One thing that had been on MY bucket list for a long while was to go to Alaska in the winter to see the Aurora Borealis (northern lights). We realized that in March of 2013 just after I retired. I Loved it so much I went back with my SIL this last March.
Yosemite was on DW's list so we did that in Sept. of 2013 along with the Redwoods and SF. (on both of our bucket lists)
Now she's talking about driving to Alaska. :E I don't know if that's going to happen or not.
I feel VERY lucky to have been to so many beautiful places around this country that my bucket list now is to just keep traveling, driving and sight-seeing as long as our bodies (and wallet) can tolerate it. Just being able to get out and travel no matter how long or far is a "blessing"!
