If you could go anywhere tomorrow?
 

If you could go anywhere in the world tomorrow morning (it's 9:00 pm EST and I am still working at my supposedly 9-5 job) where would you go? I am dreaming of Switzerland...................

Switzerland is one of my favorite places in the world...the Bernese Oberland, Swiss Alps are tops in Europe for me. Lake Como folds right into the same theme. <BR>Elsewhere, Hayman Island near the Great Barrier Reef is an unbelievable getaway. <BR>One for mountain beauty, the other a beach/diving secluded haven.

Great question-if in the mood for some history and culture, then Russia-it's as if you're walking thru a history book. If the mood struck for sipping a rum drink on a beautiful island beach, then it's Bermuda or Barbados ... what time does that plane leave???

Venice. I have this memory of standing on the Ponte de Rialto looking down the Grand Canal on an unbelievably clear day which made the Canal look a surreal aqua color and the Ochre and pastel colored palaces at the edge, just beautiful. What an incredible place. My husband and I would walk over to Harry's Bar and have a Bellini (or 2) before dinner . . . . My second choice would be Capri, sitting at a cafe on the square. (sigh). I quess I'm in the mood for Italian tonight.

Paris! or Sydney!

Ireland and New Zealand. <BR>A.M.

Right this moment it's about 50 degrees here in Seattle, so anywhere where it's about 70 or above and I don't have to wear a sweatshirt and sweatpants! :) <BR> <BR>I would probably choose the Great Barrier Reef for tomorrow or New Zealand. I'd definitely choose Paris if you were posting this question at the end of the summer season! Quite frankly, even going to Vancouver sounds enticing right now - who cares where I'm going as long as I get to go somewhere?! :)

Definitely to Kauai. I would love to be hiking through the Waimea Canyon again!

I'd really love to just get in the car and drive straight north. Go on a long, leisurely road trip up to Maine. Sometimes I can't stand the thought of the aggravation of air travel. Or a long cross country train ride might be nice.

Cape Town! Great people, good exchange rate and breathtaking scenery.

I've always wanted to go to The Maldives or the Seychelles Islands...let me flip a coin...okay, the <BR>Maldives it is! Oh, I'm so excited!

Hello All, I would love to be standing anywhere in a grove of giant redwoods in N.CA(so cool and beautiful), and do the wine country tour too! <BR>Judy :-)

i'll do asia.....great wall of china, banaue rice terraces in the philippines, taj mahal in agra, the oriental in bangkok, angkor wat, vietnam and bali. same time zone so no jet lag!!!

I would have to say one of those overwater bungalows on Moorea or Bora Bora (I'm feeling particularly stressed out at the moment, and have a TERRIBLE case of wanderlust today -- argh!). <BR> <BR>Then again, maybe Kenya -- gazing out over the plains at giraffes and zebras, doing my best Karen Blixen impression ("I had a faahm in Ahfreekah...").

Kauai...watching the sunrise thru the balcony door...filling up the entire room with warm, orange sunshine. <BR> <BR>Venice...sitting in St Mark's Sq sippin' an $8 Heinken! <BR> <BR>Paris...watching a sunset from the Arc and then seeing the Eiffel start sparklin'! Or a sunrise from the Seine. <BR> <BR>Sunset from Polihale... <BR> <BR>In otherwords, anywhere but at work, in front of a computer. 8:00...gotta go! <BR> <BR>Mahalo, <BR>Kal <BR> <BR>ps..aloha lisa...DC was a blast but we got soaked on the 4th! Couldn't find any Fodie's on the Mall, either. Bummer. Hang in there...

I endorse all of the above. And Kal, we thought of you guys ... we watched from the GW Parkway, by the LBJ Memorial, under tarp and two unbrellas. Thank god the rain ended just before the display began. Maybe we'll have better weather and see you by the WM next year. Ciao

I'd love to go to Bali. Long flight. <BR> <BR>BTW Leone, I got the reference to the WM. HA ha.

Suzie, WM...Huh? <BR>Bali, si! Also, SF...at The Embarcadreo at sunrise. <BR> <BR>Leone...We barely made it thru the Pointer Sister's "Neutron Dance". <BR> <BR>Hoofed it back (backstroke would have been easier) to the Met/Marriott, threw the soaked clothes in the tub and watched the f'works from our hotel room. <BR> <BR>Yeah...maybe next year. We were ready, tho. Tequila shots in our plastic film cannisters!

Oh Kal you gotta know Leone's not crazy about the new monument to war set to begin construction on the mall this fall.

Yes, Suzie, the WWII memorial will not be one of my finest memories when I eventually depart DC, but I am hopeful it will gradually take its place and be part of the Mall. I can live with it ... a good thing. Yep, I am afraid we opted for the river bank to watch the fireworks, and after all the rain, we were happy to be able to leave for home without having to fight the Metro crowds. Yes, we'll be at the foot of the WM next year, and I hope we can all share some champagne together. Yes, I do know this is against NPS rules, but I will make it CA not FR, so no more sock rinsing, Kal. Take care, and glad you survivied the rains. BTW, it was quite nice to watch thew showers come down the Potomac, and we were glad there was no lightning. Regards to all, e ciao.

I would go sit on the sand at Tyrella Beach outside Newcastle in Northern Ireland and gaze at the Mourne Mountains.

ALOHA... <BR>Kauai,Maui....:)) <BR>ahhhhhh mental vacation... <BR>Palm trees blowing in the breeze,rainbows,beautiful beaches, lovely people,golden bodies,scent of Plumeria,& suntan oils, <BR>chocolate covered macadamia nuts,kona coffee,maui onions,just relaxing on the beach feeling the warm sun on my skin,ALL the beauty all around-in the waters-on the islands-in the sky--do I have to return????:)

Can I pick two places?! ;-) Australia and New Zealand = breathtaking scenery, gorgeous beaches, and hunky men with dreamy accents! ;-)

Ireland!

I could be ready for anywhere. Zermatt, Assisi or the Italian Lakes are calling me back

To Kenya on safari or Bora Bora. We went to Kenya last June and we'll be in Bora Bora in October. I wish I could be in both places right now.

The Seychelles...and I'd never come back.

Okay, West Coast people heard from last night -- now East Coast people get to chime in: <BR> <BR>For me: Barcelona. Culture, food, and not far away, the Mediterranean. Toss in an island or two, and I'm there.

Samantha, if you do hit NZ, give S. Island more time than the north ... and by all means see both east and west coasts. I spent 30 days there and was pushed to see most of it. It is spectacular, especially by Queenstown and Milford Sound. If you're into hiking, plan to go with a small group on the Milford Track, probably one of the finest treks in all the world. Ciao

Italy, Italy, Italy! Anywhere from Florence south!

Why are you on fodors website at 9:00 PM and complaining that you are STILL at the office?????????

Thanks "go Home" now that we have your permission, we shall all pick up and leave....*sigh tell that to MY boss. <BR>But if I could go anywhere tomorrow, I'd be torn.. <BR>Safari in Botswana or Paris my favorite city. <BR>In the US, I think I'd go to New Orleans for some escapist fun.

Why I am still at work at 9:00 pm and on the Fodor's website.......good question......waiting on people from the West Coast to return my phone calls! And I felt like complaining about work.........any other questions I can help you with?
