I'm not hard to please...All I ask for is a beautiful beach with turquoise water, palm trees, hot weather and lot's of fresh sea food! It's starting to get cold here in Canada and I'm starting to get antsy to hop on a plane! :-pearl:

I only need one thing to make it a dream vacation.
Johnny Depp
Anything else...where...when...is just a superfluous detail. ;)

A vacation to me is Good Food, Excellent Libations, No Schedule and the Perfect Partner....then location does not matter. Oh yeah, gotta have a nice room too!

My dream vacation would be the cruise to Alaska. I fell in love with that on an episode of the "Love Boat," when I saw the icebergs. I want to see icebergs and my favorite of all living creatures on the planet, beluga whales.

The best Vacations I have taken....
Romantic? - Rent a Villa in Mustique for 2 weeks with staff (well of course LOL)
Butch? - Marlin Fishing in Mauritius with friends
Just simply Awesome? - Penthouse on QE2 sailing around Caribbean for Xmass and New Years
Family? - gotta be Disney..though driving round Canada in an RV and staying at Four Seasons and Fairmonts was excellent. :)

:o
You...you...actually...touched them?
I sat in front of the glass tank at Sea World, hand stretched out, while they made circles so that they could keep swimming past me, making eye contact and smiling. (If some are not familiar with beluga whales, they're the big white ones with the large forheads and the smile.) I heard my husband say "she's communing." I glanced right and saw a rather wide eyed Sea World employee nodding at my husband. I guess the guy never saw anyone commune before.
I'd take the humpback tour here, but I fear it would kill me. Mama humpbacks have a tendency to swim up to the boat, check it out, then go and guide their baby up to meet the funny people. Nowhere else on the planet does a mother animal introduce their babies to humans. Usually, they take a distinctly hostile attitude. Witnessing a species that not only tolerates humans but brings up their young would make my heart burst.
You actually touched beluga whales???? Nick, I'm not an envious person. I've never envied houses, cars, money, trips...anything. I envy this.
I have to go repent now.

Napa Valley for a wine tour, Italy and Germany are also high on my list.
There are times when I just want to collapse on a beach and do nothing too :)

Let me tell you a trick....
You go and buy fish. Lots of it.You squish the fish in yr hand. Do this for about 30 mins. Dangle fingers in water.
LOL
Ok..it also helps that if you pay the park workers they will take you to the front of the line during feeding time. :)

Hmmmm ... I have a sneaking suspicion that whenever I do retire, there will be an RV tour of civil war battlefields in my immediate future. I've also half-jokingly talked about walking the Appalachian Trail when I retire.
As for anywhere in the world ... I've always wanted to see Scandanavial & Russia/the former Soviet Republics.
Wouldn't mind going back to Spain & Portugal, either ... methinks it would be much more interesting sober.

As far as what there is to see ... won't know that until I get there, and it depends on how much imagination you have.

hehe Sorry, PD. Couldn't help myself. :)
I'd like to see (eesh, so many places) ... Italy, Ireland, Australia, Hawaii ...
Two places in the continental US I'd like to see again, San Francisco and New Mexico ... I really found New Mexico to be amazingly beautiful.
Caribbean ... Nassau/Paradise Island need a revisit by me too. I wouldn't go to Jamaica again. St. Martin/Maarten I'd like to see. Bermuda and Curacao as well.

I've been to *one* battlefield, and I won't be seeing another. What I saw, and most importantly, what I *felt* was nearly unbearable.

Back in the mid-80s I had a very good friend who inherited a house in an old St. Louis neighborhood that happened to be undergoing a renaissance. She spent exactly one night there, and refused to even go back in it. When anyone asked her why, she would just say it felt "evil." She was a bit of a flake, anyway, so I thought the "urban pioneer" idea was just another of her phases (she had a lot of them). She sold the house for a very nice chunk of change..
About three years ago I was doing some digging around on the net about Civil War history. The house she inherited was built on the ground of a rather infamous Civil War prison where lots of people met less than pleasant fates, often for no more reason than they'd pissed off their neighbor or mother-in-law (border states had a lot of fun that way).
For the record - I think what drove out Ms. Suburbanite was a combination of the looks of her neighbors, who had not been gentrified, and the sounds of trucks, trains and barges (she was less than a quarter-mile from the Mississippi, and three blocks away from the original Anheusser-Busch brewery).
But who the hell knows ...

I would have to recommend visiting the Somme, I spent 11 years driving past it on almost a monthly basis.
We stopped there once purely because we were ahead in our schedule and I have to admit I'm glad we did. There's the electric sense that something beyond understanding happened there. Indescribable.

The Somme? Are you shitting me Trev? Unless they have opened a fucking Disney World on the Belgian border you have to be on crack :)
Where are you going next? A romantic tour of Auschwitz followed by an ear necklace shopping trip in My Lai?
What happened to Mediterranean beaches or a Carribean cruise?
Remind me when you come up to Vancouver and we can go hang out at the Wounded Knee massacre site.
Fun for all the family :)

Dear Trev,
I have evaluated and consider your arguments.
After review and weighing statements and arguments on each side of the question in hand and despite your very amiable offer , my associates and myself have plumped for the short sharp kick in the nuts form of restitution.
Call us old fashioned if you like. :)
Trusting this letter finds you well.

Then you/your associates would need to make a trip to the Sunderland Royal Infirmary, I'm sure they keep such things for a while before sending them off as medical waste. :)
