I'm surprised Bermuda isn't on more wish lists for people who haven't been there yet. I've been to a decent amount of the Caribbean islands (my boyfriend SERIOUSLY likes to go on cruises), but not sure any of them really give Bermuda a serious run for its money.

I was under the impression that cruises didn't count as you didn't spend a night there?

If they count I have lots more to add

Depends on the cruise. We spent 3 nights berthed in Bermuda.

I didn't read the "rules" that closely, but I included any place where I actually spent at least a couple of hours doing something in that location. I never spent the night in Amsterdam, but I took 4-5 trips there (while living in Belgium), so I certainly consider that I've travelled to/visited the Netherlands.

If Vatican City isn't really a country, then the Cayman Islands (British Overseas Territory) certainly aren't.

Did you really spend a night in Vatican City?

I suspect most people who've been to Monaco haven't spent a night there, unless playing in the casino counts, but I am surprised you never stayed there for the Pokercast.

No strip clubs for the 2+2 crowd.

Great in the Spring or Fall, but not warm enough in the Winter.

You can say the same thing about any country/territory far enough north.

Guess I can't argue about the lack of strip clubs, tho. Not something I personally noticed.

Drove to Mongolia (and back) from the UK a couple of years ago with my brother (amazing trip). Went
UK
France
Italy
Slovenia
Croatia
Hungary
Roumania
Bulgaria
Turkey
Georgia (mental nearly got kidnapped I strongly suspect)
Azerbaijan >> Caspian Sea on a container ship)
Turkmenistan
Uzbkistan
Tajikistan - up to the border with Afghanistan
Kyrgystan
Kazakhstan
Russia
Mongolia

Then drove back with somebody else across Russia
Ukraine
Poland
Germany (where I jumped on a plane to England).

Been to India Spain the odd other place

Used to play music and have been to most European countries, Japan (Fuji Rock Festival) and the odd other place. Had at least 3 trips to the US cancelled at the last minute unfortunately would like to go.

Intend cycling to or from Eastern Russia via India China and Iran within the next year. (Hopefully bonus whoring poker sites will pay for it... We will see.

Could write a few trip reports I suppose - we were very unprepared for the car trip. Had a nissan micra going there and a 25 year old lada coming back. Neither cars are particularly suitable, although the micra was better than expected, it just had no ground clearance with is bad when you are off-roading over a georgian mountain/fording rivers etc.

Top 5 wishlist would be:
Back To India
Russia
China
US
Probably back to Georgia loved it there, or Iran, Or back to Tokyo....

Really? How can a country with an official anthem of "God Save the Queen" not have strip clubs?
