Middle-East (Egypt, Jordan, Israel)

New Zealand (just too far)

Argentina, Pategonia, Brazil (not since Covid)

Also Peru due to high altitude. Doctors orders not to travel there for both of us.

I doubt I will ever go to Egypt. Although it was not really on my bucket list.

I think Japan would be at the top for a country I have never been to. .

But more of Mexico is far more likely.

baldone I am surprised you have not been to the Yucatan. There is a lot to explore there.

Japan was one of favorite trips. Try to see it mlgb.
Now we are at the state of returning to favorite places. Italy is always first, but Asia looms large too.

Mlgb, our experience with the Yucatan Peninsula is/was limited to Isla Mujeres, Holbox, and very briefly Tulum & PDC. Back before we moved to Mexico. But i want to tour the gulf area from Veracruz up to Merida and points in between.

Australia and New Zealand. Just too long of a flight. DS was there for over a year and I never did go to visit, so that ship has sailed.

Yo PG, We are exactly the same--too long a flight. We have good friends who moved there years ago, but it'd involve 4 flights to go see them now.
I am done. the ageing

I've always wanted to see the Great Wall of China. But until China improves its air quality, I don't think my lungs can handle it.

Germany (Can't go due to covid) I was planning to go their in December but the way covid situation is i guess i have to plan it for the next year.

India. There is a lot of human history, and a lot of cultural beauty there ....

Iran. Every since I read "Daugher of Persia" by Sattareh Farman Farmaian back in the early 2000s, I've wanted to go. Would love to visit Afghanistan as well... However, neither looks likely any time soon.

Just an update from my August 2021 posts above.
Almost exactly a year later and YES we're going to Israel for the last two weeks of October!
Hope you all get your wished-for trips too!

I am SO glad your trip is still on. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'm sure some things have changed since we took the trip though.

great news goddess! Have missed you in the lounge. Enjoy Israel.

To answer the original question, I think I probably am feeling too old and used to a cushy life to head to India although I always expected to get there.

I do think I'll get to Japan one of these days.

Agree that Australia and New Zealand are too, too far but thankfully I did get there back in 2014. I'm so glad my husband pushed me to go with him.

Thank you!
This will be our first time travelling with a tour group and I hope I like it because it was so wonderfully easy to plan. If it's good, I'd be happy to travel that way from now on.

Are you still going with Tauck? If so, I hope they haven't changed much of the tour.

No, the tour is being run by the the Baltimore Zionist District (we don't have to leave from Baltimore; we still fly from and to Toronto) but the actual tour itself is from a company called Isramisrael. A friend of mine went on a tour of theirs with a NY group and she raved about it.

"To answer the original question, I think I probably am feeling too old and used to a cushy life to head to India although I always expected to get there."
gruezi, a friend of mine and her husband went to Morocco last year and did the whole thing with a private tour guide. They're planning on doing India the same way this year. It's very expensive (too expensive for me!) but it makes the trip much easier. Or what about a tour group in India similar to the one I'm taking in Israel.

goddesstogo, I had you confused with girlonthego who is scheduled for a trip to Israel with Tauck.

Oh, that's a coincidence! I remembered someone (probably you) suggesting Tauck on my earlier post about tour companies. I'm going to see if I can find girlonthego's posts. If we're there at the same time maybe we can meet up for a mini gtg!
(But are you sure it wasn't me?)

She is going Oct. 16-Oct 31.
