Washington D.C. - because I am an American

New York City - because I want to see the Statue of Liberty

Israel - because I am a Christian and I want to see where Jesus lived.

Africa - because I love animals and would like to see them free instead of in cages.

Thailand - because there is a monastery there where the monks have virtually tamed a bunch of tigers. I am a cat lover, and consider tigers to be the king of that species. They are so beautiful. I would love to be able to actually touch one someday.

Colonial Williamsburg, I love American History

Washington DC again. It has been 56 years since I have been there.

Turtle River Lake, north of Bemidji MN. I want to see what they did with our resort. Heard it was cut up into lots and built on.

Yellowstone in the fall, I have never been there.

Royal Gorge, Colorado. Mom talked about the train all her life.



Of course, I would want to take my children, grandchildren and the older great granddaughters.

This is an interesting question. I will answer it NO. Now, that may seem strange to a few who expected me to say otherwise, but bear with me while I qualify myself. I promise it will be good. First, I just have to say something about the guy who down the board said JW's have 'no collection plate' yada yada yada... This kills me. Go into any Kingdom Hall. Look around. The room has four corners and there's a "contribution box" in every one of them. Wait till the speaker opens his mouth and rants about how you gotta fill it. Stay for the study and hear gawd tell ya via the watchtower how you gotta fill it. It's a sigh of relief to go to a church and have to deal with a single quiet plate going by. As far as watchtower and money, it's not the money. Money is only a means to an end. It's the POWER they want. Money is how you buy it. A rich guy doesn't care about how many dollars are in his bank account, he cares about how he can tell people what to do. Money does that for him. The rush he gets by controlling other people's lives. The feeling of superiority he derives from the power his money buys him. So, do they claw for money. YES. But it's what the money brings that the pseudo Governing Body is after. PS: When there's an opportunity to grab for power that doesn't involve grabbing for money first, the GB skips the cash stage and goes for it whole hog.

Japan, I haven't got a clue why,just a fancy.



New Zealand. From what I've read,it's a slow paced country.



U.S.A. Visited friends a few times and always had a brilliant time.



Germany. I always get the feeling that people respect each other and the law,I've always felt safe. One of the countries I would gladly live.



China. Just for the experience of a country that just in the progress of welcoming Western travellers. There must be some lovely sights

I would much rather have all the money associated with those travel costs; however to answer your question, I am in the U.S. and I would like to go anywhere up north (because I love it there!), then New York (to visit Eddie), next would be Australia (to see Jenny), and to western Iowa (to see Grammie). Oh, I have one place left. It's hard to decide between several: (Northern California (where I used to live), Alaska (it's beautiful there), Canada (never quite made it there and I think there's a lot of beauty there, too).

I think an RV would be my choice of transportation



Then retire from travelling in Mexico and buy a sailboat and sit on the beach for a very very very long time with a good book. Which I may not get around to reading.

England, Canada, Australia, US and Japan. All of them for the culture, history and natural beauty, and the first four, also for the friends that live there. If it wasn't for the friends, I'd choose some other countries too/or/first: Italy, Chile, Guatenala, Mexico, Turquey, Russia, Norway and Sweden (among the countries that I haven't visited yet).
