My Bucket List - Rocky Mountaineer Rail

Several years ago, I had a retiree come into my office to plan a “surprise” 40th Anniversary for his wife.  He planned to take her around the world doing all the things that were on Her ‘bucket list’.  Together we planned 8 weeks of travel, and first on her list was the Rocky Mountaineer Rail journey in the Canadian Rockies.

And I remember thinking, “so romance is still alive when you retire”. 

Since then I have added the Rocky Mountaineer to my bucket list too.
