Another Check on my Bucket List

My older daughter knows I love experience gifts more than receiving items... items I may not need or use. Though I always like a bouquet of flowers.
My 60th birthday was October 30th (no, I didn't get flowers), and a gathering was planned at my home to celebrate. My older daughter, however, had booked herself a trip away. Why she did it on a weekend knowing it was a milestone birthday for me is beyond me. Before she left she gave me a few treats, a card, and a picture of what she was giving me for a gift.
Holy smokes! My bucket list is shrinking. She took me bungee jumping this past Friday. Above is a picture from the video she took from the sidelines (she jumped before me). I am attaching the link to the video.
I would like to go again but possibly from a higher perch. This was over way too quickly. I asked to be dunked in the water, just didn't think I'd get wet almost to my waist!
Do you have a bucket list? How are you doing at achieving all you want to do?
Note: My videos are NOT monetized.

How exciting! I wouldn't be able to have the nerve to do it, but I'm always thrilled when other people can.

@spiderdust I have great anxiety, especially social anxiety and travel anxiety. I had a rough morning at the hotel but once I was on the road I was calm. I need to keep myself busy before doing stuff that give me anxiety.

@patgalca Yeah, I don't know if my nerves would let me do it!

It's always good to get those things checked off. And glad you had a good time.

I'm glad you got something you really wanted and you obviously enjoyed it.

Oh wow how cool is that. I would love to so something like that. I really don't have a bucket list but I do love doing adventurous things.

To be honest, skydiving was more exciting. But it was fun socializing, however briefly, with the other participants and the workers. Looking up at that cliff I wondered if they had a chair lift (they also had zip lining there), but no. It was a bit of a hike up a rocky mountain side. Something this old body had trouble with. But I survived.

@patgalca You did great. I will be 60 in March. I would like to go skydiving too. That would be very exciting.
