Everyone has in the back of their head [nonsexist grammar] a list of
exotic places they'd like to see before they log out for the last
time.  Here are mine; I've made to a few, and hopes for some of the
rest ---

Samarkand.
Lhasa.
Fiji.
Macchu Picchu.
Tierra del Fuego.
Beijing.
Istanbul.
Trebizond, a port on the Black Sea coast of Turkey.
The Kara-Bogaz-Gol, a bay on the Caspian Sea.
Tbilisi, the capital of Soviet Georgia.
Trincomalee, a port in Sri Lanka.
The Rann of Kutch, a sea marsh in western India.
Persepolis.
Tanna Tuva, now absorbed into Mongolia (familiar to stamp
	collectors).
Kamchatka, unfortunately closed to foreigners.
Zanzibar.
Tierra del Fuego.
Antarctica. [I was signed up to go in 1979 on the Air New Zealand
	plane that crashed, but had to change plans at the last minute.]


The motivation is largely the romantic names, I suppose.
