NY Times: 53 places to go in 2008
Yesterday's NY Times travel section depicted the 53 "it" destinations of 2008.
Laos made number 1, as the new Vietnam and Cambodia of Indochina. The photo, by Tanja Geis for the NY Times, is of stupas on the grounds of Pha That Luang in Vientiane, Laos.
My home town, Prague, made number 14, apparently because Prague is still the new Prague. Other than that, I have only been to about one third of these. So many places, so little time!
Here is the top 10:
- Laos
- Lisbon
- Tunisia
- Mauritius
- Mid-Beach Miami
- South Beach, Miami
- Maldives
- Death Valley
- Courchevel, France
- Libya
The complete list is here.

Tim Cahill wrote a story about Death Valley (#8) for this month's National Geographic magazine, in which he describes Death Valley National Park as "something akin to scientific pornography for hard-rock geologists." You can read the story online here:
