I was there once and I would love to go back again. Definately do the Pacific Coast which is much more "Costa Rican" than the Caribean flavor of the other coast.

I stayed in Tamorindo, which is another great surfing town. I really wanted to spend a day taking surfing lessons, but my friend invited 2 other people to join us and the trip became a little too hectic for my tastes

• Italy (along with with Slovenia & Croatia - I might be going there in 2004)
  
• Chile including Easter Island
  
• Peru - just to see Manchu Picchu
  
• Mozambique - I heard the surfing there is fabulous
  
• Madegascar - They have the best wildlife on that island
  
• Canary Islands (which yes, is part of spain)
  
• Saudi Arabia - but only to do the Hajj if I could get away with doing it just once in my lifetime
  
• Brazil - just so I can visit JCCyC (and maybe do Rio)
  
• Malawi - again, wonderful wildlife that isn't overhyped by tourists. And this country is actually pretty safe to visit
  
• Canada - because can you believe I've never been there.
  

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. "Brazil - just so I can visit JCCyC (and maybe do Rio)"

Good thing it's not the other way around, my wife would get pretty miffed. :evilgrin:

There are some practicalities involved in this wishlist as you might imagine. I actually had the money and tour arranged for Israel some time ago but it was cancelled for safety reasons. :-(

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

40. OK, I won't use it in the ranking them

Unless you decide to later sort it.

[amazona]

57. i'll try but it's tough

I'll put the top three I'm likely to visit next so you'll at least be able to add something to your notes!

Bolivia
Costa Rica
Nicaragua

I'm surprised more people haven't put Panama considering the number who haven't yet but plan to visit Costa Rica but maybe we've all been to Panama already?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]
