If you have all the money you'll need, where/which is the top 3 countries you wish to travel in the next few years?

[aam1234]

Just travel or travel to photograph.

[blinking8s]

One is enough: B&H

United Arab Emirates to see my parents and visit childhood memories again.

Australia

[tommykjensen]

No particular order.

Safari in Africa
Australia
California, USA

[nosquare2003]

I went to Kenya for a month, it was AWESOME...fav place ive ever been

[sGu]

safari in africa, southamerica and tibet, in that order, maybe ... of course, after getting everything i need from B&H for those trips.

[timmyquest]

I always seem to have a lot of fun at my girlfriends house.

[CoolToolGuy]

Germany, England, and Hawaii (not quite a country, but far enough away from the continental USA to warrant its own mention).

Have Fun,

[PacAce]

- USA (start off the trip right in my "backyard" first visiting as many states as I can, including Hawaii and Alaska)
- Canada
- Japan

and, if I had any money left...

- Philippines and a few other Southeast Asian countries
- Galapagos Island
- Mexico

[jukas]

California, USA

I live there, it's rather over-rated :wink:

For me it would have to be

Australia/New Zeland
Africa
Fiji or Hawaii (again)

[Persian-Rice]

Dubai, Ive been there, absolutely stunning.
Egypt.
The continent of Africa in general.

worthy replacements.
Australia
Greece
Italy, been, love to go again.
Switzerland
Brazil
Monaco, been, want to go again.

[robertwgross]

Southeastern Kenya
Northeastern Tanzania
Eastern Nepal

(Been there, done that, read the book, saw the movie)

[sGu]

well, after run out places on earth, i'd go visit moon, mars and NASA space station, just a thought, it would make a killer shot of earth from space, maybe that's when canon 1200mm lens comes handy, well, a lot cropping in post processing would be expected ... :roll:

[ScottK]

California, USA

I live there, it's rather over-rated :wink:

Funny. I live there too, and up till recently probably would have echoed that sentiment. But we're starting to think about relocating, and suddenly everything I look at, I think "You won't see that anymore when you leave...". Even the threat of abscence makes the heart grow fonder...

As far as trips, I guess New Zealand, Scandanavia, and Alaska.

I used to always say I'd really like to go to Mongolia, just because it seemed the most remote place you could go to - like the phrase "outer Mongolia". Then I saw part of the first Amazing Race (I think - all those shows run together now), when they went there, and I wasn't really enticed anymore.

[Penguin_101_1]

Alaska,USA, West USA, Eastern USA (NYC, Maine, ect.), and the rest of USA. :lol:

[nosquare2003]

Dubai, Ive been there, absolutely stunning.


I've been there...what's stunning (except the desert)?

[roanjohn]

Just want to be dropped by a plane in the summit of Mt. Everest and take a panoramic view on top.

..............In reality:

I can't think...........there's too many.

Anywhere but New York.

Ro1

[HJMinard]

Alaska (might as well be another country)
Ireland
Italy

In the U.S. I'd like to visit the usual suspects (Utah (Arches, Zion, etc.), Wyoming (Tetons/Yellowstone), etc., etc.).

[arogop]

New Zealand (to find the hobbits)
and Australia since I would be next door.

Beautiful Alaska

then off to Canada to photograph orchids.

[tommykjensen]

California, USA

I live there, it's rather over-rated :wink:


I have been to San Diego 2 times on business but would like to go back on holiday.

[jimtfoto]

Scotland
Russia
France/Italy (toss-up)

jim

[Sketcher]

I'm liking Alaska at the moment.

I'd like to travel Scotland again.

Been lots of places while in the Navy so a lot of the travel bug has been sated; though I would like to revisit all those places now that I'm into photography.

[Nana]

I would go to Australia, Italy and Africa.. :D

[John_T]

I'm off to Sicily and Greece in ten days. I never know much in advance where I want to go next. Since a US passport isn't so welcome in many of my favorite places and some other places I would like to go, it's rather limited where I find it advisable to go. PITA.

Anybody coming to Switzerland, let me know. :D

[aam1234]

Where in Switzerland are you at John_T.

Went there to school (in summer) many times when I was a kid. And some more when I grew up too, no more though.

