Where is Your Dream Destination?

Post by MileHighPirate »

Where is somewhere you want to go to more than anywhere in the world?

8)


Right off the bat, I know that I want to go to Kauai.

Three or four solid weeks in Kauai.

I have been to Maui, Oahu, The Caribbean, etc.

Kauai is a place I could escape to RIGHT NOW and enjoy every single moment.

YOUR TURN. It could be Vegas, your own backyard, China, WHATEVER.

The Dream is Alive in your own Mind!

Tahiti. Without a moment's hesitation.

Nicely done!

Tahiti is definitely way up on my list as well.

I've got a buddy of mine who recently went there.

When/If he sends me pics, perhaps I'll send you a PM and show you what he saw.

I'm with you guys on the Tahiti thing. (Rangiroa and Bora Bora would be lovely, I'm sure.)

Also back to St. John. or St Vincent.

Garry, I'd love to do the Czech Republic too. (They make lot of beads there) and that is the home of my hubby's ancestors as well.

Christine, I'll join you at Cane Garden Bay.

KK I'd love to tour Ireland again (without the cast this time thank you)

Kauai again (without the torrential rain/flood we ran into)

Oh and Bali would be another place we'd love to visit.

Shouldn't have gotten me started on this I could go on forever :P

I'd like to slip the lines on our 30' sailboat and just start island hopping. My dream is to leave Vermont via the southern end of Lake Champlain, sail down the Hudson River to NYC and head south along the Coast til we get to Northern Florida. Then head over to the Bahamas and explore the Exumas and other outer islands, finally making our way to Turks and Caicos. Then head south down to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and down to Bonaire and Curacao. From there head East to the Grenadines, up thru Barbados, Martinique, Dominica, St Barts, Anguilla and onto the BVI. From there up to Puerto Rico, do some diving in Cuba and then up to Key West. From there sail up the Gulf Coast to Tampa Bay and to the marina in Gulfport, Fla.

Someday I will

We have always said we wanted to spend a month on Tahiti and the neighboring islands.
The goal was to make the trip for our 20th anniversary this fall, but it looks like it will be our 25th instead.

Over the years we have had a lot of "dream destinations"...and luckily we've had a chance to visit most of them. Some were great, some not so much and one was so perfect we moved there (Playa Del Carmen). Still, even when you live in paradise, you don't stop dreaming or traveling. In our garden in Mexico we have a sign we made showing some of our favorite dream destinations ( http://playazone.wordpress.com/category ... el/page/3/ ). We have been to all except the top one...Havana. That mysterious jewel is still on our "must see" list. Someday we will. But for now we continue to be "Havana Daydreaming". :D

We'd have to say The Jalousie Plantation in Soufriere, St. Lucia would have to be our next dream destination. We visited briefly during a southern Caribbean cruise and loved the beautiful beach. The snorkeling was amazing as you swim along the edge of the Pitons and look down as they disappear into the abyss. St. Lucia has 365 beaches, one for each day of the year.

I think outer space would be fun. You know, a trip to the moon. I hear there is a beach house there. :)
But, here on Earth, I'd go back to Kauai or Australia (Syndey/Melbourne) or Steamboat Springs in CO during ski season.
For some place new, there are so many place to choose from:
Canadian Rockies
Australia - Western side or North eastern side
Ireland
Spain/France/Switzerland. Heck, pretty much any part of Europe.
Of course, I'd like to see more of the US too (Tahoe, Grand Canyon, Crater Lake).
Twenty degrees and the hockey games on...

I have many travel dreams. Here are some more:
In my country, Canada: Newfoundland, Iqaluit, Whitehorse, the Gulf Islands of BC
Nearby: St Pierre & Miquelon (the little bit of France just off Newfoundland)
In the US: following the Mississipi down to the Gulf, more of Florida, Tenessee, more of New England, wherever my friends and JB are....
In Europe: the Greek islands and Rome (because I've never been there), Paris because I always love it, back to the place I lived for 8 years and still hold in my heart: the French Jura region, right next to Lake Geneva and the Alps.
Korea, Japan
parts of Africa: January 2010!
Australia, New Zealand (some time after we retire, I think, because they need a lot of time)
more of the Caribbean
French Pacific territories, especially to dive in New Caledonia...

I've always had the travel bug, and I'll never stop dreaming.
