I love reading the annual travel lists compiled by various travel websites and newspapers on top travel destinations for the year. While I don’t particularly care if a destination I travel to is considered a must see, I love reading these lists for inspiration on where to travel to and discovering places I might not have considered.
The New York Times list is one of my favorites.
Here are their picks for places to go in 2016:

Some of these places are new to me but many are already on my wish list including Abu Dhabi, Mozambique and Sri Lanka. We saw the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and would love to also see them at Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Japan is one of my favorite countries so this makes me want to visit Kansai.
Washington, DC, Sydney and San Sebastián, Spain are places that I have visited and loved.

Any thoughts on this list?
Your local license breauu as well as any government agency/courthouse, will have information as to how to obtain your passport, and probably have the forms for you to take home and fill out. You can get your photo taken at any Walgreen’s, Kinko’s. This can take up to eight weeks for normal process, so don’t leave it for the last minute. There are agencies who can expedite this for you-it’ll cost you about $ 200 or so.
Thanks for a great list of places to visit around New York City in 2016.
Good luck and keep posting great stuff online.
Cheers.
