With all of these interesting places, it's too bad we couldn't have some international GTGs ,like maybe plan a different one, in a different country every 3 years and see who would/could show up. Buenos Aires would be one great GTG spot. And looking at this list, there's a multiple interest in Sri Lanka. Happy Travels!

2) Bhutan
3) India

Places I dream of, with no concrete plans:

1) Mongolia
2) Peru (Machu Picchu and an Amazon cruise)
3) Brazil(Pantanal)
4) Moorish Spain

This is great fun to read and ponder. My "A list" keeps changing as I read about and hear about other places. And many of them will need to wait until I retire and the economy improves (actually it may come in the other order ). I would have to say right now the 6 would be:

1. Antarctica (also my last continent - but I've also been fascinated by it since my parents went in '82)
2. Greece and the Greek Isles
3. Ireland, Wales and back to Scotland (to visit my "roots&quot
4. Machu Picchu
5. Vietnam
6. Moscow and St. Petersburg

rhkkmk - I didn't realize you were going to South Africa this year in addition to going to Argentina. Where are you planning to go there? We LOVED South Africa - so far that trip still rank #1.

JohnH

1. Tibet
2. Bhutan
3. Burma
3. Egypt
5. Macchu Picchu
6. South Africa

BabsB

So many places, so little time, so little money. My top 6 are:
1. Peru including the Amazon in 2010 - in the planning stages.
2. Egypt - wishful thinking, wish there wasn't a war next door.
3. Greece - island hopping and scuba diving
4. Scandinavia - during the summer.
5. To see the animal migration in Africa whereever it's good. Already been to South Africa on safari.
6. Vietnam

Hum, Croatia and Bhutan sound interesting...

quimbymoy

it's a big world out there! crossing off bangkok, siem reap & luang prabang (leaving saturday!) so here's my list:

1. south africa (planning stages for a 2010 trip to cape town, vic falls, botswana & namibia sand dunes)
2. antarctica
3. iceland
4. egypt
5. india
6. venice (or really, anywhere in italy)

Jaya

Aside from choosing must see places, wouldn't it be incredible to just magically know the language of those places to get an even more in-depth experience!!!

Just to be able to chat it up with the locals would add so much dimension to a trip. Oh well, so much for wishful thinking. I'll keep working on my list anyhow!

Guenmai

Yes, language does add a very different dimension to the experience. I've done it, with local languages, for decades. Happy Travels!

I quite like travelling to places when festivals are on so I'd love to do:
1. The Ice Festival in Sapporo, Japan;
2. Timkat or Meskal in Ethiopia;
3. Syria, Lebanon and Jordan;
4. Cuba;
5. Oman in luxury (have to wait till I am a millionaire to do this one!)
6. Rail to Tibet.

I've done the Naadam Festival in Mongolia, which I adored; Carnival in Trinidad, which I didn't think was so flash; the Calgary Stampede and the quirky Naga Fireballs in Thailand - though didn't see any fireballs...
