Where haven't you been yet? What would you like to see there? (hotel, estates)

[Chava61]

Places that I would like to go to include the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Key West and New Orleans.

[Pine to Vine]

I feel very fortunate to have been able to visit all 50 states and 7 provinces along with many US national parks (one of my favorite places to explore). There are a still quite a few places I have never been, however, that are on my list to hopefully visit one day. Some of them are listed below.

As far as cities go:
1. Memphis - I'd really like to explore Beale Street, eat some Memphis ribs and just explore the architecture.
2. Minneapolis - I've heard the lakes in town are just beautiful and in summer, it's great place to live your life outdoors. I'd like to see this for myself, plus check out neighboring St. Paul.

As far as states and provinces go:
1. Newfoundland - We love rugged coasts and pounding surf. One of our best trips ever was two weeks in Nova Scotia and we return to Acadia National Park on the Maine coast every fall. Newfoundland just beckons.
2. The Big Island of Hawaii - We were surprised earlier this year to discover just how beautiful Maui is. Should we make it that far again, our destination is the Big Island. I would like to see all the nature and the active volcano spilling lava into the sea.

As far as national parks go:
1. Glacier National Park - It's remote and difficult to get to, but the pictures look spectacular.
2. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (see Big Island above).

I'd like to spend the rest of my life walking Alaska on foot .
I have lived in the mountains many years and love all the seasons and adverse weather and long nights .
There are times I would strike out in the middle of a storm and go hiking, I felt so at home .
I love being close to wild life and learning their nature and discovering their secrets of survival.
Favorite movie " never cry wolf."
I love wolf song, and the raw and real struggle for life.
I love to dive as well and observe sea life and the curiosity of fish when your in the water with them.
I find that when animals know that you are not a threat, they become curious and sometimes friendly.
Learning to read body language and the way they communicate and such is so cool.
I'm not a biologist or botanist ,or even naturalist, I collect books on the subjects but I just love the wild .

If you like rocky shores and pounding surf, you will surely love the Big Island my friend! In contrast to the grey granite found on the Maine Coast, you'll find black lava rock ledges and cliffs (you probably saw that in Maui I'm sure, but the Big Island has it in abundance). Also as most of the Big Island's shores are rocky and sandy beaches are few, among them are black sand beaches and gorgeous Hapuna Beach which is a stunning stretch powder white sand bookended by lava rock ledges. It's among the very best beaches in the Hawaiian Islands for sure. When I was on the Big Island I had lunch at a vanilla bean plantation, went horseback riding trotting past waterfalls, ziplining through tropical forests, an experienced some of the best snorkeling imaginable. I love, love, LOVE the Big Island! Definitely add it to your bucket list.

I got the big rocky island of Newfoundland on my bucket list too, along with a pub crawl in St. John's.

Some places that I've never bee (or been only briefly or when I was very young) and have always fascinated me are - in no particular order -

1. Northern California - in particular Marin County and more specifically, Monterrey.

2. Salt Lake City Utah - It looks like a beautiful city and a visit to Temple Square is on my bucket list. The pioneer aspect of SLC and the surrounding mountains attract me. Also, while I'm not LDS, there are many LDS people in SLC. Most seem exceptionally nice and interested in showing their city to others.

3. Texas. All of it. I have been there twice (Austin 20 years ago on business, and and San Padre Island with my parents eons ago) It's culturally very different from the Northeast, New England ad the Midwest. That interests me.
Also, second to California, I have more unmet Facebook friends from Texas than from any other state.

4. Michigan's Northern Peninsula - it just looks beautiful! Those "Pure Michigan" commercials are sheer genius!

5. Nova Scotia - I've never been there and it looks very beautiful and very much like the British Isles. A must see for me.

6. New Orleans - I've only been to Baton Rouge. Also ages ago. NOLA seems like another country within the US.

7. Toronto because I want to. My days of watching "The Kids in the Hall" have had their effect.

8. Memphis - "Home of Elvis and the Ancient Greeks".

9. Nashville - Music City, Sun Records. No more to say.

10. Ashvillle NC - it sounds like a slice of heaven.

OK - This^^^ along with your pix almost had me booking a flight right now.

Good, positive thread! Thanks, OP!

The furthest north I've been is Pittsburgh. My husband and I are planning a trip to New England, starting in Boston, next year. I have ancestors who played prominent roles in both sides of the Salem witch trials so I can't wait to see that area too. Then we're going to drive up the coast of New England till we run out of United States! So I am very excited about that.

I would also love to see the North West - Montana probably - in the summer time.

And a bit further down my list, but definitely in my top three is the Great Lakes.

We have such a beautiful, amazing country. I could spend the rest of my life traveling it and never see all the sights.

Still haven't gone to New Orleans, and I would also really love to just kick it all around New Mexico.

I used to have a hankering to check out the desert scene in the Southwest, like Joshua Tree NP or the Moab, but I find myself not very interested in that as of late.
