Travel Adventures.
Our wedding on Wilson Island!
I would walk the El Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
My dream vacation would be a long one and one that probably never ends!
Top of my list would be New Zealand and Galapagos. Then, Fiji. Then, I would want to tackle Asia, one country at a time!
(My officemate is in Ethiopia right now!)
The top of my dream list is to visit the poles. I doubt I'll ever have the $25K to get to the North Pole, let alone the $35K to reach the South Pole.
On a more realistic scale, but still extremely unlikely, I want to go to Inaccessible Island. Even just Tristan da Cunha would be nice.
Bora Bora
Italy
Croatia
New Zealand
Germany
Right now I'd love to go to the NFC Championship game this weekend!
My broader travel wish list is:
Summer Olympics (preferably somewhere in Asia)
Seeing Weezer in Japan (going to Japan this summer so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they plan some shows for then)
Cooking classes in Italy -- week or so.
Chocolate trip to the Hershey spa and Ben & Jerry's factory
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.

Come visit us! Unless you're a Giants fan. Then you can stay home.
H and I have a (probably unrealistic) retirement dream of doing one of Cunard's World cruises. The ones that last 3 months ago to all the way around the world.
We do hope to spend our retirement taking wonderful vacations (the ILs are doing that now and I'm jealous!! They've recently gone on a cruise of the Panama Canal and a river cruise on the Danube.
Dream Vacation: taking DH to Scandinavia to see the midnight sun.
And I want to check off as many of the UNESCO World Heritage and Olympic Games sites as possible, but I do not want to plan my vacations around those goals.
But really I just want a cruise. It's been nearly 20 months since I have been on a cruise and I am seriously suffering cruise withdrawal.
