Dream destination
Here's a question....
If you suddenly found yourself with a significant chunk of time where you had no obligations, let's say a month, and a reasonable amount of money that you were forced to spend on a holiday of your choice. Where would you go? What is the place at the top of your list?
As I was walking to work this morning, passing by all the flowers that our April showers have brought out I was reminded of Hawaii, and how much I'd like to be there right now. These are the places on the top of my list, in no particular order... places I'd go at the drop of the hat, if the time and money suddenly became available.
- India (the plan right now is for an India trip in October 2007)
- South Pacific (on a boat?)
- Europe tour (visit Larry and Catherine, visit the big cities - I'm talking England all the way to Italy and Greece)
- Canada (I'd love to do a cross Canada trip by car, camping along the way. This trip would take us coast to coast to coast, I'd love to be in the North in the summer and absorb all the sunlight all day long, little bit wary of the bugs though. Even just travelling and camping and hiking throughout BC... we've got so much right on our doorstep.)
- Africa (a bit cheesy maybe to go on a safari, but I am fascinated by the "out of Africa" idea that humankind started there. Just seems so wild and natural. The poverty and disease is sad, that would be hard to absorb - same probably goes for India.)
- Hawaii (Hawaii will always be on my list - maybe the Big Island or Kauai next time)
Really I'd go anywhere though... well maybe not the Middle East right now, or Antarctica and I'm not really interested in holidaying in anywhere in the US aside from Hawaii, but Asia, South America, the Netherlands, British Isles... I want to see it all!
So.... where would you go?
Update: I should have put the Caribbean down too... I would go back to the British Virgin Islands, I'd go back to Dominica, Guadeloupe and to the Bahamas as well. Never been to the US Virgins or Cuba...) Sitting on a boat in crystal clear turquoise waters, anchored in a bay with pure white sand, drinking a margarita, humming the lyrics to Jimmy Buffett's songs (because I do know all the lyrics, haha)... so relaxing. :) Ok, your turn... :)

I'd also like to visit Eastern Canada and Quebec, and the US Eastern Seaboard (Maine, Vermont, New York, Boston), as well as Utah & Colorado (maybe for a ski trip!)
Did I miss anything? This just reminds me...I'd better check my lottery ticket tonight!
