I posted this @ CMR...thought it would be interesting to see what others have to say.

All the recent posts about great Metal Festivals
in Europe reminded my of my desire to see much of Europe. My wife and I
recently made our combined Top 10 Must See list to travel to over the
next 20-30 years. I'll list ours and I'm curious as to what other
people think....list places you HAVEN'T been to yet (Maybe we can do
another thread about the BEST places you HAVE been to??)

In No Order

1) Ireland/Scotland/England/France combo trip

2) Hawaii - I know that's general/generic...we'd have to figure the best parts

3) "Mediterranean" - Greece, Italy, Spain in one loop

4) New Zealand/Australia -

5) Lake Tahoe - This is one my wife picked alone, but I'm sure I'll enjoy

6) "Middle Europe" - I
couldn't think of a better title for these places, but the trip would
involve Belgium (Bruges specifically), Germany (Black Forest), Lake
Lucern, Switzerland. This one was all my idea

7) Sea Of Galilee (and Holy Land places in general) My wife's pick

8) "Scandinavia"
- Norway, Finland, Sweden - Geographic, Geologic, Meterological, and
Metal Majesty....and I want to stay in an Ice Hotel someday!! This one
was all my idea and I might have to get Kmorg to snuggle with me in the
Ice Hotel as my Caribbean born wife wants no part of it!!

9) Rio De Janeiro -
Believe it or not this is my wife's idea as I'm not sure I can handle
the "visual display" that such a place has to offer....my best defence
has always been avoiding places that tempt me!! But, with my hot wife
on my arm I'll be OK :)

10) Japan - This one is
all my idea. Japan intrigues me endlessly. They have such a great combo
of History, beauty and things I like. Didn't know until coming to the
old CMR that Japan loved the Metal I love. Always new they loved Yakyu
and Sumo wrestling but never metal. Lots to see in Japan!

That's my list...what's your Top 10??

I would love to visit England and Ireland someday.

I've also never been farther West in the USA than Wisconsin, so it might be nice to actually visit California and see how folks live on the "other coast"

And I'd love to visit Japan just for the Godzilla toy and CD shopping!

Well, you all are welcome to visit me. But if you think you'll find an ice hotel in my town, you're crazy! :lol (I think you'll find one in Sweden, one in Finland, one on Iceland, and maybe on Svalbard)

My lifelong dream is to visit the US. Ever since I first started to get into Christian metal back in it's hayday, I wanted to visit the Sanctuary Church in California. That dream has since evolved into a 6 month travel all across the US. Starting in New York, and probably ending up in California somewhere. And along the way I have to stop in strange places like Albuerquerque (can't even spell it), to visit all my friends on the internet. Other places I want to see in the US: Florida, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Texas, Route 66....

I have never been to England, or Great Brittain. Me and my wife are thinking about going to London next year, as they are opening a new airport close by my town, and it will get so much easier to go places then.

At some point it would also be cool to travel to Asia. Japan and China seems cool.

Australia and New Zealand is also on the "wish-list".

NORWAY is number one. I also want to visit all the Scandinavian countries. I don't know why I just started getting interested in those countries. Probaly due to the fact that I listen to Bathory, Burzum, Immortal etc. and just got interested in them. I am doing a report on Norway in school actually. I already know one weird fact, Black Metal is a "cultural export" in Norway.

You've got that right! But I'm not sure it brings as much money to Norway as one might think, as pretty much all the bands are signed to labels in Germany, England, Greece etc. We also do good in oil and salmon! Very Happy

Germany
Norway
England

I've been through most of the U.S. and parts of Canada. I've been to Disney, and many of the big theme parks around the country. I've been blessed to perform in Switzerland and around the U.S. over the years. I've been very fortunate to travel a lot over the past 40 years.

I have been to Canada, Mexico, most of the Carribean Islands, Jamaica
(prilgrimage to Bob's grave - left a "thank you" gift in his
mausoleum), Cuba (don't tell anyone), Australian, New Zealand, Cook
Islands, England, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece,
Lumembourg, Lichtenstein, Austria, Belgium, The Netherlands, Albania,
Andorra (well they consider it a country), The Bahamas, Belize,
Honduras, Texas (hell, that's a whole different planet!), and I am
probably forgetting a few.

But of all the places I would love to go to would be Japan. I
have alot of trading buddies over there that are so cool online, that
it just makes me want to meet them in person. Indonesia would be
a trip, too.

A few other places...

I've never been to Hawaii but would LOVE to go there. When I was a kid my grandparents went there to celebrate their retirement and when they returned my grandfather said "When I win the lottery I'm going back and I'm taking the entire family!" Unfortunately he passed away some time ago so I guess I'm on my own if I ever want to visit there. Smile

I'd also like to re-visit Germany someday. I spent a month there as an exchange student in 1987 (three weeks in Frankfurt, one week in West Berlin -- this was pre-unification) and it would be nice to go back and see it again through more "adult" eyes. I was only 17 when I went there so a lot of historical sites and places that would probably interest me now weren't really that important to me at that age. I was more into the beer gardens and the record stores. Smile
