You definately got me thinking about where I'd like to go and why. My dh went to Venice without me, on a business trip, but I think I still want to go. We want to go to Norway, there are some incredible mountains to see.
Thanks for the great idea to sue LISA for copyright infringement, lol.

This is a very interesting list. There are a lot of places there that I'd like to travel to as well.

When I was a child my family travelled a lot. We were the very first Americans to see some of the underground cities that were discovered in Cappadocia in Turkey. When we were there, they had been freshly discovered, and there were still artefacts laying on the ground. You could say that it was in a "pristine" state, much as the Galapagos should be.

Two weeks ago I saw a History channel presentation that showed those underground cities. I was apalled at all of the graphiti that had been carved into the walls by tourists. I hope the Galapagos haven't suffered a similar fate.

Great list - the world is such an amazing place, isn't it?

What a picturesque list.

You've chosen some really beautiful places.

BTW, I'm going to update my contest rules to say that I'm going to keep all the comments with answers hidden until I reveal the winner or until next Wednesday when I reveal the answers.

I'll give you credit for the one with a question mark, but are you sure you don't want to take a stab at #12?

You could wind up the winner.

What a well thought out list. I would agree with your reasons for visiting Iceland.

Oh, I love your choices!! Some of those didn't even occur to me, and definitely should have!
