Alaska - always wanted to see it. We're doing a cruise with my parents, siblings and their families for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary next year.
Norway - I'm half Norwegian and wanted to go there for a long time, although I don't know if it will happen in the next 5 yrs, maybe just a trip with DH when the kids are grown
London & Paris - DH and I have been to both but would like to take the kids as an easy first introduction to international travel. The kids are taking French in school so that adds to the appeal of going to Paris.

we went with a five year old last summer and had a great time. We stayed at basic accommodations in the park and did 3-5 mile hikes. Our five year old had a great time (but obv won't remember it as well as vacations he takes when older).

Zion/Utah within the next few years

Prague within the next 7 years

Thailand and Vietnam within 10 years.


I have been to 2 of the 4 places you mention (Zion and Vietnam). Both are great and your list is awesome. I am trying to get to Thailand this year!

This is basically my list too. Plus Scotland, Galapagos.

Want to take the kids back to Greece and Italy soon.

Maybe Hawaii, BVI, Costa Rica too.

Haven't decided next five years yet.

I'm saving up to take 6 months (or more) off and travel. I want to:

Hike the northern route of the El Camino de Santiago in Spain

Hike the last 100 km of the via francegina in Italy and visit Rome and Pompeii

Visit Athens and maybe a Greek Island, haven't researched Greece too much yet.

Visit Paris and Sur la Glane in France

Bike around the Island of Gotland in Sweden, something I promised myself I'd do as an adult when I was a 16 yr old exchange student visiting the island 25 yrs ago

Spend a good amount of time in the UK, hiking part of the South West Coast path, the Cotswold Way, and the John Muir Way as well as other stuff.

I'd also like to visit South America; spend some time in Peru or Chile, and visit the Amazon Rainforest. I'd also like to do some volunteer work but I'm not having a lot of luck finding programs that need my skillset and also take people who aren't fluent in Spanish and haven't lived in a developing nation before. So, I may just visit, rent a little apartment near a beach for a month and contemplate what I want to do next with life.

In the short term, I'm visiting NYC for my birthday in June and plan to climb to the Statue of Liberty crown, see a game at Yankee Stadium (!!) and see a British cabaret singer I like.

How do you take 6 months off from work?

Just a guess, they are planning to leave their current job and find a new one after the travel?
