Filling the Bucket #MFRWauthor

WEEK 48 OF THE CHALLENGE is another of those personal topics. This post is going to be short. Despite my age, I try to tell myself I'm too young for a bucket list (just ignore the silver hair.)
Two activities tease the back of my mind. An inn-to-inn bicycle tour and a camping trip on horseback in Montana or Wyoming.

Other items are trips to:Hawaii - I want to visit Kīlauea and while there honor Pele by tossing a lei into her cave. Then a hike through the rain forest with a slide down a waterfall to cool off.

Scotland - honor my ancestors with a trip to the land of my heritage. And while across the pond, use the trip to research Ireland and Wales.
And if there is any money left over (yeah, right) attend the writers' and readers' conferences I've missed over the years.
For an off-the-wall, never-gonna-happen item, write a best-seller novel.As a result of my work as a correspondent and feature story writer, a few items have already been taken out of the bucket. I've had backroom tours of the stacks of several major museums, and watched vintage aircraft perform while I sat in the exclusive pilots area. If I miss next week, it's because I'm emptying an item from the bucket. While I'm gone, be sure to see what's in other buckets.
