On a different discussion thread I got distracted from the conversation and launched into a tirade on where I'm going to go before I die. On my list so far (in no particular order) I have:

• Iguassu (the amazing falls in the rain forest between Brazil and Argentina)
• Back to The Baltic (Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) - Finland and Estonia were amazing. I want to see more of them, and their neighbors.
• Lake Biakal - largest freshwater body in the world, and a sea in its own right
• Mount Fuji (well, all of Honshu, in fact)
• The Great Rift Valley - One of the great tectonic plate intersections - a place where the land is being pulled apart, home of spectacular wildlife, incredible scenery, and several hundred volcanos
• The Great Barrier Reef - To dive here would be a dream. Preferably with a GOOD underwater camera
• Palau - ditto times two
• Iceland - midsummer holiday, when the sun never sets. Gulfoss and the blue lagoon, then a return for midwinter, when the sun never rises, to see the aurora.
• The Haggia Sophia Cathedral in Constantinople (no, not haggia sofia mosque in Istanbul - this is a religious thing)
• The ruins at Antioch (ditto: not the ruins at Antkya)
• As much as possible of Singapore
• Ditto for New Zealand
• The Forbidden City and Great Wall in Beijing
• Ankor Wat
• Key West, Florida (for diving, for sitting on the beach, for just being there)
• Antelope Spring, Utah: reportedly, this is some of the nicest North American fossil bed exposed to the general public - Eulethria kingii galore!

This is the current list, as well as I can remember it. It's a good enough version of the list that I think cross-posted it here. I'm up for suggestions of places I've left off, and why they should be included.
