Oh, well we'll have a bit of a crossover then!
Would you be able to give me a link to one of her posts? I've done a search but didn't come up with anything.

I can't find any of her posts about Israel. If you want to pm her, just go to your pm's and send one to her name.

Thanks, schmerl. I'll do that!

It would be amazing if you could actually meet in Israel!

Hi GontheG,
That would be so much fun! I'm going to PM you as soon as I can, probably tomorrow night.

Hi schmerl,
Just updating to let you know that gonthg and I have been in touch and are going to try to get together sometime, someplace in Israel.
Thanks for the assist!

Uzbekistan. Stunning Silk Road sites of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. Lush Fergana valley.

Modern Spanish-manufactured Afrosiyob trains traveling up to 250km/h. Good food, fabulous fruits and vegetables. Friendly people.

Safe with the special tourist police everywhere. Their job is to protect you also from scams.

our experience below. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, girlonthego and I never managed to meet up. I think our tours kept us pretty busy but I like to think that somewhere, sometime, we were in the same place!
DK2022, we haven't been to Uzbekistan but coincidentally our last group dinner in Israel was in an Uzbeki restaurant called Samarkand!

Yes, girlonthego messaged me to let me know the you didn't meet up.

The place I've wanted to visit, and was scheduled to visit before covid cancelled it, is Russia. I certainly won't be going there at any point of my life now.

We went to Russia in 2003 and are glad we did that trip although I have no desire to return there.

I'm very glad I was able to make it to Uzbekistan before ill-health slowed me down, but this thread is about places you have NOT (yet) visited.

I was there in 2004, taking the Trans-Mongolian route in autumn, and have wanted to go back and ride the Trans-Siberian in winter, but as you say, no desire to return now. Just as I have no desire to return to China, although I loved my three trips there, and am iffy about India.

Brazil - I am sitting here @ 05;30 am watching a Simon Reeve documentary on Brazil. Amazing! We have spent probably a couple of years travelling around South America on various trip and only set foot in Brazil briefly at Fox de Iguazu to see the falls. Most definitely on our list for when we get around to travelling again.
