I’m loving all the destinations guys. There’s some great ideas here. I’ve definitely added a few more to my lifetime list that I’d never really thought of before. Hopefully the same is true for you guys.

Oops - scratch Hokkaido. I’d started out to recommend northern Japan but switched to southern mid-comment.
Cheers

southeastern Turkey (Gaziantep and around) - bec. I’ve loved every other region of Turkey and I’ve been told the pple here are the friendliest and the food the best

Algiers - to see and hear rai performed in the birthplace of rai

Hokkaido - southernmost Japanese islands, because it’s hard to imagine a sub-tropical Japan

1. Vietnam and Thailand - I put them together because I’d really like to do this in one trip. And like previous commenters some of the biggest draws for me are food and beaches I’d also like to ride an elephant, but I hear that they don’t treat them very well
2. Africa - all of it!
3. Japan - I’d really like to learn more about where my ancestors come from

The three places on my long-term list are:
1. Australia in general and Ayers Rock in particular, with a stop-over on the Cook Islands
2. Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, Africa ( I did a safari in Kenya years ago and it was wonderful - the best experience ever!)
3. India

The three places on my short-term list are:
1. Icefield Parkway in the Canadian Rockies between Jasper National Park and Banff, Alberta (slightly off-season, though, …as we despise tourist crowds)
2. Kodiak Island, Alaska - to observe Grizzly Bears in the wild
3. Norway and Germany, back to our homelands for a family visit

The only place I have zero interest in is China, despite the Great Wall. I’d only consider going there as an alternative to bariatric surgery.

Well, I want to go pretty much everywhere I haven’t been. And back to all the places I have been to. Most of my dream trips aren’t necessarily a single place, but more of a long journey. The top choices at the moment are:

1. Overland from Istanbul to Beijing along the silk route, going through the Caucuses, Iran, and all the Stans.
2. Sail on a dhow from Lamu, Kenya to Zanzibar, Tanzania.
3. Pretty much everywhere in Africa. I haven’t been to West Africa or Northern Africa yet and would love to go. I’ve been to parts of South Africa, but want to visit Namibia, Botswana, and spend a lot more time in S.Africa & Zimbabwe. Basically, an overland trip from Tangier to Cape Town would be perfect.

hmmm…

my three would be:

some village in africa -have no idea which, but i want to hangout with that bizarre & wonderful culture.

australia- do some camping & hopping around with kangaroos. if i survive the heat & alligators i’d also like to visit sydney & go to their amazing theater.

london- i think london is my perfect place. accents, cool towns… or maybe the movies have just painted me a great picture & it involved hugh grant as my tour guide.

within the states:

jackson hole, wyoming. so many outdoor adventures that i’m dying to get there.

coastal town in maine. beautiful landscapes. hang out with some fisherman.

alaska. the northern lights. the fact that most of it is still so untouched.

& i’m working on visiting those places…

for example:
if there’s ever a honeymoon in my future it’ll be to Australia this much we’ve agreed on!

1. Ireland, the homeland

2. Switzerland, the other homeland–Lisa take note

3. a road trip across all of Canada ending in Alaska on the road west and then travel across the United States on the road home,preferably in an RV, but I would be happy in an aqua mini-van and Mary Jane has said she will go with me.

Right now there are 2 places I really really really want to go to:
Ireland
Alaska
I don’t care which one I visit first but I definitely want to go to both of them ,hopefully in the not too far future.
Of course I will travel anywhere anytime. I love to visit new places.
