If you could drop everything and travel anywhere tomorrow, where would you go?

  Cuba... the clubs for music, the cars, the beach, the food and old school culture...

  Down vote for wanting to vacation on an active slave plantation. Anyone who spends their money there is helping keep Cuban slavery alive. Don’t visit until slavery and communism (but I repeat myself) is abolished there.

  Great thread for the future Food & Travel Forum!
  
  
  If things were China Virus normal, and I was offered and expense paid vacation, I’d like to visit the Swiss Alps or Tasmania. Swiss Alps in summer is one thing that has been on my list for a long time. That one Rick (UW alum) Steves episode where he visited the area above Interlaaken is what I want to see.

  Is there an option to stay home and send my wife and kids and dog somewhere?
  
  Monaco was pretty cool, but it mostly just made me feel really, really poor. I remember walking through the mall across from the casino, and there was this women's clothing shop that had a dress in the window. 50% off! My bride for a week at that point says, "At that steep of a discount, maybe I can actually afford to take some clothes home from Monaco!"
  
  This dress was basically three square feet of fabric and a couple dozen stitches. The massive sale price was $2800. She did NOT bring home clothes from Monaco...
  
  Favorite places I've ever been are Laguna-Seca (but only because of a now-extinct event), San Diego, and Lucca, Italy. I'd go back to Lucca in a heartbeat.
  
  I once read an article about an Edelweiss bike tour through Norway on rented BMW GS1200s. I believe the article was titled "Fjord Fiesta" and was in Motorcyclist Magazine. I looked at those pictures, and I thought, "How could a place like this exist?" I've wanted to check that out ever since.

  Big Island, Hawaii. I've never had a big desire to do any international travel. I have no fear of flying but I hate the entire experience.

  For a few weeks I've been thinking about a food forum or health and wellness forum, but I wasn't sure if it was enough to hold its own in this environment. But adding travel might be the ticket.

  At some point, you spread yourself too thin. I think we have about the right amount of subforums at this point. Each one has a fairly unique mission, and there's not a lot of overlap. Start breaking it down into finer and finer demographics, and discussion will suffer due to less and less window shopping.

  Agree. All the sports are well covered, plus the truck stop. Then, we've got:
  
  Movies/Music/Cigars/Literature/Watches/Finer things + Polls - Yella
  Economics/Finance/Real Estate - Creepy
  Chinsider Info/Guns/Tits - Wigwam
  History/Military/Industry - History Channel presented by Stalin
  Politics/Pandemics/Thunderdome - Tug Presented by RaceBannon
  
  We even have a Book Club and AnneLanders. We don't need anything else.

  where to? Travel a summer or two in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Upstate New York staying away from all populated areas, then thru southern Canada crossing into Upper Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota (family roots are in those three)
  
  New England is the only area I haven't been

  Yah! And I like those scenic lagoon thatched roof pool bars where you sit on the underwater bar stool and sip a cool cocktail, have a conch taco and feel the breeze
