Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo, japan is the largest metropolis on Earth, with a population of 40,000,000. It is no doubt a center of technological advancement in the world, but also a city that preserves it's historical roots. Skyscrapers pierce the clouds, and neon signs illuminate the crowded streets, yet ancient temples still stand amongst them.
There is plenty to see and do in Tokyo. You can view the seat of the Japanese Emporer at Edo Castle, or check out the arcades and clubs in Akihabara. Tokyo also has it's own version of Disney Land!
Here are a few places we could see:
Edo Castle
Shibuya Crossing
Tokyo Disney
The Worlds Largest Gundam
(This one is for me)
Paris, France
You travelled here in high school on a class trip and have since vowed to bring me along next time. Paris is the capital of France, a city rich with history and art. There are numerous landmarks dotting the town for visitors to see, as well as famous restaurants open to feed them. Certainly we won't lack things to keep us busy.
We could make our way to the top of the Eiffel Tower to see the entire city. Next we could make our way to the Louvre and see all the famous paintings in person. While Notre Dame is damaged we could always stop by to pay our respects. Below the city lie the catacombs, though I wouldn't mind if you wanted to skip those.
Here are a few places we could see:
The Eiffel Tower
The Louvre
The Arc de Triomphe
Notre Dame
Santorini, Greece
Santorini stands among the most famous of the Greek islands. Noted for it's blue domed roofed homes made of volcanic rock. In order to travel to Santorini, one must board a ferry in Athens and make an 8 hour trek across the Aegean Sea. While small, the islland offers plenty to experience once you've arrived.
Sailing is a big part of the culture on Santorini, so there are plenty of cruises and water tours to partake in. Many vineyards also line the island, making wine tasting a great activity as well. There would be no lack of fine dining either, with plenty of restaurants and even lunch trips on the water available for us to try.
Here are a few places we could see:
Avra Santorini Restaurant
Santorini Red Beaches
The Three Bells of Fira
Ancient Thera
Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland. Famous for it's ties to viking culture, this seaside town hosts breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The city also features a site of volcanic activity located nearby at the village of Grindavik. There we can rest at the famous Blue Lagoon Spa.
When not relaxing we could visit the many museums the city has, including the National and Saga mueseums which detail the island's past as a Viking dwelling. Since it is on the smaller side, we will have plenty of time to walk around and see all we can.
Here are a few places we could see:
Blue Lagoon Hot Springs
Hallgrímskirkja
The Harpa Concert Hall
Videy Island
Sydney, Australia
On the long list of places you want to go, Australia always seems to be near the top each time I ask you. Sydney is famous for it's waterfront Opera House and beautiful architecture. There is plenty for us to see, and I'd be more than happy to spend time at the SEA LIFE Aquarium.
Sydney Tower also stands high above the city as the second largest observation tower in the southern hemisphere, which would be a great place for us both to conquer our fear of heights. Of course, there is also the option of tracking down the legendary address: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.
Here are a few places we could see:
Sydeny Opera House
SEA Life Awuarium
Royal Botanical Gardens
Sydney Tall Ship Lunch Cruise
Vancouver, Canada
The destination closest to us on the list, and perhaps the most similar to where we live. Vancouver is a international port city that connects to most major cities throughout the world. As a result the town has a strong sense of cultural diversity, reflected by it's museums and fine dining.
There are waterfront tours, art galleries, and even seaplane trips out across the bay. A number of parks also dot the city, like Stanley Park, the third-largest park in North America with a 5.5 mile walking path. We could also venture to the world famous Vancouver Aquarium, or even Granville Island, a former industrial district since converted to a waterfront neighborhood of shops, cafes and bookstores.
Here are a few places we could see:
Stanley Park
Granville Island
Capilano Suspension Bridge
