What's On Your Top 10 Bucket List?

[Something Fishy]

So I finally got a chance to see Dan & AJK's ROR TR today. That's definitely pretty high on my list now, the problem is what should it replace?
Cuba wasn't high enough to make my top ten list to begin with, so I didn't even clear any space with this trip.

I guess my list will need to grow a little...

Why's the Sahara on the list? Other than those houses in Namibia (which have been shot to death) and that abandoned Star Wars set, what else is there that can't be had in other places?

Believe it or not, not everything on my list is photography-related

I probably read a book about something in the desert when I was a kid and got it in my head that I had to see it someday.

Sure, I can see sand dunes within driving distance of NYC but it's not the same...

Though I will admit that's probably the least intriguing of everything on my list.

Gosh that jade mountain resort is beautiful. And expensive.
I wonder if you could combine 5th day free with citi prestige forth day free - then you could do 5 for 3 (or 7 for 4). Still really expensive, but slightly more palatable

Even the cheapest room is $1050++/night. That's Aman level. Though it is breathtaking.

5th day free is a Hilton and SPG thing... this hotel belongs to one of those?

$1,050 doesn't even get you AC or a private pool, that takes $1,450++ 

[Ergel]

Correct, but if you go in shoulder season and get 4th, 5th and 7th night free
Actually, what I am I saying. That still nearly $7K for a week

Why is Ireland one of your most sought after destinations?

I heard it's supposed to be really pretty, but it was a toss up between there and Greece and I chose Ireland. Have you been?

To Ireland? Yes. Have a cousin that worked in Dublin for a few year at googles headquarters.

Nice!

As is Antarctica, Maasai Mara, Patagonia... These are mostly aspirational trips.

Also remember that getting there is bupkis, so that's a big expense saved that could go towards the hotel.

Well I replaced it with Cuba, which I forgot about when making my list.

Why is Patagonia aspirational?

[AJK]

Supposedly it's CPT, AKL and Patagonia as the top 3 prettiest places on earth.
