Where Times readers are traveling in 2011
We asked readers where they would go if money and time were no object, and where they were likely to go in 2011. Thailand for dental work, one said. A trip with a friend to France, another said. Here are some of the other responses. Bon voyage!

Grand Canyon's South Rim
My fantasy travel trip is the Amazonian rain forest. I have been fascinated by wild jungles, the Amazon River and Mother Nature's vast wonders since childhood, so this remains a mesmerizing and mysterious part of the world that I fantasize about. Spending a few enthralling weeks exploring and photographing to my soul's content while my health and energy levels are still vitally intact, to experience, sleep and then awaken in an Amazonian tree house is a constant dreamy thought.
The reality vacation will include driving to the Grand Canyon's South Rim to hike and stay in a cabin this May, a four-day affair. I'm hoping my still-single young adult son will join me. It will be the first time for either of us to see and experience this nearby wonder of the world, but we're hoping to make this a new annual cost-conscious destination. We also plan on Catalina Island. Two Harbors Campground is an annual spring/summer traditional destination and has been for 35 years. Hiking or lazing about on this roomy part of the isle during hot days, cool evenings, hazy dawns and soft dusks; imbibing a buffalo milk in the village outdoor bar; or just gazing happily at bobbing boats in the harbor and Los Angeles' lights afar and sparkling stars above is simply a gift that is personally spiritual.

As I'm from Southern California also, I would definitely recommend seeing the 112-ft Buddha in Hong Kong! I took some pictures if anyone wants to take a look http://www.work2travelasia.info/big-buddha-on-lantau-island-hong-kong/
