Default I Travel - favourite destinations...

since many folks on here appear to be seasoned travellers.. I was wondering what your top 5 Destinations are...

Mine are
1. Brisbane (my home town)
2. Hong Kong (perfect fusion of East meets West)
3. London (rule Brittania!)
4. Glasgow (Simple Minds)
5. New York City (The Big Apple)

over to you!

Just had a brilliant time but cannot put my finger on anything
