If You Suddenly Became Rich and Wanted to Travel.

[NoshowJones]

Where would you go and why? Myself, I would go back to America and visit the major battle sites of the Civil War , Mannasas, Antietam, Gettysburg etc, and up to Montana to

see the little Big Horn, the site of Custers Last Stand. I have already been to San Antonio to see The Alamo, Memphis to see Graceland and down to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

 

What country or countries would you like to go and see, and for what reason?

Funny enough, probably the US too. I've only ever been to NYC but would love to spend say 6 months there and go all over, you know to all the places that you see in the films.

[twocatsmac]

Is there a Dukes of Hazzard museum? 

[VocalNeal]

Some F1 GP's, World of Outlaws final Knoxville, Iowa, IOM TT, at least one F1 Powerboat race, Goodwood Revival. 

 

..and work from there. Although i think the worst part of travelling is the actual travelling.

[dabhand]

You could probably just afford to visit Cambodia, now that a $3,000 deposit against potential cv-19 related costs is required at point of entry. This per a US Embassy advisory. Getting that back on departure may be problematic.......

Suddenly became rich for that?

Gosh, I can only assume you must be poor?

Fly their, rent car, and drive.

Probably about a $3,000 to $4,000 trip to have a very good time from most places in the world.  Not exactly a rich man's tour.

I personally would visit Japan. And will put priorities on countries with cultures that are far apart, higher on the list. To maximize new experiences.

For example, if I visit Jordan, and then back to Thailand again, I probably won't visit Egypt soon after, I would go to the other side of the world next. ????

Oh how I wish I can travel more

I bet there probably would be, or something similar to The Waltons TV series, try Youtube.

Ssh.. we are daydreaming. Let us have these fantasies.

[Pilotman]

I would stay right where I am.   I couldn't face an airport experience right now, even travelling First Class.  No, I'm fine here, for now and probably for a long time yet.

Some peoples poor is anothers rich, and some peoples rich is anothers poor.

I really do not see the point in travelling anymore , many cities all over the World all have the same/similar shops , most food can be bought all over the World , you can see photos and videos of everywhere in the World and you can talk to anyone in the world on line face to face .

   Why go anywhere ?

[worgeordie]

Only a couple of places left to visit on my bucket list,

Madagascar, and Easter Island,and maybe stop in at

Machu Picchu,that's it ,what happens when you fill in

everything on your bucket list ?.....do another one.

Things like, Giza pyramids tour with camel ride is appealing to me. You can put a desktop wallpaper of that but it's not gonna be the same. Next best option is to wait for another 20 years until VR gets so developed.. but then you can't smell the real camel dung, so..

[aircooledflat4]

I'm thinking Greece could be the go

[talahtnut]

If I was rich I'd buy the Britania, the old

queens boat, paint it pink, fill it with beer,

rename it The Bollos. And sail about all

over the damn place.

 

[sirineou]

I always wanted to visit Australia and never got around to it, but it is not a function of money so much (I am nor rich by any stretch of the imagination) but rather time. And now the logistics of covid 19 restrictions. I am afraid getting up and going some place is not as easy as it used to be. 

My Nephew has married a nice Australian girl , they live in Melbourne,Australia now, and recently had a baby boy. I would love to go see them and see their beautiful  country but unfortunately having been stuck in the US since the virus started,and having not seen my Thai home for longer than that , and with other obligations in Greece and Italy , and then having to come back to the US again to take care of things there,  even after travel is allowed again, It will be years before I get to go to Australia.  

[Lacessit]

Ireland for the golf courses, summer only.

Trans-Siberian from Moscow to Vladivostok, if the carriage met my comfort specifications.

Mauritius - only flew over it on the way to South Africa, looked like a jewel.

Rome, for the food and history of Roman civilization.

Iceland, for the scenery. Or Outer Hebrides.

I understand Mexican women can be very beautiful.

All places I will never get to, not interested in going back to places I have been.

I've done so much more in my life than I ever dreamed of when I was younger.

If I suddenly had a lot more money, I'm not sure I'd change anything.

Maybe more expensive hotels when I visit Vietnam/Cambodia, but I'm fairly happy with the cheap ones I currently use.

Did all that, Valley of the kings, Temple of Luxor, etc.

And Tunisia, Ruins of Carthage.

Also did all that in Jordan, Kings Highway, City of Petra, Camel ride to Wadi Rum.

And Israel, Dead Sea, Masada at dawn, Church of the Nativity, underground city in Jerusalem, wailing wall. 

Lots of skiing, lots of scuba diving ...........

 

Wasn't all that memorable.

Possum is assuming all those reminders of The Civil War and suchlike will still be there by the end of this year. The monuments are dropping like flies in UK!

And can you imagine what a PITA it will be for Google Maps and all other Sat Nav apps to rename all those streets!   PML

My trip is an expensive one ! You said rich, so for me , a slow trip around the world, stopping off where I like, and for how long I like. A dream. Details , New Zealand, Polynesia, an African safari, Egypt, over to South America Argentina, Bolivia, and Finnish up in the US. Too much to see. 

[Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai]

I am an Aussie but USA national parks for me. 

Road trip in good vehicle visit all 49 mainland states.

Been USA 3 times and hired cars. 9 weeks, 4 weeks and 3weeks told 26k miles to about 15 states and 20 national parks and best holidays ever.

Americans so lucky have such great National parks service and an annual parks pass cheap.

Of course would need to see Trump so I could pi## myself laughing all the way home.

Same system many use when sleeping with their wives :   just close your eyes and imagine

[Sujo]

When i was much younger i went to uk and tried to visit everything on a monopoly board. 

 

Now i dislike travel. I like being in different places but hate traveling to get there.

 

So if i had the money i would have condo in the amalfi coast or terre cinqa in italy. A house on lake como. A condo in vietnam. Would live in vietnam and spend summers in the other places.

 

Every year would maybe do side trips to other places.

[nausea]

Nowhere probably, having travelled a little bit already. Sure, if I'd never been to NY, or the Amazon, or Eastern Europe, or Paris, or Dublin, or London, or Greece, etc., etc; I'd want to experience them. Got that out of my system. Still, it would be nice to have the money to do this on a whim. I suppose space is the new frontier, yeah, that'd be interesting. OK, I qualify my original answer, outer space is definitely the place to go, if you have the money. Landing on the Moon and looking back on the Earth, that'd be an experience worth paying a few fortunes for. And think of the selfies, ha!

[moogradod]

Definitely Japan and especially Tokyo after having been there for some years and learning the language reasonably well. You will know why this will give you the kick when you try it but one of the reasons is definitely the food. Another reason is the very clear and sad insight that you may never experience all you would want to in this short life - not even close. It is somehow frustrating to discover that there are high rise buildings packed with the very best restaurants/bars on EACH floor that you will never even come to see while you pass by on the street.
