Your 5 places in the world you want to travel and why?
 

I am planning on visiting 5 countries in the second half of 2005, i dont want the do a trip where i just go somewhere and sit in an hotel..

I was thinking of the Amazon rainforest trip.. any more ideas? where do u want to go?

I really have to go to the barbershop soon.

To be serious, Mauritius kicks ass. And visit us in Amsterdam!

Palau is on my list to go for sure.

Im soon going to Egypt to check pyramids, thats something im really looking forward to.

Ive been to a shitload of countries and Brazil was one of best trips ive had. Im going back there for sure. Been in Thailand about 15 times...really nice as well.

Italy, Ibiza, Bahamas, Germany, and Thailand.

France and Italy, I am going next week. Argentina, China and Great Britain. Not sure when but within a year or two. Careful of hte Amazon, it is pretty rough in places but Rio is fantastic.

Germany??

Greece and Egypt are top on my list. To visit historical sites.

I am going to Portugal for a road trip :thumbsup

Japan, Hawaii, Italy, Brazil and Australia.

BTW... You can come and visit us in Panama. Is a Great country!! Sun and beaches 365 days of the year :thumbsup

Jamaica - sun
Hawaii - sun
Africa - roots of mankind
Brazil - I saw mikeinbrazil :D
Italy - skiing

egypt
australia
england (stonehenge)
ancient mayan ruins
hong kong

going to those 5 in a matter of 2 years
Australia
Brazil
Japan
China (mainly hong-kong)
South Africa

been to tons of countries already...but it's never enough

Paris
Italy
England
Greece
Hong Kong

Australia and Hong Kong

and the rest

If you haven't been, you should check out Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It is an amazing experience and awesome historical sites there that I imagine for most people who visit, is way more memorable than the pyramids in Egypt or Mayan and Inca ruins in Central/South America.

It is relatively easy to get there now via land route from Thailand (they finally paved a road the whole way), and there is an airport in the nearby town (Siem Reap). I took the route through the Mekong Delta river in Vietnam to the new border and then to the capital and then river boat to Sien Reap, which is a great way to see the country.

berlin
paris
hong kong
new york
cape town

those should be fun...

Well right now we're still working on seeing the entire US. So the first 5 places HERE that I'd like to go are:
Chicago
Washington DC
New York City
Los Angeles
Boston

I thought Australia was beautiful until I visited South Africa.

Dubai
Australia
South Africa
Beirut
Cairo

UK, Germany, Italy, Greece, France

Italy, Hawaii, Bali, the Carribean, throughout Europe in general

I am always dreaming of trips I will take. I would like to go away for about 8 weeks at a time. Here are some I am considering:

1) Laos/Southern China/Northern Vietnam

2) Uruguay/Bolivia/Paraguay/Argentina

3) Canoe the Nahanni River in Canadian Artic or Tashenatshi that flows into Alaska.

4) Sailing in the South Pacific.

5) Japan/Korea

Spain
NY

Japan = Very different culture, and I find the weird little fellows most intresting. My #1 place to go.

New zealand = Haven't been there, and it's as far away on this planet I can get from home. My mom lived there for a few years on a lamb farm when she was younger and talked about it. I wanna see.

Australia = Must...visit...all..continents

Las Vegas = I wanna see the mecca of capitalist pigs.

Some small caribbean island for relaxing. I've been to Cayman and st.Kitts, but I want to go again.

England
Australia
Japan
Ireland
Scotland
Colombia
Cuba

:pimp

Oh yeah, and I plan to take a roadtrip across north america at some point. I've driven thru europe enough times, but I'll need to do that again though.

Have the ragheads stopped killing each other enough so people can actually go enjoy that city yet? Seems all I heard on the news over the last 30-odd years was "...yesterday's bombing in Beirut" or "fighting broke out in Beirut..." etc.


I've always wanted to visit Greece and the Greek Islands.
Italy has always held an appeal for me as well, especially Venice and Rome.
Australia & New Zealand -- just always wanted to go there.
Netherlands -- I know people there, would love to visit.
S. Africa -- after hearing stories from my dad about his days during WW II in the merchant navy and his time spent in Capetown I'd have to say this region holds much appeal for me as well.

