There's a goal in my bucket!
30th July 2008
The 'Bucket List' was recently released on DVD, it follows the story of two gentlemen - Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman - who are diagnosed with terminal illnesses and embark on a journey of discovery to tick off all the places they wish they had visited. When asked by Opinion Matters/Ticketbox.net what was on their 'bucket list' over 1500 people voted interestingly with travel coming out way ahead of anything else.
Before they kick the bucket, 1519 adults would like to visit the Seven Wonders of the World, swim with dolphins and go on Safari - these three topped the list. Sadly of the original Great Wonders, only one still exists - The Pyramids - which says a lot about the people surveyed! However, among the other favourites were the Grand Canyon, the Canadian Rockies and the Great Wall of China.
Exodus clients can swim with dolphins in Zanzibar, go on safari in no less than eight countries, trek the Canyons not only of the USA but also of Namibia and Peru, walk the Rockies in both Canada and the USA and trek the Great Wall of China as opposed to just getting off the tourist bus and taking photos of it!
Many people also stated that writing a best-selling novel was on their list of things to do, and whilst we can't help you become an accomplished writer, we can certainly put you in the mood to put pen to paper and start writing that first novel.
And all our trips are at an ethically fair price not from a 'bucket' shop (sorry, had to get that one in!) .
So which 'goal' is on your bucket list?
