Well, let's see----ME!! <BR> <BR> <BR>I've never been to me!

My fictional place would be a spacious, clean hotel room in London for a reasonable price.

But R, <BR>I bet you've sipped champagne on a yacht and have seen some things that a woman isn't suppose to see. You've been to paradise .....

Tolkien's Rivendell, in Dr. Who's Tardis anywhere, on Voyager to Delta Quadrant, Atticus Finch's home in To Kill A Mockingbird (provided a young G. Peck is AF), Camelot.

Green Mansions.

I would like to observe the exotic romance that takes place in the South American rainforest between Abel and Rima, the birdlike creature. But I'm sure the mosquitoes would bother me so never mind.

C. S. Lewis's Narnia chronicles were my favorite books of all time when I was little so I would have to say Narnia. On my way to Narnia, I would have to have a layover at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory!!

Aputtusiddu

I'd like to go down to the wonderland of Alice.

The land that sprung from the hand of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Macondo.

BC

Shangri-La, Brigadoon, or Middle Earth (as long as I arrived at the height of the average hobbit)-- to start.
((c))

Hanging Gardens of Babylon

What a great find. I think this one predates my arrival on Fodor's.

I'd be torn, I think, between Devon with the Famous Five, Vikram Seth's India or Anita Shreve's New England

And to go back to Rex's question Sidh is fairy in Gaelic. Banshee is white fairy.

Swedish children's author Astrid Lindgren set a novel on a small island in the Baltic Sea called Saltkrokan.

Fantastic place that I have been longing to go to ever since (if it only existed...)

From &quot;Enchanted April&quot;, the villa of San Salvatore!

I'll have to continue the 'voyage' as I'd have to travel...


Definitely end up in Pern riding a dragon -- that's been a fantasy of mine since I discovered the books 22 years ago!!!

Narnia is a positive (post white-witch and pre-Last Battle).

I'd love to visit Tir-na-n'og, but remember -- the sidhe (it is spelled that way and pronounced shee in gaelic) were not always nice. Think Puck on a BAD day. Bean Sidhe (pronounced Banshee) actually translates into Fairy Woman -- and traditionally her haunting wail heralded a death in the family.

Where else? Oz of course... and Scotland of Jamie Fraser in Outlander :)

Uh... running out of miles here. Time for a quick jaunt to Middle Earth? Or Hogwarts?

If I could choose just one, though, it would be Anne McCaffrey's Pern, planet of Dragonriders, no religion, and instant transportation :D

After driving around Salzburg for what seemed like forever just before Christmas I would have voted for the fictional Altstadt.

Molvania, of course!!

How about the planet Raiza? Any Star Trek Next Generation fans out there?

Lake Wobegon

Terry Pratchett's Discworld - not always safe but always hilarious. A flat world riding on the back of four enormous elephants who stand on the back of a huge star turtle!
It's a land of magic but curiously full of resonances with our roundworld.

It would be a tie- Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory or the village where the hobbits live in Lord of the Rings.

Avalon

I second the magical Macondo in Hundred Years of Solitude. I want to be there for the whole 100 years. So many colorful family members to meet.

Rosemary, I will gladly join you in the Discworld but only if I can hang out with the witches...or maybe join the coppers...or ride with DEATH :)

Middle Earth's Rivendell would be appealing too. I would also like to go to Pern but I am afraid of heights and riding the dragons might be a little scary :(

Highbury. Emma, Mr. Knightly, etc.

The town of &quot;ChewAndSwallow&quot; from my favorite book of all time &quot;Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs&quot;...all your meals fall from the sky !

Tuscanlifedit for me it is Pemberly(Chatsworth), Mr Darcy and the Bennett sisters, :-).

fly with voyager beyond the stars and live for a while at ALDERAN
Check out those star trek and star wars fans !!!

Hey..ilovetulips
Is Willy Wonkas chocolate factory not real ????

Wow I'm gutted

Muck

Bali Ha'i (Rogers &amp; Hammerstein)

Emerald City (Baum)

Marsport (Heinlein)

Jasper Fforde's Swindon: where people can enter the world of literature and alter the plots. Start with The Eyre Affair.

<b>Altair IV</b> Especially if that yummy Anne Francis is there (although I heard the place went downhill fast after the &quot;Bellerephon rescue mission&quot; arrived.)

I have already booked my trip to go In Search of the Holy Grail.

Although, as Dennis (the peasant) said so eloquently, &quot;...strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government,&quot; I think I could have a very good time.

I will skip meeting people who bring out their dead, the Bridge of Death, knights who say &quot;nih&quot; and those cute, Killer Rabbits. Too touristy.

However, I hear a must-see is the Castle Anthrax with it's very interesting mix of hot Virgins. I believe this should make a terrific base to see the area. The proprietor, Zoot, said I could stay as long as I want, and I could have my choice of beds. She told me she is also a nurse and admitted she could perform various types of operations if I should ask.

Hopefully, on my daytrips I will not run into a Frenchmen who farts in my general direction because he might think my mother was a hamster and my father smelt of elderberies.
((H))

maitaitom:

I have a couple of words for you:

&quot;Run away! Run away!!!!!&quot;

Another vote for Pemeberley! I adore Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth, Jane, Mr. Bingley, and crew (A&amp;E style, of course)!

Another vote for Pemberley! I adore Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth, Jane, Mr. Bingley, and crew (A&amp;E style, of course)!

Shangri-La from The lost horizon.

Quark's Bar, with unlimited access to the Holosuite.

Macondo definitely bookchick!

Can't believe PM actually wants to go to Molvania! Don't bother to pack your toothbrush &amp; you'll fit right in!