You would definitely be one fucker I'd love to go visit and take a road trip through Europe with.

But if that ever happened, EU would never be the same.

If you go to Greece don't forget the islands of Corfu and Crete. They are amazing. I don't think anyone said Switzerland and it is well worth a visit. So are Fiji, Tenerife and the south of Portugal. :2 cents:

They've fucking ruined Beirut from what I hear. Plus all the shit thats going on now, I doubt I'd be able to get back.

If you go anywhere in the world, you've got to see Cape Town. I just got back from my holiday there two weeks ago. The country is so beautiful and Cape Town will keep you entertained for weeks on end. Theres so much to do and see and relax with.

So...

1st is Egypt :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh I like this place - hot, mysterious.... and smth else :winkwink:

2nd is Sidney, Australia - cool waves for surfing! Splashhhhhhh!

3rd is Crimea - it's somewhere in Eastern Europe, the Black Sea as far as I remember... I've heard they found some pyramids there! Besides my friend showed me some pictures - cool nature there!

4th is Moscow! Yes! You've heard it right! The capital of communism! One should fight his fears! :1orglaugh

5th is Miami - I just want to live there! :thumbsup

With regard to the Middle East, back in the early 90's I heard about something called "The holy-land tour", which took you all through the region from the Red to the Dead, the pyramids, Sphynx, several historic cities etc, 3 weeks in total..... but because of the locals and their utter inability to get along peacefully for any length of time, who the hell would ever want to take such a tour? Those people, in my opinion, have ruined that region for the rest of the world, and there are many many people who would love to visit there but stay away because of the fighting and the bombings and the killings and the bullshit.

Capetown -- Absolutely. I recently saw a picture taken from.. what's it called?... "Tabletop mountain"?... not sure, but a guy was sitting on the edge of a high cliff which literally overlooked the city from the height of the clouds. It was an incredible shot.

the only 2 places i have not been and want to go

1. australia
2. alaska

both because they look so beautiful

Hmmm, I want to go to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.... been to Europe and loved it. Want to go backa again.

I know you said countries.... but I said continents instead. Sorry :)

Austrailia
Ireland
Italy
Paris
Bali

can we give a few more reasons why?

Shanghai
Los Angeles
Berlin
Hong Kong
Bangkok

Japan - Games/Culture/Women
Holland - Trance
Australia - Sun
Hawaii - Waves
Colorado [Again] - Skiing

Hawaii during the winter big wave months. Stay for a few months. I just have to see this big big big wave surfing at Waimea in person.

Eqypt. I'm with Colin on the historical exploration trip. Just want to avoid guys in bandanas and automatic weapons which there is too much of in the middle east for my taste right now.

Amsterdam. Just so I can drop a bag of pot on the ground in front of a cop, pick it up and then ask him directions to the whore houses.

Alaska. Im thinking of taking an extended cruise/land tour when my kids get old enough to take it in and not be bored. They are 2 and 4 right now so I have a wait.

Kenya. I would love to take an authentic African Safari before mankind fucks it all up and your only choice is a virtual reality machine or a mocked up zoo. Im not the biggest fan of sweating in the sun so maybe I will bump this choice down and move up my 6-10 which would be

6. Hong kong/China (shopping, sites and history)
7. New Zealand (make like Frodo and go hiking to Mt Doom)
8. Italy (food/wine, history and ambience)
9. Japan (history/track some of my ancestry and visit Disney Sea in Tokyo)
10. Fiji

Greece is on my top of the list
Italy
France
Brazil
Monacco
I wish I could go to all soon, when I'm still young.

no one wants to come to Canada? We've got a bit of everything up here, our immigration doors have been open for quite some time. Come and get a full U.N experience up here.

Yup. Table Mountain. Raises 3000ft out from in the middle out the city. They've got a cable way that goes from the base to the top. Spectacular views all the way to Cape Point from the top. Heres a pic I took of it from the Ferry going out to Robben Island (the prison where Mandela was held).
