Reading their annual list with its mouth-watering descriptions and beautiful photos will send even the most well-travelled veteran into travel envy nirvanah. Even armchair travelers will get pumped up reading about them.

A couple of recent trips to central Vietnam were my most exotic. Vietnam has some large and modern cities. However, when you get beyond those and out into the countryside, there is much to see and do. One of those trips was for a wedding in a small remote village where westerners were so rare that villagers would come up and take our pictures. We were big news for the locals.

I have been fortunate to have visited many exotic places, the majority since I retired. In the natural wonders category I would rank Antarctica at the top (although it is at the bottom of the world), along with Africa. For exotic destinations I would rate India (where like LS experienced, locals in a small town took OUR pictures) and Japan right up there, so many different things to see and experience. Having spent a year in the Army in Vietnam, I would like to go back and see how it has changed, along with Thailand and Cambodia.

Easter Island - one of the world's most isolated, inhabited places. The moais and the history are incredible. Most exotic (and best) trip ever.
