How about Harbin? I love cold cities hehe.. Or maybe Hohhot, it's just near Beijing. Tibet would be most wonderful though.
Harbin would be a cool choice.

Harbin is literally a cool choice. :)

We NEED a team of reunited twins who are grandmothers!

I want drag queens or a transgender team.
Coz we already had gays and lesbians. We need more colors from my beloved LGBT people.  :hearts:

Transgender reunited grandmas plz.  :lol:

Maybe we need to have a TAR: Oldies Editions, and hire Aussie to pick the cast! :lol: :lol3:

I'm down with that!  :lol:

If I made a wishlist I could go on and on and on. Instead I wanted to put my bets on where TAR21 will visit. If something is in CAPITALS it means the countries I have listed under it are the ones i think TAR21 will visit IF they go to that continent/area. 

CENTRAL AMERICA
I thought the penultimate Panama Leg in TAR19 was great, I'm hoping a Central American Leg for TAR21, but I'm still not sure
- my best bets are Belize, Guatemala and Costa Rica

SOUTH AMERICA
After three Legs in TAR20. I'm sadly going to rule out South America for TAR21 :(

EUROPE
- the unvisited countries I think might be visited are Latvia, Malta and Cyprus
- the Mediterranean countries, the ones I am thinking of are Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey
- Yugoslavia, my bets are Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania and Serbia
- overdue-due-for-another-visit countries, I think are Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Finland

AFRICA
I still have not decided yet. But I absolutely LOVE the race in Africa. 
- my best bets are Benin, Gabon and Uganda

MIDDLE EAST
- sadly, I only have one bet, and that is Qatar

ASIA
- for unvisited countries I'm thinking Nepal, Laos and Burma
- at least one leg in a large Asian city

OCEANIA
- my strongest feeling is New Zealand, which I think will be visited TAR21 or the one after that
- Phil has stated that he wants the race to go to the Pacific Islands, so I'm going to place bets for Fiji, Tahiti and Samoa

If TAR21 goes to EUROPE first, then I think we will have an east coast start. If New Zealand is the first stop then we will have a west coast start. I am confident either Europe or New Zealand will be the first stop. As for the final destination city, it will be on the west coast or in Texas.

Please share your thoughts on my ideas, I like opinions regardless if they are positive or negative :)

Flights to Kigali; genocide remembrance leg

Leg 7 (Rwanda) elimination (6 teams remain)

A great list! I also have have a feeling that they will visit New Zealand for the next season. But my feeling is always wrong, anyway :lol: But, I still have my fingers crossed :hearts:

I think Houston should definitely be on WRP's final destination list!  :tup:
It is the 4th largest city in the USA and has never hosted part of a race 

Not only is it a huge city full of possible challenges, the race could also venture out to Trinity Bay  :conf:
IAH (George Bush Intercontinental Airport) is a huge hub and racers could fly in directly from Europe or Central/South America

I think Houston needs to host a final leg, and the Bayou Bend Mansion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayou_Bend_Collection_and_Gardens) would be the perfect Finish Line  :hrt:
The mansion is accessible through two ways I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) and could easily be closed off for a finish line. It's also secluded so no one could peek through and watch
If teams taxi's took them down Memorial Drive and turned off at Westcott Street to the garden's carpark, teams would have to run across the bridge and through the gorgeous gardens to get to a photo finish ending  :wohoo:
*Note: the Finish Line would be at the back of the mansion, like TAR19 finish line at Swan House  :)

Who's with me for Houston!  :hoot:

  • Don't wanna go to heaven without raising hell. ♥
I don't think I've actually created a whole route on this thread before (maybe I have :lol: ) but here I go:

Leg 1: Anywhere in USA Other Than LA -> Guatemala City, Guatemala (they leave the city, though)
Leg 2: Guatemala City, Guatemala -> Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago
Leg 3: Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago -> Durban, South Africa
Leg 4: Durban, South Africa -> Luanda, Angola
Leg 5: Luanda, Angola -> Yaounde, Cameroon
Leg 6: Yaounde, Cameroon -> Malabo, Equatorial Guinea
Leg 7: Malabo, Equatorial Guinea -> Banjul, Gambia
Leg 8: Banjul, Gambia -> Anywhere, Spain
Leg 9: Anywhere, Spain -> Birmingham, England
Leg 10: Birmingham, England -> Yerevan, Armenia
Leg 11: Yerevan, Armenia -> Vientiane, Laos
Leg 12: Vientiane, Laos -> Western USA (Not LA)

I know it's probably an extremely infeasible route, but it'd be a lot of fun. I cut back on Asia on my route, because I feel that recent seasons of TAR (13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19) have spent WAAAAY too much time in Asia compared to other continents. I spent a lot of time in Africa because I absolutely love Africa, and TAR does not spend enough time there at all. I tossed in a couple of legs in Central America at the beginning, as we don't spend enough time there either.
I'd rather walk alone than let them throw dirty confetti. ♥

I want this for AR 21 :yess:

1. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA to ?, Scotland (where ever they need to fly to to go to Loch Ness) (11-10)
2. ? to Edinburg (10-9)
3. Edinburg to Burgen, Norway (W-Turn, 9-8)
4. Burgen to Madrid, Spain (8-7)
5. Madrid to Monte Carlo, Monaco (7, NE Leg)
6. Monte Carlo to Fes, Morocco (7-6)
7. Fes to Nairobi, Kenya (6, No Break Leg)
8. Kenya (all over it) (W-Turn, 6-5)
9. ?, Kenya to ?, China (5-4)
10. ? to Kathmandu, Nepal (4, NE leg)
11. Kathmandu to Vientiane, Laos (4-3)
12. Vientiane to Salt Lake City, Utah, USA (3-1)

10 Countries (3 new, 4 if you count Kenya). I dont think they will go to oceania in AR 21 because it will be winter in the southern hemisphere during that time.

I have been waiting for 20 seasons for Armenia! They better go there soon, otherwise I will not be very happy! :knuckles: :knuckles:

I really like the rest of your list though, as well. Portugal and Spain definitely need to be seen again! :tup:

I'd love to see a great driving leg another time, as of that in TAR4, where teams had to drive about 500 miles, from north to south of France.

I think that a leg in some point in Spain (obviously I support my country, and it is underrated) could lead to a train to a Northern place (Barcelona, maybe) and then a great driving to Monte Carlo. <3

MAybe more research would be better, but definitely, I'd love another of those self-drive in the night legs.

Greek islands

Israel (Tel Aviv and Eilat are safe)
Jordan (Ancient city of Petra is near Eilat, Israel; could be combined)
Kyrgyzstan
Maldives
Nepal
Qatar
Turkey (They were in Istanbul but Turkey has beautiful Mediterranean coast)
Uzbekistan (Samarkand was important city along the Silk Route)

Americas:
All the little island nations in the Caribbean (except Jamaica and Puerto Rico and they probably can't go to Cuba)
Belize

Guyana
French Guyana
Suriname

This is a great route. We need to see more South Korea, outside Seoul.
I've been to Jeju Island, and it has so many interesting spots. My favorite is the LOVELAND. The people must see it! :lol:

I completely agree with you. They haven't really explored South Korea much yet. The southern part of the country is so full of culture.

I like this route!
