I have a whole multi-tiered list of "Places and stuff I wanna see" but it's more dedicated to individual sites than whole regions at the achievable level. Tier one is stuff I can easily drive to, like Gettysburg or DC. Tier two is reachable stuff I want to share with GF but not easily managed, like any of the stunning stuff in HotD's region or the western half of the US. Third tier is "gonna be tricky" stuff like England or Australia that would take a lottery win or a sudden change in financial fortune to achieve as well as a shift in her ability to endure a plane ride. In other words, not frigging likely.
I'm not such a fan of camping or roughing it type trips for the sake of themselves unless it were part of a necessary living arrangement. When I got stuck living in the woods in a truck it was basically forced camping out for about four months straight; I managed it but it forever killed the fun of it all. However, I would LOVE to go live on a historical dig someplace and work with archaeologists for a summer and the accomodations wouldn't bother me a bit. I crave that kind of experience. I'll explore any wilderness you want me to explore, just don't ask me to set up a tent and stare at a campfire.
