Tony's Bucket List

Tony seems to be very bravely accepting his mortality. I'm sure there will be days ahead when he is very pissed-off at the hand he has been dealt... But today he was giving serious thought to his personal Bucket List.

For anyone who hasn't seen the movie The Bucket List, a bittersweet drama/comedy, here's the scenario:
When corporate mogul Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) wind up in the same hospital room, the two terminally ill men bust out of the cancer ward with a plan to experience life to the fullest before they kick the bucket.

So far, the Top 2 items on Tony's bucket list are (1) following the Tour de France 2011, and I mean in France in a Motorhome, not on the Versus Channel, and (2) playing golf at Pebble Beach.

Followed by:
  • Spending quality time with our families (extended families included) and close friends
  • Golfing in Maui with Brian and Dennis.. and generally just playing as much golf as possible
  • Fishing in Mexico with Phil and Michelle Bennett (and hopefully Jamie and Gareth Insull)
  • Visiting the Umbria region of Italy with the Manueles following the Tour, maybe followed by a trip to Croatia
  • Climbing Kiliminjaro
  • Visiting his homeland of Australia and seeing his Mum and stepbrothers

What's in your Bucket List?

Merry Christmas!
