If you have money and time, what sacred, historical, LDS-related places you want to visit?

My title is kinda long, but I am just curious, if you have time and money, what places would you visit? I would love to visit all the operating LDS temples in the world. How about you?

want to go back to New York for the pageant and to visit the Sacred Grove. Would visit Kirtland and Nauvoo and find my way to Far West Missouri.

I would love to go to the Holy Lands and walk in the same places that Christ did.

I've been to Joseph Smith's birthplace. You can really feel the Spirit there. I've also been to Palmyra a couple times. It is awesome there. Nauvoo is really cool. I spent 3 days there. I've also been to Salt lake several times. I really enjoy all of these places. I missed Kirtland, due to time constraints, so I would like to go there. I really enjoy visiting Temples as I travel. I've been to like 13 Temples. Each one is a peaceful experience. I just went to St. George last summer. That was nice. I enjoy all the red rock. I think I would like to go to Palmyra again as all my digital pictures were lost when our computer crashed. The Pagent is really nice. My Wife and I are moving to Salt Lake area in 4 or 5 years. I think then we'll hit Kirtland on the way across. But we may stop in Texas, so I'm not so sure. I'm trying to think of other sites that there are.

btw good question and good thread to start.

Ancient sites in the Americas. I know we don't have exact locations for Book of Mormon events, but it would be fun to poke around. :)

Commercial Street (later renamed Regent Street) in Salt Lake City.

Zarahemla in its heyday.

Michael is such an amazing person. To know he'd be coming to that spot... Just awesome.

I would love to visit the Sacred Grove, as well.

And, perhaps most of all, Gethsemane.

Every time I hear "Babylon" I always think of this verse:

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Does Kolob count? Cause I would like to hie there in the twinkling of an eye.

Babylon was at the seat of the cradle of civilization. So much has sprung out of that Fertile Cresent area. Abraham came from there and many of the Bible stories had their genesis in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

I want to go to possible BofM type places. Anything in central America. I want to see the gigantic tree of life and Manchu pechu (sp) and a host of other sites.

I also thing "O' Babylon, O' Babylon, we bid thee farewell. We're going to the mountains of Ephraim to dwell."

I would like to visit Kirtland, Nauvoo, Independence, SLC Temple and I would love to pray at the Sacred Grove.

Of course I would love to trace the whole saints moving west trail.
