twelve/two

1. Sydney- Me and my friends have talked about going to Sydney for New Years Eve and how cool it would be to watch the fireworks over the harbor.
2. South Africa- A few years ago, South Africa was the number one spot I wanted to visit. I think I would take my friends Whitney and Jazmine, because a trip with them seems like it would be an interesting experience.
3. Spain- because I've take so many Spanish classes, I feel pretty comfortable going to a country with native speakers. I would take Desiree, because she's at the same Spanish level as I am in school, so she would be helpful, and Carissa, because I think she would be fun to have around on a trip.
4. Rio- I would want to go for the Olympics, but Rio also seems like the kind of place you could have a fun time in, so I would take Allison and let her take a friend (that I choose), because they would keep the trip from getting boring.
5. Rome- Because there's so much history associated with Rome, it would be a fantastic trip. I would take my nephews when they're older. There's really no special reason I would take them, I just think it would be fun.
6. London- London is like New York, one of those cities so unique and famous that you have to see it for yourself sometime. I don't really know who I would take with me, people who could put up with me taking so many pictures of landmarks, I suppose.
7. Paris- I wanted to go there a lot as a kid, and I still think it would be fun. I would bring my grandparents with me, because they'd have to be the ones to pay for it!
8. Dubai- There's so much to see and do in Dubai, so I would take Trevor and Liana, because they seem like two people who would have the energy to go and see everything there is.
9. Hawaii- I think my parents would appreciate a nice trip away from work.
10. Egypt- I would take my uncle and aunt with me, my uncle seems like the kind of person who would appreciate being somewhere so historical.
11.- Mexico- It's a common place for Americans to vacation, I probably wouldn't take the trip there until college, so I would take a couple of friends I meet later on.
12. India- My niece and nephew are both part Indian, so I think it would be an interesting place for them to visit.
