I'm bored, and yearning for my trip in June, and nothing planned after that. So, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of places where some time in the future I would like to:

- take a cruise
- visit
- re-visit

Cruise destinations, in order of reality, rather than preference (i.e., how likely am I to do this):

- Alaska
- Norway
- Panama Canal
- Transatlantic
- Asia
- South America
- Galapagos
(I know, these last two are pretty vague.)

Places that I want to visit, in random order:

- Egypt
- Japan
- Indonesia
- Brazil
- Portugal (going there in June!)
- South Africa
- Ireland
- Mexico
- Costa Rica
- New Zealand
- Australia
- Easter Island
- ... oh, this list is too long....

Places I want more of, in order of likelihood, and my desire to go there:

- Greece
- Turkey
- England
- Scotland
- FP (duh!)
- Bahamas
- Italy
- Morocco (now this list is getting too long too!)

We would love to visit Israel but I am not sure that we'll ever really feel safe enough going there.

Greece is the next on the list.

Other than what I have already booked to take me to places I have not visited (ROAR [Africa]POP[Antarctica]) and some I am revisiting because of the people on the cruises and some new ports (FJORDS and PUBS), I have to say more of Asia and then South America. Have lots I want to see that require land trips (like back to Switzerland, for one)

I keep a planning spreadsheet - we want to get to some destinations sooner while we're still somewhat young and active and some because they are changing. Our go "sooner than later" list includes:

Africa - booked
Vietnam - booked
Antarctica - booked
Bhutan
Tibet
India
Morocco
Egypt
Burma

Oh yeh, I forgot Hong Kong--always wanted to go there. And Botswana, I have a new yearning for that, having read almost all of Alexander McCaul Smith's series.

Oh, and more places in Eastern Europe!
