Where would you go?

[Sally, la reina]

No real reason I'm asking. Well, recently while grilling evie/emily/gail some australian chick I asked where they'd go if given the opportunity for a two week all expenses paid vacation.

I'd go to Greece

Or to visit the Australian chicks


Who'd go with me?

[[deleted user]]

I'd go to Australia but not Greece. Talk about funky butt lovin'...

[Stina]

I'd go to either of those places!

I'd also go to Hawaii, on a Mediterranean cruise, on a road trip across the US, and pretty much anywhere except Mexico, North Korea and the Persian Gulf area.

[Mark]

On an interesting aside, my friend Claire went Island hopping around Greece and kept running into Australians so I guess you could do both in Greece.

[Phil]

Two weeks, all expenses paid?

International Space Station.

[Sally, la reina]

@ Mark: HA!

@ Phil: hm

@ Stina: that makes me sad that Mexico goes in the category with North Korea. Although I can see why it's touristy but not for me appeal might be better for, say, eastern Europeans or Spaniards.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It kind of depends who is with me. But disregarding that:

Moscow, Siberia, remote Hawaii, the Faroe Islands, anywhere in far northern Europe, maybe the Baltics, Poland.

[Jim]

My wife has a desire to go to Australia, so that is on the list.

Spain/Italy/Greece would be a nice trip.

[Carol]

European whirlwind tour
Turks and Caicos

[evie]

Scotland, Canada, Italy or France . I would like to visit New York too.

I agree. Canada is lovely, the people are friendly, and they have beavers and loons on their money.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh I FUCKING LOVE LOONS.

Of course, you can get loons in Maine/Vermont/New Hampshire too. At least for now - climate change will have them moving way up north for good.

[evie]

What is a loon?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

An aquatic bird that likes northerly climes and has a haunting call.

[evie]

What a beautiful creature!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

They're not always easy to spot, as they don't like being around humans. Much easier to hear them than see them. As they live right on the water, their calls often echo across bodies of water which magnifies the sound.

[Riona]

Is that a baby loon on Momma's back?

I'd love to move to a cabin in the Canadian wilderness somewhere where I could fish all day. Oh, and a satellite dish so I could pull in "Hockey Night in Canada."

Sigh...

There are Loons in Wisconsin too.

Yes I left this one wide open.

[evie]

I like hanging out here and watching the whales play.





Hyams Beach NSW South coast 2.5 hours drive from my house.

They become especially evident (and bold) during election cycles.

I hope so, otherwise it's an imposter.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Arrest.

[Jammies]

I would go to Scotland, then Yorkshire, then London, then Wales.

[Mark]

Don't forget Dublin Jammies.

[Jim]

I'm not sure she's allowed in Dublin after last time :-)

[Mark]

Now I am interested.

[Jim]

I'm not sure I have all the details correct, but it has something to do with a Saudi prince a box of oranges and a porcupine.

[Mark]

That sounds like it could be an elaborate assassination attempt based on stretching the limits of a certain vaginally based part trick that one does with ping pong balls and poisoned porcupine quills.

[Cynthia]

Depends on the time of year. In August, I'd like a cabin on a northern Minnesota/Michigan lake. A big lake, with a rocky shore, and no fucking motorboats. Canoes and kayaks and fishermen who know how to row a damn boat. Leech Lake in Minnesota will work, off the top of my head. Nice long dock, fridge full on delicious fresh fruit and veg, and plenty of chilled white wine and books to read. And a campfire.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'd take that too, but with chilled beer instead of wine. Very, very chilled beer. And marshmallows, Hershey's chocolate bars, and graham crackers.

[Cynthia]

Oh yeah, definitely some s'mores. I like mine with dark chocolate and a slightly burned marshmallow.
::Passes LG an icy cold Leinenkugels::

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I like milk chocolate and the marshmallow can be almost completely incinerated.

DOCK! She said DOCK!

::blushes at how he read that sentence the first time::

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh Lord love a duck.

[Jim]

Oh Cynthia love a dock, a long dock!

[Sally, la reina]

Long Duck Dong?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Is that the guy from Sixteen Candles?

[Sally, la reina]

He was in a tree.

Amen.

[Sally, la reina]

I've never done anything like this. Sounds nice.

It was a hedgehog! And that prince had a filthy mind.

[Sally, la reina]

Gross. You guys!

[Cheri]

Venice.

[Cynthia]

I think I'd like to be in Maui or Kauai for election day/the day after the election. Could be a party. Or maybe just a pity party. Either way, it could be great.
