Follow the Bucket List, or Create Your Own
January 11, 2008. Travel buffs who aren't relaxing somewhere in a luxury vacation rental will probably head to the movie theaters this weekend to see "The Bucket List," which opens today (January 11) in theaters across the nation.
The film features two terminally ill men, played by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, who decide together to do everything they ever wanted to do before they "kick the bucket." They charter a private jet and trot across the globe to exotic locales such as France, Egypt and India.
While the Average Joe may not have the resources to hop in a private jet for a whirlwind tour, we can all aspire to see the world over the course of our lives. Perhaps we can start today by writing our own "life list" of places we want to see and things we want to do.
If you're interested in learning more about the places featured in the film, check out an article that appeared in the Los Angeles Times, "Follow Nicholson and Freeman in 'The Bucket List.'"
The skydiving scene, for example, was filmed in California. Now there's a location we can all feasibly visit. Of course, not everyone aspires to go skydiving.
