Ask Lemmy

Rowing in sweden. Go there by bike.

Money and time no object? I would do a tour of the Pacific islands on a 110 Wally sailboat complete with crew so I get to do the fun stuff like helming and none of the boring stuff I don't feel like doing that day. Would hit at a minimum Galapagos, Tahiti, Fiji, New Caledonia and on down to the Sundays in Australia. Would take about 6 months although I could spend a lifetime there.

If I was time limited to two weeks? Sailing in the Bahamas in a Outreamer cat, these are as large as I can safely handle with my partner and its a lot lot shallower than the Wally so I get to explore far more of the Bahamas. Shorter holidays I want less flight time, so direct like this is perfect.

Malta I have been wanting to see the hypogeum for a while.

New Zeeland. But not by plane - by ship! I hate flying, but half around the globe on a small luxury cruise ship or yacht would be nice.

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

The Moon.

Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.

I would go to Freemoneyland and get free money

I handle this, as do most poor people, by not asking ourselves this question, not even fantasizing about it, for why torture yourself with something you never can do?

The sun.

The fuckin moon, and it's not even close. Get me off this rock

I'd just rent a cabin in a nearby mountain.

I don't see the appeal in going far away from vacation.

Honestly I wanna do an expedition to the North Pole and see the sun do weird shit. Then treck to the South Pole so I can see the sun do weird shit but backwards. Like I know that sun is a weird freak when it doesn't think you're looking, that's why it does it at the poles. Then along the way from North to south I'll tell people how weird the sun is, and they'll have to believe me because I've been there, and they'll have to say "damn the sun is weird". Sun's going to be so embarrassed when everyone finds out how weird it is.

That or like go to Cancun or something. Anywhere that I can keep track of the sun that twisted freak you aren't fooling me.

Japan. Several European countries.

Probably any other country where I could get a doctor to take a look at my heart condition without having to take out a loan against my house to pay for it.

I'd like to see Japan deeply. I'd go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.

Alpha Centauri

Alpha Centauri system. I'd keep spending money until we got a working fusion reactor and Alcubierre Drive, open source the designs, and go check that shit out.

Well if money is no object then a world tour that lasts the rest of my life, thanks (or if I can use this magic purse on behalf of others instead, stay home and buy up all the world's debt, sponsor a jubilee year.)

1996

I'd donate alot to my local makerspace then take unpaid leave for a good while and just make things. If I had to travel i would probably go to Germany to see a few friends, it's been too long.

I'd buy millions of people millions of epic exotic vacations.

My son asked me this yesterday. Japan.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but maybe we should all cool it on the tourism. It's terrible for the environment, mostly terrible for whomever was calling that place home. I know so many people that spout off about the environment and then think nothing of hopping on multiple flights per year.

If I were king everyone would get travel passes twice. Once in their 20s and again in their 60s.

Stay home, read a book, plant a garden.

A tour through the Nordic countries.

I've only ever seen Sweden from the highway from Malmö to Stockholm to get to a boat to Estonia in time, and only saw bits of the harbor in Helsinki during that trip. I'd love to take more time to explore Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Switzerland.
