OT: Where have you been in the world and where would you like to go?

[Blue Red and Gold]

Me and never will. Why go to another country to see so many Aussies.
I can see them here.

There is that aspect, but the people there, the locals are great, there is a bit of culture to see.

Not sure if I will ever go back in the present climate, but if the terrorists hadnt done what they had done, I would of been back.

Sitting on a jimbaren beach eating as much seafood as you can while the sun goes down, it doesnt get much better than that.

I'm rather limited in where I have been.

Just... Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane.

I have 1 months annual leave in January, I am trying to work out where to go.. Am thinking of London/Singapore ... or either Las Vegas/Los Angeles.[/QUOTE]

You shoud think twice about that decision.

The first one should be to do London/Singapore , and after thinking again do exactly the same thing.

London is sensational for a tourist - I loved its history amongst many other things.

Yeah, but there's heaps of all you can eat buffets in Vegas.

You mean there is somewhere better than Largs North?

 

[Markthirtytwo]

Really want to go to Canada and ski there.
Do the Rockys' rail thing and see the US.

Need to the the Route 66 bit as well before I shuffle off.

Do the Las Vegas/Los Angeles bit - I went last August and seriously, Ive not stopped thinking about it.

Plenty to do and despite my views on the septics (septic tanks, we used to call them in the Navy) euphemism for Yanks..... the people were unbelieveably friendly, helpful courteous and bloody good too.

 

[fentanyl]

i would like to go to afganistan, get caught fraternising with a group trying to kill westerners, get incarcerated for a few years, have aussie tax payers fund my parents visit me, come back to oz, and earn hundreds of thousands if not millions selling my story.

on a more serious note, sth america and antarctica would do me just fine.
