With no intention of getting a passport visiting other countries is out for me.

Expect I'd opt to visit the NW ¼ of the United States.

I have no desire to leave the US for a trip, but would love to take an Alaskan tour. I've been to every state in the US, Canada, and Mexico when I was traveling for my work. But would love to RV to all the states and stay a month in each one. Or at least most of them. Not sure there's that much to do in Rhode Island. LOL

I'll go anywhere any time - except for our dang milk cow.

I'd love to go back to China. I would love to go and tour some very small/homesteady type farms in any other country. Just to see what people like us do and how they do it.

I'd love to go back to Japan and spend 3-4 months, our last trip was just wonderful. That's DH and I in front of the Nagasaki Peace Monument in my avatar.

Also love to visit Australia and New Zealand someday.

I'd load up my kids in an RV and visit the grave and homesite of every one of my American ancestors (that I could find). Then, I'd visit Newfoundland to see the puffins, whales, and icebergs and, then visit St. Pierre and Miquelon to see how much French I remember from college. Throw in a trip up the Alaska Highway and I think I'd be pretty darned content.

England. Or a long RV tour of the US and Canada. Or Germany. Or Australia. Hm, tough choice. This year I think I'd choose Germany because Yusuf is on tour there this spring . . .

Sigh... I don't fly so travel outside the US is out (though Scotland/Ireland would be nice and my first ancestor to come the US in the 1600's was Dutch and that would be nice too..)

So I would also do a really, really, really, really long drive around North America.
That would be totally awesome! Niagra, Canada, Rockies etc.. what fun!

We had to cancel our honeymoon because of business obligations (almost 24 years ago!) so I would love to finally do that.
We were booked on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul. With a side trip to "Bran (Dracula's) Castle" in Transylvania.

The long flight would bother me, but, I'd love to go see old castles, buildings, etc anywhere in Europe and be able to wander around by myself and "pretend".

Alaska would be nice and I could take a cruise ship there.

In reality, Mom and Stepdad just moved to Montana in 10/10, so guess where our new vacation spot is only an hour from Yellowstone! Going in May or September this year.

Ireland!

Before my brother and sis-in-law move back to the States.

I'd also like to explore both Australia and Alaska as I have a thing for wide-open, unsettled places.

I'd just like to go on another extended Tour of the Good Old USA. I've seen a lot of it...
The Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Painted Dessert, Petrified Forest, Yellowstone Nat. Park, and I've toured most of the Western USA and a good bit of the SouthEastern USA.

I'd like to eat at Col. Bozeman's, again, out in Buffalo,WY. I'd like to camp at Weber State Park, up the Canyon, from Ogden, UT. The River water was so cold in July you could not wash your face in it. I'd like to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon again. And, I'd like to see Old Faithful blow again, one more time.
I have a lot of good pictures, in my mind, I'd like to go back to.

Load me up with DSW in a Motorhome or even a good pickup with a shell on the back to haul luggage........I could travel around the Rest of the Country, for a month or two.
Then just come back Home content.

I'm not a traveler (never ever had any intentions of leaving the US or Canada). After living in Europe for a few year I've had my fill...we couldn't live there and not show the kids as much as we could. If my arm is being twisted I'd opt for parts of the US I haven't seen...Pacific NW, Alaska, or the upper NE. If it has to be an "out of country" trip then either Australia (when it drys up some) or the British Isles.

I'd love to go to Australia, but only if I could go on a private jet b/c no trip is worth going through the scanning process.

I'd love to see the outback and kangaroos and stuff

If a private jet wasn't possible, then I'd go to my favorite place in the US...Saint Augustine, FL. I love the history and the city. I love walking down St. George Street and eating at the Columbia Restaurant. We're going there for spring break in March. Of course, it's only about 2 hours away, so that makes it really nice.
