Want to see George Strait in concert.
Want to see Revolutionary War and Civil War battle sites, museums, etc.
Want to visit Europe for WW2 stuff and to see where I came from (mostly Irish and German)

I want to get to all MLB ballparks. I've been to 12 of the current 30 so far (plus a few that have been retired).
I have also never been to an ISU bowl game. I'd like to cross that off at some point.
I'd also like to see a show on Broadway in NYC.
I've never been out of the US and, at this point in my life I'm not sure I ever will. I don't like long flights and I don't have a passport. *shrugs*

Travel.
Hit all the continents, including Antarctica.
I've already been to Asia (Japan) but there are so many things I haven't seen.

I always wanted to work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Two of my sons have worked on several.
I would like to go see the Farragut Naval Training Station where my uncle died of meningitis 19 days after entering the Navy, before I was born.
Also trace my Dad’s path in WWII. So that would be Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Camp San Luis Obispo, CA, Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, New Guinea, New Britain, Guadalcanal, and then Luzon where he was shot. Then tracing the route back requires looking through more letters. I know after the field hospital, he was in a hospital in Manila for over a month, and at some point wound up at Camp Roberts, CA. They put him on a hospital type train I think in the Bay Area. Even though he was pretty weak still they put him in charge because as a staff sergeant, he was the highest ranking guy on the train. Took train to Jefferson Barracks near St. Louis and hitchhiked back to Iowa. I will skip the hitchhiking part. Also the getting shot and starving part.

Hike every trail in the US National Park System - There are so many miles I'm honestly not sure it's possible.
Visit Wrangle Island - Actually walk around, camp on the island, not just pass by on a boat. Unfortunately it's owned by Russia and I'm not inclined to give them any of my money right now.

If you want to visit every continent, I have the perfect option for you. Join the Seven Continents Club.
I once sat next to the guy in the artical on a flight. He had gone to every continent to run a Marathon every day for a week in every continent.
When I met him, he was flying from Hawaii on a Saturday to Denver to run either a full or half marathon on Sunday, and then was flying home early Monday.

We didn't take the train, but that is beautiful country up there. We rode four wheelers up a mountain in British Columbia. There were still remnants of wildfire damage in places, but it was still beautiful.
I was JUST looking at the lineup for Glastonbury today, which is why I thought of this thread!
Base Jump the Cave of Swallows (probably never happen, probably aged out)
Swim in the Devils Pool at Victoria Falls
Scuba Dive the Reef in Belize before it dies
Bangkok, Rio, Japan
Become a master Italian Chef, especially Pizza Maker.
I've already hit a lot like fiji, great barrier reef, skydivings, bungee jumping, some others.

I don't have a good bucket list. I can get far too caught up in the day-to-day grind.
Back to the OP referencing Ukraine... events like that always remind me how much more work I need to do as a father to ensure my kids are ready to roll when I'm gone.
I wasn't really afraid of death until I had kids. But now, the prospect of them growing up without me is terrifying.

My father was a private pilot and we flew quite often when I was growing up and I loved every minute of it. When I was in my teens he offered to help me get a pilots certificate but I just didn't have much self confidence to think I could actually land a plane. Flying yes...landing no way!!!
But I am now past 66 and have for many years wished I had gone ahead and done it so right now my plan is to take ground school in the next year or so and then start taking actual lessons and see how it goes. At the very least go through all the training and then decide with the insructor if I can solo.
I know there are pilots on this site and I will reach out for advice when the time comes.

I don't really have a desire for international travel so maybe my bucket list is probably not as adventurous as others. I don't have any particular places set in my mind but I would like to attend some road games at other stadiums such as WV in Morgantown and make a little road trip of the area while in some of those places. Maybe even go to a game somewhere in the SEC like LSU.
Would like to go back to Hawaii again some day and visit some of the islands we did not see the 1st time there. Probably will wait till our 20th anniversary or when our kids are older to appreciate it if we take them as that is an expensive trip.
Maybe enter a local BBQ contest some day and see how I do. I like smoking meat and like to think I am pretty good at it based on what people have told me that have tried mine.
After kids are out of college or I retire buy another sports car. I kind of got this one off my bucket list already as before I had kids as I bought one of the last Chevy Monte Carlo SS to ever be produced as it was literally the last order the Chevy dealer was able to place with the factory when I bought it in 2007. Had to trade it in 7 years later when we had our first kid as a 2 door car was not very practical anymore but I would love to own another 2 door car again some day.

I'd really like to live in Thailand for about a year, maybe longer. There are two reasons for that. The first and foremost is the food. Thai food is out of this world. The second reason is it's really, really cheap. You can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and eat very well and when they hand you the bill, you might have a heart attack when you see 362 baht, but that's only $10 American. You can rent a really nice one-bedroom apartment in parts of Thailand for 4,000 baht, about $125 a month US.
There’s an organized driving trip through Scotland and each couple has their own Mini Cooper to drive
