OK, just for fun. Say you were on Oprah and she was giving away a weeklong dream trips and she pulled out your name. Where would it be and where would you stay?

A week in Heaven just to see if a pious life is worth it at the end.

I would love to see the Carribean. The hotel of choice... well any 4 or 5 star would work as long as the beach was nice. I am just in the mood right now for a week at the beach.

Second choice is a week at Mauna Kea Beach Resort. Love the view.

Sheesh -- only ONE?
I'll take any one of the following:
Pyramid-view room in Giza
Hayman Resort in Australia [on the GB reef]
Angkor Wat [with a plush room -- maybe the sofitel]

my embarkation port since it

If you noticed I havent' picked mine yet. Still thinking. Let's just put it this way. It is either the Mauna Kea in a suite with full ocean view. Or in a luxe hotel in Paris. Never been to Paris. Also love Sidney. I know, it is hard to pick just one.

I think a week in Hell would be the ultimate adventure tour. I could meet the devil and hang out with lots of my friends and people of like interests. If it was over the july 4th week the fireworks would be just hellaious. Lots of cook-outs, bonfires, and hot tub fun.

Imagine spending a day picking Hitler's brain, and all those Washington politians from days gone by. When people ask where to go for a dream trip I could tell them to go the Hell. \/

Only a week??? I would head to the Seychelles but only if first class air is included in the offer It's much too far to fly in coach. Or closer to home, I'll take Necker Island for a week
