Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?
My life's passion is travel. So far I've been to Japan, Korea, Portugal, and most recently Hong Kong (this April). On the top of my list for future destinations are India, Vietnam, and France/Italy/Spain.. I like to travel with no itinerary - give me a round-trip ticket and a big ole' backpack and I'm happy as a clam. What I can't stand are Cancun-type all inclusive resorts where you're completely cut off from locals.
What about you, fellow SWers? Where have you travelled and where would you most like to travel in the future?

I heard it is a real bear to get a passport out of North Dakota..

Re:Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?
Hey, that was one my favorite places. The Dakotas are God's country. California is the devil's playground ; P
Mexico was the most special by far. My heart was made full.

Re:Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?
My mother says all over Europe as a child. Sweden (born there) PA, Harvey's Lake actually, nice lake houses all around, boats, barn, horses! Beautiful. NYC once, with my now deceased sister. All over the east coast of Florida, and south Florida. Not much traveling, school when i needed it, work kept me grounded for many many years. Not much of a traveler with home child and animlas to care for alone.
Back to Sweden for Turkey Day!!!

Re:Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?

Every province in Canada except Quebec and Newfoundland...but i'm going there this year.
US: Washington, Cali, Oregon, Montana
Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, and Cancun Mexico
I've also been to Holland when I was a little baby...but that doesn't really count, hehe. I want to go back to Amsterdam for sure, see some family there.
In the next two years i'm also gonna get a work visa and go bum around in Australia...well that's the plan.

Re:Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?
Place I've been that I can remember:
Los Angeles esp. Disneyland and Universal Studios
Seattle, Washington
New York City, NY
Washington DC
Las Vegas, Nevada
Key West Florida
Orlando FL.... lived there for the last half of 1993 hence I've 'done' Disneyworld and other 'tourist' type of things there.
London, England
Birmingham, Scotland
That was my 'white christmas' holiday - parents wanted us kids to experience snow since Gold Coast is similiar to Florida.. definately no snow. It is thanks to this trip that I realised I like sunny/tropical destinations.
Paris, France.... and I soo want to re-visit as an adult.
Wakiki, Hawaii
Maui
Never the actual island of Hawaii... the other islands instead.
Wouldn't mind returning for an adult visit to Hawaii and it's islands.
All the above I was a teenager.... I wouldn't mind enjoying the same destinations as an adult ;D
Coming Soon:
Las Vegas NEVADA .... but as an adult this time! ;D
Austin, Texas ... depends if I save enough $$ from my Mt Isa trip.
Never been to New Zealand... it isn't high on my places to visit list but I do plan to eventually go as a tourist.
Australia:
Rockhampton... yes for work but I did get to experience it somewhat
Cairns... mainly for a holiday even tho' I did a couple of nights work. Loved it.. will return for another holiday - definately not working there again (nothing against the club just better places to work elsewhere)
Melbourne, Victoria.... well.. I've visited this place so much throughout my whole life due to a whole heap of relatives and now my younger brother living down there.
Other places I plan to visit (and/or work) in Australia:
Townsville
Adelaide
Darwin
Canberra
Outside Australia .. I wouldn't mind being able to eventually do a "round the world" type of trip. Experience a few nights at a whole heap of cities/towns and then plan on which ones I'll re-visit.
Paris, France... and country-side France is definately on my re-visit as an adult list.
UK.. Not high on my list but on the list of places to visit.
Brazil for the Mardi Gras.. definately something I must do before I die ;D Same goes with Spain..
NEW ORLEANS... always had a facination with that place but never visited.
Well.. that's it for now...

Re:Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?
you know I would love to travel around the states, I've been to cali, seattle, new york, florida and all the states from NY to fl, don't ask it was a gosh damn long drive that I would be happy never to do again.
I wanna go to NEW ORLEANS, that was the only place I've ever wanted to see here, and so far haven't acheived it :(
GoldCoastGirl, being an aussie, I recommend you only go to NZ if ya wanna do some extreme sport, I think it's too close to home personally. I always wanted to do black or white water rafting.
OR this http://www.flybywire.co.nz/index2.htm hey we can be fun :)

Re:Travel - Where have you been? Where are you going?
Well, I have never been out of the country, (Unless you count Guantanamo Bay, Cuba), but I've been to quite a few places...
*Born in New London, Ct*
*Raised here in Rhode Island*
*Married and Moved to Zion, Illinois*
*Moved to Guantanamo Bay for 2 years*
*Then to Norfolk & Newport News, Virginia*
*Moved and had a house in Peoria, Arizona*
I'm moving back to Arizona in March. I've never been one for the cold weather, and I'm definitely in my Element in AZ. So I, My Hubby and Our Lil One are packing up and heading there when our lease is up. Buh-bye forever, snow! LOL
As for visiting other countries, One day, I plan on visiting Sicily. I have so many relatives there, and I know I would completely love it.

That was the best part of this job I would never have seen this much of the world as a nine to five office working gal - never.
Not all my trips were work related but this job afforded me to go to many places - monetarily and the freedom of scheduling.
I miss that part - I really do.
I am going on a 3 day white water rafting trip down the Ottawa River with some friends tomorrow for the whole weekend - to answer the second part of this thread's question "where are u going?"!!
Fun topic - good thread! Thanks!
Leigh :)
