Julian's trip got me thinking and I thought I would share my thoughts.
From a young teen I always wanted to visit California and the west of the US. I think this was mainly because I grew up on a steady diet of Western movies and books, and it all sounded so beautiful.
Well I did visit there once I hit 29, and ended up coming back to live here after marrying an American. There are still parts of the US I really want to see, mainly Monument Valley in Utah and the southern states. Previously I had wanted very badly to see the Grand Canyon, and I did that last year.
The only other place I really want to visit is Australia, I have family there and really want to take a long trip out there.
Where do you most want to visit or photograph, and why?

There are two places that I want to go:
New York City. It's really not that far from me, but somehow I've never found a reason to go. My travel schedule is pretty full for this year, so I probably won't make it for a while. Maybe next year...
Northern Ontario. This one's booked for the beginning of July; I'll be traveling with my girlfriend to see where she's from, and get to see more of my own province. I'll also be taking a train excursion that my mother had been planning for before she passed away, so it should be a good way to close one chapter of my life and open the next one.

This is a great topic .
I havent said anything about it yet mainly because i want sure that i would make it, but this July i am going to Costa Rico ! I will only be there for a few days but i will be going to a few different places like the rain forest , and some other touristy places .
I grew up on Clearwater Beach Florida so the water doesnt get me too excited , so i guess i have always wanted to go to Germany , and Ireland. I really cant tell an exact reason they have always appealed to me . And another is Australia , its another place that has excited me too. I have also wanted to go to Louisiana , but into the swamps , i love the moss ( we dont have moss here ) ..

At the moment, more than places to visit, it is some kind of pictures to take. I would love to go somewhere with great landscapes and waterfalls and take lots of long exposure pictures.
Hopefully I'll be able to do it in my next trip to Mexico....
