fantasy vacation

If you could go anywhere on earth you desire, and there was no unrest or war in the world so it would be safe to go anywhere.... where would you go?

I'd like to do a river cruise down the Rhine, see Greece, or go back to Ireland but my #1 place I am curious to see is Dubai.

I don't think any of these places have unrest or war. You should probably go enjoy yourself.

Leptis Magna in Libya. The pictures I have seen of these ancient ruins blow my mind. I have wanted to go for some time but travel to Libya has never been possible.

I've been working on my bucket list since retiring in 2013....so I have seen my three top choices: Africa, Scandinavia, Austrailia/NZ. Patagonia, Japan and Antartica are the final destinations on my bucket list.

I don't know if this qualifies, but I'd really love to see as many historic, and beautiful, and sacred places in the United States as I could. Maybe that sounds boring to some, but I've done a small amount of traveling to other countries, and I think I'd rather spend my time seeing and learning more about what we have in this lovely country.

Tahiti

I go there once a year in August.

Fantasy part: One day (in my mind) I am going to purchase a ONE WAY ticket. I already have my plot of land picked out to build my dream house.

Any vacation is a fantasy for me.

@Mz iMac You nailed it Ms IMac! This would be my dream vaca too. Buy that land now and build your dream house before it gets away from you.

My husband and I vacationed in Barbados for 20+ years. Every time we'd go, we said we'd love to buy a plot of land, build a small home to retire to there. We never did it. Now we (almost) hate ourselves for not doing that when land was so inexpensive there.

Make your dreams come true now while you still can!

I would take a river cruise in Germany. I remember when my uncle was stationed there many many years ago and the photos my aunt brought back of all the castles along the river. I have no desire to go abroad the way things are - it is way too scary.

Box seats in Arthur Ashe stadium for the two weeks of the U.S. Open. A limo to deliver me each day to the stadium and then return me to my suite at the Plaza in the evening.

I have done my dream vacation that I wanted to for years. I have had the opportunity to travel a lot but I always wanted ot go to Pripyat, Ukraine on an extreme sightseeing tour. You wear a geiger counter and get to walk around this town near Chernobyl where it eerily stands just as they left it. It was the most exciting trip I had ever been on. I also want to go on an cruise to the Antartcic to visit around there and see the old whaling stations. Not many people in the world can say they have stepped on ice there. Thankfully my husband is also the type of person who likes this kind of adventure because I don't have a lot of other traveling partners who would. Don't get me wrong,

@Irshgrl31201 My sister went to Antarctica on a group expedition. Her pictures were fantastic. It looked pretty exciting, but not for me!

I would love to visit Australia. But not sure about flying that far.

My dream vacation would be a RV road trip through the good ole U.S.A.

I've been to some of my dream diving vacations like Palau, Fiji, other parts in the Western South Pacific, as well as most of the Caribbean. But I have two others that I always wanted to do and never got to -

I wish I could have gone on a dive trip to the Galapagos, and I wish I could have gone on a Great White Shark dive trip to the Farallon Islands. I booked one such cage dive trip to the Farallons but it got the kibosh because some surfers were freaked out about a boat going out 30+ miles and chumming. That precluded them from being able to continue getting the necessary permits. Nothing against surfers, per se, but that never made sense. The chumming didn't happen until they got all the way out there, many many miles, but whatever.

I read about this fantasy golf vacation a couple of years ago. For a ridiculous amount of money, you get to go to the eight most diverse golf locations in the world. The courses at the highest and lowest altitudes, hottest and coldest, most southern and northern, the most difficult and the oldest (St. Andrews in Scotland). Price includes the private jet to each location and accommodations. A girl can dream.

I had a very long bucket list and almost completed the list when health problems struck.

Yesterday I cancelled plans for a trip to Victoria BC for April, which was on the list. The other two are Tahiti and Israel. But I have been very fortunate and have been many places in the world.
