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


I've been to Monaco but want to return.

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

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.

We were supposed to go to Wengen last June
Along with Milan, Zermatt, Lausanne, Lucerne, and Lake Como -
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.

Australia. Only inhabited continent I haven’t been to.

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.

Geneva.
Specifically the FP Journe "factory."

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.Purple_Pills said:Response to OP:

Germany would be cool, too.

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.DerekJohnson said:

Agree. All the sports are well covered, plus the truck stop. Then, we've got:1to392831weretaken said:

Northern Argentina to find some of these.

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 breezeFishpo31 said:...A drink in my hand, and my toes in the sand..

There have been times where I've wanted to post about certain foods or supplements, and while Yella's seemed like the closest match it still seemed like a square peg in a round hole, so I didn't usually post it at all.DawgsCanDance said:I think travel goes along with @YellowSnow’s other fine spice of life offerings

Canada - to fish places like this in a helicopter. I did it once before but got hosed by the weather. I've been jonesing to go back and take another crack at it.

Spent eight days in Boston and Hyannis in summer 2019. Obviously did Plymouth and drove out to Provincetown, but the interestingest surprise was going to the Whydah Museum on a lark our last day there.LebamDawg said:if any bored could be shut down its the football ones. WE SUCK? oops wrong thread,

I think food is arts and culture and the finer things in life. I’ll allow it.DerekJohnson said:
