List 3 countries/places you wish to visit Wich countries you have already visited?
 
Been to 35 countries. (Not an international man of mystery. Just a former corporate hack and expat.) Would love to someday go to South Africa, Lebanon and Vietnam. (Add New Zealand if I can get a bonus baby.)
 
Bucket list: Thailand, Australia, Germany
Been to- Italy, England, Scotland, Switzerland, just about every Caribbean Island, Costa Rica, Mexico, Canada, and drum roll....The Galapagos (which is not a country but part of Ecuador) The Galapagos was my favorite!
 
Not listing how many I’ve been to because it surely indicates a lengthy sojourn on the planet. San Marino, Andorra, Monaco are included. Don’t forget Vatican City is an independent state!

Didn't leave anything behind after a deployment there so I don't need to go back to get it. . . Plenty of memories, not many of which I want to revisit.

Been a lot of places already but have not been to the far east. Considering an Alaska cruise and a Norwegian fjord cruise (already been - this time I don't have to do the work). European river/city exploration, Normandy exploration trip.
 
Because NZ has come up a few times...My first job after college was working on a sheep station on the North Island. I got that job when a buddy and I saw a sign stapled to a wall in Wellington that said "Do you like to have fun? Do you like sheep? Call xxx".

It's my favorite country other than my own

It’s a shame what’s happened to Lebanon. And sadly our troops have suffered alongside the natives.

At one time, Beirut was considered the Paris of the Middle East. Perhaps some hyperbole there, but nonetheless was once a cosmopolitan, sophisticated, vibrant place. (I picture its old self as the Arab version of Tel Aviv, where I’ve been.) I’ve read that the mountains and sea are wonderful. And I have a terrible weakness for all foods Middle Eastern.

It is physically beautiful. I cruised up and down the beaches of the city - or actually a couple hundred yards off of the beach in a small boat and it was quite tragic - the beauty along with shell holes, craters and wreckage.
 
My dad loved Beirut and Tehran...that was in the very early 1960s. His photos (slides, anyone remember those) are just beautiful!!

Not sure I'm too interested in seeing either today.
 
I've been to London and Costa Rica. They were both lovely, however I'd like to visit London when there's better weather (I went in the middle of November).

Italy, South Korea, and France are pretty high up on my list
 
I've been to the UK, France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Taiwan (OK. just the airport on the last one). This means DS and DW have already been to more countries than I, so their winning. I don't have a strong desire to go abroad but would certainly take advantage of any opportunity, especially if DS was assigned to some exotic locale.

I have been to 34 states, I would love to hit the last 16, especially since the tough ones (Alaska and Hawaii) are out of the way. I think a couple long road trips, to visit the big square ones, should do the job. Indiana and Michigan would finish off those east of the mighty Mississippi. Hmmmm.... maybe I should start making plans for a summer vacation?
 
Wish to Go

Australia, Spain/Portugal and Iceland

Where I have been

Argentina, Israel, England France, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Hungry, Luxemburg, and Greece

When you go to Michigan, plan it around a football ball at University of Michigan. A game at the Big House is an experience not to be forgotten. If you do make that trip, hit me up and I'll suggest some of the best eating places I found while DS was there.
