I am a bit dissapointed to see that AFRICA was not on your list...

 .. there is such great places here in Africa which I am sure lots of my fellow bloggers would enjoy. So add Africa to your list...   I am glad to see that A Norseman had AFRICA on his list... Good on you mate!!!

It is so difficult, there is a lot of places to see.  I feel the same as you, there is too many on my list that I still want to do and see.  I definately still want to go to some exotic island?

Your choices are mine also Julia...:)
I would add New York City because I've always had a fascination with the theater (I think I'm a closet actress...) If I had to choose just one place, wouldn't be easy.

I'm not sure right now. All I can think about is toting these youngin's around from place to place. It doesn't sound that romantic anymore.

Definately Egypt.
I've always felt an affinity for it and I'm pretty sure I was very happy there in a previous life.

Norway and Sweden, to visit relatives.  New Zealand to visit my penpal.  Naples, because my dad talked so much about Pompei, New England because I've never been there.  Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada to look for rocks.  Anywhere I would be allowed to dig up dinosaur bones.

Now that's just too hard to pick.

where would you go?
I guess I am happy being where I am and have no real desire to go anywhere except maybe England Or Sweden

For starters, Hawaii, Bali, and Java , for the surf.

Vietnam, so I can retrace my father's steps in '65-66.

Tuscany, pretty much for the rest of my life. Those people have the meaning of life down.

Spain, 'cause I never been there, but I kinda like the music...

Julia.

Queen V went to Hawaii years before I met her and loved it. Las Vegas is high on her list, along with whatever locale is featured on one of the travel channel shows. I've been to England. When I was a kid, one of my aunts took me. We were there the week before Prince Charles and Lady Diana got married. We spent a day in Paris. In the shadow of the Effiel tower, we bought some French fries from a street vendor. To this day, they were the best I've ever tasted.

I'm not too keen on the whole globe-trotting thing. Hell, there're places in Memphis I haven't been.

Julia...

These are my picks, in order:

Norway, the whole country

Iceland, my people discovered it.

Africa

Antartica, it's a fascinating place.

Austrailia, I'd like to spend a month in the outback.

Egypt, the pyramids.

Madagascar, they have some really unique animals.

Tobago, to watch the sea turtles hatch.

New Guinie (spelled wrong) I'd like to live with those natives for awhile.

The swiss alps.

Alaska, want to pan for gold on the beach.

Ireland and Scotland

The lost city of Atlantis...I know its out there.

---------------

Places I really don't care if I ever go:

England, not real fond of English stuff, plus there are too many people there.

France, (currently boycotting France)

Cuba

Canada, I've lived this long without seeing it and it is next door.

Paris - to see the architecture, drink beaujolais and cheese

Darn, my mind just thought of something unprintable in Spanish!
That sounds very similar.

with a name like Bella Coola, how could it not be fabulous? lol.

posted by Julia. on October 23, 2006 at 5:20 PM | link to this | reply

I've just added Bella Coola to my list, per Ginnieb's suggestion, Julia.
It's very close and it sounds delightful.

Mason, Ginnie, Saul, Blanche and Shelly,
thanks! Now I have even more places to add to my list!

New Zealand...

Bella Coola, Julia...
...it's in a remote area on the inlets of northern BC..a 16 hour ferry ride from Vancouver Island.  From a child I wanted to see Switzerland and it is absolutely beautiful.  Also would love to spend a lot of time in the Canadian Rockies.  Oh...Greenland too!

posted by ginnieb on October 23, 2006 at 4:16 PM | link to this | reply

Australia, Ireland, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Italy, Greece. There are so
many interesting places to go.  In the United States, the Grand Canyon area.  But if I had to choose just one place, it would be Australia.  Or Ireland.  They make good beer in both countries.

Julia, that's a tough call. I've already gotten a fair amount of wanderlust

out of my system: I've been to Alaska (Kenai Peninsula, fishing, Juneau, ferry down the Inland Passage back down to BC),  Yucatan Peninsula, Mesico, incluidng Cancun, an island off the coast, Isla de las Mujeres (magical), Paris, Amsterdam, London (twice), and Moscow, Russia and Tashkent Uabekistan on cultural exchanges. 

Of the places I'd still like to see:  Australia and New Zealand for sure, the west coast of Mexico (especially during the rainy winter months here), more of the US and Canada (of which I've made several trips to Vancouver and Victoria, since it's so closeby here), but in the US, I'd like to see East of the Rockies, since I haven't been back East except in 87 to New York and Washington DC on a tour wtih a group of Russian farmers, which was a hoot and a half.  (Nobody parties like the Estonians!). 

I'd like to see the South, the Carolinas, I've been to Florida, to Miami once but it's all touristy, I'd like to see more of the real countryside, more like Chapel Hill, NC where a few friends of mine went to school and I hear good things about. 

Also, Montreal for the jazz festival in the summer, possibly the Sundance Film Festival, (I've been to Utah once, it's spectacular scenery), maybe Taos, New Mexico, but I think my heart will always be at home in the Northwest, where I was born and raised. Something about these tall evergreen trees and the Pacific Ocean just keeps me here.

Well since I'm afraid to fly, I would have to go by boat, or train...
sooo...probably anywhere in Europe.  And everywhere in the U.S.

thanks Maggie!
that reminds me, I want to put Alaska's Denali park on the list too!

and France & Leichtenstein (spelling ?).

posted by MaggieMae on October 23, 2006 at 3:22 PM | link to this | reply

Australia or Hawaii would be my choices, Julia.  I've been to London, Paris, Germany, Austria, and Niagra Falls and I've been in most of the states.  Oh, and a cruise to Alaska would be nice.
