Well, I wouldn't want to overdo it, you know.

Oh, that's a tough question for me to answer. Travel, especially international travel is my very favorite thing to do. My off the top of my head answer is every single one except those that are dangerous and in the Middle East, but that isn't possible or realistic. So this is my list:
Italy, France, Germany (been there many times but would still like to go back), Austria (been there once with my German grandmother), Belgium (been there once but only for a quick day trip, want to spend a lot more time here), Croatia (yes, have seen photos and it looks gorgeous!), Greece, Denmark, Finland, Iceland (DH wants to go here), Ireland, Scotland and England, Poland and the Netherlands (actually going in May to these two), Sweden and Switzerland. That takes care of Europe. Although I may have forgotten a few.
Defiantly Australia, Fiji, Bora-Bora, Bali, Galapagos Islands, the Maldives, the Seychelle Islands, Palawan Island Philippines, the Cook Islands, and all of the Caribbean Islands including St. John USVI which we've been to twice and I absolutely adore. I'd like to include Hawaii which I've never been to but don't know if that qualifies. Oh except Jamaica. I've been there once and have no wish to return.
Japan is a must. I've been there twice but love it so much I'd like to live there for a year. I'd also like to add Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Vietnam and Myanmar which is the former Burma. I'd also like to add the island of Borneo because that is where orangutans live in the wild.
Africa. I would really love to visit Africa especially to see the animals in the wild. I'd love to go on a trip to see the mountain gorillas in the wild with National Geographic. Sadly I don't know enough about Africa to know which countries I'd like to visit. I'd have to do some research on that.
South America doesn't really interest me. I have no idea why, it just doesn't. I think I have enough on my list to keep me busy for quite awhile though and I'd better win the lottery to make this possible however my motto is "never say never". The islands can be done via a sailboat and that's my dream for my future anyway. I've had that dream since I was 18.

I have an 4 week Italy trip all planned out. We were supposed to go a few years ago but with my in-laws health, we have put it off. In 2014 we went on a month's trip to Scotland, and Ireland with a couple days in each of England and Scotland. We had been to the southern part of England in 2003. We loved it all and would like to go back. In fact, one of my thoughts is when we retire in a few years, we should sell our house and move to England for as long as we are allowed and visit there and take small trips to other parts of Europe.
Denmark is also on the list as that is where my paternal grandparents are from. My older son visited it a couple of years ago. And Germany where my in-laws are from (near Heidelberg).
My husband and I are very much into European history so that is where our focus is.

I can't decide which I'd like to visit most, so I have two, Israel to see the Holy Land and Nepal. There's a hike you can take to the Base Camp #1 of Mount Everest. I think it would be amazing to experience that. I'm overweight and out of shape, so I need to get myself in shape before I go! LOL!

Cuba - just waiting for a good price I used to say Iceland, but my neighbor is there right now and every time she posts pics to Facebook it's all dark and uninteresting. Ummm, hello. It's January. It's pretty much dark all the time in Iceland this time of year. That's why most people visit in the summer. Did you and your friend seriously not know that?

I've wanted to go to Australia since I can remember. I've added Scotland to my list (hoping to meet a Highlander in a kilt hehehe). Of course to see the scenery too.

umm Europe - all of it. I have been to Italy once in 2006 and loved it. I knew at some time I would get to visit Italy, but had no idea how bad I would want to go back! DH has no desire to travel outside of US - I will get back there at some point, I just feel it in my heart.

It's pretty much dark all the time in Iceland this time of year. That's why most people visit in the summer. Did you and your friend seriously not know that? Ummmm, hello just because Iceland doesn't have many hours of daylight doesn't mean the sun doesn't shine. You know that right? I don't live as far north as Iceland but it still shines all day, 5 to 6 days a week, even when it's -40. I know people who have lived in Nunavut which is as far north as Iceland, and the sun shines for their short days also. It's like all day golden hour. Maybe annabella friend just had bad luck and is there during a gloomy week. Today's sunrise is 10:31am and sunset is 4:50 pm that's 6h 18 mins of daylight in Reykjavik, so it's not like they have 5 minutes of day daylight. Did you seriously think they had total darkness all day long, even in January?
