Oxford England to see where CS Lewis n JRR Tolkien taught and created their worlds, Narnia and Middle Earth. I would also go to the Bird and Baby pub and drink a pint and see where they sat around with the Inklings talking about literature and reading their works. THAT is where I want to go.
AND New Zeeland where they filmed Lord of the Rings and the Narnia movies…yes, I’m a geek.

Inuvik, Northwest Territories.
Also, Vladivostok, Russia.
A little bit less, Chile.
And Peru. Macchu Picchu.
Kamchatka would be rad for the natural hotsprings.
Lake Tana, Ethiopia, for the Ark history. And the culture.
Ah. So many places.

oh, you have to get to NYC for at least 2 days. The energy of the city is amazing.
I’ve always wanted to go to Egypt, though I’d probably be miserable once I got there.
Portland…yeah, I want to go to Portland and have a coffee with Donnie Miller at Powell’s.

this may not count, but a couple of years ago Kate and I went to Italy. We spent 2 1/2 hours in Rome (for various reasons we couldn’t stay longer). I really want to go back. I feel that even though I saw the Colosseum, I didn’t really see Rome.
Does that count?
if not, Ireland

San Francisco. I think I could easily spend a week eating Sourdough bread and Ghirardelli chocolate and touring Alcatraz.
I felt the same way about NYC, and I went about three years ago. I was misty-eyed seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time, even though I saw it from about 1.5 miles away across the river.
Thanks for resurrecting my travel bug.

Okay I totally want to go to New York. Seriously. When I was a senior in high school, I was accepted to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. Too bad 9/11 happened and my parents absolutey did not feel comfortable sending me far away for school. So needless to say I have the itch to check out the city. I am not a city girl by any means, so I probably would have hated living there. But I gotta check out Broadway, Serendipity and FAO Schwartz!

I’ve never been to Boston in the Fall … ok, sorry for the lame VeggieTales reference!
But seriously, I’ve been to 43 states in my 28 years … the ones I haven’t been to are Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Alaska, Hawai, Wyoming, and South Dakota. So I’d like to make it to 50.
I’d also like to visit England and Ireland … and southern Africa. Those places would be way cool to visit.

Since I was a kid I have wanted to go to Switzerland. That dream came true several years back. So really, I guess the only place left that I really want to go is either:
1) Dubai
2) New York
3) Israel

Ha — this is funny. Where I HAVE been is Lima, Cuzco, Macchu Picchu, the northern Andes mountains, the Amazon Rainforest, New York, Connecticut, China, Hong Kong, India, Australia, London, California, Texas, the Bahamas, and pretty much every southern state in the USA. Where I have NOT been? The town of Laffayette, Louisiana — 1 hour from where I was born. And I REALLY want to go there, but I just haven’t done it.

You haven’t lived until you have been to Baghdad. I guess somewhere in Europe. My wife and I are planning on going to Spain for our 10th anniversary so that would be nice.
Btw Anne, New York is freaking ridiculous. If the opportunity arose Callie and I would probably move there in a second.

New York is amazing. You and Your hubby must go sometime. If your a city lover, NYC will not disappoint your expectations. There is no other city like it. My sister lives there so I’ve had the privilege of visiting the city a few times.
I am a travel lover…so many places I want to go. Rome is at the top of my list because I’m dying to see the Sistene Chapel and visit the Vatican. I would also love to go to South Africa or anywhere in Africa…I must take a sarfari before I die!!

I would say Ireland, just to jump on the bandwagon as it seems everyone wants to go there… but I’m not gonna say Ireland, because I am from Northern Ireland… and currently live in Belfast…
The first 3 places that come to mind are…
1. Israel/Syria/Lebanon - the middle east region
2. Chernobyl
3. Tokyo

I’ve never been to NY either, though my husband and I have talked about going for the past 4 years. I would really like to go during the Christmas season and walk around the streets of NYC, even though I don’t do well with cold weather.
Among other places I’d like to visit, such as Hawaii and Greece, the theme revolves around places with very good food.

Those are my 2 Tops places to go. It is my goal to go to at least one of those in 2009.

It all sounds so exotic. Not to mention the food… a combination of Middle Eastern, Mediterannean and North African. Yummy!

I’ve been to a million different places, but I usually only see the inside of a venue and then we’re gone the next day. It’s very rare that we actually get to enjoy the sights.
I would like to go back to New York, London, Seattle and hang out for longer periods of time.
One place where we’ve spent a lot of time is San Diego. I love it there!
