Title: I want to go to Tokyo....
Post by: Gunz on February 19, 2012, 10:41:08 PM
I want to travel the world so bad. I want to go to Ireland, Japan, Australia, Paris, Barcelona, damn near every where. What are some places you guys have been too or would like to go to?

Been to Los Mochis, Mexico and Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Ayers Rock, Port Douglas). The next trip there I would love to go back to Australia to make it to Perth.. Our next trip outside the country will most likely be Europe. Not sure where/when though. We have some friends in Berlin from there you can take a train and pretty much go anywhere with a few hour train ride. So, Switzerland, France, and Amsterdam.

Zero interest in Asian countries. overpopulation sucks.

First on list would be Australia, then the UK. Would love to get some good Scotch straight from the source. A few places in Europe. Portugal, Spain, Italy..

THose kinds of trips will have to wait til the kids are older though.  :thumbs:

Where to I want to go.....


Bora Bora.....Promiss I made to Nikki that I will keep.

Western Europe....I would like to take Nikki on a 2 week+ trip around Europe...just bounce around to different countries and cities as we like with only an arrival/departure dates and locations defined...the rest would be adhoc and awesome.

New Zealand, gotta go visit that sheep phucker and let him show us around that beautiful country

Alaska cruise...

Med cruise

I need to go to a better part of Africa and be able to see some of the amazing wildlife and scenery.  Last time i was there, all I saw was horror, hate, and mysery.

How much time do you get in each place to have a "vacation" ?

I travel for work, so very little.  But usually I get the evenings to check out whereever I'm at.

I went to Jamaica for 8 days last year. I think a week should be the minimum any where. I'm going to Tahiti for 10 days later this year and think that should be perfect. When I get the chance for Australia, I'm planning on 21-30 days.

that's the way to do it honestly. It's such a long flight over there so giving yourself time to just chill in places is nice. Lemme know when you go, I can hook ya up w/ some places to check out :thumbs:

Greece, Jordan and Israel with a church group.  Saw the Parthenon and Mars hill.  Went to Masada, that was pretty cool, still remnants of a Roman camp out there.  Lots of bullet holes in Jerusalem, I pointed some out and the guide sorta glossed over it. 

A guy from work flew to Europe a while back, forgot where he landed but he got a bus pass for a week and took to the train everywhere.  Spain, France, Italy, etc.  Sounds like a plan to me, I'd love to do that.  I want to go to Italy and Sicily, Austria, Switzerland, maybe Amsterdam, Ireland.  I'd have to go for at least two weeks, three if I throw the UK in there.  I don't want to blast through there, I want to see stuff.
