I am having the time of my life with my bucket list this year. There haven't been a lot of major things on it, but there have been fun things. For example, I got my first tatoo. I got a personalized license plate to commemorate this year. I have tried new food. I've started and continued writing my book. I'm doing a recipe book for my fave recipes. I'm learning to dance. I have spent more time going out with my friends and not so much alone time.
But here is the biggie......
I have booked a flight on a plane! That's right. I am 62 and never been on a plane and harbored a slight fear of one. But thanks to a friend who provided me with input and confidence to do it, I started researching round trip non-stop flights and found one that was super affordable. I posted the ad that triggered it on Facebook and another friend saw it and has decided to go on a trip with me. Within a couple hours of my original post we had a flight booked.
Where am I going? Now that is the reallly exciting part. My one place in the U.S. that has always been a dream destination that I never told anyone because I knew I would never go is Miami, FL. Ever since the 1980's and my love affair with Miami Vice and Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) I have wanted to experience Miami. So that is where we are going. I am so excited that I can hardly stand it.
We are going in mid summer because I want to experience the height of the season with sunny skies and warm sunshine.
One thing I hope to do is visit somewhere that I can see live flamingos. Since my friend has a beach room and is flamingo crazy like me, I am sure we will find some while we are there.
It's hard to tell what we will see or do, but one things for sure. We will have fun.
