My Concert Bucket List… What’s Yours?

Posted on October 8, 2013 by talesfromthemotherland | 32 Comments

I’m a music junky. Hard core. I generally have music on any time I’m in the car, or writing, or cooking, or exercising… or doing just about anything. If the music’s off, I tend to sing. I’m not the greatest singer, but I’m not the worst either. Any chance I get to go see someone I like, live, I grab….

A Birthday to Remember: Horseback Riding in the Andes Mountains

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Leslie Patrick | 0 Comments

My first day in the picturesque Andean town of San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina did not feel promising. I arrived exhausted and dirty after a 20 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires, not including the four hours we spent broken down along the side of the road.

Posted on July 23, 2013 by Darren | 4 Comments

Lesley and I love to take lots of pictures and videos; it’s the best way to capture as many memories as we can. Having a bomb-proof camera which can perform both tasks is a must.

Top Ten Tourist Attractions – Bucket List Publications

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Lesley | 13 Comments

The Top 10 World’s Most-Visited Tourist Attractions article was received with skepticism. With more than half of the spots in the US, it was questionable on how the “attractions” were measured.

Our daughter, Lily is 10 and is into dancing, friends, shopping and watching Dance Moms. Our son, Jesse is 15 and likes surfing, spending hours on his Macbook, watching Mature-rated movies and constructing things in our back shed….
