I'd like to travel and stay in Bora Bora:
Jump out of an airplane.
White water rapids.
(In this order too as I'd hate to not have the parachute open and not accomplish wish number one.)

I want to learn how to fly a plane. I feel that would be the ultimate freedom. If I wanted to go to Bora Bora, I could get in my plane and fly there.
I took a couple of lessons but chickened out at the first sign of danger and didn't go back.

Bucket lists are stupid. They are built-in excuses not to get off your ass because the timeline of "Before I die" is flexible and ever-changing. You can tell yourself that and make your goals lofty and unnattainable because you don't ever have a set "deadline." Then one day some shit happens and you almost hit your finish line TODAY instead of SOMEDAY. Ask Ma.
You want to play piano, find a piano and start banging away. Wanna drive the coast? Fly to Frisco and hit the rental counter, and as a bonus you can hit HotD up for a Maitai on the beach at sunset.
Stop planning shit for "someday." Some of you don't have one.

I hope to be able to sit on my ass one day and do not a fucking thing,I want my list of shit to do to be empty.
That is the only thing on my bucket list.

Play a round at Pebble Beach.
Drive the old route 66.
Visit southern Europe. Start in Munich and head to Austria and Switzerland. Then cross the Alps into northern Italy and head to the Adriatic coast. Then up through Serbia and into Hungary.
Would love to make that trip by train if possible.

I don't have a bucket list. I would dearly love to go to Africa though. For me, a photo safari would be the trip of a lifetime, my own ridiculous fear of flying keeps me from doing that.

Maybe you should just work on the fear of flying.

I think the only way to conquer that would be for me to actually fly & continue flying. Not only will I be convinced I'm about to die but I will turn to you & tell you that you're about to as well.

If you have a fear of flying and are pretty sure you'll never get on a plane again, then you're safe to visit airdisaster.com.
There, you can review EVERY commercial aircraft accident the world has known. Lots and lots of details, sometimes there are even eyewitness accounts, or, if you're really lucky, cockpit voice recorder transcripts.
After visiting, you'll never, EVER set foot in an airplane again.

Do NOT put those notions in her head MS!! Flying is very safe....unless I'm flying the plane.
I am afraid to ride on a plane as well. I thought that taking lessons would help with that. It made it worse.

You still think you're going to die; you just don't care as much.

It's more than slightly ironic, and obvious in the ambiguous meaning, that death stops us from living more.

I'm sure Africa is gorgeous but like some other places I'd like to see but wont ever go cause i would worry about their food supply. I don't want to eat mystery meat or wonder if it's been refrigerated or see monkey turds and besides nobody is requiredmto even wash their hands in many countries. I haven't traveled at all outside of the us (except a nightmare trip to the Bahamas once) that's why I would like to travel in the US. I like knowing my restaurant has been inspected. I'm kind of a germ freak
