What places on the list are you dying to visit?  

I can't wait to one day hike the Grand Canyon!  And I've always wanted to do the Great Wall of China Marathon.  Probably not going to happen any time soon thought! 

What places are your favorite?? 

 My favorite place would have to be Pompeii - although I didn't appreciate it at the time.  I also love Big Ben and anything in London.  I'd love to go back to Europe one of the days!

What's missing?

I'm surprised they didn't put Neuschwanstein Castle (Germany) on the list or the Fjords, Norway.  I've been to Neuschwanstein Castle before (and it's beautiful) but I've never been to Fjords - looks beautiful though!
