I would like to go on an Alaska cruise with an excursion to Fairbanks to see the Northern Lights.

My most favorite bucket list experience was off the coast of Australia. The Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef. My husband and I with another couple charted a bareboat. In bareboating, you are the skipper and the crew. It was the best five days and four nights that I have ever experienced. We had storm drama, great first-time snorkeling, abundant fishing and beautiful scenery. There were so many fish we tried knocking them out with a bucket and scooping them up. (Needless to say, that didn’t work.) We anchored in protected waters, checked in every night, never got lost and never without a daily adventure. The water was so clear and tropical fish were everywhere. Sleeping with the waves rocking the boat and the sound of the sea life all around was so relaxing.

Definitely, Niagara Falls. I have seen so many beautiful pictures. It looks amazing. And also, the Grand Canyon. A helicopter ride over the Canyon would be awesome.

One of my favorite bucket list trips was touring Australia. My husband, Lauren, and I enjoyed the people! The Climate! The scenery! The food, not so much.
