My top three "Never Been But Hope to Go":

Location (Timeshare)

Fiji (Worldmark)

Aruba (Costa Linda or Playa Linda)

Portugal (Jardim do Vau)
 
Except Fiji which I don't know nothing, the other 2 are not difficult to trade into.

Mine are:

1. Urban resorts in Argentina and Brazil;

2. US Virgin Islands;

3. Japan.
 
My three are:
Four Seasons Guanacaste in Costa Rica,

Manteo Beach Resort in Kelowna, BC Canada

Four Seasons Aviara

sigh!
 
Three that I would like to visit are:

Japan (Our son is leaving in the fall to teach ESL there for a year)

Hawaii

Australia
 
Only two I can think of at this time. Over the last few years we've been able to go to a lot of the places we had always wanted to see. Still on our list are

Hawaii

Australia

I suppose I should add China as I'd love to see and walk on the great wall but, it's not really a "must see" place on my list. Same with the Pyramids in Egypt. I don't relish the idea of walking around a country as a target since America is not so well liked in much of that part of the world.
 
Machu Picchu
The Maldives
St. Petersburg

No timeshares anywhere near any of them.
 
I thought I read there is a timeshare or 2 not too far from Macchu Picchu. Am I dreaming?
 
Australia
Virgin Islands
Scotland (And I'm going this summer!!!) :cheer:
 
My three are:

Australia
Paris
Italy

Hawaii use to be on the list, but thankfully, we've fulfilled that one. Thus far, Hawaii is still my favorite place to be.
 
Oh dear .... can I list four?

Germany
Australia
France
Japan

Sheila
 
NO! You cannot list four. You have to take one of your list. NOW!

My top four are...

1. Tanzania
2. Brazil
3. The outback (listing all of Australia seems a bit unfair)
4. [Tut, tut, tut]

[Oh, by the way... :) ]

When I was in my late teens, I booked a trip for myself and my Daddy to Brazil. He had always wanted to go and I was working with few expenses, so I decided to take him. Alas, he chickened out on me and the trip got cancelled.

He loved to fly in little planes. He had friends that landed in pasture fields and flew with them at every opportunity, but the thought of getting in a big jet scared him senseless. He never did get there.

He did some time overseas in the military, but I don't recall ever asking him how he was transported to there. Now, 18 years after his death, I wish I had ask him this and a lot of other things.

Oh, no, not St. Petersburg !

Before you decide to risk your life and spend your money in St. Petersburg's shady oligarkh-operated clubs make sure that you have some friendly and trustworthy contacts in Putin's old KGB establishment which continues to run the city like they used to in the old Brezhnev-Andropov times. :eek:

Kola
 
Alaska
Brazil
The Caribbean

I'm open to recommendations in all three places.

I hope you meant this as a joke. My relatives (who live in Finland) and I certainly don't have any problems visiting Russia, and would not want to discourage anyone from visiting there.
 
Philippines(my wifes homeland)/especially Boracay

Europe, I guess I'm at the age where I'd like to do one of those 13 countries in 7 days bus tours! :eek: :D

An African Safari, and of course I want it to be one of those luxury ones!
 
I'm easy...

Guess I'm happy here in the US of A - my wishes are pretty simple. I've been to France, Germany... would maybe like to see Italy and Greece but other than that...

1. Four Seasons Aviara
2. Houses at Summer Bay (going next Xmas)
3. Harborside

Hard to fit anything in right now, but maybe someday...

Shoot .... I forgot Alaska. Can I change my four to five Roger? :doh:

I visited my 49th state last June. One more to go.

Sheila
 
Patagonia

Vietnam- well, I was there once for a while....

African safari

Egypt

I've always considered my ultimate road trip to me one lap around the Mediterranean from Portugal through Spain, France, Italy, the former Yugoslavia, Turkey, Greece, Iran, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and finishing up in Morocco. I know I've missed a couple, and not necessarily gotten them in proper order, but you get the idea. At my age, and in view of the current world political reality, I'm resigned that it isn't gonna happen, but it would be a wonderful trip! So far we've done 6 of these countries, including camping with Bedoins in the Sahara.

Sorry, guess I got a little away from the OP

Darn. I forgot about Switzerland too!

Wouldn't mind adding Norway, Sweden and Finland.

I'm going to die of old age before I get all these checked off my list!
