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.

I've not been to the Isles of Scilly since I was 12! That said, I've been to the Channel Islands a few times and Herm has a very similar feel.

I'm going to cheat and add some more destinations to my original three:

Turin
Kaliningrad (used to be Koenigsberg in East Prussia, nicked by Russia after WW2)
The Aland islands

I just googled the meteora as never heard of it and now want to go. My list is getting longer and longer

Really there's nowhere in the world I don't want to go! I mean I'm not desperate to go to Bilbao above all others, but I'd go if it was on offer!

I'd love to have gone to Syria and all of that part of the middle East, probably won't get the chance now - I have been to Jordan which was
wonderful.

Russia - would love to go, Mr Flighty has been three times so it's probably off our joint holiday list.

China - I'd love to see some of it at least, but wouldn't consider actually going until matters are resolved in favour of the Tibetans.

The Meteora is amazing, I went on a little coach trip during a 2-week beach package about 15 or so years ago, it really is stunning.

muminhants1 - another Herm fan here! Went every year as a child and revisited this year for nostalgia's sake.

My absolute favourite place on earth.

And I say that as someone who was worked extensively around the world and travelled to over 65 countries.

You can't beat it!!

"I've been blessed with having travelled wildly"

Bsshbosh I did a bit of that in my youth too

Bhutan

Norway

Japan

Places I have been to that I want to take the DC to one day:

Bolivia
Peru
Australia
Vancouver/Banff/Jasper but an extended trip, with an Alaskan cruise thrown in (not done that)
Nepal
India (again, an extended trip and see more than the touristy triangle we did).

Assuming there were teleporters:

• Japan
• Iceland
• Outer Hebrides

Been fortunate enough to visit lots of places - the one I would love to return to is the Maldives.

I have this great idea of travelling from the UK down to Southern Spain, across to Tangier and drive through Africa to Cape Town. DH is convinced that I wouldn't get to the end alive - but would be a great trip!

aj I did something similar except at the time there was civil unrest in Chad so we flew over that bit. It was amazing and a real adventure.

You need a land rover with a roof tent. They are the dogs bollocks

What a lovely thread

I'd love to go to Rio, to see the Carnival

Venice - legend has it my great great great great great grandfather was born there

And I love skiing, but only been once so would like to go back to Courchevel then to other great resorts

New York, Miami and Las Vegas
Canada
Japan

actually too many to list. but it's more like a wish list, not a bucket list

So downgraded - did you see loads of snakes - that's the only thing that worries me! It must have been amazing

Mauritius and Burma are the first two that spring to mind.

Australia
Rio
And the absolute wild card......Everest base camp! Am obsessed by books about Everest but would get a nose bleed climbing the stairs!! It's daft as I'd really love to see Everest itself-and you can't do that from base camp-but just to be there, to "feel" her presence, to tell the sherpas how amazing they are-especially the Ice Doctors who I idolise through books!! It'll never happen-and I can take comfort in knowing that I won't have added to the rubbish tip that it's become!!

aj no I don't remember seeing any snakes at all actually!

Lots of wild animals though and lots of camel spiders

Australia for the animals and Great Barrier Reef.
Egypt for the history and Red Sea snorkelling.
British Columbia for bear and whale watching

(And Iceland for the Northern lights. I'm 50 this year and hope that DH has taken the hint!)

When I next have enough time for a good stint I want to go back to Chile then on to Easter Island, fiji and New Zealand.

Cuba
Paris
Somewhere I'm more or less guaranteed to see the Northern Lights

Forgot New York with a side trip to Pittsburgh thrown in to visit the Andy Warhol museum.

turdfairynomore - I have the same obsession with K2!

Also, Antartica & South pole
Ushuaia
Alaska
Siberia
Appalachia
Montana/Wyoming
Chile & Peru!

Heidiland on the Swiss alps
Arctic to view the aurora borealis
Orlando Disneyworld
Serengeti Safari
