Only place I haven't been which I'd like to is Cuba, it looks like a wonderful place so maybe one day
If you are Canadian, no problem.
If you are American, BIG problem.
I know a couple of people in my building that go there all the time.
They love it.
I come from the UK so there is no problem
it is just the cost factor as I can really only afford the EU (Club med ).America really needs to stop the embargo as they are missing a lot
Actually, it can still be problem visiting Cuba even if you're Canadian (or UKian ?
)....American owned companies can't book travel to Cuba, even if the traveller is not American, and is not travelling from (or through) the US.
Try booking a flight from Canada to Cuba on Expedia.ca. It can't find any flights, even though those flights show up on the airline websites.

No, Traveling to Cuba from the UK is no problem, just the same as any other Caribbean place.
Unless you try to use an American owned online travel site, who won't sell you a ticket to Cuba....
Expedia in UK will.
And lets face it who flies with a US airline abroad? Virgin FTW!!!
France. I majored in French and Spanish in college, so I know enough of the language to avoid being the stereotypical "ugly American". I could pick up some Etienne Daho CDs too.
Canada. The birthplace of Men Without Hats and Skinny Puppy can't be all bad...
Italy. I'd love to sip on a Negroni in Milano, the birthplace of Campari, and get stuffed with pasta puttanesca until capers pop out my ears.
Sweden. Lots of cool synthpop bands in Sweden (and the rest of Scandinavia, too).
India. I work in IT, and we have colleagues in Noida (just outside Delhi) and Bangalore who could show me around. I can watch some Bollywood films, go to bhangra clubs, catch a Sikh martial arts demo and, of course, do a comprehensive countrywide culinary tour.
Japan, China, Thailand and Vietnam, mainly for the cuisine.
Korea, also mainly for the cuisine (and to get some K-pop CDs).
And maybe, just maybe, some countries in West Africa, like Benin, the birthplace of Angelique Kidjo, a popular Afropop singer.
At one time, I wanted to visit Mexico, both for the fiestas and the food, and a chance to use my language skills. However, considering the rather volatile situation with the drug cartels, I think I'll hold off on going there for a while. Maybe Belize or Honduras instead?
EDIT: I forgot to mention the UK. I could see Howard Jones live in his home country, where he's more likely to have his full electronic setup on stage. The last few times he came across to the States, he often performed acoustic sets, mainly to simplify the gear list. Maybe I could catch an appearance by Scottish magician Stevie Starr, too; his "regurgitation" skills are both captivating and highly disturbing.

That's interesting. The Canadian Expedia site won't even search on any airports in Cuba that is... can't find any airports in Cuba. I just tried booking from Heathrow to Havana for fun (earlier I tried from Toronto) and Expedia.ca can't find any airports in Havana, in Santa Cruz, in Cuba... tried them all.
Expedia.ca is, iirc, owned by Microsoft. Perhaps Expedia in the UK is owned by somebody else.

Oh, and I'm going to add Italy to my list. Been to Venice once, but it was for an hour or less, and we didn't get far from the train station.
I've been many places, most of Europe, a lot of Asia. I'd like to go to Italy, New Zealand, maybe Australia, possibly China although I have been to Hong Kong, maybe Brazil or other points South.
If I could afford to fly over to New York, spend a week there then hop in a car and do a clockwise circular through the US then Canada. That. With buddies. That's what I want to do most.
I'd love to see Japan, Australia and take the Orient Express someday too.
I've already seen most of Europe. I'm very picky about food (no curry, no fish, no brains, genitals or anything like that) so I'm limited to just a few countries.

I want to go there too. Too bad we have a travel embargo on them.
America as I've wanted to go there for so long, also want to go to South Africa but that's because I want to see my family.
Japan - to see for myself the famed vending machines which sell you everything. Skiing.
Austria/Switzerland - for the skiing
Ireland - for the scenery
Canada - been there before but only as a kid and loved it then. And the skiing.
