Great place.

Tell your kids to be careful with the happy pizza though...

Obviously can't do it all, but I'd like to do at least 3 in the next five years. Especially, before we're bound by school holiday schedules.


Done most of these, and I found NOLA overrated and Greece underrated. The Cycladic Islands are otherworldly.

Didn't do the Albuquerque Festival, but I have ridden in a balloon. Scary as hell but awesome - do it!



Yes, riding in a hot air balloon was definitely a bucket list item for me. But when we were up in the air, I was silently freaking out every time I looked down. Of course, looking across the horizon was totally incredible.

If you have any desire to go in a balloon, definitely do it! [

Been there, done that. Prague was a waste of time.


What is NOT to love about Prague??

Martinique is on my list - home of Franz Fanon - as well as Guadeloupe. I have too many places I want to visit.

That word makes me laugh, too.

Ditto prague. Been there 3 times. Go to Burma, [b]Thailand is just full of tourists.


There are areas that are less touristy, you just have to know where to go. I love Thailand, been there many times.

Kind of a big country.

+3 home of George Orwell. Would like to see the former British colony.


Did you mean Burma? Because Thailand was never colonized. In fact, it is the only country in SEA that wasn't.


Not the PP but yes, that poster was talking about Burma, as was a previous poster up thread. Check out the first bolded sentence.

I have always been obsessed with islands. I would love to visit St Helena and Ascension Island, as well as Ile de la reunion in the Indian Ocean.

My parents lived in Zambia and travelled all over Africa. Would love to visit. Glacier NP is one of my favs. Been to Crete, would love to hike Macchu Piccu. Of course Galapagos, and Chili would be cool, esp Valparaiso. I would love to go back to London.
