If time and money were no object....... where would you like to travel to ?
How would you get there ?
Once there, what would be your most exciting adventure ?

Re: Where would you go?
 

If I had time and money was no object.................

I would go to BARBADOS .........sit on the sandy beaches all day..........with plenty of beer and never ever come back (and I would take tinks with me) as I would get bored on my own:D

Re: Where would you go?
 

I would gladly come with you Slinky I'll meet you at the travel agents tomorrow!


I have always wanted to do a 12 month tour of American and visit the none commercial towns and Cities. Not very exiting I know but it's always been a dream of mine ...... maybe one day ............. :rolleyes:

Oh and couldn't take Slinky with me or we'd probably be thrown out of the country :D !!

Re: Where would you go?
 

Dreams are what it is all about.......if you don't have dreams then you can't make them come true.

That'll be the day!

Re: Where would you go?
 

Its really got me thinking this thread, I would love to see the world but especially spend a lot of time in Australia, visit the Pacific Islands inc Maldives etc and travel up Route 66 stoping off at leisure, I would fly first class and really live it up, anyway time to check my lottery ticket!

Re: Where would you go?
 

If i wasnt scared of flying i'd shoot off to a desert island where everything was already provided,nice weather,and my own girl friday to wait on me hand and foot.
Dont think my rugrats would be happy though!.....lol

Re: Where would you go?
 

Jason... you could always sail to your Desert Island!

Re: Where would you go?
 

It needn't be anywhere specific - just somewhere that no one was making any demands on me. Where I always called the shots and people just did whatever I said, when I said it. Now that's a real fantasy.

Re: Where would you go?
 

the moon

button moon preferably :D

Re: Where would you go?
 

l would go back in time to 1968, to when l was three. To look for my Elephant l lost on hoilday in Denmark. l still miss him. :(
Sorry not the journey you wanted, but it's one l'd make, but only for a day because otherwise it would be another 20 years before l earned any money.

Re: Where would you go?
 

Somewhere warm but not too hot. Anywhere but a muddy field in Carnforth! Somewhere with plenty of history and lots of interesting things to see.

Lazy Bu**er.........:p

Re: Where would you go?
 

I would start at the place of my birth and seek the truth of my ancestors that done I would travel the all of the UK on horse back or a motor bike, something loud and expensive. like a Harley or a Gold Wing. I would then do the same across Europe and the continents….. With money, a good woman and a reliable bike, your can go anywhere……..but look around you and see whats there, you may surprise yourself…………………..

Re: Where would you go?
 

I like the idea of just setting off and touring but rather than by bike I'd prefer a Winnebago. Probably start off small, touring UK and Ireland and then work up to a tour of the USA.

After a second week in a muddy field comfort means a lot to me. ;)

Amen to that Willow, but it's just a sign that we are of an age that passed its prime sometime past. At least we can admit it and for that we are stronger.....

Re: Where would you go?
 

don't dream it-do it,something i learnt after a great loss.

Re: Where would you go?
 

Re: Where would you go?
 

Can't you just tell I've been out on the p***...................lol

Re: Where would you go?
 

I think I actually understood what you were saying there.

Re: Where would you go?
 

I've been to button moon

I followed Mr. Spoon

to button moon


sorry :o !!

Re: Where would you go?
 

it wasn't mr. spoon you was following tinks it was me you daft woman........:p

Re: Where would you go?
 

your spot on doug,agree entirely.

Re: Where would you go?
 

i did my dream 10yrs ago, i went to see my friend in australia, something i'd always said i would do when i was 60yrs but i was lUcky & did it ten yrs earlier, but if i had the money i would go again, tour the whole of auss, then cruise the world back HOME , to the place i love ACCRINGTON.

Re: Where would you go?
 

It has to be a world cruise on board a luxury liner with fabulous food, (that I don't have to cook) and no grillpans to wash. Waking up every few days in a different environment.

Re: Where would you go?
 

I am amazed that there are not more intrepid adventurers out there.

