Here is the Top 10 list of places we want to visit in the future!
10. Alaska
Amazing Scenery!
Amazing Wildlife!
We hope to drive our motorhome to Alaska. (maybe this summer!)
9. Norway
Fjords and Seaside Villages
Aurora Borealis – The Northern Lights are great from Norway!
We’ll need a boat or a plane to get us here!
8. Easter Island
Mysterious giant statues and extremely remote! Two thumbs up!
7. Antartica
One of only two continents left to set foot on!
Penguins and sea ice await. But brave heavy seas you must!
6. Bora Bora
We’ve had this one on the list for 20 years!
Stay right over the water! Wow!
5. The Great Wall of China
Some things you just have to see in person. This is one for us.
We’ve been to Hong Kong, which is an incredible stop in China.
4. Africa
Amazing and Incredible Wildlife!
I can’t wait to see a baby elephant! Africa is the other continent we have yet to see!
3. The Amazon
We want to see wild macaws!
And go deep into the wildest jungle!
2. Iguazu Falls
This is a close race for number one!
Adjoining three countries, this is one of the most spectacular sites in the world!
And the Grand Finale!
#1 Place we want to visit is:
Machu Picchu
Hopefully we can get there while still able to walk up the Inca Trail!
Truth be told, ten is way to short of a list. That’s why we have this:
This is something you can pick up and flip through anytime. Especially if you’re like we are and are hooked on travel! I was going to put a link to it on Amazon, but they don’t have it…go figure!
Thanks to Julia for hosting Hooked on Fridays, go check it out to see what other bloggers out there are hooked on!
So, two questions:
1. Have any of you ever been to any of these places?
2. Where is the number one place YOU would want to go? (or 10..)
While you have certainly been to more places than I have, I HAVE been to Africa. I saw Elephants – – – was chased by a big “scary” one while riding in the back of a teeny tiny Peugeot.
I thought for a minute your picture was of Victoria Falls – – – I did get to enjoy that one live and in person on my Africa trip.

Oh, yes. You have to go to Alaska! It is fabulous! I used to live there, and I still miss it almost every day. The drive from the lower 48 is totally worth it. Gorgeous scenery. Just make sure to go through BC on the drive, not Saskatchewan (no offense to anyone reading who may be from Saskatchewan….). If you are able, stop in Kewlowna, BC for a few days on your way up to Alaska. It is very much worth the stop.
As for places I want to go: China, a tropical island somewhere, and New Zealand. I don’t think it’ll happen any time soon, but one day on the new earth I’m gonna be one globe trotting saint!
Rachel’s last blog post..10 Minute Makeover
Sigh. Have been to none of these places … but they are all on my list, too!
LexyB’s last blog post..Quote of the week
Wow…what amazing pictures. I have never been to any of the locations on your list but they are all beautiful! My niece’s husband went to Alaska last summer for 2 weeks of fishing and hunting and the pictures and stories he brought back were amazing….certainly a must see. When you go I want to see lots of pictures!
Mary Beth’s last blog post..Decorative Diffuser-Homemade & Inexpensive
My father travels to Norway quite a bit and he always talks about how gorgeous it is over there.
Sadly, I have not been to any of these places. I’ve been to London a couple of times and it’s one of my favorite cities to visit. And I’d love to go to Ireland someday.
Fun post, Kim! Thanks! 🙂

pedaling’s last blog post..Goals, Determination, Hard Work & Persistence
After reading your post, I want to go on an exotic vacation. I’d probably choose a European city though. I spent a weekend in Paris years ago, but I sure wouldn’t mind seeing it again! ~Arleen
Arleen @ Seasons for All at Home’s last blog post..Inspiration ~ Decorating with Blue and White
Wow. Great spots. And I thought I was well traveled but I have only been in one of the places on your list -The Great Wall of China. It’s surreal in a way…., overall I didn’t like China so much though.
Oh, you and I want to go and visit so many of the same places! Easter Island, the Amazon, and especially Peru … sigh, they all look so wonderful!
Troischats’s last blog post..Falling into Love at Home
I was with you all the way until you mentioned the Amazon…..and not the .com one………I would like to go someday to Scotland and Ireland…closer to home….Alaska would be a good photo op….
I have to say, I haven’t been to Machu Pichu but Iguacu Falls is the most AWESOME thing you will ever see in your life! It is just overwhelming to stand on the platform that is built right so that you can walk to the very edge of the falls and look over…….be still my heart 🙂
Make sure you take a speed boat up the river to the mouth of the falls where they drop you off and you CLIMB up the cliff to the top. Not for the faint of heart.

