Where is the best place to visit in the world?

[dawson9b7b]

I am looking for a list of the best places to visit in the world for adventure. Any ideas?

Retired? or Aged over 40? Looking for the perfect traveling companions?

[ryder]

I'm not over 40, nor am I looking for the perfect travel companion, but here are a few things I'd like to try out before kicking the bucket. It's doubtful I'll get many of them, but it's good to dream:

1. Nepal/Tibet
2. Running of the Bulls
3. Amazon in Brazil
4. See the Great Barrier Reef before it's gone
5. Drink a beer in the middle of the night with my sunglasses on and a bottle of sunscreen in Norway, Sweden, or Finland.
6. Travel through all 50 states in one go
7. Thermal pool in Iceland (with a beer in the middle of the night in broad daylight)
8. Drive in India (okay...maybe not so much, but it'd definitely be an adventure)

Everyone else feel free to throw in some more!

Why not have a look at some of the webcams on the net, these little devices give you a flavour of the country before you even go. Personally l'm off to madrid this month and l've been looking at webcams from all over the city.

good question. I am going to be different, and suggest killarney in the southern part of ireland. Guaranteed to rain, but this encourages the wonderful atmosphere. check out the images on google. get a ferry across with some affliate like directferries, aferry.to, or go direct with op, and relax! it is a lovely experience and not many people think to do this anymore. hope this is of help.

I would say Lofoten in the north of norway. The steep mountains and the sea. It really doesn't get more beautiful than that.

I must say you visit Greece! Why Greece? Because they are:

Best people
Best food
Best historical sights
Best drink
Best beaches
Best access
Best choice of islands

Let me know what you think?

Stopped in Spain once and did'nt realize that the running of the bulls was at hand,wish I had gone! We had stopped over on our way back from the first gulf war and I really enjoyed it. Great People(:

my back garden, bring a fork and spade and do some digging while your there please.


Other than that it depends what you like.
I happen to like it cold, so plenty of snow for skiing
plenty of hills for mountainbiking
and plenty of deep water for scubadiving.

I like backyards too! simple, hopefully plenty of critters and no flight hassles. Although the family and I are going to the Yucatan Penisula over the holidays and plan to get a bit time in on the beaches around Tulum and visit the ruins at Chichen Itza.

A couple places I'm really looking forward to seeing are the ruins of Uxmal and the city of Merida.
I'm looking for what to do on New Years in Merida or Uxmal if anyone has ideas?

Happy Holidays!
