Travel Top 3 Travel Destinations

I just did a road trip of the west coast & I agree! That area was so beautiful.
Wow this is hard, top 3..that I like, that I think other people should see, that I would go back to again. I'll give it a try.
Russia--I loved it, but I loved the Hermitage Museum. One of my favorite museums in the world. I think St. Petersburg with the canals is prettier than Venice in the summer.
Brittany/Normandy France--would LOVE to live there someday, and working on that objective everyday. LOL.
Alaska--love the scenery, wildlife. But Montana comes in a close second.
It was hard to pick 3. I also love Maldives and Seychelles, and Finland, and Croatia and Paris shopping and HK shopping and eating, and Bora Bora and Chicago, Iceland, and South Africa.

#1: Italy
I find ancient rome (and all things romanesque, for that matter) to be extremely fascinating. Therefore, Rome and Pompeii are a must for me!
#2: Australia & New Zealand
I've been to Australia once (on the East Coast), but missed out on the West Coast, the Outback, and New Zealand. I definitely want to go back and hit all of these places b/c the scenery is gorgeous, I love the animals that are native to the areas, and the toilet water flushes backwards!
#3: Paris, France:
For the food, romance, and shopping, of course!

Thank you so much for sharing, Ladies! It is so fun and interesting to hear from each one of you! 
Mette: I'd love to go to Osaka one day!

boxermom: I've heard SO many good things about Chicago! I've also seen photos of their amazing architecture. I'd love to visit Chicago one day!
I've also read about their numerous awesome restaurants! On another note, what's good in Monterey Peninsula/Carmel? Never been there! Do fill me in - I'm curious!
dr. twiggers: The African Safari is also one of my To Do List! I reckon the documentary we see on TV doesn't do justice to the real deal!
Swanky Mama Of Three & Cait: I went to Venice a couple of years back. Love it there

Longchamp & sweetfacespout: Alaska would be a sight to behold! I've heard that the cruises to Alaska is awesome!
cakegirl: The food in Spain is TDF! Aaahh...I'm reminiscing all the tapas and the paellas I had in Barcelona and Valencia now! The Spaniards are extremely friendly too.

TYRA, Chicago is fabulous! All the great shopping is within walking distance on North Michigan Avenue and Oak St. Interspersed with great restaurants and hotels as well as so many museums and you are on the lakefront of Lake Michigan. You can eat in anything from nice cafes in Water Tower Place ( an urban vertical mall) to a French cafe a block off Mich. Ave. attached to the Peninsula Hotel to Spiagga, Pres. and Michelle *****'s favorite restaurant.
Sounds like several of us could go on and on about Monterey/Carmel! The scenery is unbelievable. On the 17-mile drive along the coast, every turn is a picture postcard. Monterey is home to Cannery Row, of John Steinbeck fame; Fishermen's Wharf, the Monterey Aquarium (world's best, IMO). Carmel is a unique town where the main *downtown* looks like something out of a fairytale--no chains or franchises; all indie shops and Hog's Breath Inn (Clint Eastwood's) for lunch. One the water, it's B&B heaven. For golfers it's nirvana--Pebble Beach being the most famous course. I'm sure I'm leaving things out. Fabulous scenery, history, shopping and climate. If money were no object, I'd live here or in San Francisco.