I would like to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Swim with Dolphins at Monkey Mia........Go Sand toboganning on Moreton Island........I would like to explore Machu Pichu.......I would like to snorkel somewhere on the Red Sea.......I would like to see the Pyramids at sunset.
I would choose to fly to all my destinations......in a private plane......or first class........
Maybe one day!

Re: Where would you go?
 

Doug, you are so right. My parents put off travelling until Mum retired.......Dad only lived six weeks after Mum retired.......so now she goes to the places they would have visited without him......how sad is that?

Don't wait......do it now!

Re: Where would you go?
 

Margaret, the best advice yet, what was that old saying "there are no pockets in shrouds"
Total agreement on that. Do it whilst you can !!!

Re: Where would you go?
 

Two things I always planned on retirement:-

1. Order a Morgan.
2. Go across the Sahara. By the time I got back, the Morgan might be available.

I have had No. 2 planned for years. First I will fly out to Tamanrasset, which is the last outpost for planes. Then by Land Rover down to the Air. Then pick up a salt caravan (by camel) across the whole of the Sahara to Bilma in the Sudan.

Then probably off to a luxury hotel in Egypt to soothe my aching bum in the Jacuzzi!

The whole trip would take a minimum of three months, so it has to be a retirement job.

However, thanks to Equitable Life, both 1 and 2 look very far away!

The other great one? - I haven't seen him for ages, so don't know if he's still planning it. A friend of mine from Aussie had his schooner down there. He wanted to bring it over to moor in St Katharine's Dock. He needs a crew of 8 minimum for safety. Out of Aussie, acoss the Pacific, up the coast of South America, through the Panama Canal, via the Bahamas, then across the Atlantic to the Canaries, and up from there passing Gib. I only wish I could ...... but under sail it would take a very long time.

Re: Where would you go?
 

I've always wanted to go coast to coast across the USA by train,I'd start in Newyork
see the sights there and all the other city's on the way,Chicargo,Denver ,LA ,get on the train and see the great plians,Rocky's etc One day I may do it!:)

Re: Where would you go?
 

On an archeaolgical (sp?) dig in Greece. I had the chance when I was 18 and always regretted not going.

Re: Where would you go?
 

You bl**dy fool.......lol. I'll come with you and share the cost's 50/50 :)

Re: Where would you go?
 

If you get the chance to do something you want to do always do it! Lifes to short and there's nothing worse than think "I should have!"

Re: Where would you go?
 

Always quite fancied Egypt;but will settle for Italy! Iwould love to have a good look at all the Pyramids and the Valley of the Kings.

Re: Where would you go?
 

I want to see Petra in Jordan, Egypt and Iraq would also be on the books of an archaeological tour. But Rome, Greece and Turkey would be first after a tour of our own country……..

Re: Where would you go?
 

For the five years before I retired in 2002, I saved my pennies and planned a six month trip to Australia. We went in the January of 2003 and visited all the places that you read about.
The great Barrier Reef.......Uluru(AKA Ayers Rock) Alice Springs, Kings Canyon........took the dawn walk around the canyon. Mount Buffalo and the Victorian snow fields......though at the time they were devastated by the bush fires that had raged during the early part of that year. We visited Perth and I met up with friends from 30 years ago. Sydney, but I didn't climb the bridge...for which I am truly sorry......I needed someone to go with and hubby point blank refused. Melbourne for the Grand Prix.......South Australia and the vinyards. It was an absolutely awesome trip.........and worth every penny.
We flew everywhere business class and I loved it. At the end of the six months I didn't want to come back.......I wanted to skip off and 'go bush'. Pendy... the best advice I can give you is follow your dream! I have somewonderful memories that will sustain me when my travelling days are done.

Re: Where would you go?
 

If i had the dream come true of going anywhere i think it would have to be the place you see on all the jahovahs witnesses books that place where they have water falls with real blue water and children playing endlesly in the sun no worrys no war no badness ho yes and lots of fruit!

How would i get there well let me see, i did want to be a jahovas witness when i was little so maybe thats what you have to do to get there become one.

I dunno dream dream dream,
