So the other day I was really wanting to be on a vacation. I am talking, anywhere. I could care less. I would go to the beaches here in Texas if I had to. But later that night, after I really thought about it, I came up with a short list of places that I really want to go to someday. Hopefully, I will eventually have this elusive money stuff so that I can go on quite a few great vacations. But until then, I will just post beautiful pictures on my blog…





So those are the places I would go to if I had the money. I don’t yet, but eventually, I will. Where would you visit if you had the money?
1. All the islands in the West Indies.
2. Fiji
3. Alaska
4. New Zealand
5. Indonesia
Your choices are so different to mine. I’ve never been to Europe, so my top two are France and Italy. Also, Hawaii is always a favorite place of mine.
I’m back from Israel 2 weeks ago and I liked this country. But I’m not understand about Moscow -imho is not pleasant city
Nice places! Interesting picks.
Israel: You may be either Christian, Jewish, or interested in one of these religions.
Alaska: Going towards the wilderness and the snow. Search of the wild nature and pristine untouched nature.
French Polynesia: Going to a very much visited place, warm weather, Ocean, French speaking tourists.
Prague and Moscow: Cultural places, with long history, and the other side of Europe. Less touristic, yet full of culture.
A well balanced choice. Have a nice trip!
@Nicole: Interesting picks! It seems like you could knock out 90% of your list on 1 trip!
@Xeldec: Hawaii would also be on my list, but I didn’t want to include a place in the country that I live in.
@ssn: I guess Moscow to me just has this bleak charm and some amazing architecture.
@Emrick: Thanks for the psychoanalysis! You have confirmed my suspicion that I am crazy.
That is the whole idea! Can’t keep traipsing off every now and then can one?
Oh. I love Hawaii. Sometimes the best places are just right there in your own backyard.
yeh, all are great places.
i would add singapore too
Wow, nice pick. Personally, I would love to travel to - Tibet, China, Alaska, Italy and Russia
1. Egypt
2. Barcelona
3. Honk Kong
4. Alaska
5. Rome
I had visited Prague a few years ago. I was a great decision. Try to visit Romania as well. Great views.
Moscow is kinda noisy place.
The choices surprised me!
I certainly would have expected Monaco to be right up there, or at the very least, Menton and Lake Como.
These are all beautiful places to visit and I’m sure you will enjoy some of them one day.
My only comment is having just returned from the
Cook Islands it is an unspoilt paridise much cheaper quieter and in some ways better than French Polynesia
I can see your heart is set on Tahiti or Bora Bora but my alternative is definitely the Cook Islands (an unspoilt paridise if such a thing still exists)
Happy travells Robert
Life is short, better enjoy it!
The Caribbean is awe inspiring one of the most beautiful places, not so much the bigger commericial islands but the smaller out of the way ones; Bermuda, Mustique, Nevis etc.
I like you wish to see Moscow, the culture and history fascinate me, altough I confess to not hearing the best things.
These are great pictures! I have only been to Alaska. I have a cousin who is a fisherman and I spent a month working on his boat. It was a great experience, would not want to do it full time though!
French Polynesia? Interesting choice. What motivated that one?
Since writing my above comment, I have catching up with a number of travelogues and East Europe seems to offer a great deal of hidden and low profile places to visit.
even I would have liked to visit these places
I think its not ‘if we had money’ but more like ‘when we have money!’
Anyway when I can afford it I would like to visit Philadelphia and climb the steps just like Rocky Balboa!
Good post! Dream and your dreams will come true! Oh, if I had money I would go to Moon first, are you with me?:)
>> I guess Moscow to me just has this bleak charm and some amazing architecture.
Yes, in Moscow there interesting buildings - as beatiful and as menacing
French Polynesia looks like that pic came straight out of pirates of the caribeen. that totally just became one of my top spots now. thanks
Please be careful in Moscow:)
i’m with you on prague. it used to be quite the central location and seat of power a long time ago. so there is grandeur in that place.
All the places you have choosen to visit are great. I have also list of my favourate place to visit. Hope I will visit that places very soon.
It was interesting to see Moscow show up at the end of that listing. Alaska, based on that picture, looks like it could be on another planet. The French Polynesian island looks like a positive place to have a picnic.
:))
How about Kuta, Bali (Indonesia) it’s a good place to visit too
I visited St Petersburg last year!! It is wonderful city! There are so many beautiful buildings, that I can’t to see everything, that I wanted! (( I advise all to visit this remarkable city!
I would love to visit Alaska, right now, my favorite is Beijing:)
I did some of the world …but not Tibet !
And Indonesia for sure !!!
Come to us in russia =)
Best of luck for your jounry.
Interesting picks!