[John_T]

I've lived in Geneva, Zurich area, Schwyz and now near Bern. Beautiful country for photography.

[aam1234]

I know what you mean John_T.

Switzerland is so beautiful, it's almost unreal. As if a higher power drew and painted it.

[Persian-Rice]

Dubai, Ive been there, absolutely stunning.

When was the last time you went? The buildings, accommodations and designs are unparallelled. I guess you need to know where to go. It's not a historic city by any means, I guess if you are going there as a tourist with no intentions of shopping, then Dubai could be a bore......

[aam1234]

Two of the places I'd like to visit are Iran (w/o the mullas in power of course...plz no politics) and Oman. Iran has so much history that I'm sure many will be fascinated by it. Oman has unique and diverse geography, would be very interesting for photographers.

[Danny Boy]

Has anyone seen Ft. Wayne, Ind.? Thinking about going. :lol:

Seriously, I've been to Alaska and some of the views are spectacular.

Dan

[Cheese]

I think Persian-Rice was quite profound when he said in reference to Dubai "I guess you need to know where to go." I think that could apply to any destination depending on your perspective.

If I had to choose 3 locations I'd pick.

1. The South of England to see some of the places I can just vaguely remember as a young boy.

2. St. Petersburg to see how it has changed from when I was there 20 years ago and it was called Leningrad.

3. Japan - never been but would like to travel around and see the various islands.

[thomascanty]

California, USA

I live there, it's rather over-rated :wink:


I live there, too, and I definitely wouldn't say it's overrated. California, Nevada and Arizona are enough to keep me happy. I don't need to go to any other countries...

[HJMinard]

Has anyone seen Ft. Wayne, Ind.? Thinking about going. :lol:


:lol: Been there ... mostly underwhelmed. Did enjoy the zoo and the Lincoln museum, however.

[Aylwin]

Top 3 favorite destinations (meaning, been there at least a few times):

1) Cebu, Philippines and some other islands in the area
2) Switzerland - beautiful, scenic country
3) U.S. - too big, too many things yet to see

Destinations I haven't been to yet but would like to if money (and more importantly, time) wasn't a problem:
1) New Zealand - I'd love to visit Middle Earth
2) Italy - for art and history
3) Dubai - for my wife, more of a "if money was no object" one :)

I have a long list of runners up though. The world is a beautiful place. There a many many places I'd like to visit or visit again.

[Persian-Rice]

Cheese, you are right, that was quite a dumb thing to say, but I guess I could argue that some places are great anywhere you go.

Iran is brilliantly beautiful. Politics do get in the way sometime, but it's still a very very nice country. It is the heart of the old Persia in all reality. Tehran is an urban and very nice city to be, but you have historic city's like Isfahan and Shiraz.

Not quite as amazing as Greece, but it has many comparable sites. Culturally, it's a very warm place that makes you feel accepted.
Its a true uncharted torusist spot, people have a bad picture of the country, but it's the opposite.

Last year. I have no interest in shopping, anyway I don't much to shop there.

Yes, a historic city will arouse my interest more.

I love everything, but places like Dubai are great for their architecture and stores. Italy has both, last time I went, I think my shopping bill was equal to my entire trip cost - shopping. But Italy is also very beautiful.

[Andy_T]

In no special order:

- China ... it's so vast that there's something for everybody. Also includes Tibet, nowadays :roll:
- New Zealand
- USA ... haven't seen the National parks, but would love to.

Best regards,
Andy

ya.. Tibet can be a romantic place for a honeymoon!

Vast, yes. Not sure about something for everybody though. :roll: Don't get me wrong, China is on my list of nice and interesting places to visit. I just don't think it has something for everybody.

Dubai, Ive been there, absolutely stunning.
Egypt.
The continent of Africa in general.


I lived in Abu Dhabi for a long time. Much more facinating now than it used to be when i was young. Dubai was always great. But now its like 200x what it was and grows so fast I cannot even keep up.

I find Abu Dhabi a little more peaceful to live in, road construction in Dubai always got on my nerves. Al Ain is a blast to visit...this x-mas I cannot wait to go back with a camera. All those years in the Middle East and I didnt even own a camera then.
