Yeah, I have heard about this list of 1000 places. In fact, there is a documentary made based on the list on Discovery Channel. I never really got the chance to follow the series. But I would catch it when ever I can. Some of the places they been to are really exotic looking. You would never in your dreams ever know that they exist until we see the show. Very interesting. Hmm... coming out with a list of my own? Well, I will see if I can tonite when I get home after work!

That was a lovely magazine for you to look at. I am sure it took the author a while to think of 1000 places that need to be seen before ones. I really love to travel and there are many places on my travel wish list. Here are some of the places that I would love to see before I die: 1. Vancouver, the Rocky Mountains and Prince Edward Island in Canada 2. Tobago 3. Grenada 4. Cuba 5. Bay Islands in Honduras 6. Leon, Granada and the Corn Islands in Nicaragua 7. Costa Rica 8. San Blas Islands in Panama 9. Cartagena de Indies in Colombia 10.Angel Falls in Venezuela 11.Galapagos Islands 12.Machu Picchu in Peru 13.Rio de Janeiro in Brazil 14.Chile 15.Argentina 16.Madagascar 17.Namibia 18.Victoria Falls in Zambia 19.Mauritius 20.Cape Verde Islands 21.Iceland 22.Cyprus 23.Luxor, Aswan and the pyramids in Egypt 24.Taj Mahal in India 25.Island hopping in the Philippines 26.Island hopping in Thailand 27.Kyoto in Japan 28.Vietnam 29.China 30.Russia 31.Mongolia 32.Tonga 33.Gambia 34.Morocco 35.Syria 36.Lebanon 37.Korea 38.Taiwan 39.Nepal 40.St Helena Island

"1000 Places to See Before You Die" is a very good book. Or at least what I have read of it. The lady at the bookstore was giving me funny looks so I had to eventually put it down and move on. I guess I will have to buy myself a copy. One thing I have noticed though, is that most of the people who have responded so far have listed entire countries or cities. The book, however, breaks it down into specific sites, attractions or events. I suppose if you break it down that way then 1000 places may doable after all. That being said, I have my own "Bucket List" of things to see and do before my time on this earth expires: 1) New York City--I want to do the whole tourist thing: Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Central Park, dinner at Tavern on the Green, FAO Schwartz and buy myself something at Tiffany's while I'm at it. 2) England--all of it, as much as I can take in during one visit. I want to know the land of my ancestors. London is a must; Stonehenge is a given, but I also want to explore the countryside that inspired the great authors and poets. 3) Australia--again, as much as I can take in. It is a big country so repeat visits will likely be necessary. I'm willing to make that sacrifice. 4) Walt Disney World--I have to take the kids there at least once before they grow up. 5) Paris--ah, the dining, the fashion, the museums...I have seen it in movies so many times it seems familiar. I want to experience it in person. 6) The Great Pyramids in Egypt--I have been fascinated by Ancient Egyptian culture since I was very young. I want to see the Sphynx and stand among the ruins that are thousands of years old. 7) Japan--a country with a rich and fascinating culture...traditional tea ceremonies, kabuki theater, Hello Kitty... 8) Machu Picchu, Peru--another ancient city with a fascinating history 9) San Francisco--this city always looks so beautiful in movies. I can't imagine myself not loving it. 10) Vancouver--although I lived here for five years as a child, I know it has changed dramatically since then. I want to see what has changed, what stayed the same and take my children to see where I grew up. 11) Dubai--one of the most over-the-top cities in the world. I believe that Dubai is becoming the next Las Vegas. I'm sure I will have to see this place to believe it! 12) Las Vegas--speaking of over-the-top I can't pass up "Sin City" 13) Belgium--they make chocolates there. Do I need another reason? 14) Buenos Aires, Argentina--if I want to learn to tango, this is the place! 15) China--I want to see the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and the Terra Cotta Warriors near Xian. 16) Costa Rica--I have a friend who visited and loved it so much she decided to move there. 17) Russia--I want to see Moscow and travel the Trans Siberian Railway 18) Mount Rushmore--amazing to think about, but probably even more impressive in person. 19) Tanzania--home of the Serengeti, Mount Kilamanjaro and other sites that people associate with Africa. 20) Hawaii--lush tropical beauty and Magnum PI. What more could I ask for in paradise? 21) Mexico--not just self-contained all-inclusive resorts either--I want to experience the culture and the history. I want to see Mayan pyramids, witness an active volcano and buy silver jewellery from the silversmiths at Taxco. 22) Holland--years ago I had a pen pal from Holland who send me several travel books with glossy colour photos. I have been captivated ever since. 23) New Zealand--I'm sure it is as beautiful as it looks 24) Canada's East Coast--for all the places I have lived in throughout Canada, I have never been east of Ottawa. I must change that. 25) Vermont/New Hampshire--stunning scenery, the Ben & Jerry's factory and an area known as "Antique Alley". I'm going shopping! 26) Switzerland--Another beautiful Eurpoean country that makes chocolate. Of course I must go! 27) The Grand Canyon--one of the most spectacular natural wonders of the world 28) The Atlantis Resort at the Bahamas--I have heard this place is incredible. 29) Florence, Italy--so steeped in history, I'm sure the whole city could be considered a museum 30) Hong Kong--a unique blend of Eastern and Western traditions. 31) Washington DC--there is a lot to see here but I especially want to visit the Smithsonian 32) The French Riviera/Monaco--I want to soak up the sun where all the Parisians go for their vacations. 33) The ruins of Pompeii--the excavated ruins offer a snapshot of life in a Roman village in the 1st century 34) Hershey, Pennsylvania--it's all about the chocolate! 35) A cruise to the Antarctic--just to say I've been to the bottom of the world! I'm sure I could add more to the list but I think that's a good start for now. I'd better start saving my money! I have places to go and things to do.