1.Austria
2.The Maldives

Beautiful, beautiful pictures. I am sure you will be able to add a lot more pictures when becomes a no issue. 5 places are just not enough. What do you say?
I like to see far east.
Awesome places.
Real Estate Caribbean
I DO have money, so I DO go everywhere. My favorite place in the world is Japan though.
Interesting picks! how about adding Bali (Indonesia) as one of your destination
An interesting pick of places. I would have thought Moscow would be too cold for me.
I think 5 is too less a number. If I had the money I would keep traveling and do nothing. Nothing better than to see new places and meet new people.
I have been to Israel and Prague on your list. But I am also European.
My top 5 would be:
1. Mount Everest
2. Japan
3. Iceland
4. Kenya
5. Canada or Northern US
I like to go skiing everywhere in the world.
Israel would definitely be at the top of my list, and I’d also love to see both Alaska and Hawaii.
if i had money i’ll visit:
1. makkaa
2. taj mahal
3. bali
4. alaska
5. yellowstone
If I had money I will visit :
2. Hawaii << beautful beach as Bali
3. Makkaa << as I’m a moslem here
5. Singapore << cool metropolitan city
1. Bali (Indonesia) << the best my favorite place
4. New York << I want to go there one day
I want to visit Prague too. I don’t know where that started (I think it was because of a Vin Diesel movie I saw a couple of years back). I have a couple of places I want to go to, I just can’t get them on paper (or on my blog) because when I do start writing, I have too much on my mind. And yeah, a list of five is too little.
How about the Moon
Day Dreaming. LoL, But I’m serious, space travel would soon be available for masses.
Make it a point that you visit all those places.
Just to bring to ur notice David, that your “Top commentator” plugin is being hacked. Its showing up wrong urls. Please check into that.
I remember reading about a remedy patch for this but can’t recall exactly where I read about that.
thx.
My list would be:
1. Las Vegas
2. Great Barrier Reef
3. Venice
4. Dubai
5. Iceland
Well, all you guys have posted dream destinations, no doubt about that. But we all need to action to fulfill our dreams and wishes into reality.
Here is my Top 5:
1. Rio
2. Switzerland
3. Moscow
4. Las Vegas
5. Tokyo
1. Galapagos Islands
2. Cook Islands
3. The Netherland Antilles
4. Maldives
5. Austrailia
You may also visit our very own, Boracay. (Must visit during summer)
It is hard to make a top 5, so I am just going to go with my #1 which is Brazil!!!
Well, I simply love Tenerife - the Canarian Island.
I would visit Rio. Copacobana beach would be great.
I love San Francisco, really great place.
Seems a lot of people have common dream destination. Rio for me too. I feel a lot has to do with age if ur dreaming to go Rio. Shooting Hormones. Right?
One word of advice to those that want to visit Rio in Brazil. Be very careful, it is actually a very dangerous city! Some parts of Rio is actualy more dangerous than some parts of New York City. I know this because I am originally from Brazil. But.. it is true that Rio has nice beaches, and beautiful ladies and great food
Stay safe,
Jean
@used tires

Japan has gotta be on the list!
Ok and Japan…
Great places, I haven´t been to Israel nor to Moscow. The other 3 were great!
Heard rumors you are making plans for a visit to Paris. True? Have you given thought to maybe land in Paris, take the TGV to Monaco and spend three glorious days in Monte Carlo?
In summer, I’d like to visit Alaska, right now I’m craving Hawaii, have always been in love with Switzerland and Ireland, Egypt is a must, Slovenia is not that well-known although breathtakingly beautiful, Cyprus has stolen my heart during a short visit, England and France are classics… and my list goes on and on. Every country and culture has something unique to offer - if only we keep our hearts and minds open…
How beautiful! If you do not mind, I share the dream to visit these places.
No doubt about i gonna do same, if i got enough money to go for all the places and also i wanna do World Tour once in a life, but only question from where to get such amount of money at least need luck for lottery
That,s places is include in my list.
Las vegas
New zealand
New york
Japan
That,s the most memorable places in the world too …..Parties Places - Fun Places - History Places -
I would like to travel the Europe completely..if I have money
Great list of places, they all sound so beautiful! I, myself, would love to visit Alaska. My mother in law traveled there when she was younger with her friends in a van all the way from Pittsburgh. She said back then there was only a gravel road so it was a rough ride. I heard now they have a road there, but no worries because I would be flying anyhow ;-).
Awesome list of Places, Sure we will get visit in future just need burning desire to achieve dreams.
wow, amazing place, if have money must go there to see the real. sure if have money that is nice place to travel.
I would go to there too, best place to travel.
How about travelling to the space..
It’s worth it.:)
French Polynesia looks simply wonderful, I would love to be able to take my whole family there if I had the time and money.
great places.
I’ll do the same if I have the money
I do like traveling if I can afford it. And I choose this article to give a comment because I also plan to go to some places when I can earn some money through the internet. I prefer going to U.S.A (New York), Holland, India (Bombay, New Delhi, Bangalore), England, and Dubai. Let us pray that we can come to the places we want to.
All are really a great place to visit.
French Polynesia is very beautiful place. How about adding Komodo Island (Indonesia) as one of your destination?
