What's your dream vacation?

Climbing Everest. That would be the ultimate for me.

She-lish loves lazy holidays. I couldnt handle a lazy holidays because i could sit on a beach anywhere in the world. I figure that i could be doing more with my time.

 

Backpack through New Zealand

 

Traveling all over Japan for a year, visit many of the different cultural heritages and sample much of the culinary delicacies in the different regions.

 

You know those lawn chairs they set up for sale outside in Walmart parking lots during the Summer? Paradise!

 

Oooh! I wanna go too, but drop me off at Westpac Stadium.

 

ooh rugby girls

 

I'll pick you up after I'm done scuba diving....

 

i'll just hang out on the beaches in miami for all time... that'd suit me well

 

Swingers cruise sounds wonderful.

 

Dragon*Con is so very awesome, and the only real "vacation" we take...but we've been saying, as fun as it is, it's not exactly relaxing.

A dream vacation for me would be something that mixes lazy and active...sleeping in and laying around by the pool/lake/ocean, but also doing things like skiing, hiking, and swimming. I've been wanting to go to Costa Rica for years now.

I'd also love to do a volunteer vacation...spend some time on a wildlife sanctuary in Africa, or work with turtle conservation projects in Mexico.

 

For me the best vacation is one that totally removes work related thoughts from my mind. Generally that means I need to be active or involved for that to happen. Even something as mundane as taking a few days off to paint the trim on the house will do that. Ideally, a few days of activity to make sure I am 'unplugged' followed by a few days of relaxation.

 

My real dream vacation, which I never expect to actually be able to take, would start in California, in San Francisco: we'd rent a car, road trip down the coast to Los Angeles, and the turn east, taking the southern route across the country, seeing the Grand Canyon, the Gulf Coast, then angling up through the South, seeing the sights as we go, until we get to Washington DC, spend some time there, then follow the east coast north, until we got to New York. Spend some time there, then cross the Atlantic by ship, to England. Spend a few weeks touring the British Isles, then take the train to Paris, and spend the next couple of months wandering around Europe by train, city to city, all over Western Europe, and working just a little bit into Eastern Europe. We'd save Greece for last, see the sights there, and then go by ship to Israel, and end up there, touring the country and crossing over to Egypt to see the pyramids and whatnot, and over to Jordan to see Petra, before settling in to spend a good chunk of time in Jerusalem-- enough time to merit a short-term apartment rental or suchlike.

It's not that I wouldn't be interested in seeing some other places. But this would really be my ideal trip.

 

A long vacation would be a dream.

 

Also: Years ago, ZombieSquirrel and I talked about doing a cross-country road trip, hitting all the obnoxious roadside attractions (like World's Biggest Ball of Twine, that kind of thing.) If we could get our hands on an RV, and if we could both take the time to make it a leisurely trip, I'm pretty sure that would be the best vacation ever.

 

Greek isles and tour of Italy. For the delicious food and crystal blue waters.

Am going to Spain for the second time in March. That's a dream come true right there!
