Really hard to narrow it down to 3 but if I have to-
1 Galapagos-swimming in a shoal of fish with the blue footed coughies collecting their food all around you,swimming eye to goggles with a juvenile sea lion,blue footed coughies and gannets doing their mating rituals at your feet.
2-Antarctica-just incredible.The ice,the penguins and being in Mawson's hut-fewer people have been there than the the number on the summit of Everest.
3-kayaking the Inside Passage,Alaska.Eye to eye with a humpback,humpbacks starting to bubble feed less than 100 metres away,the quiet broken only by whale songs,watching a bald headed eagle demonstrating how much better a fish gatherer it is compared to yourself.

But honorable mentions to Easter Island,Macquarie Island,Svalbad,NYC,Grand canyon,Niagara falls,Yosemite,the Badlands,Kremlin,Helsinki,The Mekong,Amazon etc,etc,etc.

To visit-1-African Game park
2-Iceland.

1. Ross Ice Shelf - Ross Sea, Antarctica
There is a silence and beauty and clam that is immensely empowering and inexplicable

Mother Nature doing what she does best - the circle of life.

I've been lucky enough to do many of the suggestions so I will only use those I haven't been to (yet )
African Safari
Alaska
Egypt/Nile cruise/Pyramids (might wait a couple of years for that trip!)

 

[Geegeela]

Of course there is more to a “trip” than the centre point.

London – still the centre of the world
Florence – culture in all its facets.
Blue Mountains – from Katoomba to Kanangra and all the surrounds.

 

[johnny_the_knife]

In no particular order:

1. Rock Bar Bali - I went there last night and was just stunned.
2. Torres del Piene (sp?) national park
3. Antarctic Penninsula

I think you all need to look beyond the simple ¨where¨, and contemplate the ¨how¨. Have been to Macchu Pichu, and it was good, but a mate and I plan to return there in style. There is a 4 day trek you can do which culminates in the grand entrance to the Macchu site at dawn via the Sun Gate. Sounds OK, but we plan to do that trek sitting in people-borne carriages like the ancients used to do. Carried by maidens in native bikinis. That is something to aim for.
