I'm thinking somebody's confused "pilgrimages" with "vacation destinations."

I'm thinking somebody's confused "pilgrimages" with "vacation destinations."

Yeah. To me, a "pilgrimage" would be, at the very least, travel to a specific destination which holds a special religious, spiritual (or, possibly also emotional) significance to the "pilgrim".

[derspiess]

Brussels, 2007 (definitely a beer pilgrimage)
St. Louis, 1986 (first time there; completed my year-long conversion to the Cardinals)
Cooperstown, 1981 (family-level baseball pilgrimage)

Some others come to mind, but they were really more targets of opportunity than the actual destination.

[Maladict]

Fair enough, shortened the list to the essentials.

[Sheilbh]

Iona's a good one. It feels like a pilgrimage.
