    I love to travel and would enjoy visiting pretty much every country. I will also need to go back and visit some that I have visisted before as well.

    Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, China - These are top on my list.

    India, Egypt, Czech Republic, Sweden, Scotland, Kenya - are next on my list.

    I would also love to go back to Spain, France, England, Germany, and Italy.

    France is probably my favorite place I've been, and I loved Spain and spent the most time there.

    I wanna go back to China for a month or two, specifically my village. The food there is amazing, everything tastes so much better than here.

    I just came back from a big trip but considering its below 0 fahrenheit here I could handle another one.

    Here's the countries I would like to see that I haven't been to:
    India
    Cambodia
    Ireland - I want to sing Irish Rebel tunes in the place where they were written
    Scotland - I want sing Irish Rebel tunes in a place where they are still popular
    Brazil
    Australia
    New Zealand
    Dubai - I've been considering looking for work there and Doha
    Suriname
    Holland
    Iraq - Maybe not anytime soon.
    South Africa
    Botswana
    Israel
    Greece - I want to see the land that created V-Span. ;)

    Here are the countries I've been too that I would like to go back to
    Sri Lanka
    Thailand
    PRC
    Japan
    Indonesia
    Lebanon
    Singapore - Hey Univac Hal Singapore doesn't look like a very popular choice.
    Hong Kong
    Canada

    This is only a short list and I'm always interested in seeing new places so given the opportunity I think I would be willing to visit any country.

    there are no toilet facilities issues to worry about...mainly because we don't have toilets or even an outhouse. it's a big pit with a pigpen built over it. You go and do your business, and then it's used as fertilizer.

    I like your list, Jackie. I've been most everywhere else. I would add China to the list. I've been to Hong Kong, but that's not the same, and it was a Crown Colony at the time. I think I'd be happy with flying over the South Pole, however!

    Someone should start a thread on counrties they have been and don't recommend/didn't like going. Might be interesting.

    I would like to go to:

    Switzerland (watch Federer play in his home country in Basel)
    Botswana/South Africa (my girl is from that area)
    Australia/New Zealand (have always wanted to go/ go on the Lord of the Rings tour)
    Hawaii (beach, Tropical drink, lei, and fresh exotic fruit)

    ive been to mexico about 8 times, but i still havent been to chiapas yet. id also love to go back to zacatecas, real de catorce and las pozas (probably my single favorite place ever).

    went to amsterdam and berlin last year, but i would like to go to southern germany/switzerland and back to amsterdam.

    japan - my bandmates used to live there and speak japanese. we are going to try to actually book shows there soon and make a vacation out of it.

    india - my grandmother is from bangalore, but i would also love to see the himalayas.

    australia - i have family in perth and sydney so i have places to stay. when its as far away as that though, its easier said than done.

    The funny thing is... that place does seem like a different country. ;) j/k

    Been to Mexico. Wife's been to France...

    Don't care to go any place else until we've been to both of those together first.

    I wouldn't turn down a free trip, but it definitely wouldn't be near the top of my list.

    I forgot to add Libya to my list of countries I would like to visit. They recently have opened up for tourism, and have Roman Ruins there in excellent condition that haven't been trampeled by tourist feet yet.

    I would love to go there and check out some of those sites.