This is an interesting discussion ! One can actually go on about the places one likes to visit, because there are so many interesting places on our planet. I would like to visit the following places .. 1, First of all I would like to tour every corner of my own country - India 2,Austria 3,China and the Great wall , Beijing, Shanghai 4,Andamans 5, Seychelles 6, Brazil and the Amazonian region 7, Machu picchu 8,Switzerland 9,Nepal 10,Sri lanka 11,Greece 12,Israel 13,Petra 14, Japan 15,Hawaai 16,Devon and Ireland 17,Paris 18,Italy 19,Spain 20,Himalayan region In fact i would like to almost every country in the world !

That's a great list and I hope you start taking care a couple of those as soon as you can! When I was younger, I never really had much interest in going to see other places in the world. But as I get older it is becoming much more of an interest. I would love to go to Ireland, see the ancient ruins in Italy and Greece, go and see the castles in England, France and Scotland.... There are just so many things I'd like to see. First though I should see some of the wonders in the US, like the Grand Canyon. On a personal note, I live in Chicago and think it's a really great place to be.

Lovely! I am glad that you shared this Margaux! And it feels great when it mentions, The City of Joy, which is my City and where the film was shot! You are most welcome to my city anyday. You will be surprised to know that I have traveled very little as yet and wish to cover the treasures of nature that my country blesses us with. It would be stupidity not to unravel those glorious monuments and beautiful hills, Himalayas, Sea and the deserts. And then. I would like to travel untrodden lands.I love natural beauties and more virgin and undissected it is I find it more appealing. And only to come back to my mom's heavenly abode - that's the best of all.

well i probably cant think of 40 off the top of my head but i would have to say: Prince Edward Island, Canada (again) Halifax, Nova Scotia (again) Vancouver, British Columbia Montreal, Quebec New York City (and a bunch of museums there) Washington, DC (the smithsonian!) England (to see where past relatives have lived) Hungary " Germany " Ireland (because i have seen the countryside in pics) China " France (paris and surrounding areas) maybe Florida too

There are lots of places i'd like to see before i die: 1. Coron, Palawan 2. Panglao, Bohol 3. Vigan, Ilocos Sur 4. Batanes 5. Cebu 6. Malaysia 7. Singapore 8. Sydney, Australia 9. Paris, France 10. New Zealand(I'd like to visit my favorite aunt) 11. Maldives 12. Carribean 13. Italy 14. Greece 15. Germany 16. Switzerland 17. Las Vegas, USA 18. Hawaii 19. Canada 20. Tokyo, Japan etc...

I've been to New York City, Chicago, Las Vegas and Hawaii and I hope that you will get to go sometime as each one of them is a fabulous place in its' own right. Please add Laguna Beach or Malibu in Southern California and you will see all of the dolphins that you would like to see. I'm not sure about swimming with the whales but we do have a lot of whale watching trips off of our coast. So many places on your list appeal to me. I would like to visit Italy, France (probably more the countryside although I suppose that everyone must see Paris), england, Australia and Monaco. I also would love to visit the Atlantic Maritime provinces of Canada, particularly Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy region. I think that I would like to visit Alaska again as well. I think that I will throw New Zealnad on to the list as long as I'm dreaming. One of the great places on the 1000 places list is the Ice Hotel. There's one in Canada and one in Europe I believe. The entire hotel is built each year out of ice. Of course when the weather warms it melts so each year it is quite unique. Quite expensive but what an experience. I hope that you get to travel to every one of the places on your list.

woo, long long list. I'm in China, though I'm not from Beijing city. The Great Wall is the most impressive attraction I believe among many places in Beijing. The moment you stand on it, the feeling is so complex that it is beyong my humble word.

I would like to tour my own country first before going further, but since I'm abroad i might be giving my list here in not particular order: 1.) Boracay,Philippines - I like to enjoy the sea and see the white sand beaches. 2.) Pearl farm, Davao - i've seen a picture of a friend going here and it was really beautiful with lots of colorful peacock. 3.) Sagada Mountain- It's in far north, mountain province and i wanted to see this wonderful place with how native people bury their loved ones in a different way. 4.) Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy- I only see this on movies and pictures, how i like to see it in reality. 5.) Taj Mahal, India- I am now in India but haven't visited this place yet. 6.) Eifel Tower, Paris- The romantic place Paris. I would also like to visit this some day. 7.) Stonehenge- Like most people do tour this site, i wonder how it was built. 8.) Rio de Janeiro- I wanted to see the big statue of Jesus Christ there. 9.) The Great Wall of China- One of the ancient wonders of the world. 10.) Egypt- The pyramids of Egypt and the Great Sphinx is one of the tourist spots in the world. 11.)

I want to visit some places too ,but not the wishes beforing die,that's the wishes for my marriage. Yunnan (china ),Hawaii,New Zealand ,it is said a garden city! Although it is economic crisis, I decide to visit one of them. Enjoy life!

I am very into traveling. I think everyone should have their own personal list based on what they like, and try to see as many places from that list as possible.
