At Uptake, my colleagues and I have crawled Facebook's friend graph, analyzing the travel buzz in over 200 million comments, status updates, photo descriptions and check-ins from hundreds of thousands of people. We've whittled all this analysis down to create one ultimate list of top travel destinations you shouldn't miss in 2012. We hope that the list and pictures inspire your next great travel experience!

An interesting side note: The town of Farmville, Virginia was removed from our Top 10 List when we realized that the reason it ranked so high in our results was that everyone on Facebook was talking about Farmville the game, not the city. Sorry Farmville, Virginia, better luck next year!