Those pictures make me want to buy the book, but I’m not a big traveler LOL I really want to go to Ireland though and on the QE2 please 😉

I’ve been to the Amazon in ’04! It was a crazy adventure!! One of my best friends currently lives in Africa as a missionary in TZ so I’m hoping to get there!! The Great Wall is also on my list as a must see!! Thanks for sharing!

Angela’s last blog post..Hooked on: Cooking
I vote for #6 (Bora Bora), but then again you probably knew I would say that! Sounds like we are all dreaming of getting away this time of year! 🙂
Susan’s last blog post..Summer Dreaming
Love these fabulous photos! Great choices for sure.
My #1 place to visit was Paris. I made it there several years ago, secretly worried I’d be disappointed, that it could never live up to my expectations. But no, it was MORE than I could have dreamed. That’s the best type of travel. Now I just want to go back!
Gigi’s last blog post..Scrabble: Not Just For Game Night
I’ve never been to any of those places, my parents went to Alaska years ago. I dream of commandeering a little RV type vehicle and just living on the road for a while, seeing the sights. I dont think my hubby is as thrilled at the notion but bless his heart, he goes along with just about anything I want to do! I would go just about anywhere though~I love seeing and being in new places!
Those places all look so beautiful!

Hey, you forgot to add Charlotte, NC on the list.
NASCAR!
The Nester’s last blog post..10 Minutes to a Room You Love:: Finale
That is an admirable list – love it! I have not visited any of your top ten – but would love to see them all. My DH and I L-O-V-E to travel and do so as often as time & $ allows… however we have yet to leave the continental U.S. We are always dreaming of Scotland & Ireland….
Kristen’s last blog post..Decorating my office…
Wow…what an amazing collection of images. I have not been to any of these places…the seaside village in Norway looks amazing to me! I would love to see Prince Edward Island and Marthas Vineyard…those two places are right at the top of my list.
Christy’s last blog post..My Sweet Childhood Days…
I have never been to any of those places but they all look and sound amazing. My dad is Japanese so my #1 place to visit is Japan. If I never make it anywhere else, I will make it to Japan!!!! (But I’m only 25 so I still have lots of time!)
Becca’s last blog post..American Idol
Wow – you’re pretty adventurous aren’t you! That’s awesome. I’m more of a B&B or Marriott girl myself :). This makes me want to do some research and come up with my own list, though.
Hey, your hubby left a message about my kitchen that cracked me up. Apparently you’ll have a new glass dish soap bottle now and he’s a little bummed about that. Ha! Men….
AnNicole@OurSuburbanCottage’s last blog post..KITCHEN PART DEUX
That is a great list!! I love to travel, but I’ve still not been to any of those on your list yet – one day eh? 🙂
Liz@VioletPosy’s last blog post..Bouquet of the Week…
Quite ambitious of a travel plan, but one I would love to do! Hope you obtain your dreams….
suzy homemaker’s last blog post..Crazy How I Can Be Hooked On These…..
Couple of these are on my list as well 🙂 Is it sad that under my “travel wish list” that my #12 is Go To Superbowl? That’s kind of a destination…
I bet you and your family will visit these places and share WONDERFUL adventures with the rest of us! Just promise to take lots of pictures.

