Where would you go on your last trip?
Hi fodorites,
Just wondering where you would choose to go if you knew your next trip would be your last trip. And no, you can't say an around the world vacation. Would you go to an old favorite? Or someplace new and exotic?
To answer my own question: I would absolutely go someplace I've never been before. I love nature and spectacular scenery - my first thought was Alaska. But on second thought, I've heard that Alaska can't compare to the fjords - so maybe I would choose that instead. Then again...

You people are morbid. Just because its your last trip doesn't mean your going to die. You might just be going to the poor house, having children, or getting too old to travel.
I couldn't decide on just one place for my last trip. I would want to go to all the places that are on my list of vacations. Aruba, New York, Paris, London, Egypt, Alaska, Venice, and Greece.

It's my experience that regardless of why, most people don't ever realize that it's their last trip when its happening. My parents are in their 80's and no longer travel at all. They did travel quite a bit in their 50's / 60's. Asked them what their last trip was and they said to bury one of my uncles in Florida. (Are we having fun yet?) So I do think one answer may be to plan every trip as if it were your last and if you really want to see something, see it sooner rather than later.

Good one Charles...And always drink the GOOD wine.
If it is the last as in I'll be DEAD trip...Hmmmm.
No matter where I'd go, it would be in first class. Whether in a plane, train,cruise ship, bicycle, or car it would be top of the line and no bargain shopping. I may even let an evil travel agent plan it!
Oh and make sure there would be enough life insurance $$$ left over to pay for it so I wouldn't dump on the wife.

Kim, if I knew that my next trip would be my last I would not go anywhere! I'd have friends over for dinner more often, I'd tell my spouse & son how much I love them,
I'd play with the cats, I'd go for long walks & stop & chat with the neighbors,
I'd call my parents every day & tell them I love them, I'd worry less & I'd
listen more. I'd try to be a hell of a lot more forgiving. I'd learn to love my life and not always be questioning what it's all about.....
