    Default Where Would You Like To Visit?

    I've been thinking of this a long time...and two places I'd like to visit are the UK...especially London...and anywhere in Ireland...I fell in love with London back when Prince Charles married Diana...and still want to visit...and Ireland looks like the most beautiful place...
    and I'd love to see California...LA, San Francisco, the redwoods in northern California, the Pacific Ocean,...you name it I want to see it in Cal.

    I've been lucky enough to have seen a lot of places in the US & UK. Europe is the place I need to rediscover. Most of my travels in Europe where when I was 11/12.

    The number one place on my list is Russia & it always will be. When I was a kid it was Japan. For places in Europe I need to go back to, they are Spain, Portugal & Italy. I don't believe I will ever go to Ireland because my husband is English & he would not set foot there (I refer to the Troubles in Northern Ireland).

    In the US I'd like to go back to Chicago, New Orleans & New York & I would like to see the New England autumn foliage.

    Unfortunately I am now probably too old to go to Africa or South America, or China. I could write about this forever, but won't.

    Too bad your husband still lives in the past, FP. Ireland is magnificent, and the County of Kerry is one of the most beautiful areas I've ever visited, right up there with Southern Italy's Amalfi Coast.

    I've been fortunate enough to visit many places all around the world, but I've never been to Israel or Russia (although I've been to Romania and Moldova). Those are both places I'd like to see one day.

    I've always loved and been fascinated with the British, so definitely first on my list would be London. I'm Irish, so Ireland is a must see, too. China, Japan, and Russia are on the list also !!

    As far as the US, the only places that I've wanted to go but haven't been are LA and Boston. I'm looking forward to making these a realization soon !!

    I would like to visit Australia, since I am a child. I have collected every little article about Australia and have seen any information broadcast or travelogues on TV!

    I forgot about the Grand Canyon...and I'd love to see Mt. Rushmore...there are so many beautiful places right here in our own country that I'd love to see...and I'd love to go to NYC and really do all the touristy things...

    I keep thinking of places...Alaska and Italy....still more to come I'm sure

    Over the last few years I've had several dreams that I visited Chicago...so maybe I'm meant to go there one day!...I've heard it's a beautiful city...

    I would love to travel extensively, but my husband really could care less. He doesn't understand me at all on it. Getting him out of Missouri is quite a feat! I hope to talk him in to doing some of it, at least, someday.

    I'm most interested in seeing all of the sights in the US such as the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rushmore, the Black Hills, Sodona, Niagara Falls, NYC, LA (and all of the Eagles related sites along the way including the Hotel California, Troubadour, Sunset Grill, Pacific Coast Highway, and the Canyons!) Boston and New England in the fall. And of course, I want to stand on the corner in Winslow, AZ! I'm sure there are more, but these come right off the top of my head.

    As for Europe, I'd love to see London, Ireland, Switzerland, and Italy and maybe the pyramids in Egypt.

    I've been to Montego Bay, Jamaica; Cancun, Mexico; Miami, South Beach, and Tampa, Florida. Branson, Osage Beach, St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Austin and San Antonio in recent years. Many years ago as a teenager I got to go on a 4-H trip with a bunch of other teenagers out east to Washington DC and Gettysburg and Lancaster, PA. I loved it and would like to go again, but the others top my list.

    Well I'm pretty lucky - I been pretty much everywhere I'd like to go in the U.S. with a few exceptions - I still need to see Mt. Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park. And Brooke - it didn't cross my mind until you mentioned it, but I also need to stand on the corner in Winslow, Arizona. I've also been to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

    But as much as I've traveled, I've never left the North American continent (I'm counting the Caribbean as part of North America). At the top of my bucket list is to plan an extended trip to Europe where I can visit as many countries as possible.
