looking for the name of this board game...?

Question

It was a board game my friend had in the early to mid 80's. The board was I think a picture of the world, and no it wasn't 'risk'. you had little peices like came with the lite bright that you would place on the board for places you've been. I am still pretty fuzzy on the details. I know the bex was quite large, and was white, for some reason I have the word Destinations in my head, but upong looking online, it's not the same board game

Answer 1

Based on your description, I'm thinking that the game you're searching for is "Rand McNally Destination: Vacation"

Big white box, but it's a picture of the US, not the world on the front. Hopefully, it's the one you're looking for.

There have been quite a few games with the world as the map.

Browsing at Boardgamegeek gives candidates
such as :

GO: the international travel game 60's on (but very long-lived)

Destination. 1968

Stratego? It's a strategy game. You try to capture the other sides flag. The pieces were blue and red. You could place bombs and had spies.
