I am looking for show tunes with a travel theme. They can either be about traveling or about a particular location or culture (i.e. Bali Hai)
Classic or contemporary is fine.
Just throw some ideas out there!

New York, New York! from ON THE TOWN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v7QfCxuvLo
New York, New York!
It's a helluva town!
We've got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights!
We'll find the romance and danger waiting in it
Beneath the Broadway lights;
But we've hair on our chests
So what we like the best are the nights
Sights! Lights! Nights!
New York, New York, a helluva town.
The Bronx is up, but the Battery's down.
The people ride in a hole in the groun'.
New York, New York, it's a helluva town!
That's my "favorite city" in the whole WIDE WORLD!

Off to Massachusetts from LITTLE WOMEN.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu1EiUcUhvI&feature=related
We will play minuets off in Massachusetts
Boston, Massachusetts, Beacon Street
Beth:
If you say 'Come with me'
Then to Massachusetts we will go
We will buy dishes there
Mr. Laurence:
If you say come with me off to Massachusetts
Then to Massachusetts we will go
We will buy dishes there
Maybe even two sets
Beth & Mr. Laurence:
Buy the finest china then we'll dine a while on crepe suzettes
Beth:
Off
Mr. Laurence:
Yes we're off
Beth & Mr. Laurence:
To Massachusetts
Yes we're off (Yes, we're off)
To where the shops are sweet
We will have no regrets!
****
Definitely no regrets living here! very liberal state, very historical, lots of museums, good schools, the Cape, lotsa good looking Irish/ Italian-American guys (nice to look at! 
) and kinda close to NYC, if I want to see a show!

PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.

"Atlantic City" from Ragtime?
I lived there -- and it's true. NO ONE will find you there.

Posted: 7/23/08 at 12:03pm"Life Is Like A Train" from ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 7/23/08 at 12:04pmCome to think of it, "Go Home Train" is actually an anti-traveling song. Ah well.

"Journey On" from RAGTIME- but you have to in Battery Park while taking the ferry to the Statue of Libery or just taking the ferry to Staten Island..I did this and there's some dramatic ambience to it.
"Suspended in Time" from XANADU-while youre on a plane, looking thru the little window to the clouds (it has to be day time, and of course you have to be seated by the window) its very dramatic..I have tried this too..while going on my plane ride to New Orleans last year!) its a very nice feeling!
