A travel pack?
By now we've all seen the leaks about a Horse Ranch pack and it seems fairly credible (we'll see soon enough), and we can all see the many hints at horses in Growing Together. They're plentiful.
But so are the hints of travelling. From the working suitcase to the artwork, the game is rich with hints of future travel possibilities, and what better way to gain family photos for the new frames? Now I seriously doubt that hotels and travelling will be a part of the Horse Ranch pack, so could this mean we're getting a Hotel EP or GP after the Horse Ranch pack? *fingers crosses*
Personally, I'd prefer an EP to a GP in this case. I feel the hotel experience deserves it, but mostly I just want a bigger world that is alive as a residential world as well as a vacationing world. Ideally, it would be somewhere that is far from the US, in another region of the world entirely. I'd love to see Africa or Asia to be represented, but I'd be happy with Australia or New Zealand as well. Jungle Adventure already offers us vacations in South America, so I'd hope for something new. My absolutely ideal would be India, so that we'd get some use of the CAS-items in fashion street and the decor in City Living.
Imagine this: A big world, similar to Windenburg in size, with three distinct neighborhoods, representing different aspects of India.
Area one: Touristy beach resort with large hotels(based on Goa).
Area two: Busy town center (based on places such as Mumbai and New Dehli)
Area three: Relaxing mountain region (based on the countryside northern regions of India)

This would be where the hotels are, big 64*64 lots as well as a few smaller ones. Maybe a rental or two as well. This wouldn't be where you'd meet the townies, but where the tourists are.
* Own and run a hotel or B&B (venue type that can be placed in any world including vacation worlds and that works well with spa items, espresso bar, bar, restaurant items and retail items so NPCs show up to work if you put those items there)
* Work in a hotel
* Visit hotels
* More pool items and more customisation to pools
* Aspirations to run hotels, as well as travel aspirations

Chaotic, busy, vibrant with streets vendors and food stalls in every corner, with small cramped apartments and luxurious penthouses.
* Street vendors and bazaar items, so we could create our own street markets
* Holi and Diwali as an events and festivals in the city, and as holiday traditions
* Hair dressing chair that can be used similarly to the manicure/pedicure chair. You can use it in your home, in a salon or on the street
* Learn about their culture, and learn Bollywood dance
* lots of indian food and spices

Beautiful scenery, could be some fantastic villas, or villages, but also rentals in this area. This would be a great way to integrate the Courtyard oasis kit better into the game as it fits with the more muslim building style in some parts of this region (after all this is where Taj Mahal is situated).
* tea as a harvestable
* cows and even elefants roaming free in the region
* you could befriend an elefant similar to how you befriend a dolphin in island living
* go hiking in the mountains and natural park, with risk of death by tiger
