If you could only travel one more place in the world, where would you go?

[MarkD]

Now if you travel a lot and still do, you can rephrase that as “.. where would you go next?” But for homebodies like me it really is a question if I were to take on hassle of travel. Exploring new places is great but getting there and being away from home, less appealing to me than for some.
For me Barceona, Spain and Madeira, Portugal would be my choice. If as long as we’re going so far we could squeeze in a short stay elsewhere I’d go back to merry old Briton though my wife would probably argue for Italy or France.

Barcelona is first for me because I’d really like to see work by Gaudi, especially this:

Where in the world would you go?

 

[hollydolly]

Well having a home in Spain, I wouldn't choose there for my last trip.. mine would have to be New Zealand.. or Australia..

La Sagrad Familia in Barcelona is a sight to see, but there's examples all over Spain of Gaudi's work... there's a Big Cave Bar in the next village to ours, and it's completely built in the Gaudi style ..among Orange and lemon groves

I was first in Barcelona in 1963, (when the Guardia Civil still wore those funny hats), it's grown since then....too much. We have a trip planned for this Spring....arrive in Barcelona, leave within a couple hours if possible.

Prior to the plague and the war, we'd 'mapped out' (so to speak) a trip to Ukraine.....that'll never happen. If it wasn't for the "Let's go somewhere new" factor, I might consider revisiting Romania, and we've being toying with the idea of Albania...or Slovenia.....or..or....ad infinitum.

The world's largest salt flat: Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. Bonus! I'd get to see the night sky in the southern hemisphere.

I first discovered Gaudi in the garden of our friends in Kentfield, California when I asked them what had inspired what they had created in their driveway. The house is pretty wild too. She is an artist and one of her paintings can be seen in the last photo from a Christmas party they had hosted. He had been a patent lawyer and vintner hobbyist. He retired from the latter after having, as he told us, consulted the actuarial tables to determine he had made enough.





Every April they would host a Wisteria brunch here.

Wow... fancy ever being in that position..I can only dream...

Enjoy your trip to Barcelona.. personally it's not for me.. it's rampant with pickpockets and thieves, which is really sad.

Apparently Coatia is absolutely beautiful...

 

[jujube]

Definitely Australia and New Zealand.

As well as being a Disney E+++ ticket nightmare. Can’t stand crowds anyhow. If I never go that will be why .. well besides not wanting to be parted from my dogs and garden

 

[Michael Z]

I think Alaska, but in the summer, not the winter!

 

[RadishRose]

Italy.

Oh, we're not staying in Barcelona...arrive/leave

Croatia, Montenegro, etc......nice...(I threw up a couple pics of the Plitvice waterfalls (there in the mid 1980s) on The Horror and Outrage thread)

​

 

[BC Flash]

I am a budget traveller. It was home exchanges - Australia, New Zealand, USA

 

[JustBonee]

I think Alaska, but in the summer, not the winter!

Alaska would be my "one more place" .. then I could say that I've been in all 50 states.

It took years to accomplish getting to 49!

 

[multimodAL]

i'd take a walk in the desert... it's as good as anyplace "to go".

 

[hearlady]

New England where most of my relatives are.

Any particular desert? There are lots of 'em.

 

[Murrmurr]

Tough one, but I'll say Liechtenstein.

Or, idk....maybe Bavaria?
Too cute?

 

[Wayne]

Alaskan cruise here, but do not wish to be cooped up on a cruise ship with so many other people for safety/health reasons. So have not gone.

 

[multimodAL]

spent some time out in the mohave as a kid. i'm sure it's not the same anymore... had an open invitation to black rock for some burns but 10,000 other people is not my idea of fun. maybe look into one of the dry forests of the caribbean (haven't been to any there yet.)

 

[officerripley]

Trinidad, California.

 

[Alligatorob]

Australia, lots of competition for my first choice but as I sit here right now it would be Australia.

I could rent an RV and spend a month or more just exploring. Train also looks interesting.

home exchanges - Australia, New Zealand

Have you done that? It sounds like an interesting idea. Maybe someone in Australia or there abouts would be interested in our Utah home in winter for skiing.

Some close seconds already mentioned here:

Barcelona, Spain and Madeira, Portugal

Been to much of Europe, but never Spain or Portugal, would like to go.

Romania, and we've being toying with the idea of Albania...or Slovenia.....

More close seconds!

Bolivia

I would really enjoy and long trip to South America, and Bolivia would be on my list. I've been to Ecuador, Venezuela, and Argentina, but always on business. Just enough to wet my apatite... A lengthy leisurely pleasure trip would be great!

Croatia, Montenegro

Yep

Most of the other places people cited sound good too, but I am only including places I have never been... I miss traveling.

 

[Disgustedman]

Las Vegas......

 

[Tish]

Isle of Skye

 

[Pinky]

Back to Australia, in fall or winter - and New Zealand .. kicking myself forever for not seeing it when I
could have!
