No interest in going to any of the letter "A" continents. Although I'd like Australia, I don't want to sit on an airliner that long!

Europe (and of course, Antartica). Europe sounds soooooo incredibly boring! I like going to third-world nations.

Europe...I've been to Russia and it was fascinating, and OK, I would also like to see Greece...but the world is so Euro-centric that it gets annoying. I'm more of a fan of exotic cultures/places that I don't know much about, such as those in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Islands (Australia, New Zealand included). And while I despise cold weather, I'd still love to see Antarctica.

I will admit I took the poll, and felt guilt. But I too have to agree, if I had to pick just one, Antarctica would be the top of that list. However, I don't care for anywhere that is too cold, or excessive snow. A bit sad, considering there are places of great beauty, that are incredibly cold.

So.. after I have traveled absolutely everywhere else.... then perhaps I could do it. Perhaps.. and immediately followed with somewhere tropical!

I like cold and snowy weather, but in Antarctica there's only snow and ice and nothing else - no vegetation, no buildings (apart from ugly bases), very few animals. Seriously, except penguins, there's nothing interesting in Antarctica, so it should be excluded from the poll.

Antarctica Cruise Planning

I'd go in a NY minute if I could afford it! But there are other places I'd visit first. Africa, especially.

Africa is probably the continent I'm least interested in visiting. I'd even be more interested in visiting Antarctica than Africa.

I actually didn't vote because there's no place on this list that I would not visit.

However, you could give me a free trip to Russia and I'd probably pass. Only place I've ever traveled that I seriously disliked.
