It's not a topic we love to talk about.. however death is inevitable, so what are some destinations or places you wish to visit before you are buried? I have Vegas on list.

Never been to Europe
London for sure

I would say I’ve been to all the places in United States outside of maybe Alaska and the keys, I’ve been to Miami though

Europe and London are illegal alien Muslim shitholes.

I’d love to be in an overwater bungalow at bora bora for a week . Snorkel and swim and unplug and watch the sun rise and set

That’s probably number 1 for me.

I’d like to go back to south Africa and Botswana . I loved it . To be out in the bush and seeing the stars with no lights it was breathtaking .

Honestly man set the bar higher. While I’m not a Vegas fan, I have nothing against people who enjoy it. But it doesn’t belong anywhere near a “places to see before I die” list

That might be the least ambitious bucket list destination I’ve ever seen.

Not sure Vegas would be in my top 100

I've been to 42 countries and seen a lot of things, but the one item that I really have left is to stand on the edge of a volcano and look down into a lake of lava.

There are only eight lava lakes in the world, and what I just described is (I believe) currently only possible for a tourist at one of them: Erta Ale in Ethiopia, as Ambrym in Vanuatu ruptured and its lava drained a couple of years ago, and Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of Congo has become inaccessible due to the civil war in that country.

I was actually supposed to be in Ethiopia right now, but I had to cancel my trip, and now I'm trying to reschedule for the summer.

Have you seen lava erupting? Or does it have to be standing on the edge?

Wife and I completely the most difficult hike of our life earlier this year in Guatemala. The payoff was worth it as we sat near our tent and watched a volcano continuously erupt.

I never had the chance, or means, to travel when I was younger, so I’ve been catching up on these places as fast as possible now that I can travel.

Been To:
New York City (several times now)
Washington D.C.
London
Iceland
Switzerland
Paris
Rocky Mountains
Alaska

Remaining:
Yellowstone & Jackson Hole
Rome
Hawaii
Greece
Australia
New Zealand
Bora Bora
Peru
Istanbul
Singapore



Going to Rome in 2024 and more likely than not I’ll go to Yellowstone in 2025.

In Guatemala, I've seen Volcan Fuego smoking across the valley from Antigua, but not up close. In Hawaii, I've seen the lava at Kilauea glowing at night (but the park rangers don't let you close enough to see the actual lava). But, no, I haven't actual red lava.

But, yeah, my particular desire is to look down into an actual lake of lava.

Volcanoes are not completely predictable, of course, but Erta Ale is fairly active now, and so it will hopefully still be good when I can get back this summer.

Hush. The grown-ups are talking.

I can honestly say I’ve been to all the places I really wanted to go: Australia, Italy, London, Paris,Prague, Budapest, Vienna, and Bavaria.

I’d love to see Japan, Angkor Wat, Chichen Itza, The Pyramids, The Great Wall, The Galapagos, and the Nordic countries, among other places, but I’m ok if I don’t.

Ageee. I have been to LV twice and have no desire to return. Except…that sphere thing looks pretty cool. I would go to see that. Overnight trip.

It’s just a list. I’m retired and going to LV in 3 weeks. Meeting daughter and her fiancé.
Going to see Love one evening and the Sphere another. Cannot wait.
Nothing wrong with having LV on list. Especially if you have never been.
