got the idea for this thread from reading a couple of other posts on other topics. got me thinking about things id like to do, try or even see before i leave this earth for good.

one thing that springs to mind straight away. is ive always wanted to learn how to "sign". as in learn to communicate in sign language.

so how about you guys and girls, anything?

Midgets, giants, sisters, mothers and daughters (turned down a lady boy and mother in a bar in Pattaya but thought about it) and Eskimos, Africans, Chinese, Europeans but never twins.

I am on the lookout for twins. I was introduced to a set in Sattahip who were looking for a husband to put one through medical school while the other kept house. They were orphans and I was introduced to them by the family who was tired of paying their bills. They seemed nice but I knew the family too well and thought our relationship would be under a microscope all the time so I declined.

So if you know of any identical twins looking for a fun short vacation, a couple of weeks or months let me know. Females preferably. Although .... if they were really cute!

My list is short because I've done loads of traveling, by foot, hitchhiking, car, boat, train, and even flew enough to satisfy most people.

Probably at the top is to ski with my son (half Thai)

Another would be to someday do a thru-hike of the Appalachian trail with him (he's only 5 now so, it'll be at least 10 more years)

I've done most everything I ever wanted to do. At one time I was an ardent big game hunter and had asperations of taking a hunting safari to Africa, but I've grown beyond that and I would rather just take photos now. I've climbed all the mountains that I wanted and played with enough dangerous creatures to serve 3 life times. Now, I'd just like to survive long enough to see my grand kids grow up. I still like my ladies, but I'm a lot fussier now and I've narrowed it down to just a few special ones. There is one thing I've learned over 70 busy years and that is do all those exciting things you ever wanted before you are 40. As you grow older the original goals don't seem as important any more. As much as I still enjoy life, I'm not in awe of things like I was when I was younger.

I have always wanted to walk Hadrian's Wall and the Cornwall/Devon coastal path. I hope modern sawbones can sort my legs out for me to have a crack.

edited for as much as I love the East, the countryside of the UK is always in my heart.

The UK countryside truly is lovely... even for a Canadian guy who enjoys the great outdoors.

I want to go to Ethiopia.

Thanks for that

My uncle lives near the eastern end of the wall and I used to love going down to Hexham on the train from Newcastle.

Truly beautiful countryside. (One day it even never rained!)

Forgot..... I've always wanted to find a previously undiscovered species of animal which is one reason I'd love to go down the Amazon. I'm a keen animal lover and a big fan of David Attenborough.

I'd love to find some kind of exotic bug. If you find a new species then you get to name it yourself, I'd probably call it Dave.

I had planned a trip down the Amazon, started off taking three months to drive the Pan American Highway then I flew into Colombia. Its at that point my plans changed. Instead of getting down to Leticia on the Amazon River, I met a lady in Bogota and ended up married to her. Oh I did get south and took a short trip on the river but it was years later with her family, and I never did go from Colombia to the mouth of the river, then across to Africa.

I'd like to rejourney much of my travels with my Thai wife, Machu Picchu Stonehenge, Paris,Rome,Giza,the Alps, Rockies, Andes etc from islands to continents to redo most of what I've done before, and do what I've not yet done (of which there is more to do it'd take a thousand lifetimes)with her by my side.

You sound like a very happy contented man....................

Everything I seem to have wished for in my younger days seems to have come true.

Travel to strange places, exotic women, marvellous experiences.

About the only thing that hasn't happened is easy money, I've always had to work for it.

I'm only 61 though, there's still time.

I am on the lookout for twins.  

There was really cute pair operating in Chiang Mai a few years ago, but as soon as they started to get good at their job some idiots married them. Of course, every time their hubbies let them come back to "take care of mum" they were back dancing on the bar at Spotlight - but not together. I'm glad to have made their acquaintance before they got married. 

Pyramids ... I've pretty much done everything else that I've wanted to. (and some things that I didn't want to)

I want to cuddle a baby orangutan.

Get out of Kansas.

Get out of America.

Get into Thailand.

See as much of Asia as I can.

Write some books.

Learn some more.

See my children grow healthy and successful.

Share it all with my wife.

A friend of mine here on Samui sent some specimen of a little scorpion he had in his garden to a university in Europe.

It was a new species, he named it after his daughter Sofia.

There were a couple of good movies about this topic.

The Bucketlist with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman was the most similar to this topic. The two old guys set off on adventures together to complete adventures before they died.

Second Hand Lions was a great little movie about 2 old guys who had done it all but wanted to go out in style. Michael Caine and Robert Duvall were great.

Done most of the things I've ever wanted to but I fancy doing thr Trans Siberian Express, from Russia to China. In summer of course.

Apart from that I want to know how the first post in this thread is #6 and the one before this is #53

Here's a good movie for you Ian.

The World's Fastest Indian.

I saw it and liked it. In fact I can't think of a movie with Anthony Hopkins that I haven't liked.

I've always wanted to see Machu Picchu. When I was a child I dreamed of being an archaeologist. I'd still love to go on a dig sometime. But I did fulfill one of my dreams with my trip to the UK last September. Had a wonderful time, visited the origins of the family in the fabulous Yorkshire Dales. Met mossy (Oxford was a highlight!) and scouser, and in general, would do it all again. But next time I want to visit Wales, Cornwall, and Devon, and spend more time in Scotland.

Mostly, its places I'd like to see, which time and money have kept me from doing.

Wensleydale and the very small village where my name originated:

Oxford, and cheers to Mossy for a fabulous time! I will never forget that old guy in the museum

I can't find 'Whiplash' on the map. Maybe it's been changed?

Are you any good at making cheese? Love a bit of Wensleydale with a salad - but the pre-packed stuff just doesn't do it.
