A
bucket list is a simple contract with yourself listing the goals you hope to
accomplish within your lifetime. The essence of any good bucket list consists
of overcoming fears, achieving goals, realizing dreams even simple pleasures.
What
is a good bucket list without flying first class with Emirates Air Lines? Most
passengers know that flying economy class is not exactly a luxurious or
pampering experience, particularly if there is a whiny baby across the aisle or
some wired dude with a staring problem. Why spend an astronomical amount of money on
one of their Mile High Suites? Some reasons are, complete and utter privacy,
and a personal mini bar access, a marble shower and luxurious unheard of
commercial airliners.
Most
have heard about the Northern Lights back in grade school, but have never seen
them in person. The Northern Lights are a natural visual phenomenon in the
night sky, best seen in dark skies in Alaska, the Norwegian Sea Islands, and
Denmark.
One
of my most incredible life goals is to eat at an underwater restaurant. This charming domed glass restaurant at the
Maldives Hilton Resort & Spa lies only about 5m underwater but the view is
truly one of a kind. Eating while being separated from undersea life is a
unique experience. Diners are surrounded by all sorts of undersea wildlife
including seals, turtles, and even sharks. Come to think of it, chewing down on
a fish while being watched by others may not be such a good idea.
Throwing
down a large amount of money in a casino sounds crazy and extravagant, but it
is on my list. I would like to roll into
a casino dressed in my coolest attire and plop down some hard cash on the
roulette wheel. That would be an awesome yet risky. Win or lose, I will be
certain to walk out happily.
I
have all been subjected to those late night tear jerking, save-a-pet
commercials. Before I kick the bucket, I would like to go down to a local
animal shelter and adopt a dog or a cat. If not for me, perhaps for a good
friend who needs a companion.
