Does anybody else have that Dream Destination...the place you dream of someday being able to explore? Living back in Illinois...my dream destination was Arizona...so now that I live here...I'd have to say that if I could go to one "dream" place, it would have to be New Zealand.

Anybody else have a dream destination?

I hadn't heard about it. I remember seeing an episode of Trailside on the Milford Track, a hike in New Zealand...stunning!

I've met a few adventure racers who've either lived there or visited there, and they say there is no place like it on earth.

I have a high interest in the wind river range in Wyoming. Particularly an area called Cirque of the Towers.

New Zealand is deffanatly one that i would love to go, but I really dont think I'll ever make it there. Wyoming is deffinatly more realistic.

Australia and New Zealand. Been to Scotland, wanted to go to the Highlands but didn't make it. Southern Scotland looks a lot like Wisconsin, I would love to see the rest of it!

Daddee, maybe a better question would be where do you NOT want to go. Crazy Laughing
