What are some countries still worth visiting?

p.s. if gas prices get under $2 a gallon and i can get me a little 4x4 economy rig gets 30mpg...well i am going to burn up me some usfs logging roads and more....

i end my nightly prayers with please $1.50 gas !

I've been outraged at the price of gas ever since it hit 45¢ a gallon.

Which brings an even older memory up about the price of gas when I was driving cross country once...

I remember buying gas at a gas station south of Birmingham for 30¢ a gallon. Not 29.99¢. Not 30.99¢. But an even 30¢. Because the gas station owner thought it was dishonest to tack that .99¢ on the price to make it seem cheaper than it really was.

I like outdoors. Natural beauty. I don't like big cities. I don't like "fancy". I think most of what I want will be found in places where there aren't a ton of people. If places like that even exist anymore.

All of the below, no matter what they are, or how famous they may be, would be a hard NO for me:

I don't think those photos are real. I have been to Paris a few times, one time on a holiday and I have never once seen crowds like that or anywhere near. Been to Chichen Iza too and there was hardly anyone there
I think they are photoshopped

LOL even the Taj Mahal in India wasn't THAT crowded !! But it was the most crowded place I have been and I got anxiety when some Japanese tourist shoved me and I almost fell down

if you want a nice place with few people, Isle of Skye

I agree. That pic must have been from some festival they had down there.
When we went to Chichén Itzá, there were only a few people wandering around all of those dozens of acres.
And yes, I did climb up those thousands of steps, and took great 35mm pictures with my 300x zoom lens.

I thought the place was creepy , they threw the prisoners off the steps to kill them, they threw the women and child sacrifices in the little water hole, and so on. Son asked " is this blood" on some red spots on the steps LOL ( he's not in the photo, he was like 8 or so) . I liked the iguanas

If you intend to get on a bus to anywhere other than the city- pre book. https://www.buseireann.ie/routes-and-timetables
When you walk out of the airport all the buses go anywhere in the country, so its handy.

That map reminds me of the medieval phrase "all roads lead to Rome" but in your case in Ireland it would be "all roads lead to Dublin".
