Must see places to visit (Bucket List)

I thought I'd start a thread about places that are 'must see' sometime in one's life.

I remember a National Geographic write up on Son Doong Cave.  It was astonishing.  I would like to see it in person.

If you can afford to go to Europe, you must go to Rome First:




A small city, a beautiful city, an unbelievably historic city. 

And the food is the best in the world.

If you have kidlets, The City Museum in St Louis is terrific!  As is the Magic House.
The Annhueser-Busch brewery tour, Grant's Farm, the St Louis Zoo and the Science Center are all free.  The Science Center does have certain things that require an additional fee (like the planetarium).  The Arch is nifty if you've never been there before, and the Cahokia Indian Mounds are really something.

I've seen Crater Lake, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and the Pacific Ocean.

Still on the bucket list: The Mississippi River, New Orleans, and the Dakota Badlands.

Iceland.
That's a cool picture. I've seen the northern lights once, but being so far south it wasn't very impressive.

My erstwhile convalescence and recovery will be made complete when I once more look upon the Chinese Wall, deep in the Bob Marshall Wilderness... A week or two, getting there and back backpacking...

There's a particular look-out as you round a bend on the White River Trail that is simply awesome. All of a sudden, there it is.

Me too. It was about 10 years ago, New Years Day evening. Me and the girlfriend at the time were coming back from northern to southern Iowa.

Saw them the whole way down. They were amazing, but I want to see them like THAT.

May I recommend Neuschwanstein Castle?

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Two places for sure are on my bucket list -  Cooperstown, New York and the Baseball Hall of Fame,  and the island of Islay, home of the best Scotch whiskies in the world.

The Dakota badlands are a must-see.  Absolutely breathtaking, like the surface of some bizarre moon.

I have a major travel bucket list. I used to travel a lot. When I was in High School I spent a year in Japan. Then I traveled often for work around the US and world, but didn't have the money to really enjoy it.  Now that I have the money to travel not for work, I don't have the time.

By the time I have the time again, I'm sure I'll be broke.  :shrug:

I just have learned to enjoy and explore where ever I am, the best I can, even if it is podunkville.

That's my problem - I have the money to travel, but not the time.   I haven't taken a vacation longer than an extended weekend in three years.   But I did cross one thing off the bucket list last year - a game at Wrigley Field.

Oh, please do come see the North Dakota Badlands.  Medora is one of my favorite places and not overrun with tourists.

On your way over to the Dakotas, Swing on up here like you were going to Glacier Nat'l Park (kinda my back yard)...
Let me know ahead of time and I'll rustle up some horses and take you where the tourists never go...

I'd love to see Glacier National Park. Might be a while, but I'll keep your offer in mind.

At my job, I'm up to six weeks of vacation per year, but I usually roll over 3. When I take a vacation, it is to keep working with people not thinking I'm available so I can get more done.

I'm about to do a cross-country road trip in a couple of weeks to go close out some of my grandfather's estate. It will be the longest I haven't had a work computer in front of me in years (of course, I'll have my work phone and tablet).

No matter, friend... There's always sweet tea in the fridge and an extra chair on the porch...

(Except right about now... I'll be off to hunting camp soon - Though I'd bet you'd be at home there anyway...)

Someday I'll have the time.
