I’d like to suggest the tubbataha reef in the Philippines in case the great barrier reef doesn’t push through, and while you’re there you can also check out the banaue rice terraces.

Fallingwater- the organic stone and wood Frank Lloyd House built on top of a waterfall is definitely worth visiting in western PA.!
The Wailing Wall- a sacred stone wall in old Jerusalem where the very religious place notes in the wall’s cracks with their innermost prayers- is another.
Kathmandu- an ancient Buddhist/Hindu kingdom in Nepal is a throwback to a medieval world. (don’t drink the water)
Macchu Picchu - an Incan ruin with Breathtaking Vistas- in the mountains of Peru near Cuzco- the ancient Inca capital- is another.
One last trek in my future plans is Galapagos Island- Ecuador- with so many unique animal breeds. Visiting there helped Charles Darwin formulate his “Survival of the fittest” evolution theories regarding the development of animal/human life on earth.
