Random places you have always wanted to visit

For some strange reason I have always wanted to go to Iceland. The country not the supermarket:D, I remember seeing it on Wish You Were Here years ago and thinking it looked interesting.

I also really fancy visiting the Isles of Scilly. Don't ask me why, but they look quaint. As does Sark in the Channel Islands.

    Tokyo. Not really random, and I don't really know why I want to go, but I've wanted to for ages...:confused:

    I've always wanted to got to the Isles of Scilly too. Ever since I read the book 'The Wreck Of The Zanzibar' in primary school.
    I've also always wanted to travel around Italy, especially Florence, Venice and Verona.
    Oh, and I've always wanted to go to Jamaica. If I ever go to do there I don't think I would want to go back home.

    Timbuktu.

    When I was a kid, my mother used to say things like "Where've you been, Timbuktu?" if I was back late, or if I came home grubby. I used to think she'd made it up. :)

    Sark is nice. Been there when i was a kid. Lovely scenery and no cars to spoil it, that said, it's all walkable in about 30 mins tops so there's no need for cars.

    Thanks. :) I suppose it's the whole Japan experience, really. I'd love to visit one of those Zen rock garden things. They look very calming! ;)

    Although I've been to LA, I flew. I have always wanted to go to America; the first leg by liner from Southampton to NY, then by train to Chicago, then Seattle, then down the pacific coast to San Francisco/Montorey.
    Just waiting fot the lottery.

    I know and thats what makes it so appealing. It just looks sooo quaint! I feel the same about Scilly Isles too. They were featured in that programme 'An Island Parish'. It just looks so pretty and oldy wordly.

    I also forgot to metion Jersey, Guernsey, The Isle of Man and The Norwegian Fjords in my original post.

    Albaquerque

    I have no idea why, I just like the sound of it.

    And Alaska. So many men, so little to do.

    Isles of Scilly for me too! I don't know anything about the place. But since researching a bit of family history recently, I discovered a relative of my Mum's was killed just off the coast there in the First World War. So I suppose I want to see it and make a 'connection', I don't know.

    Plus, anywhere in Northumberland/North Yorkshire, especially walks along Hadrian's Wall. I love anything historical :)

    I would like to go everywhere. Sadly due to the sectarian violence in the world that is not possible without endangering your life :(
