This is the advice of the guide Lonely Planet we have struggled to book a guest room in this place quite exceptional. First, the view of Mount Agung is simply breathtaking It is a picture that never tires of looking, especially in the morning at six oclock, sunrise offers moments of magic and simply that only Bali has to offer .. . The Patal Kikian is a set of three or four houses, semi-private. This is not a hotel but a guesthouse. The Balinese, and even a Swiss cross and we have been told that owning our home the Betina (reflecting, it may be his first name ). Know that the area is so quiet and remote, it has hosted famous guests, including former president of Indonesia, Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Roman Polanski.

Mount Rushmore has been moved, apparently, to Washington, D.C., where they overlook the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial.

OK, the real Rushmore is still in the Black Hills. But in Shenzhen, China — I realize we’re jumping around here — there is a theme park called Windows of the World, featuring scale models of the world’s best-known tourist destinations.

Where would you like to travel in 2012? For people in the travel industry, it’s often easier to come up with a list of where they wouldn’t like to travel. So many destinations, so little time.

This time of year, travel lists abound, with each, naturally, subjective in its own way. Looking for top luxury spots? Budget destinations? Off-the-beaten-path spots? How about top ethical places in the developing world? There’s a list for you.

Without reading a single one, a destination gambler’s best odds for this year would be to include London and its surroundings, home of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Not far behind should be locales in Mexico and Central America that were part of the Mayan world. That cu
