#TTOT Shout Outs! Topic: Bucket List Travel
Ahh the bucket list. That ever-growing inventory of wonderful things we one day hope to conquer. People have built their lives around such things…and some have even thought up rather incredible and totally awesome campaigns based on the notion.
Ahem.
The fact is, bucket lists and travel go together like Morgan and Jack (think actors as opposed to alcohol), and if there’s one thing guaranteed to set the #TTOT universe alight, it’s a full on confab concerning the items they want to check off that almighty directory before they kick the proverbial container. Good job our weekly shout outs are here to poke fun (but hopefully not holes) at people’s life goals then.
The questions this week were:
Q1. What’s the #1 item on your travel bucket list – the one thing you absolutely can’t miss?
Q2. When most people think bucket list, they think places. What non-traditional items are on your list? E.g. activities, food etc.
Q3. If money was not an issue, where’s the ‘must visit’ place on your bucket list?
Q4. Have you ever been disappointed by a bucket list item and what was it?
Q5. What is the most “extreme” place on your bucket list? Why?
The ‘Pailing In Comaprison’ Shout Out for most overflowing bucket list.
@hjortur: I’d like to float in the dead sea, get body paint in Ethiopia, learn to play the didjeridoo in Australia, find a tomb in Egypt, paragliding with a trained eagle in Kyrgyzstan, follow Inuits on a walrus hunt in East Greenland, try the horse milk in Mongolia…
The ‘All Hands On Deck-adence’ Shout Out for being a successful breadwinner.
@discoverferries: Well you know where we are if you’d like to hop across! The dippy eggs & truffle butter soldiers & champagne was to die for!
The ‘Putting On Airs and Graces’ Shout Out for blowing smoke.
@Travel_Rich: Oxygen is like SO last century…
The ‘I Believe You Are Myth-taken’ Shout Out for equine errors.

The ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Nut Butter’ Shout Out for getting your just deserts.
