What trips are on your bucket list?

A_nonymous2

Hi! I am trying to plan a "trip of a lifetime" for 2014 and would love to hear suggestions.

Constraints:
would like total travel time to be less than 14 days
budget less than $15k or $7500/pp
already been to Asia and no desire to go back
We've been to almost all Caribbean islands and on multiple cruises


Things I've already thought of:
Hike to Manchu Picchu - #1 possibility but worried about safety
Australia/New Zealand
Grand Canyon
Drive California coast
Wine Country
Oktoberfest on Munich - Ruled out
Alaskan cruise
Paris, France- Ruled out

Kenya or South Africa and do a safari. You can do a private tour reasonably priced and stay at a nice lodge.

Ireland and New Zealand!

Go to Panama and get lost in the forest.

Not go back to Asia, why not? I have been to China and loved it!

After reading your list, I have to say I have a huge bias. I really want to hit up Australia for the scuba diving.

Great suggestions.

I have a bucket list trip (6 months) planned for February 2015, just over a year to go now

My itinerary is:

Hong Kong/Yang Shao
Australia/New Zealand
Belize
USA- LA (Coachella Fest), Grand Canyon/Monument Valley, tornado chasing in mid west. Breaking bad tour (NM) Walking dead tour (Georgia) Florida/NY
Toronto
Home :sad:

Somehow this has to fit in a budget of £13000. Luckily I have friends in some of these places

WOW! Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have some research to do! Keep 'em coming...

Always wanted to visit Manchu Picchu, it looks soooo beautiful, I worry about language barriers. I have to do my trip on my own and I am pants at picking up other languages which is why I have stuck to safe places with lots of English speakers. I suck

Northern lights - don't mind where I see them from but Iceland is probably the best bet from here. Australia, too big to do in a lifetime of visits, California and Sweden. Now, just off to buy a lottery ticket! :laugh:

Your constraints got rid of most of my suggestions.
A few years ago I rode a motorbike around Europe for 16 days (Holland/Germany,Switzerland,Italy,Monaco,France,Spain), with some off road riding and mostly wild camping.

As a kid we drove across America, but took 4 weeks to do it (actually 6, but first 2 were in LA).
Also 6 weeks island hopping across the pacific before that.

Mr_Excitement

I'd like to do a motorcycle trip through Vietnam someday. I'd love to see Istanbul.

Oh and I'd like to dive the Great Barrier Reef.

What are you most interested in? I personally like art, history and architecture so my dream vacations tend to be big European cities - I've been to London, Vienna, Munich, Rome, Florence, Athens, Madrid. Edinburgh..still need to see Paris and St. Petersburg. If I wanted to see natural beauty I'd say Iceland or New Zealand, or maybe an African safari while there are still animals left.

May I suggest a Hot Air Balloon safari in South Africa. It runs about $425.00 dollar a day, air fare not included.

See: http://www.balloon.co.za/

My wife and I did it, for much less that your $15,000 and we really enjoyed it.
