The Bucket List did great at the box office, but the "must see" destination list in the movie did not include any places in the U.S. To correct that omission, here are some iconic destinations that are worthy of any Bucket List. So get out your own list, or start one right now, and add some of these to your list of places to go before you "kick the bucket." Because you don't have to leave the country, you can save flight time and money. Make sure you reserve your parking spot ahead of time to save money by not paying for an expensive parking spot at the airport. Off-site, private parking is safe, secure, and convenient. A shuttle picks you up and brings you right to the airport. You don't have to lug your bags across a giant airport lot!
Chicago - Remember Vince Vaughn's character in The Break-Up? He was a tour guide for the Windy City, and Chicago is definitely a tour-worthy destination. Navy Pier is the Midwest's top tourist attraction, thanks to its boat tours, boardwalk, and giant Ferris wheel. Enjoy Chicago via a sightseeing bus, river boat, or lake cruise. Now you can even tour the Windy City by segway, a small personal transportation device that is self-balancing. To see the historic neighborhoods and enjoy tasting new culinary delights, take a Food Tour.
Washington DC - There are plenty of free attractions and cheap activities in DC, making this the ultimate experience for those on a budget. The Smithsonian's National Zoo is free and open every day (except Christmas Day). The kids will enjoy seeing the National Mall, thanks to the kid-friendly tours offered by DC by Foot. The National Geographic Museum offers free exhibits on a range of topics. And of course, the real reason you go to DC is to see the historical landmarks. Once you visit the National Mall and Memorial Parks, you'll walk away with a better appreciation for American history.
Grand Canyon - The Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the most breathtaking spots on earth. Situated in the Grand Canyon National Park, you can see the Inner Rim by backpacking or riding on a mule to Phantom Ranch. There are three river trip options in the park, including smooth water and whitewater raft trips.
New York City - You'll never run out of things to do in NYC, and even the hardest to please traveler will find something of interest here. Times Square is one of the most popular destinations on any tourist's list, both inside and outside the U.S. The Statue of Liberty is the ultimate American symbol and has recently reopened for visitors. TV buffs can attend a free taping of one of their favorite TV shows while art connoisseurs can browse through over two million pieces of art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Hawaii - You'll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't think that Hawaii is gorgeous. When you're there, be sure to walk the hiking trail into an old volcanic crater on the Kilauea Iki Trail in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. On Kauai's Napali Coast, you can get incredible photos from an air tour, bike ride, or guided hike.
Niagara Falls, NY - This city often gets forgotten on must-see lists, but it's worth a second look. There's the obvious stuff to do, like enjoy the roar of the water on a Maid of the Mist boat ride - but there's also the less obvious city attractions, like the Niagara Wine Trail.
The list could go on and on, but these are some of the ideal spots to see before kicking the bucket. It's as simple as reserving your parking spot and flying to your favorite destination.
