Re: What Bucket List items have you achieved later in life?
I got to go back to India in March of this year to visit my Pen Pal, of over 55 years. I had been to see her back in 1974 & then again in 2005. After my 2005 trip I didn't know if we would see each other in this lifetime. Then in late 2018 she started dropping hints about my coming for another visit in 2019. I jumped at the chance & we started making plans. When I arrived at her house we gave each other a big hug. We felt like there hadn't been any time between visits. We reminisced about my prior 2 trips and everything else that had happened since we were matched at the 1964 New York's World Fair at the Parker Pen Paviliion. I would most definitely go to India again if she invited me.
