last fling

One more adventure

A last fling is a final burst of indulgence or freedom before circumstances change—typically before marriage, parenthood, or some other commitment that will curtail such behavior: She went to Vegas for one last fling before the wedding.

The phrase often implies romantic or sexual adventure, but can describe any carefree episode undertaken with the awareness that such opportunities are ending.
