All expenses paid for. If you could spend the summer anywhere in the world, where would you go? Me--Ireland. And you?

[debm55]

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Back to Paris.

[debm55]

4. Thank you very much, for sharing, sinkingfeeling.

[anciano]

2. England

[debm55]

5. Ah, beautiful place for the summer. Thank you anciano.

[Haggard Celine]

3. I'd like to go to Scotland.

They have a lot of cool weather, which I love. And I've liked every Scottish person I've met so far, even if I have some difficulty understanding what they're saying.

[debm55]

6. HAHHAHHAHh. thank you very much, Haggard Celine. Scotland was my second choice.

[DURHAM D]

31. I vote for Scotland also.

Will spend a lot of time on the Isle of Skye. Also, other places in the Outer Hebrides.

[sop]

7. The town of Cairns, in Queensland, Australia, to fish for giant black marlin along the Great Barrier Reef.

"All expenses paid" would cover chartering a boat, right?

[multigraincracker]

8. Had a great time the week I spent in Dublin.

I’d make it Ireland.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

9. Scotland

… and if I ever get there, I’m not coming back.

Still pissed that my GGF left Scotland for the US by way of Canada—which would be my second choice, if only my kids would agree to learn to love winter… His 11 brothers also left Alba and wound up in Oz, which probably would’ve been better than we got stuck with. (Wish I knew the story behind the weird split in the family; probably a good story.)

[Srkdqltr]

10. Northern Italy.

[lpbk2713]

11. Southern Spain.

I've been there before. I'd like to go back.

[MIButterfly]

12. That's a tough one for me

I would love to go back to Paris but I also want to go to Amsterdam. I want to see Anne Frank's house. Maybe I could take the all expenses summer in Paris and then take a side trip to Amsterdam on my own dime. Why not? Then I could do another side trip to Belgium. I think l may be onto something here!

[Emile]

13. Any number of remote fly in fishing camps in Northern Canada.

[pansypoo53219]

14. denmark, europe, or n wisconsin. for the bread, bread, forest.

[Endlessmike56]

15. Norway

[LoisB]

16. Jamaica.

[love_katz]

17. Vancouver Island, B.C., Canada

I would love to move there.

[LogDog75]

18. Great Britain or Germany

I was stationed twice in England and twice in Germany and I'd love to spend a couple of months in either one just exploring and taking in their cultures.

I'd like to travel the countryside in England, Scotland, and Wales and visit the small towns and learn some of their histories. I've been to many of the tourist spots in England and toured Edinburgh so visiting the non-tourist areas would be great.

Same goes for Germany but I'd include some of its cities like Heidelberg, Munich, and Cologne. I'd take boat rides down the Rhine and Mosel Rivers and visit the the smaller castles and cities. One thing Germany has over England is the food is much better, especially their pastries.

[Morbius]

19. Italy.

I look forward to the food, especially in Rome.

[eppur_se_muova]

20. Any place where they've never, ever heard of Trmp.

And I'm not excluding backwoods Papua New Guinea.

[Phoenix61]

21. Japan. It's next on the list. I want to see the gardens. nt

[Aristus]

22. Switzerland.

I have two monitors for my work computer. One is for working, the other I use to play soothing piano music videos with images of Switzerland on a twelve hour loop. Long enough for a long workday.

I need a getaway in a place like Switzerland for a while. Mainly to lose my desire to throttle whoever it was who told Trump to keep the country on all-chaos, all-the-time mode; it’s exhausting.

[Lilgirl44]

23. Me,

I would travel, to the north pole,simply to, experience, history, and cold, on a physical basis,,no nothing more

I, live with, AC, and heat
I often wonder, how did people survive, there? Without Our phones, our websites, our comforts?
I would like to experience, extremes, without comfort. B
But then again,
I'm just a Democrat

[Tikki]

24. Deb...more than anything like that..I would love to go to..

Australia to see a live (AFL) Australian Rules Football Game. This would mean I
would need to go to one of the larger cities where the stadiums are located.
I would chose Perth AU that sits on the beautiful Western AU Coast right there
along the Indian Ocean.
While in the Perth area I would hope to see some of the AU bands whose
music I have discovered.
I would love to cruise through the Coastal towns like Cervantes and Jurien Bay, etc,
and hopefully make the trip to the Shire of Tooyay.

25. Me too debm55!!!!! 🥰 ☘️ 🍀 🥰 ☘️ 🍀 🥰 ☘️ 🍀

[enid602]

26. Visit

Chongqing, China or La Paz, Bolivia. The most vertical cities on Earth. Fabulous views.

[brachism]

27. #1: New Zealand, #2 China/Taiwan, #3 Japan, #4 Egypt, #5 South Korea, #6 Australia, ...

As for my top choice, it comes down to nature and the Lord of the Rings movies. Israel used to rank #2 for me, but given current events, it’s no longer even in my top 15.

[gopiscrap]

28. My hometown Frankfurt am Main Germany

[bottomofthehill]

29. I'm with you, Ireland. A month in the north and a month in the South

Although pretty much most time spent in the Republic

First month ish North, around Malin Head, as far north as you can go. The Inishowen peninsula. Maybe some time in Moville Greencastle. Then a few days in Derry, walking the wall, checking out the murals thinking of John Hume and Phil Coulters the town I loved so well.
Then all the way to the opposite end, around Cork city for some golf, history and fishing. The town of Cobh has an amazing history. It is where many emigrated from. Some to America, some to a Australia, wherever the crown was sending them. Cobh is the home of the Irish Alcatraz, the last stop of the Titanic and the Lusitania. Taking a boat out of Cobh may not be a great idea but it is beautiful.

[jgo]

30. Norway also.

Ireland sounds good also. Brazil would be the next choice. In the United States, would pick Bar Harbor and surrounding areas in Maine, for a laid back summer.

[LastDemocratInSC]

32. Rappahannock County Virginia.

It has the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen.

[Bristlecone]

33. I'm with you. Ireland.

Maybe the UK generally.
