I have many wishes, but probably the most un-attainable is a cruise round the world.  How exciting to put in at various ports!  Gosh, I would never have the time or money for this, but it sure would be fun!

I would love to see London and countryside of England, Scotland, Wales, and/or Ireland.

Edinburgh.

Greece.

Italy.

Belgium.

I'm sure I could locate a few more, given time.

What is on your travel wish list?

amoLucia's list:

- Scotland, home to Mary, Queen of Scots.

- England, but really only the Tower of London. You can ask for a special tour as I'd like to walk up Traitor's Gate steps. I believe it's partially underwater now under the river Thames. Elizabeth I entered as a prisoner of her sister, Bloody Queen Mary,  but Eliz exited as Queen. I want to walk the same steps as Eliz did!

-  Rio de Janero, Brazil for Mardi Gras. And to visit that mountain-top statue of Christ the Redeemer with the outstretched arms.

- Antartica. In the warmest poss season, just to be a tourist.

- Egypt, to visit the pyramids. Great idea for someone who's claustrophobic!

What!! 

Just the tower? London by itself you couldn't see properly in a month of Sundays. And England is just riddled with amazing places.

Egypt is amazing. Really save your money and take a cruise down the Nile. Start from the Valley of the Kings. But you won't believe how amazing Jordan and Libya are.

TY for the comeback info.

If given a limited time block, I'd rather spend it visiting Scotland. And the mid-East sounds very appealing. Also to visit Japan. If I could study a Rosetta Stone/Babel language course, I'd select Japanese - after /French & Spanish. Now Japan sounds really fascinating to me.
