TravelingGal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,335 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 12/29/2004	I have two... 1) over the water bungalow somewhere...mostly because I probably would never spend the money doing that and 2) taking the roach (backpack) around the world for a couple of years and just be a bum again. I'm really good at being a bum. _______________________ Travel quote of the week: "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

musey Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,163 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 9/30/2006	Right now, anywhere! The only semi-interesting places I've ever been to are Hawaii (not that interesting, anyway) and Egypt. I've been to 38 states, though!! And Canada! Seriously, New Zealand. FI and I are hoping for that for our honeymoon (if budget allows). I'd like to stay somewhere very private for at least a couple of days... maybe camping out, who knows. And see the sheep of course I have simple travel dreams!

I looked at a vacation for just 7 days and it came out to $12,000. I think that is crazy expensive.

princesss Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,575 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 3/18/2007	Greece, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Cambodia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Peru...there are a ton on my list right now! But I got a $250 airline gift certificate from my parents for my birthday, so I'm going to use it to help pay for a trip to Mexico to see Chichen Itza (and stop by Cancun for a day or two). But my absolute dream vacation would be a safari in South Africa. I almost got to go my senior year of high school, but health problems stopped me and I ended up going to Vienna and Budapest instead. Very cool, but not what I wanted. By the way, is anybody else really excited for the unveiling of the new 7 wonders? Because I'm probably more excited about it than I should be. ______________________________________________ "It's hardest to love the ordinary things, she said, but you get lots of opportunities to practice."

Independent Gal Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,471 Last Post: 1/3/2009 Member Since: 11/12/2006	I constantly dream of travel, even while I'm ACTUALLY traveling, but at the moment here are my special faves: 1) Bhutan. I have been DYING to see Bhutan. But even just a visa is something like $200 a day and they are few and far between. 2) Mongolia... must...taste... fermented mare's milk. OK, actually I'd probably skip that part. But hiring nomads to bring me along, riding and sleeping in tents, etc. for a week or so would be amazing. 3) Trek to the North Pole. I'd probably have to train for 6 months or so to be in super-ultimate shape. But how COOL would that be? And if I lost a toe to frostbite, so be it. I'd still have 9 more! 4) Wildlife watching on either South Georgia Island (near Antarctica) or in the Galapagos. 5) Tunisia. Except that last time my honey was there he was caught in a riot, pelted with rocks, and almost killed. So I'm guessing he's not keen to go back any time soon! And frankly? I'm kind of just craving some days on the beach at the moment. So, i'll join the Tahiti chorus. Hey JustJulia: My parents lived in Malawi for a bit... before I was born though.

And a quiet beach house in the Yucatan. And Russia. And...and...and...

Either go back up to the Alaskan backwoods with FI and just fish and trek for a few months, or-- Go somewhere with the best reef diving imaginable, learn to scuba, and just dive, swim, and volunteer at some marine biology place. There are other places on my list but I am actually likely to go in the future for work so they didn't make it on...

I don't want to go to Europe for a long time...I've been there 4 times and I'm over it!

That's why we aren't visiting Tahiti anytime soon. Yeah, that's unfortunate. My husband and I travel to Canada a lot and we drive rather than fly so it kills me to think of spending so much $ just to arrive somewhere! lol We are planning a big trip sometime within the next year, but I'm not even sure where yet, just currently setting aside money. I actually do have a lot of "dream" places, like Mexico, Italy, China, etc., but my husband has other dream locations, like mainly Amsterdam, so it's going to be a pain getting him to go where I want to go!!! lol (and this is why we just go to Vancouver every other month, since we can drive there w/in a few hours, but yet it doesn't cost much and we're also still very close to our kids. . .I'm not sure about flying to Europe and being thousands of miles away from my boys! They're still a bit young.)

Delicious cuisine. Fascinating architecture. Rich history. The most unbelievably positive vibe (the growth rate is incredible and almost everyone is under 30...so for them things are looking up up up!). Let's see if I have any pictures to post... I LOVED Viet Nam. I was ready to move there.
