No where lol. I like my home area.

I would go visit every single temple and tea house in Japan. As well as try every single unique flavor of KitKat in the country.

Probably Polynesia.

There are places where you can go and slum it and still have a great time, just visiting free attractions and going everywhere on foot and by pubic transit.
But then there are places where the luxury itself is the attraction, so cheaping out doesn't really make sense.

I can afford to get to Japan and then just stay in cheap hotels and explore local attractions in Kyoto and Tokyo.
I can afford to get to Bora Bora or Tahiti, but I can't afford the luxury stay, which would be the point of the trip.

Somewhere tropical, that won't mind if we smoke some weed on the beach. Jamaica comes to mind, but I'd research options because I'd like to see the other side of the Atlantic.

There was a knitting cruise I looked at before. Took you around Europe and had events to spin your own yarn and there would be workshops with masters. I think I would do that.

This sounds amazing!

I'd like to go back to Fuzhou, but geopolitical tensions are making international travel less viable by the day.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The Moon.

Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I handle this, as do most poor people, by not asking ourselves this question, not even fantasizing about it, for why torture yourself with something you never can do?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The fuckin moon, and it's not even close. Get me off this rock

An all-inclusive resort, located somewhere warm with a beach.

Looking at the Bahamas sometime this year, but my wife needs to secure the time off first. :(

If money was no object: Las Vegas!

I'd play all the games for free and win all the money. I'd become a millionaire in a week. :)

Lake Meade, Pennsylvania

it's already booked, though, family reunion.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Somewhere remote that already has a well-established bartering system. Most of the usual tourist places would be a disaster if there was no such thing as money.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Sailboat, Caribbean, and all the food and sunsets in between as long as I can make it last. Maybe I'll end it by heading straight at a hurricane, or maybe I'll just try my luck at getting to Europe. It would be amazing to get to Gibraltar under sail from the Caribbean.

If money is NO object then I’d buy the US government and make the US visitor friendly. I mean I’d really like to see the pained desert, New Orleans, New York, New England in the fall, hell there’s heaps of the US I’d like to visit and it seams to me that you can buy the US government for a couple of hundred billions.

I'd book a trip on a tall ship. I found one a while back called the Bark Europa. It's one of the few ships that goes to Tristan da Cunha, the most remote civilization in the world.

Its already expensive ($10,000+) and even more expensive if you want to go to the arctic. Unfortunately, I have celiacs, so the only way I'd be able to do it, is if I paid a stupid amount of money.

Canada. Somewhere.

Definitely take a boat ride to visit Taiwan at least once before any shit potentially goes down in Asia and war breaks out.

Hell, if it broke out while I was over there, it'd make things easier for me in a way, since I'd be more than willing to help Taiwan in the event of a war by doing whatever the hell they need me to as a civilian who couldn't join the army due to my health. Wouldn't have to be working on helping them from far away, but rather on ground.

I'd like to see Japan deeply. I'd go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It'd be cool to walk about Mars for an afternoon. Maybe find that rover (Opportunity?) that ran out of power & give it a fresh battery & clean off its solar panels, see if it'll fire back up again.

Royal Caribbean cruise on an Icon, Quantum, or Oasis class ship (to the Caribbean, of course).

I don't care how much Lemmy hates cruise ships, nothing beats waking up to a different view out of your balcony every morning. Not to mention the unlimited gourmet food. You could eat a dozen lobster tails in a single sitting if you wanted to.

Iceland. My kid took a geology class and was excited about Iceland. This is actually college: he never got his passport so I said, “sure I’ll take you if you apply for your passport”
