WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM VACATION?
 
I have a few.

1) To take an RV, and travel the entire United States. Driving the back roads to find unique places, not the usual "tourist" traps.

2) A trip to the islands of Hawaii

3) A trip to England, and the surrounding area, Ireland, Scotland, Wales.

4) Or a permanent vacation to a deserted island.... :lol: Ahhhh... Peace at last.... :wink: :lol:

Geez Red it's hard to think of just one dream vacation. LOL Like you I have a few.

1.) I'd like my hubby and I to take a cruise up to Alaska and then spend a couple of months travelling all through Alaska, Yukon and Northwest Territories.

2.) We're big history buffs, so I'd like us to take a trip and travel through France, Germany, Belgium, Holland and Austria. Then maybe hop the Channel to Great Britain and see as much of it as we could.

3.) The best vacation though would be to have a nice parcel of land, about 50 acres and build the house we'd love to have, be happy and healthy and raise our purebred Siberian Huskies. To me that would be the ultimate.

Drive safe everyone. :)

Well, a trip to hawaii sounds pretty good right about now. Sitting on the beach, drinking some lemonade, watching women run by in there swimsuits, yeah Can't beat that. Lol 8)

Ridge Runner 05-16-2007 07:28 AM

Mine is to go "Down Under" and spend 2-3 weeks in the Outback.

Piece Of Work 05-16-2007 11:48 AM

My dream vacation would be to the Atlantis resort. See it the movie Casino Royale, the latest James Bond DVD. The Website for the resort is first class.

My Dream Vacation
 
I've always said I wanted to do the Travel the 48 states and see all the major attractions and all the tourist traps! I live for that stuff! :D

But right now I'd settle for hopping in the car and driving to Omaha, Nebraska to go to the Zoo. I miss that place. I lived in Omaha for two years and loved every minute of it!

Jackrabbit379 05-16-2007 03:56 PM

I've always wanted to travel across the country. Maybe in a big truck, or something. :P :?

Be warned, its very expensive over here :cry:

RedRaven 05-16-2007 09:36 PM

I know it is very expensive in the UK. I actually have relatives in England, I could stay with, if I wanted too.

I was actually born in England, though I'm a US citizen. I have dual citizenship... Pretty nice to have... :wink: 8)

I thought about wanting to live in the UK, it would probably be a toss up between living in the countryside of Scotland, or some quaint country town in whatever is left of rural England.

Of course the issue would be the cost of housing, and finding a proper career there.

I would like to at the very least visit there before I die... :wink:

I LOVE the zoo in Omaha! I was there in '93. If I remember correctly it was rated in the top 10 in the country. Not in size but QUALITY.

Since you've not been there since'93... if ever given the opportunity you should definitly go back. I can only imagine that it's grown leaps and bounds since then. It's expanded greatly just in the nearly 4 years that I've been gone. I keep tabs on it through friends and eventually I will get back out there to visit it again. Last I heard it was in the top 5 in the world! A+ facility!

golfhobo 05-19-2007 07:02 PM

Well.... since we ARE "dreaming" and if money is no object.....

A week in Belize (Central America) to work on my tan and take in all the water sports like deep sea fishing and Scuba diving.

Followed by a week along the coast of California, playing golf at Pebble Beach and hangin' out in Monterey, and seeing the giant Redwoods around Eureka again.

Then, up to Alaska for a week of horseback camping in the Denali.

Then, over to Britain, just long enough to play the "Olde Course" at St. Andrews.

Then a week of skiing in the Alps, followed by another week of watching the sunsets from the beachside bars in Greece.

From there, I'd have to fly to Australia for a bit of shrimp on the barbie, and then the customary stop off in Hawaii on the way home!

Yeah.... THAT'LL do it!!

:lol: :wink:

Roadhog 05-19-2007 07:26 PM

My dream vacation....anywhere with Jessica Simpson. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...c27d83f71d.gif

Shawnee 05-20-2007 01:32 AM

I have been pretty much everywhere in Canada and the lower 48, but I would like to go roughing it up in the Yukon, that's one place that I would like to see more of. That's my kind of vacation, I like to do a lot of back country camping, and fishing in remote places

I would like to one day go to Scotland and see where my ancestors came from.

