Hmmm. Here are places I love and encourage others to visit and also a list of places that intrigue me to visit!

You should visit PORTUGAL because it is the oft skipped over part of Europe by most American tourists and only because they do not know what a treasure it is!! Portugal is LOVELY and the culture is rich and warm. There are a million things to see and do and, oh, such yummy food to eat! I've lived there. I love it there so much. Eu tenho saudades.

I also believe everyone should visit a third world country and see how others live to better appreciate our rich blessings. My experience in West Africa has done that for me.

Places that intrigue me:

Italy--to see the places and artwork that I've studied and loved for years! And que romantico!

Egyptian pyramids--didn't used to, but as we study them in our family, we're all fascinated!

Japan--to see places my husband has been and visit people and eat my very favorite cuisine!! SUSHI!!

USA trip, world trip, it's all good. :)

You should visit Japan because it is an entirely different world, but is rapidly becoming more and more Western all the time. It's sort of sad to see the wonderful aspects of the "older" culture disappearing, but at the same time it is an extremely interesting fusion of modern and ancient (think Buddhist temples and skyscrapers). The food is fantastic, too.
