If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

Between financial limitations and my fear of flying, I'll probably never travel outside of the 48 contiguous United States. Watching travel shows, The History Channel, and foreign detective shows only intensifies my curiosity.

If I ever hit the lottery, I would risk flying to see those sites that speak to my pagan heart.

I'd visit Greece to see the ruins of ancient temples. I would visit Rome, to see the Colosseum and sites associated with infamous political events.
I would visit England to see The Tower of London.

Near the end of the trip, I would start planning a trek through China, where I would visit The Forbidden City

My list is much longer but we don't have all day!

If finances were no object, what places would you like to touch and see?
 
Probably not going to happen; but having been to 49 of the 50 states, I would like to complete that 'project' and go to Alaska.
Going to Hawaii is worth getting over that fear of flying. I had it, but totally got over it somehow - mind over matter.:)

After that, I agree with Greece and Rome as very high on the radar ... very sexy, interesting places to see and discover.

Where is "home", That Guy??

although I'm afraid to fly also, I would love to visit the rain forests of Brazil, see Germany, Italy, Switzerland, just about anywhere safe. I wish I'd have done more traveling when I was healthier.

As Thomas Wolfe said, "You Can't Go Home Again".

Buddha knows I tried, many times - but Home was gone. In its place was an unrecognizable building with strange people inhabiting it. I finally stopped looking.

As for where I would like to go? If I had unlimited funding? Key West. I could live, be happy and die there.

... I think. :confused:
 
I would first go to Birmingham, England where my ancestors came from to look up more family history.

There are somany places in the world I'd like to visit, I don't know where I'd go next.
 
Back in time...I'd like a "do over" of some things and would like to visit different eras. I would also like to know then what I know now as I was travelling...

.But speaking of travelling in real time..I would like to visit more places in this country by road. I have always enjoyed visits to Canada. It's so beautiful and would like to see more of it. Too bad Mexico is such a drug war zone now, there are some wonderful places there as well, but I wouldn't step foot over the border anymore.

I have and never have had any burning desire to travel abroad.

Tomorrow, I am going to DFW and I think this will be my last plane trip. (Unless I win a huge lottery and buy my own plane) I have never enjoyed flying and now I thoroughly detest it.

Back in time. Now there's a great thought. Of course, you know, due to that time/space continuum we cannot change the past in order to affect the now. But, the again, we have yet to try . . .

So, I would love to go back in time with a quiver of modern boards and enjoy some very uncrowded and empty waves. Yeah Now!

Heck, just go back in time far enough to buy stock in Microsoft on its issue day - you can BUY any beach you want!

Theoretically at least I think time-travel is possible, In fact I recall seeing something published in the last few months concerning the subject - they said it was more feasible to go forward in time rather than backward, for some technical reason that escapes me at the moment.

And of course there's always the time dilation thing, like when the astronauts bring a clock into space and it appears to "slow down" ... what's the theory? As you approach the speed of light, time slows? You can tell it's been a while since my college physics classes ...
 
Don't wanna be buyin' no beach and denying access. Just want to be surfin' with the dinosaurs.

So, still thinking we cannot go back in time and try to change things as any small difference would have catastrophic results . . . Howzabout a parallel universe? Let's go to one of those and live the life we choose...

I've heard tell that Velociraptor was a kick-azz toe-rider! ;)

That's one of those "If you go back in time and kill your grandfather would you still exist?" kind of questions. I prefer the far simpler act of counting angels on pins.

But seriously - time is as much a mystery to us as anything else. Who is to say that if we did indeed travel back in time that any actions we took would be reflected in the present? Like your parallel universe, perhaps time isn't a linear construct - that we could still exist despite eliminating our own genealogical history? Perhaps we could live outside of it ...

I think Heaven would be boring.

But Hell - now THAT'S a fun place! And hot enough to keep my pepperoni pizza eternally warm!

... or, I guess I could just move to Florida ...

How about Limbo, Phil?? Growing up catholic, we heard about Limbo....a place where you were suspended...I guess... Kind of a ' nothingness' (ok, that's not a word). Anyway, maybe the same as purgatory?? Sounds boring, too.
