You've got the funds and the time/ability. So where do you visit first?
The nearest planet with life on it that's not in our solar system :3:
But assuming we're talking places that we can realistically reach (aka on this planet), probably the amazon rainforest.
While I am also interested in seeing places like the pyramids in Egypt, the great reef in Australia and the Grand Canyon, those I could always visit later, easier to get to.
The black hole at the center of the galaxy where I will promptly fly in.
If I'm limited to Earth, then Japan, assuming that the unlimited time and money would let me tour the whole country.
Right now, assuming my boss I happy for me to get the extra time off: Thailand, because it's in season.
This year, assuming my boss is NOT happy for me to get the extra time off: Italy, because I intend to this year anyway.
The place I want to go most, though? Japan. Hoping for 2019. Possibly Florida after that.
I like how you intend to follow up these nations of such rich, vibrant cultural histories with... Florida. What's drawing you there?Quote:

Europe is also a biggy for me. I'd love to hit a lot of countries in a single trip. England, France, and Germany would be some particular high points.
Oh! And New Zealand, just because my wife also has been there, and the way she describes it makes it sound like it's amazing.
Friends, climate, relative proximity meaning we can just do one week instead of two, maybe a bit of Disney World while we're at it. :)Quote:

Neither Sarah nor myself care about Harry Potter so :shobon: for that (we see loads of HP stuff in Edinburgh regardless because of it being HP's origin). But Universal might be cool. Will all depend on funds!

Why do we still let you exists UGhhhhhh
I do wonder how well Florida markets itself to Ukers. Because you're not the only one form over there who's like "florida is a place i want to go!" They must have a wicked good marketing team there.
I mean, it's on the coast closest to us and it has sunlight and beaches, and it has things to do. There are possibly other destinations I'd prefer to go if it weren't for the fact that it also has people there that both Sarah and I would love to meet.
For now, the plan is this year: Australia (done), a UK road trip and some short visits to Italy and Greece. Next year, Japan and Florida and perhaps another weekend or two in Europe. 2020, back to Australia. That's the general idea, but these things will naturally always change over time.
Yeah that's all legit. I think in the states we're all just super jaded on account of Florida Man and the fact that they have the nicest winters in the country.Quote:

Yeah Bora Bora would be one for me too! It just looks so beautiful there!
I'd really like to show Formy Rome some day, so I'd start there.
New Zealand and Australia. Maybe pop down to Antarctica for a few hours provided unlimited funding.
Now I can’t unsee Thailand as a dog sniffing the arses of all the other countries.Quote:

I'd visit the UK because part of my family is from there and I could meet Fatal Impurity.
ALL THE DISNEY PARKS
Maybe the convenience store down the street? After that I may even venture far enough to find some lunch.
First stop Birmingham to pick up my girl. Second stop The Maldives. Third Stop.... who knows, wouldn't matter so long as I had her with me. :)
Japan, I've wanted to go ever since I was a teenager; though England could be pretty fun too as I'd actually speak the language. If I got to take other people with me though I might pick Ireland instead as my mom's wanted to go there ever since she was a little girl, but our family just can't afford it. It'd be nice to give her something to cheer her up from all these medical bills.

First off, I love how many people are saying NZ. Can confirm it is an excellent place and we need the tourism money.
This is a toughie! Probably the French Riviera, since the unlimited budget would mean I could actually afford it. From there I'd probably do a Europe round-trip and then head on to Asia.
I had the choice to emigrate to Canada or NZ and I chose Canada and I made the wrong choice. :|Quote:

MANCHESTER LAA LAA LAA

Fighting the good fight, Bubba. Those filthy Scots going full stolen valour on glorious Manc heritage.
xD I can't say I follow celebrity controversy but I have certainly heard about the Rowling stuff that has happened in recent years. Welp.Quote:

I'll be finally going on my three-week holiday to New Zealand to see my sister in January 2023. Let me know if you're back by then!Quote:

My answer hasn't really changed in the past four years.
Zanarkand of course. This is a FF site. :bigsmile:
Oh man, Christmas, I dunno how to tell you this...
(havent played ffx all the way through but Zanarkand is dead people city right?)
WTF? You got some balls to post on a FF site. Go play with your cucumber or something.
Amalfi Coast, where my wife has always wanted to go.
If we can pick fictional places, I would choose either Rivendell or some sci-fi city that isn't dystopian. Maybe a place from Mass Effect pre-Repears.
