Vietnam looks nice.
novosibirsk russia
Super expensive to travel there and looks like some nice architecture. Just need to hire a team of security specialists.
Ticket prices $36,000 usd round trip from Minnesota. First class.
Italy, Japan, or some place with beautiful mountains.
But money is a thing, so i'm not going anywhere.
another dimension
*cue title card* I Trick The Vacation Genie Into Doing Physics Research With Me
Money and time no object? I would do a tour of the Pacific islands on a 110 Wally sailboat complete with crew so I get to do the fun stuff like helming and none of the boring stuff I don't feel like doing that day. Would hit at a minimum Galapagos, Tahiti, Fiji, New Caledonia and on down to the Sundays in Australia. Would take about 6 months although I could spend a lifetime there.
If I was time limited to two weeks? Sailing in the Bahamas in a Outreamer cat, these are as large as I can safely handle with my partner and its a lot lot shallower than the Wally so I get to explore far more of the Bahamas. Shorter holidays I want less flight time, so direct like this is perfect.
Pitcairn Island
A socialist liberal democracy in the entirety of the United States.
A yacht with a Titan seamoth in either the carribean or Australia to just cruise through some reefs.
Some expensive Carribean Islands like the Bermudas or Aruba.
I probably wouldn't go much further than a couple of hours drive. The mindset of travelling half the world "just cuz we can" has become unpleasant.
The Maldives.
Mount Blue Sky, Colorado. Home of the highest elevation optical astronomical observatory who's operators I share a language with
Road trip across Canada, coast to coast. Just before starting it though I’d fly to the Yukon.
Switzerland.
Probably any other country where I could get a doctor to take a look at my heart condition without having to take out a loan against my house to pay for it.
Alpha Centauri system. I'd keep spending money until we got a working fusion reactor and Alcubierre Drive, open source the designs, and go check that shit out.
I'd just rent a cabin in a nearby mountain.
I don't see the appeal in going far away from vacation.
Honestly I wanna do an expedition to the North Pole and see the sun do weird shit. Then treck to the South Pole so I can see the sun do weird shit but backwards. Like I know that sun is a weird freak when it doesn't think you're looking, that's why it does it at the poles. Then along the way from North to south I'll tell people how weird the sun is, and they'll have to believe me because I've been there, and they'll have to say "damn the sun is weird". Sun's going to be so embarrassed when everyone finds out how weird it is.
That or like go to Cancun or something. Anywhere that I can keep track of the sun that twisted freak you aren't fooling me.
Damn we have similar goals but different reasons. I want to have been on all continents and I am obsessed with going to Antarctica. If I had the money, I would want to stand on the planet's axis. And have the whole world actually revolve around me. Doing this on the North Pole too would be great, but it's not a continent and therefore has second place.
And now, can you elaborate the weird stuff the sun does at the poles? Besides polar night and polar day?
I would go to Freemoneyland and get free money
Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
New Zeeland. But not by plane - by ship! I hate flying, but half around the globe on a small luxury cruise ship or yacht would be nice.
The sun.
Well if money is no object then a world tour that lasts the rest of my life, thanks (or if I can use this magic purse on behalf of others instead, stay home and buy up all the world's debt, sponsor a jubilee year.)
