Hmm.
Sun. Sand-- white, black pink... BLUE BLUE WATER. At an ULTRA luxury resort somewhere that has waterfalls, lush tropical foliage. Lots of peace and privacy... with an amazing coral reef to go scuba driving in. The canopy covered beach front ''bed'' things with a drink flag or something so that you can be waited on all day long. A short boat ride to somewhere ALIVE for a night on the town. And fabulous food, wine list and a Conde Nast top 5 spa. Also want a LOVELY personal pool/ plunge bath and for two. And a HUGE spa for two bathtub with incredible massaging jets.
Amazing sunsets.
And a winning lottery ticket funding me for the entire two-three weeks I''m there.

I always wanted (since I was a teen) to bop around the lesser known south pacific islands.... that''s my tropical dream vacation... my touristy dream vacation would be hitting everywhere in europe from sweeden to italy.

1. 6 months-1 year timeframe
2. Endless supply of $$$
3. A roundtrip ticket to anywhere in Europe (I started to time yourope, how silly!) as a starting point
4. A map
5. My suitcase
6. No plans, just adventure/venturing

I was brought up on a lesser known pacific island.
sadly the films don''t show you: the rats, the mosquitos, the lack of fresh water - so you have to always bath/shower in salt water, what happens when you live on a coral atoll and you slightly cut yourself (not pretty believe me), the ship only arrives once a month so by the end of the month there is nothing to east but fish, rice and coconuts which gets very boring!
Go for a BIG pacific island, trust me

Wow Pandora! I know you''ll think this is a bit freaky, but the little adventuress in me thinks that actually sounds AMAZING! Gives it an extra zing. Maybe not for years, though. And maybe not as a kid. Or for a honeymoon.
I''m the sort of person who (strangely) thinks a holiday was more exciting and fun if it involved a run in with giant centipedes or impassible flooded roads or a boat almost sinking. I''m a sucker for adventure I guess. Maybe that''s just because I''ve always managed to come out ok. I''d probably change my mind if things ever got TOO hairy.

I may be biased, but the eating is out of this world. There''s not much by way of scenery though, unlike HK.Date: 6/25/2007 10:13:46 PM

Do we need anything else???It sounds like Hong Kong. I need to add Singapore to my future Asian itinerary. Of course I actually enjoy doing other things, but eating and shopping can certainly make for a fantastic vacation!
How about going to see the giant Gippsland worms?

I actually just saw a documentary about those! So...wonderfully...disgusting!
I would TOTALLY go to Aussieland just to see those. Really. I would.

It was on a DVD from netflix (I actually don''t have a tv). I''m pretty sure it was David Attenborough "Life in the Undergrowth", DVD 1. But I watch a lot of docs (nature nerd here) so I''m not 100% that that was the one.
That series is FANTASTIC, as are "Life of Mammals" and "Life of Birds". Amazing footage... you can actually hear the footsteps of the ants and things. And Mr. Attenborough is so charming and informative.
Now that we''re engaged, I''m trying to convince FI that we should go to Australia to see those worms for our honeymoon. He is not, uh...., convinced.
