What would be your perfect trip?

[smashy]

First of all, I love to travel. I love to know different countries, different cultures, have many experiences, it really energizes me a lot.

So, assuming you also like travelling, where would you go and with whom?

My perfect trip would be through Africa or America by jeep or motorbike. With my closest friends. I would be camping here and there, and just living for the moment. This could take months, of course and would just make me feel alive, much more then being fullfilled by jobs or etc.

Three perfect trips (if the world was perfect):

1. Ancient monuments and archeological sites. Middle East, Standing Stones, the lot! - with archeological guides (naturally).

2. European Middle Ages and Byzantine Empire. More relics, forts, castles, churches... I love this period almost as much as the Ancient stuff. - with archeological guides.

3. Go native on a Pacific Island. Hack down a few coconuts, make a basic shelter, live like I just don't care. Might last for a week or two before I need to get back with information and technology again - but it would be lovely. - few friends of philosophical bent and husband.

I have the opportunity for some of the first choice, but I can't do it because of medical conditions (bugger, bugger, bugger...).

[Tahte]

Because I'm a city girl and I can't drive, I tend to travel to other big cities. But someday, I would love to see Africa too. As many countries as possible. I'd have to find travel companions because neither my friends nor family would be up for it.

[ccowart]

I want to see the Patagonian glaciers.

[PHS Philip]

Long road trip + hiking, both alone. Maybe going to Scandinavia again, I haven't been there since I was 8.

[rara avis]

First thing that always comes to mind is a couple of months in England. Actually, I might start in Hay-on-Wye, Wales.

I'd also like to go to Croatia and use it as a hub to travel out from.

And, this might not be perfect... but I'd like to do a road trip across the south of Canada.


OH- and Turkey!!!

[Aviatrix]

I have two perfect trips

1. Tahiti. In any way, shape or form. It has been my dream since I was a child.
2. Canoe accross Canada. I love canoe tripping, but never get to go long enough.

I love those too. ;)

I want to start off with a 1 year RTW backpacking trip, then probably spend 2 - 3 weeks on one area of interest each year.

[Kisai]

I could spend years in Egypt researching monuments.

I'd like to do a Tokyo and Hong Kong tour. I love going to metropolises.

My dream trip, which will also become a reality within the next 2 years will be a 6 month stay in Thailand, living in a bungalo outside of a thai boxing gym, training twice a day, 6 days a week for 6 months and having 3 or 4 professional fights while i'm there, don't have to worry about life or socializing with media brain washed sheep, just eat and breathing thai boxing with other boxers who I respect at the camp, it will be paradise.

Not to mention the yummy lady boys for the weekends ;D

[theunstrungharp]

I like backpacking over the most beautiful and most rugged terrain available. I am still learning how to like more conventional travel. Sometimes if I book at campsites rather than hotels, I can trick myself into not just pining for home all the time.

Canoeing across Canada sounds good too. I think Alex Ross's Coke Stop In Emo was about that, if I recall correctly, which is unlikely...

Britain I can understand (heck, I'm there for christ's sake, it must be good!). But Hay-on-Wye, Wales bemuses me.

Why do you want to go there?

In fact, why do you even want to go to Wales at all? ;)

[Harmony]

Camping... I absolutely love camping...

[Synapse]

I've always just wanted to go to Japan and just suck in their culture there. That would be so cool. :)

[Thunderstrat13]

I would find myself a nice comfortable vehicle and drive west.When I come back it would be from the east.I'd do it again in Europe.

[Krazy P]

My favorite trips have been to remote wilderness areas. Sleeping on the ground, that sort of thing. Been to the Arctic a few times including ANWR, Brooks Range, Canadian Arctic ... fun places.

The bush plane drops you off and you are on your own for awhile. Cool wildlife I have seen - lots of grizzly, polar bear, musk ox, beluga whale and thousands and thousands of caribou.

[thatfox]

My perfect trip would be 6 months to Northern Canada where I could photograph the Arctic Foxes in their natural habitat. I've always been fascinated with Arctic Foxes and it really would be a highlight of my life to spend a significant period of time observing and photographing them.

Ditto, with the choices above. My perfect vacation, if it ever happened will need to be divided in two:

The first one will be only with a special person in my life to a nice, relaxing, resort.... on an island far away from everything... just the two of us.

The second one would be with my kids to Disney and then Spain to learn more about my family history.


Outside of that, I would like to visit the 7 wonders of the world, and admire and study the architectural details as well as the archeological details in the area.

Maybe in the next two years I can do at least one... who knows... but I certainly need to types of vacation... One away from the kids, and one with the kids.

[Rawen]

I'd go anywhere, as long as I'm listening to the doobie brothers.

[zibber]

A couple of weeks in a cabin on the isle of Skye. Hike through gorgeous nature all day, meeting no one, come home and prepare your own meal, then hang out and watch BBC.

LOL
Actually I always want to do a martial arts themed trip too. Travel around the world and practice 2, 3 month for each martial arts of interests. That would be very costly unfortunately.

Hay-on-Wye = bookshops. From what I understand, lots and lots of used & antiquarian bookstores.

If that is the case, then as well as Hay-on-Wye = books, Hay-on-Wye also = Astounding marketing activities.

[SeaCzar]

I guess I am really lucky, because I make the perfect trip 3-4 times a year. Destination: Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. I usually stay in Buxton. Next year, for the first time, I am staying on Ocracoke Island for a week. In 2007, "Dr Beach" named Ocracoke the best beach in the United States.

Bare bones requirement: Something I've never done before. Anything that begins with that would be perfect. All of the setbacks and other little crap that happens along the way just results in a better story to tell and a more unique and, often humorous, memory. Would I have chosen to get lost in Florence for 8 hours on foot with a sprained ankle and the weirdest guy I've ever known, no. But did I get to see parts of the city that tourists don't normally see and test my mettle, yes.

[bmartinl]

Fly fishing in Jackson, Wyoming...knee deep in cold water, pacing up and down the great river...

[PillowSoup]

If I suddenly acquired twenty thousand dollars I'd like to buy a Suzuki Hayabusa, fly to Seattle then have a long-ass trip from there all the way up through to New York.
Maybe I'd find somewhere I like along the way and live there.

[Freedom Geek]

Perfect you say?
A spin around the solar system, the galaxy and anything else interesting in the universe followed by a visit to every awesome NT place in the world finishing with a trip to a place where I can get the supplies to build a perfect libertopia NT land in the middle of the ocean.

[AnotherNormal]

I want to take the train from China to Tibet, mostly to see the landscape in between.
