If I could go to one place for a dream vacation. I would like to sail the islands of the Mediterranean, just like Odysseus did in the Odyssey. I would try to see the islands Homer described for myself, and find my own adventurous story to tell. If you could go anywhere and do one of your dreams, what would it be?

My dream vacation: stay home with a hot cup of coffee at my bad, and sleep late :).
Now really - there is no place like home, so if I could choose I would have asked to stay home with my family, yet with no computers / TV /important things to do. So we could all just sit back and talk about whatever we want, and whatever happening in our lives. Then we can play social games & spoil each other.

Well I guess a world our would be considered one trip. Sounds like it would take a long time though.

Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales. Mostly Scotland, though. We were supposed to go to Scotland for a year but got sent to Singapore instead when my husband was working on offshore drilling rigs. I'd love to just see it and feel it. I have this idea that it's always just cool and misty every morning. I know the scenery is beautiful. Probably not always that way, but it is in my dreams.

I would want to go to Summeria now known to be Iraq and search for my roots. I'm very much interested in seeing for myself the writings written in stone of an ancient civilization thought to be our origins. My 2nd priority would be Thailand and see for myself the culture that brought about one of the deadliest art of fighting. And yeah I'd get to see first hand the culture who holds elephants as sacred. lol.

Discovering your roots sounds like an awesome vacation. Which fighting form are you referring to?

One of my dream vacation is where my sister is in Canada specifically in Vancouver.. I miss her so much its long time ago I saw her. Then we will go together in Burchard Garden where there are lots of flower with different sizes and fragrances. A garden of earthly delights in every season. Hoping that soon this will really happen..

I've never heard of this garden. How long has it been since you've seen your sister?

I would love to travel all over the world. I've been to many places but so many more to go. I'd also love to travel into space but I don't think that would really happen in my lifetime :(
I'd love to just photograph wildlife all over, if only I had unlimited amounts of money to use! Come on MyLot, I must make $1000000 from you! :D

LOL. you better save every penny, you have a long way to go, but I hear space travel for tourists will be likely in 1 years. Why don't you try out for the Mars 1 project?

Look it up on YouTube, its a project by a Dutch company that wants to set up a permanent colony on Mars.

My dream vacation would be island hopping in the Indian Ocean. On that I would visit Madagascar, Mauritius and the Comoros. I would be able to see the lemurs in Madagascar and so some snorkeling in the coral reef.
I equally wish to go cruise around the Galapagos Islands seeing all the fantastic wildlife. If I did that I could perhaps combine it with doing the Inca trail in Peru. It would be a walk at high altitude and it would be amazing to see the ruins in the mountains.

Seeing all those animals would be awesome. I would love to see some animals I've never seen before.

Dear friend,
I too wished to see those places...but right now practically I could visit some of places in India where I leave.I am planning a small trip to those high ranges in Idukki district in Kerala in India and Kanayakumari, few temples in India next month or may be on December. Have a happy and pleasant journey....

There are several places I'd like to see. I have "liked" a few pages on facebook which show pictures of beautiful places around the world. Some are here in the USA, while others are in sinapore, japan, china and Indonesia. Either way, I would love to go and scale them, climb them and just enjoy my time.
One place in particular I've seen is the maldives, that seems like the place to retire.

I think that the best thing that I could do at the moment is to go on a shopping trip to New York City. I would like to go there for a week and then be able to shop and ship everything home so that it would be waiting for me when I got back home again. I could do with a new wardrobe as not many of the things that are in there fit me anymore so I would love to be able to buy a lot of new clothes from a nice shop. I have been there once and I loved it so much that I thought I would like to go again, but I haven't had the time or the money to go since then, so it just a dream for me at the moment.

Oh Boy! You're looking to do some serious damage on those credit cards. New York is so expensive, why not a trip to Philadelphia?

For me if I will have that chance, I prefer to go to Israel first and visit the birth place of Jesus and the places He and his disciples have walked.The place where He held their Last Supper before He was arrested. It's really a lifelong dream of mine to see these memorable places. And if possible on my way back, a side trip to Paris would be a good choice too.

The historical and religious significance of such a trip would be awesome.

Europe has a lot of awesome places to visit. The Colloseum, The Eifel Tower, The Leaning Tower of Pisa and Big Ben. Plus with so many countries close together, it would be so multi cultural.

First of all, if given the chance, I would take a month or two off from my day job and spend some time with my wife. I would go to all of the tourist spots in my country - Philippines. I never have the chance to see them all. I would take maybe 2 weeks of my vacation to complete my tour here. I need to visit several islands here full of breathtaking sceneries and savor those must-try delicious, tasty delicacies.
After visiting my own place, I would spend the rest of my time outside the country. I must say, I wish I could go to Paris - my wife is also looking forward to that. A romantic place on earth, I think.
If I have the time - what a very memorable vacation would have been if I have the time to visit some of my relatives in the US - they are everywhere in AR,OH,CA and Hawaii. Canada would be a side trip.
That's my Dream Vacation Philly

That sounds like it would take more than a couple of months, but it sounds like fun. How did your family get so spread out?

I always dream to have a short vacation in Japan to witness the beauty of cherry blossoms and see the Mt.Fuji while eating apples and persimon with my husband. I also want to go Niagra falls and take some picture there. I want to go to USA to meet some of my in laws and eat hotdog on the their famous hotdog stand. Lastly I want to go to Paris and walk around in the most romantic place in the world while holding my husband hands while walking.

I would like to see Japan so I can see the latest in Japanese technology. Mt. Fuji sounds like it would be awesome too.

The nice thing about dreams is that they don't have to match reality. While the Mediterranean has a good variety of islands, the truth is that many of the Greek islands look exactly the same. Sailing around here can get rather tedious. Not that you shouldn't do it - it can be very pleasureable indeed!
However for me, the vast expanse of Siberia would be my dream. So much to see and some perhaps never been seen before!

I researched it online and I know they can only speculate which islands were the real ones in the Odyssey, but I would love to try all the same. Tell me about Greece.
