If you've not played Jump One, Jump Twosday, you don't know what you're missing! Scroll down to the next post or click here to go directly. This week? "Beating the Bushes."
Where would others like to go? Find out by visiting Ten on Tuesday.
My European husband has treated other countries in Europe as if they were states in the U.S., hopping from one to the other and overstaying his welcome here, there and everywhere. Add to it the decade he spent in Asia, and you've got yourself two things: a real world traveler and his jealous wife. Sprinkle in three kids, and you can see why my passport is way limited (outside of a whirlwind visit to China and Hong Kong while pregnant with my first, multiple visits to England and Wales to visit the mate's side of the family once the kids arrived, a one-day trip to Dublin while the mate had a business meeting, and some Caribbean countries while cruising with my mom and sister).
Without further ado, and remarkably red-faced for my lack of world travel, here's my list (in no particular order):
1. Italy
2. Sweden
3. Greece
4. Portugal
5. Ireland
6. Scotland
7. Japan
8. Argentina
9. Australia
10. New Zealand
It's taken forever to make the list because now I have to say, "Does Brazil beat out these others?" "How about Finland?" And so on. But I have to quit somewhere. If I die having hit at least four of these, I'll feel better about my pitiful traveling. What is it that they say? Oh, right. Americans!

How could I forget Australia and New Zealand? My mental image of the globe forgot to make that one last turn! I hope you get to go EVERYWHERE! Happy Tuesday!
Finland is a lot like Wisconsin, only with more Tex-Mex restaurants. At least, that's what it was like in 1997 when I visited Tampere and Helsinki on business.
Happy Tuesday!
Enjoyed your list, it was hard to limit it to just 10 when I've never been out of the country. We both want to visit Ireland and Scotland!
Argentina is an interesting choice....what's the reason...anything special?
Happy day.
I debated about whether to put Argentina on my list because that's where my maternal grandparents met (they were both graduate students doing research on the country) and they always raved about how beautiful Buenos Aires was.
I can truly understand your feeling or wondering if the countries you list would beat out of the other countries not listed. I had hard time too :)
Always want to visit Scotland. One of the book I have read in the past was "Outlander" series and it take in place in Scotland. Reading it sure make me felt like I was there. It one of my favorite series books of all times.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a good Tuesday!
I almost put Argentina on my list too. Looks like a lot of people want to go to Australia!
Great list! I relate to your difficulty in limiting it to 10. And to being slightly red-faced at the empty-ish passport. We'll get there. Hopefully "there" is someplace fun.
Great list. I was tempted by Argentina too, but thought I really should think about all the great places to go in Europe while I'm still living there!
I ranked Finland high too, but pjd's comment kind of dismays me!
My answers are on my new Typepad blog:

Yikes, habits are hard to break!
Great list! Argentina sounds interesting. Gosh, there're so many countries I'd love to visit...
Happy ToT!
I would love to visit Japan during the Cherry Blossom season!
You must visit New Zealand - it is very beautiful! Loved your list! I would love to visit Italy and Portugal - sun sun sun!
I have never really been out of the country, unless you count Puerto Rico, which is and isn't at the same time.
Ditto. All of them.
Passports were made for using. Go for it!
