Where would you travel if money/time is no object

[Teacher Terry]

At 5’8” I find first class much more comfortable. Only got to do it twice because I am not paying for it. It’s so expensive. SM, I agree that we have many things in common. We have also settled a estate. We took a private tour in Poland with a driver and it was great. However, he drove so fast on a 2 lane windy road that I thought I was going to die. So my solution was to sleep since I had jet lag. My friend said she looked at me and decided it was a good solution and followed suit. My poor son was in the front seat with the guide talking non stop)

I’d spend my time driving around the Great Lakes diving from June through early September.

I would really like to go to Alaska and/or Canada and see the Northern Lights - and then anything else in the area of where I would be staying. I would also like to go to Australia. After that, anywhere else!

SO has spent the money on first class to fly to europe, mainly because of the "pod" seats so that he could sleep. I refuse to spend that kind of money so we travel separately. Personally I'm good with a "more room" type economy seat and an Ambien if I'm flying eastbound on a redeye. I do also need one of those pillows to keep my head from flopping around. I may have to make my own before we make a trip like that again because I really hate the amount of stuffing behind my neck that tips my head forward. I just need the side support.

As for places I would go if money/time were no object the one thing that comes to mind is southern Africa. I've had several friends/family members go on safaris there and all of them LOVED it. (my boss did a solo self-directed safari last fall and came back with insanely amazing photos. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to do it that way...) Beyond that I just love going places. Being somewhere new, especially in a different country where the culture is not American is so much fun.

Pods are now business class. First class is an unusual beast these days. We splurged on business class for our trip to Japan as Toronto to Japan and back was just so long. Amazing. (plus got a great deal). We are doing premium economy on our trip to Europe. Just more room both directions in the seat so hubby less likely to have a panic attack.

If money no object, would do a personally designed around the world trip to visit Japan, Chiang Mai, Kenya, Europe, back home. But right now the only countries on our bucket list for real travel are Ireland and Scotland. Alaska is on next year's list for my 50th HS reunion.

Europe + London

Europe + London

I find stating "Europe" an interesting thing. Having spent 30 days in the tiny country of the Netherlands and NOT seeing it all, Europe is overwhelming. It would take years to really take it in.

Good point! I've been to 12 of them, but have never been to Eastern Europe. Would like to go there. Also, Greece would be nice, and Russia (and not just because I'm a "Democratic Socialist")

I don’t count countries, mainly because I wouldn’t total up any impressive number. DH counts airports as countries, but really dude, changing planes in the Rjikevich airport doesn’t count for visiting Iceland.

As part of reaching an age where I no longer give a F..k, I do not care that I haven’t seen anything in Italy. I haven’t been to Paris. Ever. That is shocking, no? Well, too bad. Haha.

My interest in Europe any more lies in smallish cities known for their great architecture.I want to see Eastern bloc countries, do not especially care about Germany and France. I am on the fence about visiting Russia and think I may not have enough time left to do that.

We will never get to all of them. We have been to Italy and Poland twice each and our August trip would take us to 5 more. My DIL has been to 44 countries and my son 23 that are all over the world. They chose travel instead of kids)
