Bucket List

[ten ocho recon scout]

Along the lines of the last meal thread. 

Youre dying or the rest of the world is. You have 2 months, money is no object (well, dont ruin and say youd fly to Mars, make it realistic). 

What is your thing or things, place or places that youd head to and see next week if your rime was up, and you had the money?

[ten ocho recon scout]

Time, not rime

My wish is for skinny thumbs before i die.

[Blarg]

If money is not an object I'd buy a Ferrari in France and with my wife drive to tip of Calbria and maybe back if I have time. Not much more than an overnight bag and a nice suit for formal dinners but change out the wardrobe as we go. 

[Tank]

Fly to Cairo and see all of that incredible Egyptian history, then board a cruise ship for a spin around the Med with stops in Athens and Rome and Madrid. Then board a flight for home and catch one of those 30 day cruises to Hawaii and Australia.

[Stradling]

I'd fly to mars. 

[Blarg]

If you only have two months to live you won't get a third of the way there. So you die in a deep, lonely vacuum far from home and family and not accomplishing any goal.

Great choice.

hmmm, i've been pretty lucky to do a grip of shit. the only thing i don't think i have done yet is travel, drive a super car (although i am thinking of a vegas trip soon and may rent a mclaren), and take a private jet.

if money isn't an object, i am probably combing them all and just going to james bond jet set.

private jet full of high end escorts, thots, and ho's flying to various destinations that land with a super car waiting and something like a limo (supers only allow one chick at a time, so during the rotation the rest can follow in that or g-wagons and range rovers). stay at the best or rarest places offered and do random shit like you would see anthony bourdain do. just bouncing around the world with a jet and super car around town. occasionally fly in friends and family to share in it all while paying some of my favorite artists and bands to come out and do a private (or hell, maybe public and flood the streets with locals like those gnarly ass festivals you see in brazil) coachella type of eclectic event or something quiet and intimate over dinner.

i might throw in some kind of heist straight out of heat or the town on the last day since i'm going out anyway.

any left over money will be donated to arte moreno so he can continue to buy past their prime stars to ridiculous contracts to ensure that angels win thrives after i am gone.

oh, and obligatory:

Week 1:  Fly by private jet, and some kind of sportscar, to Monterrey and play the 3 Pebble Beach courses.   Then fly to Kentucky and go to the Kentucky Derby VIP style. 

Week 2:  Drive down to that dump and play Augusta National, a few times. 

Week 3:  Fly out to Baltimore and go to the Preakness, VIP style. 

Week 4:  I've always wanted to go see the Northern lights, so fly out to Iceland or deep Canada to watch them. 

Week 5:  Time to kill, so time to fly out to Macau and play with the big boys.

Week 6:  Then fly back to New York to do the Belmont, VIP style. 

Week 7:  Fly out to Monte Carlo and play James Bond.  Then fly out to England

Week 8:  Play all of the Open courses, ending on St Andrews, and croaking on the 19th hole there.

[Brandon]

good call, throw augusta national in there.

this feels so out of the realm of possibility to do that i didn't even think about it.

That is pretty close to mine. I would also like to make a trip to the Galapagos Islands and see Macchu Picchu in Peru..

I have some sinus problems and a fractured orbital bone that prevent me from diving more than 12-15 feet these days. If I had a mask that could relieve the pressure I'd like to take a global diving trip with my daughters and my old best friend and frequent dive partner. Days in the water and nights at the local hangouts

I'm going to try and make it to Triumphfest in September if my ankle hasn't  been operated on. That count? 

[Slegnaac]

Snowboarding in the Alps.  

Baccarat in Monte Carlo. 

Camping on the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Sailing the Caribbean.

Playing in the Main Event or One Drop.

[Ray McKigney]

I'd like to do the go watch a game at every MLB ballpark trip. Always thought that would be fun.

[Jay]

I did enough stupid/crazy stuff in my younger years so I'm good on that. Also I've been to Europe a few times so I'm good on that as well. As far as Anthony Bourdain goes, I have no desire to travel to Bumfuck Asia to eat the still-beating heart carved out of a cobra at my table.

I would probably hire one of those huge busses that you can live in, with a driver of course, and cruise around the U.S. to see as much of it as I can before I go. Do some fishing and hiking here and there, enjoy nature, visit some old friends.

Nice!

Fyi though, the Casino in Monte Carlo is a joke...most overrated place on earth.

Thats something i would pick. Any particular dive spot? Id love to do gallapagos or cocos before i die.

I had an uber driver a few years back, retired Army. Drove uber about 3 months a year to save money for whatever. The rest of the year he lived on a sailboat. He said he just sets out with no plan...dives, catches his own fish, etc, comes back to land like once a month....i probably would get over it quick. But it sounded cool as hell.

No particular spot stands out. Plenty of great sites. It would be more about an activity I enjoy with my girls and my friend. He and I did around 100 dives in Okinawa and we've done Bohol and Bali. I'd probably have to wear 30 lbs of weight these days.

Lol, i know the feeling...

How sad that probably isn't to update his Facebook page every day.

Lol, no kidding.

He had some stories, man. Said 3 times he accepted he was gonna die, but made it. 

I asked if he runs oit of movies, books, etc. He said he had a friend rig some wazoo satelite to the boat so he gets every channel (score!).

Hang out all day, dive, fish, read, no one to bother you....pretty envious.

If I had two months to live, I would spend as much time as possible with my wife and my family. It wouldn't matter what we are doing.
