Post your dream vacation here. Who cares if it will ever happen!

They Seychelles, scuba diving ancient sunken ships, eating fruit fresh off the trees, and sleeping under the stars in a cool ocean breeze.

1. Been there
Didn't do any of that, though. I also never got see La Digue, just Mahé and Praslin. Need to get back.

I'd like to have about 5 years to see every point in the world I've ever wanted to see (or return to),
and that's about 80% of the planet! I'd need Warehouse 13 to have enough room to store all the stuff
I'd accumulate along the way. Otavalo, here I come!

2. I've always dreamt of biking to the east coast, stopping in every small town .....
then spending a few weeks in Newfoundland. Some day.

4. Great Britain,
Edited on Thu Sep-01-11 01:46 AM by hyphenate
Brussels, Switzerland, Monte Carlo, Greece, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, then skipping to the Southern Hemisphere to New Zealand and Australia. Sipping Goldwasser in the Brand Place. Seeing Glastonbury, going back to London. The mountains and the UN headquarters of Switzerland. A little Baccarrat in Monte Carlo. The building devoted to old gods in Greece. Africa, forst to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx, then off to the heart of the Serengeti to stare in awe at the beautiful cats and elephants on safari with cameras. New Zealand for the best looking terrain on the planet, and Australia for the best of Sydney and Melbourne. Then a flight home to the USA, first to Hawaii, then to New York, and finally back to Massachusetts.




edit to add: Yes, I'm ambitious, but you did say a "dream" holday!

5. There are probably a thousand places I want to go
but I can't even really ponder them until I go drink Laphroaig in Scotland. I've been measured for my kilt and I just need to get a spare 8 or 9 hundred bucks that my wife will let me spend on something so frivolous (to her. lol. I've told her if she goes to yonder shore afore me I am spending the insurance money on the kilt and a plane ticket. Other wise we need to save up a bit.)

I intend to eat haggis there too and by god I'll like it!

6. Would love to go to Africa on safari and see the animals
No roughing it either - one of those fancy safaris where a chef cooks you dinner every night, you sleep on a nice soft bed with mosquito netting, etc. This kind of deal: http://www.sabisabi.com/lodges/selaticamp

9. Cottage, turf fire, books,dog and walking distance to the pub
where they have the best Porter or authentic ale. A small village anywhere in Ireland or Scotland will do. No electronic devices period-
