Where in the world?

[flirty41]

If you could go to anywhere in the world, where would you go? My choice would be Egypt, for all that ancient history.

Alaska, Winter, with a helicopter and pilot at my beck and call - powder heaven!

I'm with you in that part of the world flirty! My son has just been to Masada and is on his way to Egypt - it should me looking at all those wonders - not him! Seriously the Middle East would be number one visiting Petra, Jerash, Jerusalem - all the biblical sites - magic!! And then again the southern states of the USA would be ........

TW - one day they might do tours of the universe but, until then, close your eyes and you can be anywhere you want to be!! Thanks everyone for your answers - anyone else hankering to get to somewhere?

Canadian rockies, for the peace and quiet and great walking.

Back to Tierra del Fuego. Out of this world.

everywhere I have been has its good and bad points. South Africa's Cape Coast is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, but it is too violent. New Zealand's South Island is beautiful and safe, with lots of outdoor sports, but it is very much a 'make your own entertainment' place culturally, and a long distance from anywhere else. Switzerland is also beautiful, well run, great skiing and central to much of Europe, but incredibly rule-bound. Denmark has the most impressive social system and beautiful people I have seen, but the countryside is flat and I like mountaineering. The United States is much bigger than one might expect, with a lot of variety and beauty, but the society seems empty. I have never had a desire to see South America or India (except Kashmir which is having a civil war right now), but my grandmother was born in China, so I would love to go there and check it out. Closer to home, I would like to take my little Fiat on a 3 week trip from Britain back home to Italy, visiting Naples, Rome, Turin, and the Dolomites. However, when the sun shines on the Scottish Highlands, I don't feel the need to go anywhere.

sorry, I take that back. I would like to see Patagonia in South America. Also Siberia's Kamchatka Peninsula. So much world, so little holidays :)

Craig - you've travelled well! Is that with work, or are you just lucky!! And are you yet another Scottish Answerbanker! Can anyone beat Craig??!!

[flirty41]

bobbobley - another Scotsman? Have a great time - we'll miss you on the Answerbank! Ned - any beach sounds good to me! Have we been around the world yet - any more places to mention??!

[icecoldin]

I think it would be good to see you back in Alba, sft42.

looks like a bit of a Scottish thread ;) yes, I live in Glasgow. Travelling has mainly been visiting family, or through work. If I have a holiday, I travel round Scotland and take pictures for my website http://www.loveofscotland.com !
