Thanks for the OP. It gave me an opportunity to reflect and consider where to go next.

I have visited Kiribati and stayed on several Hawaiian and Tahitian Islands (discovering the Bora Bora airport is known as BOB and I saved the luggage tag) including staying in a motu over the water in Huahine, toured both islands of New Zealand, visited Russia where the tour guide referred to me as "the spy" when she found I had studied, read and spoke a some Russian, visited Singapore, parts of China, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Bali and Vietnam where I saw the coo chi tunnels and old palace in Saigon, Have motor homed and otherwise visited all around the lower 48 USA, some of Canada, and Mexico and much of the UK, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Spain, Morocco, Gibraltar, Italy, France, Monaco, The Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, etc. Have been on several ocean, Caribbean and river cruises, through the Panama Canal, numerous trips to various destinations in Mexico and most Central American countries...

I have not yet been to South America, Japan (except Tokyo's airport), Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Belarus, the Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland, Antarctica, Easter Island, Iceland, Australia, the Cook islands, Fiji, Guam, the island of Yap and other South Pacific islands, or most of Africa all of which I hope to visit. I really want to get to the Amazon!

No, I have not worked for an airline or otherwise in the travel industry. Travel has always been a high priority for me.

And GG, these days it is more like the 6 mile high club and it seems to me that a curtained first class cabin on British Air might be the way to go!
