I'll start. The idea is you name the place and a fellow MNer has to say if they've been there. However, you don't have to wait until you've been somewhere to post. Post your places and you'll meet the MNers who've been there. You can post 1-3 places (random numbers).

I've been to:

Rwanda
The Whisundays
Cathedral Grove (Vancouver Island)

I don't think I've seen any of the places I visited in Alaska yet.

So I'll go for my 3 as:
Juneau, Alaska
The ruined town of Treadwell, Alaska
Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska

There are a few other places there and I bet someone has been to Juneau but that's where I spent most of my time. My plane stopped in Ketchikan on the way there and Sitka on the way back but I didn't get out the plane so I don't know if that counts. Sitka's runway is quite something though. You drop down between the mountains and just get closer and closer to the sea and the first thing you really know about there being a runway there is when the plane touches it.

Haven’t read the whole thread, but I’m another one who’s been to Syria. Didn’t make it to Palmyra, sadly - I got ill and had to come home. “Oh well,” I thought. “I can come back and see it another time”. 😰

May I offer:
Ghardaia - Algeria
Ceuta - weird Spanish enclave in Morocco.
