(to be checked off the list this year!!)
While reading a bit about the Orient Express for my post last Friday, I discovered the BBC Series called “Fifty Things to Do Before You Die”. BBC viewers voted to choose the top fifty things they wanted to do before they die. The producers of the show selected a few lucky viewers to live out their dreams and filmed their journeys.
I was absolutely charmed by the adorable couple who were offered the chance to travel on the Orient Express from Venice to London in this video:
This video of a widow going to Machu Picchu on the trip she had hoped to take with her husband brought tears to my eyes:
For some reason, YouTube only had six videos available. My curiousity was piqued, so I googled the show and came up with this list of the fifty things that were chosen by BBC viewers. I must admit, quite a few of them are on my own bucket list…
What is on your bucket list?
I hope to take my Grandchildren on a fabulous trip…..well, I do not have any now….but that would be such an honor. I have traveled to Asia, to Europe, to Bermuda, Jamaica and many States….so I would love to take them on a Safari or to ski in Austria. Let's hope my health and finances and my dream are all in alignment.

What a lovely "bucket list" item! It would be lovely to do a safari with the whole family.
I should have a bucket list….I don't yet…but going to Petra would on it for sure! I'm amazed by this place.
I don't have an actual list either…just a list in my head of all the things I really want to do! Petra sounds fascinating.
Definitely on my bucket list! This is a wonderful post Sandy:) I would also enjoy a ride on a hot air balloon. My husband and son are both certified scuba divers. I.. on the other hand, am claustrophobic and would not feel comfortable under water (snorkeling is okay:)

..also added you to my blog roll:)
Leslie, you should try scuba…it's not at all claustrophobic, just the opposite really!
Thank you SO much for adding me to your blog roll!
Wow. Now my interest is peaked. We just moved to Europe 6 months ago and my list seems to keep growing as I hear of others' travels and do research on my own….. our next stop…. the Red Sea. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to see the Great Wall, too. My really big dream is to go to Australia. The flight is so long, I just can't imagine it.
My husband's dream trip is Australia and the Far East…that may be our BIG trip for next year. I am frantically saving miles for an upgrade for that trip!
