2. Uganda/Tanzania going in 2015
3. Turkey
4. China
5. Ethiopia
6. Poland
Places I been to that I have especially loved are Egypt and Algeria.
I also want to go to Europe but am saving that for when I am too old and decrepit to go to less developed countries.

My list of what I want to see, but have not yet seen gets longer as I get older.
-My next couple of trips will be to:
Guatemala (leaving in 2 weeks)
Croatia
South Africa
Machu Pichu
Iguassu Falls
My favorite places I have been to are:
Turkey
Nepal
The Middle East-Egypt, Jordan and Israel
Thailand-the country, not just Bangkok
Italy-Venice is great, but there are so many other interesting and scenic places to see, and the food is wonderful.
So much to see, so little time to see it.

Ah, my list just keeps getting longer the more I travel...
In no particular order, it'd be
Chile
Australia (possibly 2010)
Nicaragua
Croatia
Syria
Jordan
And for those of you with Peru on the list: go, go, go. It's one of my favorite places in the world. (Iceland is one of the others. Go figure.)

AND THE WINNER IS....
As it is a slow day at work, I have compiled a list of the most popular "must see" places as voted for in this post.(minimum of 3 votes)
To be true to the title of the post, I have only included the first 6 mentioned in each post and have not included the second mentioned place in multi-destination listings ie..India/Sri-Lanka or Austalia/New Zealand.
Here go's..
With 3 votes each..
Greece(inc 1 vote for the Islands)
Sri-Lanka
Costa Rica
Nepal
Brazil
With 4 votes each...
Bali
Argentina
New Zealand(inc 1 vote specifically for the south island)
Tibet
St Petersburg
Syria
Turkey
Antartica
African Safari (there were also several votes for various African countries that a safari would be one of the main reasons to go there inc Tanzania(2 votes) but I choose not to include these in the overall total. If I had included these the total could jump to as much as 9 votes)
With 5 votes.
Croatia
Machu Picchu (another contentious one as these are stand alone votes and there were an additional 7 votes for Peru. I have counted Peru as 12 in total but as there were so many votes for MP as a stand alone desination,it is also included in it's own right)
With 6 votes...
Australia (this total includes 1 vote for Uluru and another for the Melbourne cup in Melbourne, and , as of the last time I checked they were a part of Australia, I have included them. Also, if I hadn't, Australia would be on the same voting line as New Zealand, and we cant have that can we)
Russia (this includes the 4 for St Petersburg and 2 for Moscow)
With 7 votes...
Bhutan
With 8 votes...
South Africa (included a vote for Cape Town)
On 9 votes...
Vietnam
China (includes a few "Great Wall" and "Silk road" votes but does not include any votes for Tibet...I hope this post will not be censored)
With 11 Votes...
India
With 12 votes..
Peru (including the 5 for Machu Picchu)
And the winner on 13 votes including 1 vote specifically for the Pyramids is........
Egypt.
I apologise for any counting inaccuracies and all the extra votes that have been cast since I surveyed this post but the line had to be drawn somewhere. Hopefully someone out there may find this of interest.

It's heartening to see so many votes for Bhutan and India, as I'm hopefully visiting both this year!
Other places on my personal "must see" list.
Sao Tome e Principe - this tiny country sounds beautiful, yet many people haven't heard of it and it gets very few tourists.
Easter Island - I have to see this!
Any pacific island paradise with white sand beaches, palm trees and thatched huts.
Namibia - especially the stunning dunes at Sossusvlei.
Iceland
Greenland
Places that have already wowed me:
Venice
Morocco (hard to choose just one place in this fascinating country).
