Bucket lists have become quite the thing recently. And, yes, I have one…well, actually, I have more than one.
I have foreign and domestic travel bucket lists, a general activities bucket list, and bucket lists of things to do and see in specific cities and regions that I’ve already visited or can visit multiple times fairly easily.
Isn’t being anal retentive a blast?
I know you’re DYING of curiosity to see what’s on my lists…so follow me!
