OK I've been to New Zealand where I currently live, but I use to live in Wales, UK with family there but I've been all over the place in the UK, London, Scotland, Manchester and if I've got enough money saved this year I might be going back there for a few weeks.

I've been to hawaii when i was like 2/3, so I don't remember much of it and I also stopped off at Australia between flights for 10 mins, but you can't hardly call that going to Australia.

Australia

Sydney (of course - it's where I live!)
Melbourne
Perth
Gold Coast


America (I went on a big trip almost 7 years ago when I was 11 almost 12)

LA
Anaheim
San Diego
San Francisco (no offense to anyone if they live there, but when I went almost 7 years ago I thought it was a hole....but Alcatraz was cool)
Las Vegas
Phoenix
Lake Tahoe
Boston
New York
Philadelphia
Washington DC
Orlando
Jacksonville (now there's another place that's a hole - again no offense to anyone if they live there)
New Orleans
Grand Canyon

(There were more places, but they were only small places I think)

The Caribbean

This was on a 4-5 day cruise that we took...if there's one place you must go to in the world, then go there.....very beautiful!

Mexico

Tijuana

(On a day trip from San Diego - frightened the hell out of me having beggars haggling me in the street!)

New Caledonia and Vanuatu

On a cruise again in the middle of winter....we were expecting a lot of sunshine, but instead we got a crappy boat, seasick ppl and lots of cloud and rain...Port Vila was the only place where we got sunshine I think...

:lol: I'm expecting you all to be surprised here....my mum has caught the travel bug now and keeps looking up places to go....hopefully her and I will get to go to Singapore in February (she was going to take me to Bali and Singapore after I'd finished school + exams, but then of course the Bali incident happened and we didn't end up having enough money) and we're hoping one day to go for a white Xmas overseas!

I follow my mother when she goes on business trips, hmm, so some of the places I've been to in the UK- London, Coventry, Gravesend, Canterbury, York, Bracknell... all these really exciting destinations, of course. Then abroad to Paris, Barcelona, Rome, Rotterdam, Vire in Normandy, Ciudadela in Menorca. Then more recently Malaga, Benalmadena & Gibraltar altogether in the year that's just gone, oh and I went to Jersey a while before that.

My favourite destinations were Cologne during the christmas markets and Crete because it's a lot warmer than here, but there's still a lot to be said for trips that don't involve flying. I never leave the continent, yet, but next year I'm hopefully going to Ontario and I'll be really irritated if I never go to Pennsylvania.

Heh, I managed to make that look so much more full than it would be in a list.
Deadline? What deadline?

Well you've been to all the places that I haven't been to!! Don't forget that I've only been to 5 countries (well technically only 4 - I didn't step off the boat when we went to New Caledonia) and you've been to 7, so that makes 2 more than me!
