We had lunch every day out in the coutry at small tavernas or just in the woods with grape leaves and tomatoes--and good ones they were--Hope you get to go.

Thanks!
It may not be soon but I think I'll go eventually lol.

I'd love to go to Brazil. The women...oh god. I may be married, but I'll still say that.

I'd also love to go to the land of aussies, new zealand and probably japan. I'd totally eat that live octopus on a stick that they always show on japanese food documentaries.

Trust me - the more you travel, the less adventurous your eating habits will become.
There's nothing pretty about having food poisoning on a 13-hour transcontinental flight. :no:

i dont know ya'll love to go to NZ. its just a land of sheep, sheep and more sheep... did i forgt the sheep shaggers?

most NZers go to oz instead of the other way around. we may go for a weekend. they come for a lifetime :D

theemaan, if your into the drive, make sure you do the Great Ocean Road drive. by far the best drive in the country. if you're flying into sydney, take the drive down to victoria, then around the coast and head towards adelaide. the 12 apostles is amazing. look up the drive on google, you should be able to find a tonne of stuff.

Could I also add JAPAN to my original response?

Thank you.
I really like & admire the Asian culture, people (& food) and it looks like a magical place!

theemaan 07-23-2009 04:19 AM

Thanks Dlish-I will surely look into it. It Seems the other area we were thinking about is going to be too wet in Feb. So This might be the trip to take

cellophanedeity 07-23-2009 07:08 AM

I want to see Canada. Especially Nova Scotia and BC.
I want to see where my grandparents grew up in England and Ireland.
I want to visit Goa and New Delhi in India.
I want to see Greece and Rome for the history.
I want to see Paris for the art.
I want to see the future in Japan.


I want to live in Toronto. I love it here.

I know right? Isn't it awesome how many things one can accomplish whilst single? I wonder why the hell folk like Zeraph don't jump on this bandwagon?

also, I want to do this:

It isn't that hard to leave Ohio. :)

What movie is that from? I've seen it before (and that was the best part of the movie).

And you don't take a taxi from Heathrow to the City Center. You take the Underground. :thumbsup:

------------------------------------------------

I've been to London, Paris, Nice & Monaco and they were all great, but Sydney is still still my favorite city. Especially if you go an hour north of the city. You are close enough to the city, but it's amazing how many fewer people there are. Australia wins on my Best Country in the world that I've been to. Western Canada isn't too bad if it is warm. I'm not sure I would be able to handle the winters or the rain though.

I haven't been to the South island of New Zealand, and maybe it was that the weather wasn't great when I was there, but I had a better time in Australia.

Ibiza is someplace I still want to visit. I was so close (and if I had another week or two of vacation, I would have gone there).

I would like to visit Norway or Sweden one day (in the summer). Japan would also be an interesting place to go, but is too expensive to live there. Brazil (Rio) and southern Chile would also be fun to visit durning Carival. The Caribbean and pacific islands would be good.

I need to build a large boat and sail around the world for a few years.

Clark Kent 07-25-2009 07:01 PM

Somewhere that is at room temperature ALL THE TIME.

Telluride 07-27-2009 07:10 AM

Places I would like to live:

In America -

Telluride, CO
San Francisco, CA, or New York City (if the political climates were different)
San Diego, CA

Overseas -

Hong Kong
New Zealand
Israel (I'm not Jewish, but the history of the Middle East fascinates me)
Vienna, Austria
Goa, India
Tokyo, Japan

As far as places I'd like to visit...I think other countries and cultures are fascinating, so I'd like to visit any place was that was safe (in other words, no wars, massive amounts of terrorism, ethnic/tribal conflicts, disease epidemics, etc. going on).

MonicaCo 07-27-2009 07:34 AM

I still wasn't able to visit Australia but hopefully I'll be doing that next year.

Shell 07-27-2009 08:38 AM

...i'm spoiled...where i live in North Carolina it's not too far from the Blue Ridge Mountains, not too far from the Outer Banks, summer beaches, autumn colors, spring flowers, mild winter snowfalls, and close to my family.

...the only difference i long for is less humidity and mosquitos during lateJuly/earlyAugust. A good time for a one month vacation to a cooler/drier climate...any suggestions?


:rose:

Canadian Rockies or Destin/Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Northern Michigan isn't too bad either (Traverse City/Mackinaw City & Island). There may be bugs though.

You have more sheep than us, plus I think that out of the two of us (If you're Aussie) you're the only country to have people been caught fucking em to make news.

I'm not saying there's not some crazy sheep fucking bastard out there, but if there is he's smarter than your Aussie sheep fuckers.

Now that's national pride right there.

Heehee.

To get back on topic, that photo of Western Montana posted by Genuinegirly is beautiful.

If I wanted to see "stunning" in NZ I wouldn't go past the marlborough sounds.

Would like to visit Italy and BC.

ASU2003 07-28-2009 06:43 PM

Western Montana/Wyoming/Colorado (American Rockies) are good as well.

And New Zealand did have a lot more cows than I would have thought. I saw more cows than sheep I'm sure.

mirevolver 07-29-2009 12:16 AM

Part of me wants to move back to Colorado to live.

Internationally, I would love to live in Berlin. My first time there, I fell in love with the city. My second time there I didn't want to leave. My third time there I felt like a local. Also Berlin has an added bonus, now that the wall is gone, you get two cities for the price of one.

underdun 07-29-2009 12:41 AM

Pripyat Ukraine, would love to see chernobyl

deportes 07-29-2009 04:09 PM

I would like to live in Vina del mar, Chile from november to april, then travel the great north american countries. via mtorhome. From alaska to guatemala. Fishing, smoking, eating, drinking etc. What a great idea.

We also intend 14-15 days in a caravan(camper) so we can see more out of the way stuff. Any ideas are welcome.

You could do a tour in the Kimberley region - I'd suggest this isn't an area that you want to do without serious amounts of gear. Think desert without much in the way of population. My parents have been and said it was amazing, but you really don't want to break down out there.

not per capita ;)

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Alaska - check
NZ - check
Mainland US - check (though I've only been on the west coast).
Hong Kong - check

Other places I'd like to go:
UK - Scotland mainly (for my heritage - and the castles).
East coast US

I'm happy where I live. Someone mentioned an hour north of Sydney - that's pretty much me, almost exactly an hour on the train from the middle of sydney :)
