To ask what your bucket list destinations are?

[muminhants1]

Places you've not been before - anywhere in the world? Singapore was at the top of my list, but I went in 2009. Choose 3.

Vancouver

Trieste in Italy.

The Orkney Islands.

Iceland - cant believe there are so many others
Scandinavia - fjords etc
Dolomites -Italy

Others - new england in the autumn. Maine/east coast of America. A cruise around some fancy islands. Hopefully going to Azores soon.

Is it cheating to say round the world ticket.

My elusive three are
Iran
Bolivia
Mongolia

My life goal is 100 countries by the time I am 50. I'm 41 and on 90, so there is hope!

India, South Africa and rat island

Canada
New Zealand
Japan
Barcelona
Western Isles

Too late for Aleppo and Damascus, which were on the list
More of India
Iran (but not currently)
Lindisfarne
Vietnam

The Maldives
Iceland
A round the World cruise (as I can't only pick 3 )

New York City
New Zealand
Kilimonjaro

I want to see as much as possible but I really would love to visit -

California
The Caribbean
Mexico

So far I've ticked off -

Australia (QLD, ACT, NSW, SA)
Hong Kong
Abu Dhabi
New York
Spain
Portugal
Greece
Germany
Holland

Sierra Leone
Belize
Cuba

Not like to go to any of them cos DP thinks they aren't safe!

Vietnam
Canada
Berlin

OP I studied in Trieste, it really is beautiful! My top three are:

Cook Islands
Bali
Madagascar

Antarctica
Japan (booked for 40th and had to cancel as by then was 6 months pregnant)
Belize

Cuba
Laos
Bolivia

And for everyone who has 'Japan in cherry blossom season' on their lists, I cannot recommend it enough. It was mindblowing and I am now an obsessive sakura spotter.

Vix - we went to Syria in 07. Loved it. Aleppo, Damascus, Palmyra. What's become of them is beyond criminal.

Amelia Cuba is absolutely safe! I travelled solo there 3 times already, had an amazing time. The people are wonderful. So is the culture and music.

get there before the yanks descend en masse

I'd say the same for Jamaica as an amazing place... (been 12x, also solo).

3 more on my bucket list:
Ethiopia
Florence
Colombia

Japan in cherry blossom season

USA (at least New York, Boston, LA I think, preferably some smallish towns too)

Not sure about the third. Somewhere exotic like Bali or Zanzibar since people are talking about the latter being great. Or maybe somewhere rather northern in Norway or Finland or Sweden or something. I've been to Oslo and was unimpressed but I would love to see some actual fjords some time. Maybe I should go and see some in Denmark, since I live here. Far too flat for me here though.

Beijing, Taj Mahal, Uluru, Cape Town, Angel Falls, all very boring but I want to see them.

Prague again.

Oh and a cruise in North Norwegian waters to see the Midnight Sun. And the train across the USA one way (westward) then go to Canada and take it back to the East Coast.

Isthatcorrect, I have visited Rajastan. Please travel to Jaiselmer when you are there. It was magical. Charmed me far more than Udaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaipur. Note it and make the effort when you are there.

Lovely ideas !

To all who mentioned Iceland definitely do it and go sooner rather than later - tourism is booming year on year- We went ... Shock....7yrs ago as our " big family adventure" before they rated leaving home and it was absolutely fabulous - the tourist free west fjords over the even then a bit touristy golden triangle though.

We are going back and across the centre of the Islam by bus maybe next summer ..

Andrewofgg my DPs have just done the boat past the Arctic Circle and seen the midnight sun - that was definitely on my mum's bucket list. I think I can safely say they'd recommend it!

Ooh, let me think..

New York
Alaska
Malaysia

Would have had florida on there but we are doing that in august ????

Florida Keys
Bruges
Amsterdam
Australia
Vienna
Salzburg
Switzerland
Las Vegas

Alaska
Tokyo
Maldives - although I have been to other so called paradise destinations e.g Bahamas and they have not been all that!
Vancouver and Toronto
California.

My current list:
Croatia - Dubrovnik and Islands
Amalfi Coast
Japan
Maldives
Barcelona
Venice
South Africa
Safari
San Franciso
Cruise with lots of city stops to combine the hectic with the relaxation (although have never been on a cruise so might not be like that!)
