Life Travel Destinations You Would Like to Go To, But Haven't. - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 06-01-2011, 10:49 PM

A twist on the thread about travel destinations you'd recommend. Where would you like to go?

For myself, I offer the following top ten lists for domestic and international.

Inside the U.S.

1. Key West. Key lime pie and I like wearing white pants. What else needs to be said?

2. Boston. I can't believe I've never been there. Lots of cool historical stuff, I hear.

3. New Orleans. Another "I can't believe I've never been there" place. Probably should've gone when I was single.

4. One of those sequoia/redwood forests in California. Technically, I've been there, but I was two years old. I'd like to go when I know more than three adjectives.

5. Kauai. I'm going to Maui and Honolulu later this year for the first time, but even with that Kauai seems like a place I'd like to go.

6. The Breakers in Rhode Island. I like fancy old mansions. I should live in fancy old mansion.

7. The Vanderbilt Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. See above.

8. Barrow or Nome, Alaska. Doesn't matter which one. I'd just like to see one of them.

9. Niagara Falls. Maybe try to check out the Finger Lakes while I'm there.

10. Martha's Vinyard or Nantucket. Doesn't matter which one.

Honorable mentions in no particular order: Glacier National Park, Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Minot (ND), Mackinac Island (MI), Monticello, Mark Twain Museum in Connecticut, rural Vermont, Hudson River Valley (NY), rural northern Nevada just to see what it's like.

International:

1. Italy. I think I'm the last American who hasn't been to Italy.

2. Amazon River. Preferably in Brazil, preferably do a full navigation of it.

3. China. Never seen the Great Wall, probably should.

4. Macchu Picchu. Duh.

5. Timbuktu. I really want to go there, but don't know if it's safe right now (or in my lifetime).

6. Antarctica. Honestly, just so I could say I've been there.

7. Finland. Don't know why, but Finland interests me. It's kind of the invisible part of Scandinavia. Plus, they do naked coed saunas.

8. Bulgaria. This has been intriguing me more in recent years. I'd want to add Albania and Romania to the itinerary, though.

9. Mongolia. Because everyone should go to Mongolia once.

10. Turkey. Seem like there's a lot of interesting stuff in Turkey.

Honorable Mentions in no particular order: Churchill (Canada, to see the polar bears), Greenland, The Congo (just to say I've been to the Congo), Ethiopia, Morocco, Switzerland, Amsterdam, the French Riviera, Tibet, Bhutan (kicking myself that I didn't go there once when I had the chance), Thailand, Bali, Japan, Island of Yap (just to say I've been there).

I want to see the work of the Renaissance Masters which I try to emulate first hand. And before I die I WILL see the Sistine Chaple ceiling with my own eyes.

In the US I'd like to make it up to Alaska. Would love to see a grizzly bear and maybe do some fishing there. Ireland, the home of my ancestors and maybe Italy to see some of the art there.

MOhillbilly · 06-02-2011, 07:34 AM

I'm like Johnny Cash - I've been everywhere, man.

Frazod · 06-02-2011, 08:25 AM

Outside of the US, I'd like to visit the Alps (Switzerland, Austria, Germany). China would be cool - I'd love to see the Great Wall. Not much interest in places that are really hot. Zero interest in any Muslim countries, so I guess that rules out Egypt.

Inside, the US, the last places I haven't been that I'd have any interest in seeing would be the Pacific Northwest, New England above Boston, the Grand Canyon, New Mexico and the Adironacks.

**TrebMaxx** · 06-02-2011, 10:33 AM

Australia, Ireland, Scotland, Monaco, Belgium, Amsterdam, Fiji, numerous Caribbean Islands (been to a few but there are so many), remote fishing trip in Canada.

Florida Keys, Coastal area of Maine, Gettysburg, New Orleans, the Oregon Coast, Alaska.

Frazod · 06-02-2011, 10:38 AM

Oh, I forgot the Scottish Highlands. Would be nice to visit my ancestral homeland at some point.

I should add Alaska to the list as well.
