I'd say all are within reach except #12. If you want to achieve fulfilling your bucket list I'd take that one off the final list.

You can scratch #12 off your list...

How'd you score a private flight internationally? And how was the experience?

That's a great list. Some of mine are the same (in no particular order).
- Visit Egypt/Norway/Iceland/New Zealand/Japan - Visit The Dragon every year with a great group of auto enthusiasts - Vacation in the Maldives - Drive the Transfagarasan Road in a Lotus - Drive the Nurburgring in a Lotus - To own a Condo in New Orleans I'm sure there are others, but I'm old, so I'm forgetting my own list. |

For the sake of privacy I will just it was excellent, US to London and then back home. Brought the wife and kids as well, a wonderful trip. It was some time ago, on a Gulfstream.

I retired at 55 which was on my list so check.
F1 in Monoco was supposed to be my 60th, that was last may so Covid killed that, that will happen in another year or two. I want to travel more but when things are a bit more normal. I'd like to see Japan. Doing a photo Safari in Africa has been there but will all the unrest and unknown diseases I think I'll park that one for now. I don't argue with my wife. |

I think once my kids are a little older (like maybe wait till they hit close to double digits) then I'll start tackling a lot of these bucket list items. I had a longer list that I did a good job of attacking earlier on but that all came to a halt when we had our daughter 4 years ago.

I don`t have much of a bucket list. My wife and I choose to do things together, happy wife, happy life
In no particular order. Obviously a Porsche GT3 Move to a different house with enough property so I can build a 4 car garage with 1 or 2 lifts. Drive on the Nürburgring. Travel, I have done quite a bit until covid-19 came along. My wife and I decide together where we are going, sometimes I win, sometimes she wins As far as winning an argument with my wife After 35 years of marriage I think I have won at least one, but I can`t remember |
