1) Peru--Macchu Picchu (but I would be a weiner and take the little train up instead of hiking... it takes THREE HOURS), Lima, etc.
2) India--I would probably do a coastal loop around so I could eat food from lots of different regions.
3) Guatemala--I've already been to El Salvador (and it was amazing... I would love to go back), and I think I am infatuated with Central America.

1. ITALY!! (I'm planning a week-2 week stay starting in Milan and traveling south throughout and ending up in Sicily...it'll be my grad present from the parents and godparents. :D)

2. Spain (I've already decided that my honeymoon will be spent here! The best of both worlds--beautiful beaches and amazing culture!)

3. Japan (It's gotta be crazy there, but I'd love to experience the culture!)

'Tis that time of year!

Yes til you get it. My bf and I got back from our SE Asian beach vacation two weeks ago. We are still peeling!

It seemed everyday we'd burn a new part of our bodies. .. and we really tried hard to be good with the sunscreen!

Got bored of Europe so..

On the top of my list right now is Japan.
India & China are next.
Third is Sri Lanka & Malaysia & Thailand.


I've already been to London x 2, Morocco, Disneyland Paris but not Paris or France itself since this was part of my trip to Belgium, Switzerland, Turkey, Brunei & Oman.

Aww, it's funny to see where you live as a place someone wants to visit!! But I love Canada too and would love to visit here, if I didn't already live here. It's weird to live in a tourist destination, you really just take everything for granted..

I agree with the sun, sand and HOT destinations... I miss the heat on my body! No burning for this girl though, I have the best sunscreen ever! And a really good self tanner which gives a better tan than the sun!

Mexico
Hawaii
California Coast - San Francisco, L.A. for sure! I've already planned by trip for Sept!

The Denali - Because I've always wanted to go to Alaska
Kenya - My grandma used to go every year and told us stories that always fired my imagination.
Hawaii - Well...the beaches are nice but really I want to hike in the jungle. Also they filmed Jurassic Park there...need I say more?

I love this topic :D I like travlleing. I've been to the Dominican Republic once, and wasn't a fan of it, and I've been to Jamaica 5 times.... I highly recommend you take a trip to Jamaica, for those of you who said Jamaica :) My favourite place on earth.
But I'd love to visit....

Hawaii

New York City (I only live like 6 hours away from it, but have never gone. I've always wanted to visit around Christmas time, it just seems magical. Maybe next Christmas. :))

Mexico

Lots of you said Japan... I want to go there too! But I didn't put it in my top 3 because I AM going there this summer. Right now I live 3 hours by boat from Japan, but it's very expensive to get there, at least $250. Instead of going for a weekend, I'll wait until I have more time off in the summer. I'm also hoping after my year in Korea that I can take a couple weeks and travel through China, Mongolia, and Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

That said, my Top 3 is my pipe dream list... as of press-time, going to those places is very far-fetched and likely won't happen in the next 3-5 years.

Luvja, yes, go to NYC! My favorite city on earth! It can be as cheap or expensive as you want it to be. People always think NYC is so expensive but it doesn't have to be. I think the only think astronomical is the rent (which is why I've never permanently lived there... though I lived in the burbs for a year).

I am hoping that DH will take orders to Belgium next. I think that would be awesome and easy to visit other countries from there too. We lived in Japan for 3 years and I LOVE it! I have never felt so safe in my adult life. Most of the people in our town were very friendly and patient. I had always wanted to go to England but I just went in October to visit a friend that lives there right now. I felt like I didn't see enough of it so I guess I do want to go back.

I'm hitting not one, but TWO of my list in October, for my birthday:

Greece (Both Athens because I'm a mythology buff and Santorini for the gorgeousness factor...and I'm going to BOTH)

Italy (will most likely be a couple days of the trip as well...)

Spain

Hey SwimGirl

I am in Richmond...and yeah it's nuts. My friend saw the whole kidnapping rescue thing go down yesterday! I don't know what is going on but there has been something like 16 shootings and the month isn't even over yet!

I was in Vancouver a couple weeks ago for the big skating competition that was going on and was kind of freaked out to hear about the shooting that took place right by the Hyatt, where everyone was staying. I guess the guy ran into the Hyatt lobby and everything before the cops grabbed him. Definitely scary!
