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.

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 :(

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.