I would also like to travel to New Zealand.

shyykatt 05-20-2007 01:46 AM

Me n' my better half never really had a honeymoon- would love to see hawaii & Pearl Harbor, etc. Otherwise I'd be content w/just crusin' the US.

But, of course, while lying on the beach, I'd be wishing I was skiing in the Alps! :lol:

Such is life! One is never truely happy!

But, still, I can't argue with THIS choice for a dream vacation! But, anything more than a month there, makes you a resident! :lol:

eastern ontario 05-20-2007 11:27 AM

You may also want to try Spain, Hobo. I am a long term planner & it is my next vacation.

Greece is great, better temps are in later August or early Septeber.

Roadhog 05-20-2007 11:40 AM

I liked Grease....mainly because of Olivia Newton-John. :)

....mannnnn...she was HOT....in the summertime.

vavega 05-20-2007 12:26 PM

to go back to every house/apartment i ever lived in. ben guier, morocco......peoria, ill....fortuna, nd....san angelo, tx.....darmstadt, germany

then at least 2 weeks in hawaii. :D

lexiecat 11-11-2007 06:17 PM

Well I definitely would not be driving on My Dream Vacation.

Maybe a train trip across the States, West to East. With a fun friend.

or another trip to Hawaii, the big Island. I love to swim, but can't spend too long in the sun. burn easy.

I would get a massage every day.

Or a trip someplace that has Hot Springs, and a massage daily. Yeah I like that idea the best, and I can do it within my own state.

And oh yeah it is TIME for it !

Great question, thanks for getting me to think about it.

wildkat 11-11-2007 06:23 PM

My dream vacation....sit at home, put my feet up with a cold drink of some form or another....WITHOUT any view of my truck & just enjoy the peace & quiet!

I don't need to GO anywhere, just be at home, with no worries about truck payments, crappy roads, ignorant 4 wheelers, etc, etc, etc! :D :D :D

11-13-2007 06:16 PM

For me it will happen in a couple years. Going to take my family on a Disney cruise and enjoy ourselves. The cost is not to bad and we will enjoy ourselves.

NioMarvin83 02-16-2021 08:35 PM

My dream
 
I have long dreamed of a vacation to Washington. I bought a new Ford truck in a motor trader and decided to drive all the way in this car. See America with my own eyes. I worked for many years and had no time or money to go. But finally I hope my dream will come true and in the summer I will go. Of course, if the covid doesn't support my plans ...

Jonny876 02-22-2021 01:13 PM

My dream vacation is traveling by ship

dubawntgulkana 04-28-2021 11:54 PM

My vacay dream as of now is to unwind, have a long ride, go to the beaches - travel! i miss traveling so much. I cant wait for this pandemic to be over and for all of us to be safe.

YumahaCarr 05-07-2021 07:34 PM

Traveling by ship fascinates a lot but I am a big fan of traveling in Japanese trains for long journeys.

urban_buy 07-20-2021 07:04 AM

I guess that my dream vacation would be the expedition to Antarctica and it's gonna happen very soon, in 2 months. I just think that I'm the luckiest man in the world right now: the expedition, promotion at work, the 5th anniversary with th most amazing girl I've ever seen, new car. My dream life comes true) Again about the vacation, here are all the details of the expedition in case someone is interested.

Mishapr 01-04-2023 01:15 PM

I'm thinking of a beach in Maldives or Hawaii and a cute hotel room where I can play online casinos. yeah, this would be my dream vacation. Ah, the thought of spending a few days on the beach in the Maldives or Hawaii has me dreaming about it already. With my budget of $2000, I can definitely afford a nice hotel room and a few days of relaxation. I can also play the online casino daftar joker123 while I'm there to make the vacation even more enjoyable. Plus, I can explore the local area and take some great photos. It would be an amazing experience, and one I'm sure I won't forget anytime soon.

Dantiir 03-01-2023 05:20 PM

Thanks for the recommendation. Sometimes I bet on sports too, and for me it's a great way to get some extra money. Some time ago I was looking for some information related to betting and I came across this site https://freeroulettedoc.com/bonuses with information about online sports betting, upcoming events for online sports betting, and a lot of other information. I think that such a resource would be useful to someone else.
