Where would you like to vacation/explore?

Where would you like to go that you have never been? I'd like to see the Southern countries of South America. Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile.

St. Helena.  Provided planes still cannot land there.  THAT trip would take a fair amount of determination getting there the 'old fashioned' way...

That's an exotic location.

One of the most remote locations in the World.  They built an airstrip, but it was put out of service due to wind shear and poor design.  I don't know if it's running again.



If not, St. Helena is truly one difficult place to visit!

You should get your travel feet wet first. A week in Cuba or the Dominican Republic for example.

I've traveled in the past...  Mexican cruise, been to Germany once.  Couple trips to Vegas.



Need to find a significant other to give me motivation to see more places.

IHJ is right, they are good places for single male travellers. I have a girlfriend, but when I was single it didn't stop me from doing what I wanted to do.

Quote from: "Zetsu"Usually I fly back to HK just to visit my family, though I haven't went on a real vacation for years.

Where would you like to vacation?


Tbh I haven't thought much about it, but if I get to choose I'd like to travel to Africa, Tokyo/Kyoto Japan again, Taiwan, Thailand and maybe even Antarctica.

Which countries in Africa would like to see Zetsu?


Hmm probably the rural side with lots of wildlife, maybe Nigeria or visit Somalia, where one of my friends lives at, lol.

There is nothing there.  Nothing.  Nothing but cold...  People don't belong there, except for research purposes!


But there's these super fat penguins, and there's like thousands of them.  ac_cool

That's an impressive list. Only continents left out are South America and Antarctica.

The chances of going to those are slim to none.



Next holiday is back to Scotland...by then I'm touching 70.

Scotland has some beuatifully rugged coastlines, but I don't know if that would be the place I'd want to see more than once.

We're going to Shetland next. The furthermost northern point of the UK.



There is much to see and do in Scotland...and the UK, to be honest.



However, the drawcard for us, as the years close in, is that we are in our homeland and feel comfortable there. Naturally we have family as well.



I've loved visiting other nations, but in the modern world, international travel is becoming more and more an activity for the young. Airports are onerous and stressful. Every aircraft is full. Tourists are seen either as wallets on legs or terrorists.



It's nice to just get off the plane, and be in familiar yet exciting surroundings.

I can understand that.
