What is the place you would like to visit most and why?
 
South of France countryside in the summer. Imagine the outside cafes, small family run restaurants. Green grass and no dust.
Have to polish up on my French as although English is taught in all schools you will never find a local that knows a word of English unless you know some French.
 
the holy place that Padre Pio stayed. I think it's in Italy if I'm not mistaken
 
I would love to visit the area around Tours, France. My great-great grandmother (possibly one more "great" on top of that...) came to New Orleans from there in the early 1800s. It would not be that far from Normandy, which wifey would love to see. Her dad was there on June 6, 1944, in the 3rd wave of soldiers to hit Omaha Beach. It would be a moving experience for her, too.
 
My place would be Melbourne, Australia. I want to go see a game of Aussie Rules Football at the MCG. And see some other sights as well. :)

A good game I would love to see is St. Kilda vs. Collingwood (I'd be rooting for St. Kilda).

How did you get involved with Aussie Rules :confused: bit far from home or this this espn at work?
 
NYC, I love CSI NY and every time I see it I think "I've got to visit that city", so, we're making plans for next years visit to Toronto to be via NYC - Hooray!!
 
St Petersburg and the Great Wall of China.


oops thats 2.

Drop us a line, if you make it down here, we are only five or six stops on the tram from the 'G :D
 
I love Ireland but I have been there several times so I don't think a return would qualify for this thread. So I will say Scotland. My next goal is to see Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Hebrides and walk the West Highland Way, climbing Ben Lomond along the way.

There's plenty to do/see in Edinburgh (the Festive City) :

Of all of the places we haven't been able to visit due to my wife's illness Machu Pichu (ah! the spelling doesn't look right) tops my list.

As far as returns are concerned I think the Dam on the Yangtse now that its finished and take the boat lift.

I'd really like to go to North America, never been and I think it's an incredibly diverse place with lot's of amazing things to see. For example

Niagra falls
Mount st helens
Yellowstone park
The grand canyon
Vegas
Ground zero

Maybe one day I will get to go :)

Ha! I think its funny that though you say "North America" all the places you listed are in the USA..... So you have effectively left out Canada, unless you visit the Canadian side of Niagra Falls.... :D

Lol I dunno, never been there :D
 
I've always wanted to go to that place where they get greeted by topless locals in "Mutiny on the Bounty"

I live about a 90 minute drive from Mount St Helens and watched the eruption live from my car. Totally awesome. Have been to all the places you mentioned except Ground Zero. But I did go to the top of the World Trade towers when they were still standing. I love my country and yes, it is definitely a wonderful place to visit. Three lifetimes would not be enough to see it all.
