@Bill Branstetter, I would travel to many places had I the means before my end arrives. Since they are too numerous to mention, I will pick one: Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Although the citizens of Monaco are forbidden to enter the gaming rooms, for far away travelers, such as myself, the casinos are fair game, trusted, of course, I am dressed in the attire of a social gentleman.

@Bill Branstetter It would be Athens, Greece. I fascinated by ancient history. Even when I go to The Getty in Los Angeles I’m in awww with all the ancient sculptures.

I’m going to make it a point to see Egypt, Greece, and Italy in my lifetime.

The Alaskan fjords, at a time of year when odds are good for seeing the northern lights

@Bill Branstetter although I'm not a veteran I do have several acquaintances that are and their #1 choice (and mine) is Uraguay. The reason being is that Uraguay is pretty progressive and a democratic culture for being a South American country. There are many ex-patriots who have moved there to retire or own small businesses and are thriving. The real estate market is less expensive and the government there is American friendly. They appreciate new business ventures and you don't have to live there or be a dual citizen to own real estate or a business. There are some strict import & export laws but the Embassy is there to provide support and guidance to American Citizens. English is widely spoken. You can become a dual citizen after 3 yrs and some areas are absolutely phenomenal to live in. Most ex-pats live in Montevideo but there are terrific cities all over. Uraguay borders the Southern most end of Brazil.

Scotland/Ireland wouid be amazing. New Zealand and Iceland too. So many more I could list, and all for different reasons.

I would visit Japan, specifically Tokyo and Kyoto. I've heard amazing things from friends who have been there. I'd love to see all of the weird restaurants, the tech museums, the ancient gardens, and the Disney park. Oh, and I would eat ALL of the sushi.