Katherine’s last blog post..Spinach Amore and an Award!
you sure dream big!
mr. right and i want to go to the grand tetons out west. 🙂
#1 on my list was seeing a game at Yankee stadium (did that this past spring, he proposed two days before)
and #2 was see brett favre play for the green bay packers at lambeu field. i did that in 2006 with my dad. guess i need to update my list!
Brooke’s last blog post..Learning to accept Mr. Right’s first love…
Wow! What an amazing list. Alaska was top on my list to visit, but after your list, I don’t know….
Steph’s last blog post..Hooked on Bead Board
We’ve been to Iquacu Falls twice! (We lived in the Brazilian state of Parana for a while.) Make sure you go in the wet season to really get the effect. I’ve also been to Alaska (by small plane so we could visit lots of places) and Africa (Tanzanian safari).
I don’t know how you narrowed it down to 10! I have mental lists in several categories (by car, w/kids, w/o kids…) But I’ve been dreaming often of a trip to Molokai (in Hawaii) to see the tallest sea cliffs in the world and look for humpback whales.
kerri d’s last blog post..Benefit in Boise
I haven’t been to any, but I totally want to do a major road trip and hit all 50 states one day.
And I want to go to Uganda in the worst way! Our church missionaries are very involved with projects there, including in an orphanage and I sooo want to go!
🙂
What divine and inspirational photos! It’s a lovely change to see a list of favourite destinations that’s a bit out of the ordinary – you’ve got me thinking!

Meredith’s last blog post..Paper Chase
I have not been to any of those places, but they would all be on my list too, especially after seeing the amazing pictures you posted of them! Sigh, I guess when I feel sad that my little ones are growing up too fast I can look at the bright side that maybe as they get older it will be easier for us to travel!
It Feels Like Chaos’s last blog post..They Grow Up Too Fast
Some very interesting places you’d like to see! I choose Bora Bora… GORGEOUS!

You have a great Top Ten List. All look like wonderful places to visit.
Those all look like fabulous places to visit!
My more immediate list is a tad tamer-
NYC, again- this time with the girls
Washington DC
Italy
Greece
Ireland
Kind of cliche, but still…
gina’s last blog post..perfect pancakes
I want to go to all of those!!
I gravitate toward the warm, sunny places though. 😉 Not a fan of cold.
PamperingBeki’s last blog post..What is it?
Now I really want to go on a vacation–somewhere warm, right now. Those places all look so fabulous. Too bad we’re poor from still diapering two kids. It’s called fear of the potty-training.
aubrey’s last blog post..Bedheaded Randomness
Waow! What a great list! My number 1 destination would be French Polynesia (Tahiti), not really for the destination itself but because my brother lives there and I miss him so much! He lives in front of the island of Bora Bora, lucky him has a nice view of it from his terrace!
Number 2 is Nepal, Number 3 is Washington DC, and so on and on… 😉
Elodie’s last blog post..Easy yummy very french lemon tart (tarte au citron)
Made your Southwestern Soup from a couple Tasty Tuesdays ago– it’s AMAZING! We’re supposed to be saving it to eat all week but I don’t know how long it will last… 🙂
Sarah’s last blog post..Three Dinner Friday: Southwestern Soup, Lasagna, and Goop!
Thank you for the vacation! I am not a traveler by any means but I sure enjoy seeing others pictures! I would love to visit Australia, Ireland and France!
Stefanie’s last blog post..Hooked on Fridays and…BIRDS!
I love top 10 lists! Although I’ve actually traveled to Europe and even South America, the only place on your list that I’ve visited is Norway! But let me tell you, it’s a great place to go. We took the train from Oslo to Bergen and it was so picturesque. I was oohing and ahhing all the way. We even went further north past Trondheim and visited the little town of Sumstad where my father’s parents grew up.
I follow a blog called http://mylittlenorway.com. This couple lives near the north pole and writes about life there. They have great photos too.
Debbie’s last blog post..Fitness Friday ~ Go Red for Women
Number one place is probably hard to choose, but I would have to say Australia outback to see a Kangaroo in the wild. I have wanted to do this since I was 10 years old.
We now have family in Australia and are hoping to make this come true next year.

From the looks of these photos, I want to go to! What a great list.
I have only been to Alaska (from the places on your list) but I would love to go to Bora Bora and swim with the turtles (I did a post on that once!)
Amazing places in the world!
