For a long long time, the Acropolis in Athens was on my bucket list -- although back then, it wasn't called "the bucket list." As a child, there was a children's picture book that showed a boy visiting all the great sites in the world. (How he went around the world, I can't remember.) The one that was the most fascinating to me was the Acropolis -- and the Parthenon on top -- in Athens. Wanted to go there since. It wasn't until I was in my 30s that I finally visited.

Might be my favorite place in the world. Just something about knowing people have been walking around up there for over 2000 years. But I like Greece, period.
Not sure where I'd go if I could go somewhere I've never been. The Alps maybe. It's always been night when I've been anywhere near them.
Down the Rhine would be another.
Akron.

Going to Normandy in May. Also Paris and Berlin, but I’m most excited about Normandy.
Greece-never has a desire to go there. For some reason, “dirty” comes to mind.

I think I would enjoy "theme" travel, e.g., all the missions of California. The ones people are most familiar with are the TV themed ones like visiting all the on-location sites of Game of Thrones. There may even be a Harry Potter tour. I personally did the Jesus tour on my own when I was in Israel -- visited Nazareth (Mary's Well where Mary was told by the angel Gabriel that she would give birth to the Son of God), the Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem (many Jesus-related sites there) incl. Golgotha, place of where his dead body was placed, etc. I'm not a believer at all but it was still interesting to me to physically see and occupy the places where the alleged "Son of God" allegedly walked around. I'd do the same for Muhammad. To me, such religion-themed travel would be treated like a fictional novel themed travel, e.g., visiting all the sites mentioned in the Sherlock Holmes novels. And for azvb, I think a Joseph Smith-themed or Brigham Young-themed tour would also be a lot of fun. In the case of Smith and Young, it would be more of a history-themed tour instead of a religion-themed tour because I would think that their travels are more recent and well-documented, in contrast to Jesus and Muhammad whose travels have approached mythically fake levels.

I’ve done the Joseph Smith, Brigham Young tours. Northern parts of New York State (beautiful), Kirkland OH, Nauvoo, ILL, and of course Salt Lake City. Visited some Amish communities in ILL, MO while we were there. Spent 10 days in Israel. Had an LDS tour guide and a Jewish guide. Really interesting. So much to take in. I’d like to go back. This trip my husband and I are taking is sort of a WWII themed trip. Normandy, Paris, Berlin. We did the Winston Churchill bunker last time we were in London. Pretty cool.
