Bucket List Trip #1 Completed!

I have a list of places to see on my Bucket List. One place has held the #1 spot for a long time and that is Egypt. I had always wanted to see the pyramids and The Valley of the Kings. Last Fall my wife and I had one big beautiful trip with a visit to Egypt among other stops. We left out of Port Canaveral on a Carnival cruise ship and went across the Atlantic to Barcelona, Spain. The cruise included stops in the Bahamas, Canary Islands and Spain. We got off the ship and spent a few days seeing the sights in Barcelona including the Familia Sagrada. It was impressive. Then off to Egypt! We flew to Cairo and visited the pyramids and the new Egyptian Museum. Then flew to Luxor to board a Nile river boat for four nights. During this portion we did a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Nile, the desert and Valley of the Kings. The next stop was one of my favorites, Valley of the Kings. I toured six tombs. All were impressive! We visited many other Ancient Egyptian temples and sites. After our Nile cruise we said goodbye to Egypt and flew to Rome. I toured the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. We did a food tour and saw the Trevi Fountain. We also toured Pompeii, my #2 on my bucket list! We had a very short stay in Rome before flying back to Barcelona to take the cruise ship back to the U.S. The trip was long but was awesome!  

I still have items on my travel bucket list. Here are a few: Great Wall of China, Macchu Picchu, Yosemite Park, Australia and some U.S. cities to include Boston and Philadelphia. We may get to the Great Wall and see the Terra Cotta Soldiers this fall when we take a cruise to Japan and then hop over to China. 

What bucket list trips have you taken in the past few years? Have you done your #1? Have you marked off many trips or have you yet to begin the journey?

What about bucket list activities? My list does not include skydiving or bungie jumping but yours may. I can't think of any grand activity that would be on my list. My list is mostly places to see and experience. Do you have an bucket list of things to do? Whatever you see or do, be safe out there!
