ceez Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 so what's your dream vacation or place you really want to visit. or if you where lucky enough to have one where was it and what was your favorite part. I've always wanted to go to Venice and maybe Rome. Link to comment
Seymore Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Dropped everything and drove to Los Angeles, solo. Nothing planned - not where I was going to stay, nothing. I remember on the 3rd night I stayed at some dump in Needles, CA - no A/C, it was over 100 degrees at 10pm. But I wouldn't have had it any other way. It was all by ear. Stopped in Utah, decided what the heck, I'd like to see the Grand Canyon even though it's a couple hundred miles out of the way. Mount Rushmore? Kinda out of the way, but what the hell, I'll do that. The whole trip was like that. I'd been to Europe and while it was nice, nothing beat the feeling of pure, unadulteraded freedom. Can't wait to do it again someday. Link to comment
sidehop Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 All of Europe, then Australia, New Zealand, parts of Africa...so many places. Link to comment
DanDee Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Venice is incredible. Italy as a whole is tbh. But for me: South America, Japan, parts of the USA (California mainly), New Zealand, Kenya, South Pacific islands and, many more... Link to comment

Seymore Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 that sounds so awesome, me and my friends almost took a trip like that to Atlantic City, NJ but they chickened out at the last minute I did it solo, so can you. You don't need friends to do it, and you don't need anyone to share it with. The fact that I did it on my own is still amazing to me. Racing down the highway, singing at the top of my lungs, not having to stop for someone ELSE to pee or having to change the CD because someone ELSE wants to hear something...a year and a half later and the trip still hasn't sunk in.

My boyfriend and I both had a free long weekend, and we just decided to go on a road trip up the California coast. We stopped at multiple locations all the way up and it was a blast! I would love to do it again. We live in orange county and drove up to the Oregon state border, and then went back home. So much fun. I love road trips! Link to comment
sweetpea03 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 My dream vacation would be to go to Italy!!! Link to comment
karvala Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 so what's your dream vacation or place you really want to visit. or if you where lucky enough to have one where was it and what was your favorite part. I've always wanted to go to Venice and maybe Rome. Do it! Venice is a marvellous place; of all the places I've been, it's probably the one that I most want to go back to. Rome is very impressive too in a different way, and in reality you can go to both places on a single vacation if you have time. Link to comment
sherryberrypie Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 An Antarctic cruise, fly down to Chile, spend a week or more exploring and enjoying the heat, then embark on a cruise south, where the scenery changes from tropical to glaciers and and penguins on ice floes. Link to comment

sosilver Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I would loooove to visit Turkey, Morocco, Egypt and most of Europe as well as Ireland! Link to comment
iwannarun Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Oh man. An around-the-world trip for a year. Rent a car in the early June, drive from California up to Oregon, Washington, and finally Vancouver, Canada. From there, fly to Toronto. From Toronto to New York and Boston. (North America would take a month and a half) From Boston to Iceland, then to Denmark. Fly from Denmark to Norway and take trains there and to Finland/Sweden. (Another 2 months) Fly to Germany, then take trains to Switzerland and Belgium (Another 2 months!) Make sure I get to see Croatia and Greece, then float in the Dead Sea in Turkey. (Another month and a half) After that, I would head down to South Africa for 2 months, renting a Jeep to drive around the country. Then fly to New Zealand, stay for a month. Then go around to the Pacific Islands for a month, including Fiji, Solomon Islands, Cook Islands, and Samoa. Then go to South America for the remaining month...specifically Argentina and Bolivia. Then fly up to San Francisco. PHEW! That would be a crazy year, and SUPERRRR expensive, but I would be insanely happy if I could ever do that Link to comment
BritterSweet Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Ziplining in Canada (as well as visiting relatives), or checking out the castles in Scotland. Link to comment
ApocalypseDreams Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Wouldn't be a "vacation" as such but Capetown to Cairo is a trip I really hope to do in the not to distant future. Link to comment
hear_her_roar Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well, I'm Canadian, and I'm happy to say that my dream vacation was actually to Halifax, Nova Scotia. I went there on a high school trip and it was amazing! I've had the luck to live in many regions of my country but never near the ocean, and I'd never been to the eastern coast. It was such a cool experience to visit a place that was so different from my home without having to leave the country! The food was great - even for someone who detests seafood like myself - and the scenery was astounding! The culture and history are so rich and proudly displayed, at least from what I saw. I'd definitely suggest it for anyone thinking of travelling! As a youngen I visited somewhere (can't remember where) in the Mayan Riviera with my parents as well, and that was boss. Apart from all the neat ruins and beaches, there were lizards EVERYWHERE, which tickled my fancy. My dream vacation now? New Zealand! My boyfriend and I dream about moving there one day, or even just doing a work exchange for a year or so... and going on vacation there is the logical first point. I would love to learn about the culture, my boyfriend would love to explore the awesome landscape, and both of us are giant nerds so the novelty of it being where the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed certainly helps.

gingerlemon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I've travelled a fair bit, but still high on the list of places I'd like to go: two month language course in France a couple of months in West Africa diving holiday in South East Asia+ the Caribbean hiking holiday in some beautiful mountains somewhere a couple of weeks on a beautiful beach... Fiji? ...OK, time to stop day dreaming... image removed Link to comment
Lady Luck Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've never left the US.. blahhhhh!! My dream vacation would be to go to Egypt and study the culture, from Ancient up until now. I have always found it fascinating ever since I took a course on it in 6th grade (got a 100 in that class, ha!). I love the art of their culture, the hieroglyphics, architecture, it's all beautiful. And the people are a good example of how I believe Americans should be: revolutionary. Oh, and it's hot over there. I HATE the cold weather we have over here! Link to comment
