Your top three "Never Been But Hope to Go"?

We have been able to travel to so many great places that were on our someday list. But here goes.....

1.Alaska
2.Alaska
3.Alaska

Just kidding. Alaska is our dream trip. Always planned on getting there for our 25th but I went back to school and with tuition..... a trade to Kauai will suffice. Plus who wants to go to Alaska in April.

1. Alaska
2. Virgin Islands
3. St. Lucia
 
I hope you meant this as a joke. My relatives (who live in Finland) and I certainly don't have any problems visiting Russia, and would not want to discourage anyone from visiting there.

No, it was not a joke. I trust that, given your experience, you will now be encouraged on your next visits to Russia to include in your itinerary at least a couple of days on the historic Solovetsky islands, a winter excursion along the northern end of the White Sea canal, a boat trip to the mouth of the Pechora river and of course a mandatory guided tour of the Lubyanka.
In the event you may wish to extend your trips by thousands of miles east of the Urals I would be happy to offer a few other suggestions.
Good luck !

Mary, I have to agree.
Alaska is the only state I haven't visited. And I've always been fascinated with Machu Picchi and especially Egypt.

Alaska is a great destination . . . and while I would agree "APRIL" isn't a great month . . . I'd suggest MARCH!! I did Fairbanks this year in March when there is so much to experience . . . aurora borealis, int'l ice sculpting championships, North American Sled Dog Championships . . . and the Winter Ice Carnival. My friends and hubby thought I was completely off my rocker when I told them of my interest in Alaska in winter . . . but after my return and seeing my wonderful photos, they were all envious that they opted to stay home.

I also did Alaska last summer over the summer solstice, so we experienced the midnight sunset as well as all that is Alaska in the summer . . . fishing for King Salmon, Denali National Park and whale watching. (Hubby did go on that trip w/me!)

Once you do Alaska in one season, you may find yourself HAVING to do it again in the other one. That's what happened to me. Now I'm looking forward to my next trip almost as much as I look forward to returning to Hawaii later this summer.
 
Only three?!?!?!?!

It is difficult for me to pick only three, so I'll pick the top 3 with kids and the top three without!

With kids:
1. Bonita Springs/Ft. Myers FL Hyatt Coconut Plantation
2. Lake Tahoe in summer Marriott's Timber Lodge
3. Playa del Carmen (yet again) Royal Haciendas


Without kids:
1. St. Kitts/Nevis Marriott's St. Kitts Beach Club
2. Thailand Marriott's Phuket Beach Club
(Would love to follow it by a few days in Palau)
3. Dubai (The Royal palm club may actually be started by the time our youngest leaves in about 12 years-LOL!!!)


I could have a bigger list, but....
 
My Three

Greece

Austrailia

China or Russia
 
1. South Africa (Safari time)

2. Europe (starting with Italy and Spain)

3. Harborside Atlantis

4. Alaskan cruise
 
Alaska

Australia

London
 
Just 3 destinations?

2.Alaska
3. Inca / Aztec ruins in Mexico & Sth America
 
My husband and I were in St. Petersburg 3 weeks ago. We loved it. The architecture was beautiful. We stayed at the Corinthia Nevsky Palace. Would go back again in a heartbeat.
