Bucket List?
LOL - while you were out partying in New Orleans, I'd be going through their cemeteries and touring all the old plantation homes. Such history!
Well, okay, I'd be out partying with you every night, but a girl has to have something to do in daylight!

Sandy I'm right there with you.. trying to book rooms at Oak Alley. Have you ever been to Longwood House in Natchez MS? Here is a link for some photos and reviews Longwood
I have been to Longwood House - I can't remember if I stayed there or not. Natchez is a great town! But while you're in the neighborhood, check out The Myrtles Plantation down the road in St. Francisville. I toured it many years ago before it was famous based on someone I met in a bookstore in Natchez that told me to go. Now it's a B&B, and famous for being one of the most haunted houses in America.
I went back and stayed the weekend there with some friends - I never saw a ghost, but there sure were a lot of weird things going on. Like me telling my friends that the restaurant nearby must be having corn on the cob because I smelled "fresh shucked corn". Nobody else smelled it, but dismissed it until later, when we took the official ghost tour and the guide said that some people smell "fresh shucked corn" on the grounds.
And the dresser drawers being opened and closed at night...or hearing someone move from room to room downstairs early morning when there was no one there...I never once felt scared or threatened in any way; just interested.

I want to (after the kids are grown and out) sell my home, buy an RV, and just live wherever I feel like it at the moment. If my kids are cool with it, the hubby and I would like to build one of those tiny houses near them. No electric or plumbing required. Just keep things super simple!

Agreed! Phones can work as Wifi hotspots though... and they make super cool solar charging mats now. Leave it in the sun for a day and it will charge your phone. There are other solar options for a generator type approach and we would include that for the tiny house. We just want to be off the grid. We are campers and backpackers here so the no running water is not an issue. But who knows, maybe by the time we want to buld our tiny house that will be a priority given we will be a little older and perhaps may not want to mess with things like that.

Peru, Chile, Cuba, Italy, Russia, Turkey, Tibet, Egypt...I could go on and on.
Back to Ireland over and over.
Learn to play the clarinet.
Watch a game at every Major League baseball park in America - then start a tour of the minor league parks!
Really, those are about it. Travel is what I really want to do in my second half of life.
