Dream vacation

ScumLord

I know where you've been but where are you going?

Money is no object and you can visit as many places as you like but you only have 2 weeks. Any traveling between places will loose you one day. Private transport ie: private planes or helicopters are allowed money is seriously no object but space is ruled out as you couldn't get there in two weeks due to training. That Virgin space thing is allowed though.

You must do it on your own.

Actually, that Virgin Space thing would be exactly what I'd do. Anything else that I'd want to do is possible, but I simply couldn't afford space!

Caribbean

Overheal

Start off in upstate New York at Niagara Falls, across Canada by train, down west coast of U.S, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, across the country then to Florida, Universal Studios, Space Center, up the east coast then to Boston before flying back home. Realistically though, would take me more then 2 weeks cos I'd just have to branch off and stay extra days.

Zzippy

Patagonia, for some of the best trout fishing in the world. Then Buenos Aires for some drinking and looking at beautiful women. Then up to the Andes to see some of the best scenery anywhere. Some more fishing, a bit of hiking and more senoritas...
Oh no wait, thats my next holiday!

The place i really want to visit is the ice hotel in Norway. I prefer winter to summer and it's be so cool to lie on an ice bed and live in a hotel made of ice. You can go skiing and sleighing and stuff too! That's my ideal holiday. It's super expensive though... but as we are loaded in this fantasy i'll get a private jet and the finest room!

I know in Auckland they have an ice bar that you can go in, but you're only allowed in for 30 minutes cos it's so cold. You have to wear ski jackets and gloves and stuff! i have to settle for that in the near future and hit the ice hotel when i'm rich and famous!

Money no object?

Fly into Monaco the week before the F1 race, watch the race from the deck of a huge luxury yacht with a bevvie of beauties drinking the finest champange.

Then after the F1 weekend, private jet to Rome for a couple of days (if concorde was still about it would be New York) before coming home.

I'd just love to go anywhere with a nice confortable bed where I could sleep alone all night without being awoken by crying or having my hair pulled. Then again, I probably would miss my adorable sleeping partner who is 11-months-old.

Space for me please.

Sinfonia

It's a toss-up between:

Iceland (especially after seeing Sigur Rós' movie Heima. Wow.)

and

The entire United States of America

Even though i have been to vegas 5 times already i really would like to experience it high-roller style

private jet to mccarran airport las vegas, stay at salon suite room at Wynn ($1000 a night and 2000 square feet), lose a ton of money at poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, VIP entry to all the top nightclubs such as Tryst, Tao, Foundation Room etc, limo to everywhere and one of those people mover yokes the old people have so i don't have to walk anywhere

VIP helicopter trip to all the nearby national parks like Zion, Bryce, Arches, Death valley, finest champagne everywhere too

I'd love to spend time in Borris-in-Ossory. That'll be the dream anyway.

It wouldn't be a dream trip if it were time restricted.
My ideal trip is to cycle Ireland -Russia-Japan Australia, New Zealand - India- Turkey- around Africa- Norway.
At norway I would get a large row boat and row across to Iceland - Greenland - Newfoundland.
I would get another cheap bike, and cycle down to Patagonia, back up to Alaska. I would stop in Alaska for a while to live using bushcraft skills I will have mastered since (yes I am inspired by Chris McCandless), then I will travel down to the Great Lakes. After buildiing up fat reserves, I would trek over the North Pole, arriving in Russia.
From there I would head east through Siberia. Get another row boat across the Beiring Str. and travel down to Patagonia. I will row across to Antartica and trek across there. I will row across to Australia, or whatever side of Antartica I find myself, and make my way home on an undecided route.
Just a dream now, but I'm getting scarily more serious about it.

Just a dream now, but I'm getting scarily more serious about it.

Somehow people with those type of dreams sometimes manage to do them, some of my friends over at travelpunk have spent there whole life's traveling. Screw it all man, do it!

I can't really decide what I'd do, a rally driving course in Finland would be in order, I can't decide whether to finish off in Thailand to learn Muay thai boxing or finish off in Africa to do the GVI safari guide course.
