Eve,
When you’re ready to come out to the Midwest, let me know. There’s not a lot of populace, but there is a lot of very interesting history out here…(echoing fades)
Love to go to Ireland, Scotland, England, Israel…oh too many more. I’m envious of all you world travelers.
The only 2 that I still want to go to that I’ve never been are Niagra Falls and Hawaii. And I cna’t think of a single reason why for either one - just cuz.
The Hoover Dam, just outside Las Vegas. I’m only about a 4 hour drive away, but for some reason, I’ve never been there. Think I’ll go sometime this summer.
Hawaii. Particularly somewhere on the North Shore. Everyone is always talking about the size of the waves there. I wanna see what the all the hype is about.
South America - Argentina specifically, don’t know why.
The Carolinas - for some reason they always conjure up images of big shady trees, old-southern style houses and nice weather (except the hurricanes, obviously)
3.Iceland. Antarctica. (These seem to be surprisingly popular. Can we get a SDMB group discount?)
San Antonio. I have no idea why, either.
Vietnam.
Mongolia. This place just seems totally fascinating to me, like it’s the land that the world forgot. From the Mongol empire to being the second communist country on earth, it has all kinds of history that nobody ever thinks about. Mongolia seems to be just far out wacky and weird. Everything I’ve read about it confirms it. However, I did get a little worried when one guide book described the Mongolian diet as mutton. Not, “gee, they eat more mutton than most countries” or “their diet is based on mutton” but THATS ALL THAT THEY EAT. According to one book about Mongolia, everything smells like rancid mutton fat - public phones, bank notes, you name it. Granted, from what I understand, right now Mongolians would be happy to eat anything. (It’s been a brutal winter there and livestock is dying off). Still, I’m intrigued by this place.
For some reason, even as a little kid, I have never had any remote interest in going to Disneyland.
Most anywhere in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, but primarily (1) backpacking in the Alps and southern Germany and (2) major music spots, like Vienna and the various places JS Bach lived and worked
Ireland
Scotland
South Africa (no idea why)
Australia
Australia (everywhere - the outback, beaches, Sydney Opera House)
Ireland (beautiful countryside and perhaps I could find some information on my family history)
Alps
Andes
Bavaria
Prague
I’ve been to every region of the U.S. Don’t have a lot more to see here.

I’ve always wanted to drive through the Rocky Mountains. I did that last month. I heard that Snoqualmie Falls were really cool. Saw those last month too. I guess I’m pretty comfortable where I am right now. But I suppose a trip to Florida wouldn’t hurt. I guess I’d like to see New York City too. I can’t say I’ve ever had the desire to leave the US though. Never thought about it much. Except Italy. Anywhere in Italy. I’ll go someday.
