MoeFOH Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looking ahead, as a week-long post-Covid celebratory trip/party , and imagining travel time wasn't an issue (i.e. you could be magically teleported between destinations or something), what would be your top five travel destinations in that week? (Apologies to those that this seems cruel to even contemplate, which I include myself in . ) My five would be: 1. Machu Picchu - something I've always wanted to see. And have always wanted to visit South America. 2. Cairo - have to see the pyramids. Bucket List stuff. 3. Kinsale, IRE - home to two beloved old pissheads that I would dearly love to catch up with. And a great foodie and pub town. 4. Crete - love the wonderful lifestyle of the Greeks, and would love to further explore this island... even if only very briefly. 5. Havana - have yet to get to Cuba. And for other obvious reasons... Yours?... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 would depend time of year and what was happening - eg, i would include Helsinki if my mate was holding another tasting (he is, but i doubt i'll get there this year). in no order - costa rica for tarpon fishing amazon for arapaima nelson lakes in nz for brown trout any place for GT but say christmas island for both GT and bones. fraser island non-fishing, havana madrid/barcelona burgundy duoro africa (yes, that is very general) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuns Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The cruelty in this contemplation (fantasy) is limiting it to 5 places and further restricting it to only 1 day or so each! Athens - Santorini - Como - Dublin - Havana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latter would put me on all the continents! See the Aurora Borealis. Russia and its former states, more APAC - Thailand, Viet Nam, Myanmar. Borneo, Sumatra, Timor. The rest of central and south America. Several smaller EU and western East European countries we haven't visited. Luxembourg, Latvia, Estonia, Croatia, Slovenia. The Nordics. More Africa. Morocco the only one there so far. The 2-3 states in the US I haven't spent time in as changing planes doesn't count for me. Looking at you Minnesota. List goes on. Hope to get as much in as we can as we plan to spend the next 2-3 years traveling once we're able to. Oops. 5 places, not 5 sentences....oh well. Too hard to pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meklown Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Firstly I will hop to Singapore to see my grandma and cousins, and collect all the bottles of whiskies that I've been shipping to my friend. Then beam me up to - Kyoto for some sushi and Yamazaki distillery to grab a dram of Hibiki 30, which I will put in a sample bottle, and off to - London where my sister and her husband lives. The Hibiki would be his current dream dram, and maybe catch an Arsenal game. Next stop would be - Zermatt for a day of snowboarding (at this point I am certain to miss this entire season), followed by - Phuket or Da Nang to lie by the beach with my buddies as we missed our trip planned for last September 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dageshi Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Yangshuo, China - I've never seen scenery as magical as the Karsts in and around Yangshuo, I've visited twice and would go back in a heartbeat Kanchanaburi, Thailand - Home of the bridge of the river kwai, it's nothing special but there's a guesthouse there I love. It has this wooden platform that extends out over the river (and floating rooms!), I love spending a day or two lounging on the platform drinking Singha and reading. The Himalayas - I desperately want to go do the Annapurna trek, that might well be the first trip I make post covid Chile - I live in one of the most light polluted places in the world, I really want to see the milky way in all its glory and I heard Chile is one of the best places Bangkok - To see friends and that city is just incredible fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hoze Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I love to eat, and used to fly 200+ segments a year. I would go back to basics with an eating tour of places I used to eat frequently but sadly haven’t been to in over a year: -NYC: huge lunch at Sushi Yasuda, nap, and maybe dinner at Cosme. -San Francisco: huge early meal at Swan Oyster Depot, nap, and dinner at SPQR. -London: huge seafood feast at Scott’s in Mayfair, nap, and maybe wild game dinner at Harwood Arms. -Chicago: lunch and dinner at Frontera Grill (nap in between). -San Sebastian area, Spain: blood sausage at La Cuchara de San Telmo, lunch at Extebarri, dinner at Elkano. No time for nap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RijkdeGooier Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Let's make it a theme trip -with fantasies about catching your own food: 1. Sicily - fishing tuna in the strait of Messina and having it served in a good restaurant in Messina - after dinner smoking on the Piazza with a good coffee 2. Scotland, for grouse and deer. Served at the 'manor house' . Dirinks and cigars in the library afterwards, smoking jackets required 3. Domincan Republic North Coast - marlin fishing aboard a white Sunseeker. Great day at sea and dinner on the beach. Bonfire, drinks and cigars afterwards. 4. Belgium Ardennes - wild boar hunting with guns and dogs. After spending a day in the hills field dress the meat.. Dinner, drinks and cigars at the St. Hubertus lodge 5. Alaska - salmon run fishing next to the Kodiak Bears - make dinner myself, campfire and a big cigar under the stars while watching out for the Kodiaks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 6 nights/7 days there in 2013 and I constantly think about going back. The Boundary Waters are a really special place, unlike anywhere else I've been so far.
