If money, time and security didn't enter the equation, where in the world would you most like to go? Which far-flung places do you DREAM of travelling?

And where would you fly THIS SUMMER?

I would most like to go to the Galapagos Islands for a month at least!
Because of money shortage, I pick travelling around the Greek Islands and a couple of countries in Europe this year though!

So many places I'd love to go...Australia, Africa, Italy. If I had to pick one this summer, I'd choose Italy.

I want to go to Bhutan sometime in my life.

I can't say where I would go this summer, considering I am already going to Egypt and Jordan, woowoo.

That's crazy, Martin!

I think that South America and Mexico is high on my priority list at the moment.

I'm not going too far this summer, maybe Connecticut is the furthest I'm venturing, but in September I'm off to Iqaluit!

As I said the last time a thread like this came up my dream destination is India. As far as this summer goes I'm unfortunately going to be working pretty much the whole time so I'll be sticking around Korea. The exception being a 4 day weekend in the beginning of August when I plan on heading for Hong Kong and Macau.

Mostly around Vancouver and Kelowna to spend time with the folks, my brother and sister. But I also have to get to Winnipeg. No other plans at the moment ..... A visit over to Ottawa would be nice but I don't know if I can fit that into my schedule.

Well if money wasn't an option I think I would pick the most expensive place purely because I could - Galapagos Islands sounds like a good shout from that point of view.

Otherwise it is New Zealand or Indo... *daydreams*

Hmmm...maybe PM me...not in the first week anyway - me and my boyfriend live in different countries - so I'm kinda looking forward to chilling and spending time with him that first week, rather than seeking out other bloggers - unless of course they happen to be in the same place at the same time wink.gif

For me it has to be Lefkada (Lefkas) in Greece. There are still loads of countries I have not visits and have on my list for for a week long holiday... a get away from it break then it has to be Kefkada and a fabulous villa I know which has the most amazing 15m x 15m pool with 3 infinity edges where you just stare out to the Ionian Sea... it does it for me every time!
