How about a hotel that you've never stayed at before but would really love to?

Everywhere on earth I haven't been yet & some places not on earth.
Although it doesn't sound it, quite a serious ambition on my part.

-Craig

My next big vacations are:
Naples, FL - Nov. 2004
San Francisco - Dec. 2004
Honduras & Roatan - Feb 2005

As for dream destinations, they include anyplace that I haven't been! Particularly, the Seychelles, South Africa, Peru, Galapagos and French Polynesia. My goal is to become a member of the Travelers' Century Club.

My Dream hotels are the Princeville Resort, the Bora Bora Nui Resort and any Four Seasons Resort.

1.) California -- LA and San Fran, Feb. 2005

2.) Hoping to get back to Hawaii soon -- we returned from our honeymoon last week and LOVED it! Going back is all I can think about

3.) Thinking about a European trip summer 2006, Ireland and maybe one other country

I guess I'm not as ambitious (or widely traveled) as many of you. A few places I haven't visited, but really want to see, are:

1) Niagara Falls
2) Atlantic City, NJ (I got within 20 miles once, but didn't make it to AC. Also, although I've seen the Atlantic, I've never gotten to "touch" it.)
3) Anywhere not connected by land to the U.S.
4) Somewhere in the Caribbean besides Cancun (if I can just decide where)

Adding to my previous post ...

After watching the Amazing Race last week, I want to go to Dubai!

Donna

Regarding hotels that I want to stay, I would love to stay at La Casa Que Canta in Zijuatenejo, Mexico.

Has anyone reading this stayed there?

dwooliff,
Dubai is excellent. The people are very friendly and classy. There is a super beach and a pretty good water park there along with some nice shopping (gold souk was delicious for the eyes and exhausting for the wallet) for metropolitan touring.
Some good day trips out into the desert as well.

FYI:
There is a flight that departs London and stops over in Dubai on its way to Singapore. You could include a few days in Dubai as part of a trip to south east Asia.

Has anyone ever seen the children's book, "Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World"? My basic goal is to visit every place mentioned in that book.

Stella - my list is too long! :) The short answer is "everywhere"!

But, places that are on my radar screen:

1) San Francisco/Arizona - Sept 2004
2) Quebec - winter carnival in Feb 2005
3) Australia and/or New Zealand - Fall 2005, I hope
4) Costa Rica - possibly late winter 2006
5) Croatia
6) Hungary/Poland/Slovakia
7) Hong Kong (I have a friend there for the next 2 years - free place to stay!)
8) New Orleans
9) Alaska

I want to visit all of South America (haven't been there yet); Asia; Africa...the list is endless.

Anywhere that I can see the Northern Lights! My problem is that they're best viewed wa-aa-aay up north, in the winter. I'm not fond of the cold. But I will brave it anyway - my sweetie says after we move to British Columbia next year, we could maybe do a weekend in Yellowknife or northern BC, so that I can fulfill this dream.

Iceland (maybe even this year!)
Capetown, South Africa
Melbourne & Sydney
New Zealand
Antartica
Croatia
St. Petersburg
Turkey

The question is, can I do all this before I have kids? Probably not.

meesthare,

We saw a terrific Northern Lights display from the UP of Michigan in late August several years ago. It was a rather "other worldly" kind of experience--absolutely beautiful!

We understood that such a show was not unheard of that time of year, so I'm guessing that British Columbia will certainly be a good place to see the aurora!

What a great thing to look forward to...

Hi Meesthare, just to let you know, we have seen spectacular displays of the Northern Lights in Central Alberta in Autumn while camping. I would think that in Central - Northern B.C. you should be able to get a great show around Sept-November. Just gotta be far enough away from city lights and happen to hit it on the right evening!

One time we were driving on a very isolated stretch of road, about 11:00 pm and we were so enchanted by the red and pink dancing Northern Lights that we missed hitting a moose by about 6 inches. Scared the bejesus out of us!

Oh, wow - now I'm even more excited at the possibility of seeing Aurora Borealis! We were watching a TV program the other night - it was a documentary about Japanese tourists going to Yellowknife in the dead of winter to see it; apparently there is a myth that children conceived under the Northern Lights will be especially blessed. The myth evidently became popularized in a "Northern Exposure" script and is now widely believed. As far as I'm concerned, if you can conceive children in that freezing weather, you're already doing pretty well... :">
