Japan, China, Tibet, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Italy, Greece, Canada, Puerto Rico, Barbados.

I'd go back to any of them - Japan especially because I have family there - but I'd love to try some new places, too. I've never been to South or Central America or Mexico. I have friends in Australia and Turkey that would be fun to visit. Don't speak a word of the language, but Croatia sounds like an interesting place to see, too. I've thought about doing a wwoof.org trip, where you stay for free on an organic farm in a foreign country in exchange for helping out.

I have been to Mexico.... but have no desire to go back again, same thing with France. Germany was a nice place to visit, but I dont think I would ever want to live there due to government interference. Canada is in the same league as Germany.

Always wanted to go to Spain and see the running of the bulls. Maybe Cuba too. (Hemingway enthusiast?)

Realistically I'd really like to go to Lithiunia. More specifically Vilnius. My grandfather was born there.

As a kid spent quite a few summers in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.... not technically another country but I did leave the Continental 48.

Oh, yeah, we used to live in south TX... walked across the border lots of times.

In the 60's my father took us to Canada every summer. I've been to the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Would love to go back to see Bay of Fundy again and maybe add in Newfoundland and Labrador. Would really like to see to see the Viking settlelemnt site.
The provinces I went to w/BSA for backcountry canoe trips were Manitoba and NW Ontario. Would really, really love to see Nunavit.
In the 80's we took a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas with the kids.
I would like to see Great Britain and Scotland, and Ireland, since my background heritage is Celtic.
And Japan since GFB and I are otaku :

We've only been to Canada and Japan, we'll go back to Japan sometime soon because I have family there...but I've lost any desire to travel long distances unless there's a good reason to go. I've never been a happy flier.

As an adolescent, we spent the night on the Canadian side of Niagra Falls. I've always wanted to go to Germany. Alas, it'll never be. I've also been to the strange countries of New York and California. My mom wanted us to see the ocean so the summer I was 17 we stuck our toes into the chilly waters of northern California.

Lived in Japan and Italy. Travelled to Greece and Canada and incidently landed in a few others whether I wanted to or not. I was stranded once on Midway for a week.
Outside of the Greek islands, I wouldn't want to go anywhere outside my state (possibly county) again.
But if someone else took care of all the bother, I would love to take a history oriented tour of sites out east. I would love to see Williamsburg. And see Mount Vernon and Montpelier and Montecello. I saw them when I was too young to really appreciate it.

England twice, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Canada multiple times, Mexico, Australia three times, New Zealand three times, St. Maarten twice. So many more places I am ready to see! Next up is probably Bali... after that, Italy, France, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Turkey, Japan and China. It's a big, beautiful world!

I've been to Iraq, Kuwait, Dubai, Afghanistan, Qatar, The Africas, The Galapagos, The Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, and Mexico. And does the Bahamas count?

To be honest, there is not one place in this world I'd rather be than the US. There are so many places to explore here, I'm sure I'd never behold the glory of them all.

I guess if my arm were twisted, I would be happy to see the beauty of New Zealand.

Canada, Mexico, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and Holland. I would love to go to England, Ireland and Australia. And for Eddy who asked about what states we have been to it would be easier to list those I have not been to. I have lived in IL, MS, NH, NJ, NM, FL, HI, AL, GA, TX. I think that's all. LOL The only states I have not seen are Maryland, Alaska, Montana, Arizona and Colorado.

My husband spent 20 years in the Air Force. Before we met, he was stationed in England and Italy. After we married, he was stationed in exotic places like Alabama and Illinois. When he served on an IG team, he traveled to about every Air Force base in the world to do inspections.

I have been to and lived in a lot of places in the US, but my international travels are a bit light. In college I went on a missions trip to El Salvador and we also drove over to Guatamala and helped repair a church during that trip. I have been to Mexico a few times, for pleasure and on several youth mission trips when I was a youth pastor in California.

We plan to go to Europe when the kids are old enough. My husband wants to show me his favorite places and I really want to visit Ireland, Italy, and England. My husband is always keeping an eye out for DOD positions on Foreign bases, so who knows we could end up living overseas for a while.

I've only been to China and Hong Kong and I'd go back in a heartbeat. I'd love to see Poland, Sweden, Germany, Kenya, Australia, Nepal, Tibet, actually, I think I'd be up to go just about any where.

England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, Holland, Lichtenstein Canada. I've travelled a lot for business in the last several years, so I'm about flown out--I much prefer car trips, so my pleasure travel is in the US. If forced to, I'd go back to Ireland or Austria.

My fav trip is after graduating from HS. Two other guys and I left S FLA and drove a station wagon all the way to Acapulco Mex. and back to S FL. We traveled for 3 weeks. Boy did we have fun. We were 18 and dumb. That was over 40 yrs ago. I would not even attempt to go into Mex with all the drug violence now.
