1 - Israel (never been there yet!)
2 - New Zealand
3 - Antarctica
4 - Kenya/Tanzania (Maasai Mara wildebeest migration)
5 - Banff/Jasper
6 - Maldives or Bora Bora
7 - St. Lucia (Jade Mountain Resort)
8 - Patagonia
9 - Cross-country RV trip
10 - Palau
Making some changes based on recent research and trip reports.
#5 - Norway > Banff. As far as I can tell, there's isn't anyhthing in Banff that can't be had in Norway, only better and more awesome. Plus Norway has the fjords, the islands, and the ocean (and polar bears, in Svalbard).
#6 - Scenery and activities is more important to me than better snorkeling. If I travel to the other end of the owrld for snorkeling, I may as well go to the very best (see #9), and do BOB over MLE for now.
#9 - The more I look into it, the more I want to bump an RV trip off the top 10 and replace it with the GBR. So I did just that
.
So, in no particular order:
1 - Israel (never been there yet!)
2 - New Zealand
3 - Antarctica
4 - Kenya/Tanzania (Maasai Mara wildebeest migration)
5 - Norway
6 - Bora Bora
7 - St. Lucia (Jade Mountain Resort)
8 - Patagonia
9 - Great Barrier Reef
10 - Palau
Also: Flying WRY-PPW, the shortest scheduled commercial flight in the world at
all of 47 seconds.
And Ni'ihau, Molokai, and Kahoolawe would round out my Hawaiian island collection nicely.
