My Travel Wishlist

The other day I was looking on the internet for plane tickets for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas. I was also procrastinating, trying to avoid having to clean my bathroom. During all this, I got to thinking about traveling, and the trips planned for this year, and all of the places I would like to someday go. So I made a mental list of places I'd like to see before I'd die, and came up with the forty or so places listed below. This probably isn't an inclusive list; I know I'm leaving something off. I probably won't make it to every place on the list, but God willing I'll make it to most of them. They are arranged semigeographically, for your convenience.

North America
1. Yosemite National Park
2. Mount Rushmore
3. Key West, Florida
4. Alaska (especially Denali, the Dalton Highway north of Fairbanks, and the Alaska Highway in from Western Canada)
5. The Yukon and the Northwest Territories
6. Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (Cape Breton Highlands National Park is supposed to be beautiful)
7. Victoria Island
8. The bottom of the Grand Canyon (also like to raft the Colorado River)
9. Northern Minnesota and upper Michigan (shoreline of Lake Superior is supposed to be spectacular)
10. Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island
11. Baja California
12. Zion/Bryce Canyon National Parks in Utah

South America
1. The Panama Canal
2. Rio de Janeiro
3. The Amazon rainforest
4. Buenos Aires
5. Chile (especially the southern part of Patagonia)

Europe
1. Scandinavia
2. Finland
3. Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia
4. Madrid, Spain
5. Sicily
6. Ireland
7. Scotland
8. Croatia
9. Sardinia
10. The Greek Isles

Africa/The Middle East
1. Morocco
2. South Africa
3. Egypt
4. Israel/Jerusalem
5. Istanbul (not Constantinople)
6. Dubai
7. Any place with a safari
8. Any place with wild monkeys

Asia/The Pacific
1. The Great Wall of China
2. Hawaii
3. Australia
4. New Zealand

i loved Key West! and definitely drive the 2-lane highway in the middle of the ocean!

i've always wanted to see the Big Ditch, but i've heard it's kind of a letdown. if you don't get there, check out the IMAX at Fernbank museum in the ATL!

I'm guessing the Big Ditch is the Grand Canyon. It isn't a letdown at all, its very, um, grand. I just haven't been to the bottom, only the rim.
