Which country would you most like to visit and whY

Or if you have been already was it what you expected?

I would love to visit New Zealand. It's supposed to be really beautiful.

I would also love to fly a Helicoper over the Grand Canyon and visit Disney Land and Paramount Studios to satisfy the child in me :-4

How about You?

Well the UK and I can't wait History and to visit my friends.

Figi to see the lush beauty

Italy, it just intrigues the architecture and history.

I want to go to Australia, we have family there! :) I'd love to go to Canada and Mexico!

We've been to Ireland millions of times, England, and France.

We've seen 45 States, I'd like to see the other 5! :)

I h ad always wanted to go to Jamaica as well, and when I got there it was spectacular, pity I could not have been there in the 50's and 50's when all the glam of the movie stars exuded from everywhere. Jamaica is very 3rd world but it is stunning as well.

Ooo and nearly forgot, ANY huge Coaster Park in the USA.

hehehe our blond travel companion was a young early 20's gal and the locals loved her. The men love "american" women, and the ratio of women to men in Jamaica is 9-1 yep 9 women to 1 man and the women hate this so when they see white women, they...... hiss at us ahahahahaha

Took us awhile to figure that one out, My oldest daughter was incredibly insulted. Funny now.

I too would like that Or to BC and watch the bears during salmon spawning. That is supposed to be cool.

Spain would be a lovely place to see as well.... just strikes me as Rich culture not money wise but every other way.

I was just reading about the bears. I was surprised to read some of the warnings like not to go near them if you are menstruating. Hmm Interesting.

I was in Gran Canary last year and it's a lovely little Island.
