Top 5 places to visit before you die
#1
![Default](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi all,
Inspired by my holiday thread started thinking about where else I'd like to go (not just for my xmas hols).
So I thought I'd do a places I've been and places I'd like to go before I die so here goes;
Places I've been and loved (would strongly recommend or go back to)
1) New York - love it fab city
2) Dublin- fantastic city- I'd happily move there
3) New Zealand- South Island- stunning scenery- Kaikoura was my favourite place where you can go whale watching. Very laid back and chilled
4) Paris- a beautiful city- been there many many times, would say that everyone should go at least once, stunning architecture and so much history witha little bit of seediness as well (Montmatre) just a shame about the Parisiennes.
5) London- yes I know its my home but London is my favourite city in the world.
6) Miami- fun city- great vibe all completely shallow though
7) Hong Kong- you have to go!
Place I want to go
1) Hawaii- I have an image of sitting on the beach at sunset by a campfire, drinking cocktails with Jack Johnson playing on is guitar - bliss
2) Russia
3) Cuba
4) Canada
5) Australia ( just all the creepy crawlies put me off)
6) Amsterdam- can't believe I haven't been- would love to go and see the tulip fields
7) Africa ( bit vague as not sure where would be the best place to go- would love to do a safari)
8) Egypt- plan to go next year.
9) Tokyo
Ok I went over 5 but couldn't work out which one to drop.
anyone else?

San Francisco, the most beautiful and welcoming of all US cities.
Going back there in August, for the first time in seven years - I hope it hasn't changed a bit...........

It heads through Jackson Hole which is a really Cowboy type town. Thorugh Utah and Wyoming I think. Let me do a quick search and see what I can find in my route maps. We were heading to Sturgis at the time...

There is another similar place in KSA called Madain Saleh. Obviously less tourists and from what I hear equally impressive. Getting a visa can be a challenge, but there are organised tours apparently.
