Ask Lemmy

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lake Meade, Pennsylvania

it's already booked, though, family reunion.

Your moms house

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

Under Vladimir's bed

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.

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. :(

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.

Iceland

The Moon.

Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.

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.

Vietnam looks nice.

Canada. Somewhere.

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.

Italy, Japan, or some place with beautiful mountains.

But money is a thing, so i'm not going anywhere.

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.

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”

The Sun.

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.

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?

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

No where lol. I like my home area.

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.
