So the other day I was really wanting to be on a vacation. I am talking, anywhere. I could care less. I would go to the beaches here in Texas if I had to. But later that night, after I really thought about it, I came up with a short list of places that I really want to go to someday. Hopefully, I will eventually have this elusive money stuff so that I can go on quite a few great vacations. But until then, I will just post beautiful pictures on my blog…





So those are the places I would go to if I had the money. I don’t yet, but eventually, I will. Where would you visit if you had the money?
1. All the islands in the West Indies.
2. Fiji
3. Alaska
4. New Zealand
5. Indonesia
Your choices are so different to mine. I’ve never been to Europe, so my top two are France and Italy. Also, Hawaii is always a favorite place of mine.
I’m back from Israel 2 weeks ago and I liked this country. But I’m not understand about Moscow -imho is not pleasant city
Nice places! Interesting picks.
Israel: You may be either Christian, Jewish, or interested in one of these religions.
Alaska: Going towards the wilderness and the snow. Search of the wild nature and pristine untouched nature.
French Polynesia: Going to a very much visited place, warm weather, Ocean, French speaking tourists.
Prague and Moscow: Cultural places, with long history, and the other side of Europe. Less touristic, yet full of culture.
A well balanced choice. Have a nice trip!
@Nicole: Interesting picks! It seems like you could knock out 90% of your list on 1 trip!
@Xeldec: Hawaii would also be on my list, but I didn’t want to include a place in the country that I live in.
@ssn: I guess Moscow to me just has this bleak charm and some amazing architecture.
@Emrick: Thanks for the psychoanalysis! You have confirmed my suspicion that I am crazy.
That is the whole idea! Can’t keep traipsing off every now and then can one?
Oh. I love Hawaii. Sometimes the best places are just right there in your own backyard.
yeh, all are great places.
i would add singapore too
Wow, nice pick. Personally, I would love to travel to - Tibet, China, Alaska, Italy and Russia
1. Egypt
2. Barcelona
3. Honk Kong
4. Alaska
5. Rome
I had visited Prague a few years ago. I was a great decision. Try to visit Romania as well. Great views.
Moscow is kinda noisy place.
The choices surprised me!
I certainly would have expected Monaco to be right up there, or at the very least, Menton and Lake Como.
These are all beautiful places to visit and I’m sure you will enjoy some of them one day.
My only comment is having just returned from the
Cook Islands it is an unspoilt paridise much cheaper quieter and in some ways better than French Polynesia
I can see your heart is set on Tahiti or Bora Bora but my alternative is definitely the Cook Islands (an unspoilt paridise if such a thing still exists)
Happy travells Robert
Life is short, better enjoy it!
The Caribbean is awe inspiring one of the most beautiful places, not so much the bigger commericial islands but the smaller out of the way ones; Bermuda, Mustique, Nevis etc.
I like you wish to see Moscow, the culture and history fascinate me, altough I confess to not hearing the best things.
These are great pictures! I have only been to Alaska. I have a cousin who is a fisherman and I spent a month working on his boat. It was a great experience, would not want to do it full time though!
French Polynesia? Interesting choice. What motivated that one?
Since writing my above comment, I have catching up with a number of travelogues and East Europe seems to offer a great deal of hidden and low profile places to visit.
even I would have liked to visit these places
I think its not ‘if we had money’ but more like ‘when we have money!’
Anyway when I can afford it I would like to visit Philadelphia and climb the steps just like Rocky Balboa!
Good post! Dream and your dreams will come true! Oh, if I had money I would go to Moon first, are you with me?:)
>> I guess Moscow to me just has this bleak charm and some amazing architecture.
Yes, in Moscow there interesting buildings - as beatiful and as menacing
French Polynesia looks like that pic came straight out of pirates of the caribeen. that totally just became one of my top spots now. thanks
Please be careful in Moscow:)
i’m with you on prague. it used to be quite the central location and seat of power a long time ago. so there is grandeur in that place.
