Title: Where do you want to go?
Post by: Latrobe on June 04, 2008, 04:19:10 PM: If you had the time to go anywhere on the Earth for any amount of time, then where would it be? I, personally, would LOVE to go to Finland! I've always wanted to see a Nightwish concert live in Helsinki. If I'm lucky enough, maybe even see them AND Sonata Arctica Live there too!! :rock

So, where would you like to visit?

Post by: Ripsnort on June 04, 2008, 04:35:10 PM: Great topic.

When I retire, Greece (particularly the islands), Italy, Fiji Islands, Austrailia, in that order.

as far as weird stuff I'd like to see Siberia.

Post by: ChickenHawk on June 04, 2008, 06:00:15 PM: My favorite place on earth that I been so far is the Yucatan peninsula. Tops even Oahu and Hawaii in my book.

The places I would most like to see now are Australia and Europe. An extensive castle tour would take the cake.

As far as places I've been and want to go back to, Croatia would be on the top of that list, with Tunesia coming in a close second.

Understandable - America is a huge country and has so much to see. That said, if you never go abroad you'll miss out on so much (and perpetuate the stereo-type of Americans knowing nothing of the world beyond their borders).

I've traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America and been to bits of Africa. Sailing the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia and skiing in the Alps are two experiences everyone should have before they die. Cape Town is also well worth a visit - a truly spectacular setting for a city.

I want to check out South America next and then the far east - Japan especially. I suppose I'll end up in Australia and New Zealand at some point, but they're not super high on my list - I'm sure they are amazing places, but I'm kind of done with 'western' countries for now. I want to experience some alternative cultures first.
