OK, here's my own 10, with explanations, if needed:
1. Ride the ShinKanSen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Hiroshima, at 300+ MPH.
2. Hong Kong (to experience the densest population on Earth, at 2 million people/square mile).
3. Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota
4. "Custer's Last Stand" at the Little Big Horn River in Montana. (I wanna see where that famous act of Caucasian Stupidity occurred.)
5. McMurdo Sound, the USA installation at Antarctica
6. La Paz, Bolivia, at 11,000+ feet, the highest national capital on Earth, known as "Instant Headache City" because you get a slight and brief headache, as you exit the aircraft.
7. San Juan, Costa Rica (I have some friends who live there, and who keep bugging me to visit.)
8. Belize (I'm thinking of retiring there, one day.)
9. ALL of "Route 66," just driving it from one end to the other, Chicago IL to Santa Monica CA.
10. Walt DisneyWorld®, St. Cloud, Florida
I've got about 30 more places, but I'll set the example and limit myself to 10, as I requested others do.

by bagicide stayed 10 months too long on October 24th, 2009
More than anything, I want to follow the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Trail" that is, see all the places they lived. Top of that list is the Wilder homestead in Burke, NY. Not much survives of their homesteads, but the Wilder Homestead is one of two houses in the books that still stands, the other being the surveyor's house on Silver Lake.
I want to see New England, and particularly, I want to visit a friend in New Hampshire, whom I haven't seen in nearly twenty years.
I've been up and down much of the East Coast and into Canada when I was working with carriage horses. But I've never been more than 200 miles west of where I am now. I've never seen the Mississippi. I would love to take a boat trip from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. Not to see New Orleans, but to experience the river and the cities along it as they were originally conceived. The river was the point of entry for most cities when they were built.
I am more than a little frightened of deserts. I have a deep respect for how difficult and marginal life is there. I have no desire to die of thirst, so I'm really not interested in seeing the Southwest. But I would really like to see the Northwest and North Central parts of the country. I have a deep fascination with the Dakotas and Montana. I read I Heard the Owl Call My Name when I was a kid, and would love to see Washington, Oregon and British Columbia and see some of the range of those tribes.
My Grandparents rode the TransCanada when I was a kid and loved it so much they did it again the next year. I've wanted to do the same ever since. The TransCanada is much shortened now, but I'd still like to see it.
Elsewhere, I'd love to see the ancestral homes of my family, in Germany, France, Switzerland and Ireland. I'd also like to see our home diocese in Uganda. Several from our church have been there, and I've heard so many stories from them that I'd like to see it, although it would take a leap of faith on my part.

Excellent choices!! I'd also like to visit Custer’s last stand & your No 5 too, sounds like a real adventure there, also do the Route 66,thing also, we have the A66 where I am!! :-/ not the same I'm sure!! :-)
by Scooby on October 24th, 2009
I like your list.
La Paz is the highest if you don't count Lhasa in Tibet.
I've seen Mt. Rushmore. It's worth the trip.
I think a lot of Route 66 is gone now.
Take tons of money for WDW.
by kybear on October 24th, 2009
Wow, good list. At one time, it was a goal of mine to drive round trip around the US. Stopping by certain sights as I drove.
by Matrixbarf on October 24th, 2009
I can't believe I didn't think of Mt. Rushmore! This is a great list.
by gradyjones on October 24th, 2009
Mount Rushmore is pretty cool!
by FreshApples on October 24th, 2009
Nice list. I'd like to visit some of those places also. Just didn't have enough room with only 10 to list! Thanks!
by Marguerite on October 24th, 2009
@kybear: "Lhasa, the administrative capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region in China. This lovely city is situated at the foot of Mt. Gephel with an altitude of 11,450 feet or 3,490 meters making it the 4th highest city in the world."
.
"La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia, with an altitude of 12,008 feet or 3,660 meters -is the highest capital city in the world."

All of the old "Route 66" still exists. I double-checked.
by Anonymous on October 24th, 2009
Amazing pictures on your link, especially Quito, Peru! Thanks! I've been on Route 66 in New Mexico. I also like to see views of the monasteries hanging off the cliffs in Tibet. I'd have to have oxygen to visit there.
by Marguerite on October 24th, 2009
"Quito, Peru"
.
Did you mean Quito, Ecuador or Cuzco, Peru?
by Brian on October 24th, 2009
I agree with Marguerite- there are some breathtaking pix in your link.
.
I love the ones of the world's highest cities- La Rinconada, Peru (the land of my wife's people), and Wenzhuan, China.
.
What intrigues me about the Wenzhuan pic is that there's no snow and plenty of vegetation, even in the peaks towering above the town.
.
I've been in the Annapurna part of the Himalayas and it seemed that the timberline there was about 15,000-16,000 feet.
by Brian on October 24th, 2009
Quito, qhatever, Brian! Ok, it's Ecuador. I was just so excited about those pictures, I didn't know where I was. They rock, don't they?
by Marguerite on October 24th, 2009
Route 66! A great ride my friend. Did it in 92. Didn't have alot of time to sight see, was on a mission to get to Ca. Will do it again for sure some day when I have more time.
