Show tunes with a travel theme

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!

of course, from my home state....

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!

Come to think of it, "Go Home Train" is actually an anti-traveling song. Ah well.

There is an odd one in the new Tell Me On A Sunday CD where she is on the plane, and it takes off and the whole in-flight thing and landing.

"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!
