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.
