  1. When we drive the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, it is kind of scary if you are sitting on the passenger side on the way up. Scary but the view is spectacular!

    It is also fun on a hot day to drive next to the water flowing off the mountain.

    Montana = Magnificently Breathtaking. 🧡

    Oh, my! The 🚘 I think I’d be holding on for dear life. However, it’s worth it cos the views are to die for. :rofl:

    Then, I’m thinking about hungry 🦍

    I’ll post where I want to go tomorrow. TGIF! 🍹

  2. Another place I would like to see is the Grand Canyon. I have looked down on it from a plane, but I would like to be there.

    Another place I would like to see is the Grand Canyon.

    I went to the Grand Canyon a few years ago with a friend on a cross-country trip. It’s a spectacular sight to see (in-person) that’s for sure. You can go white water rafting and also take a mule ride down the Canyon to the bottom and camp out overnight. I didn’t do it, the pathway is very narrow so I was freakin’ out. Eek! 😬

    Then we went to The Hoover Dam, Nevada ~ It’s incredible! The History, The Tour was fun & a learning experience on how it was built and everything.

  3. I want to go to Saigon

    So Saigon is also known as Ho Chi Minh City?

    Yep, the official name is Ho Chi Minh City while Saigon is the old name that’s still in use. If you have noticed their airport code is still “SGN”. I guess that locals don’t mind calling it either way. 😆


    Saigon is so cool, I have made some math for traveling there, everything is cheap. I mean $300 for a week in a 4-star hotel, with half-board included (it might have been a special offer though). However, the only thing making me reconsider the trip is the airline cost. Okay, also the idea that I can’t make up my mind, should I save money for Cuba or Vietnam. That’s the dilemma. I like both of the places, and it’s interesting to see their cultures.

    Damn, that’s cheap, what about the entertainment? food? Anything that you enjoyed nom-nomming on? You’re a foodie so spill the beans. 😛

  5. So Saigon is also known as Ho Chi Minh City?

    Yes, I know. Actually I informed beforehand if it was OK to call it Saigon, because after the war it was renamed after Ho Chi Minh.

    When I go to New York, I visit my Brooklyn sister and stay at her apartment in Flat Bush.

    I also wanted to go with my co-actor/produce to Saigon and or Cambodia, once we are done with all the remaining work on our feature.

    I could also imagine to take in the scenery with you though.

    Besides, who would you want to take with you to Saigon or New York? Or are you like @wp_kid like to travel alone. I mean, I’m sure you would want to take in the scenery with a travel partner. 😃

    I would like to visit Nazca lines in Peru ( which were created to be seen from above, why?! ), with my friend who is a archeologist, so plenty of fun is guaranteed. 😄

    I’m intrigued by ancient history.

    Who are the Nazca people?

    The Nazca civilization flourished on the southern coast of Peru between 200 BCE and 600 CE. They settled in the Nazca and other surrounding valleys with their principal religious and urban sites being Cahuachi and Ventilla, respectively.

    How did the Nazca Lines get there?

    Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 500 BC and 500 AD The figures vary in complexity. … Because of its isolation and the dry, windless, stable climate of the plateau, the lines have mostly been naturally preserved.

    OK, I’m going to check out some :books: from the library. 😄

    I’ll see if I can find some documentaries DVDs, too.

    Oh and btw, I think that guy is your friend. 😛

    Samarkand, Uzbekistan

    And Santorini, Greece

    I want to buy an apartment in:

    Baku, Azerbeijan

    And in Zelenograd, Russia

    I also often visit Turkey and I love Istanbul and Luleburgaz, I love Thessaloniki, Kavala, Serres and Thassos, Greece. Brasov, Romania is also a place I will visit since I never went there but it looks beautiful.

    Samarkand, Uzbekistan and Baku, Azerbeijan ~ The architecture of the buildings is astonishing.

    Hmmm, does he have a castle? I never knew! 😁

    Plenty of room

    So, I’m assuming that he lives in a castle. 😂

    I want the BIGGEST room with the biggest bed.

    :thinking: I hope he’s good at cooking, giving massages and running bubble baths for us girls. 🤭

    … and he better take us to Failte! A little ruggedness sounds nice!

  13. I thought and thought and decided I would like to travel to Norway and Sweden, with a stop off in England and Scotland. My family roots are in all of these countries. (Well, to be honest, I am only a wee bit of Scottish, but I loved the Outlander books and maybe a trip back through the stones would be exciting!) I would go with my children, grandchildren, and my hubby.

    For sure I would drive the Atlantic highway along the coast of Norway.

    And I want to sit on this big rock just like I saw Ragnar Lothbrok do in the History Channel series, Vikings.

    image

    I will NOT go in the winter. I would rather explore the Fjords in summer. Maybe even catch a river cruise.

    I love the villages. They look quaint.

    Although I frequently see the northern lights where I live, I think in Norway and Sweden they will be brighter!

    I also would have to enjoy some Scandinavian cuisine.

    For sure I would drive the Atlantic highway along the coast of Norway.

    GREAT CHOICES :ok_hand:t4:

    Amazing views. I’m just imagining myself driving down the Norway highway nothing compares.

    I know The Florida Keys has a stretch of highway similar to the one you’ve posted.

    The architecture of that museum is just spectacular.

    Off topic: Why is system editing my posts? It says: “downloaded local copies of images” this happend for my previous post too.

    It’s just an automatic downloading of images. It happens when you insert an image link so it’s downloading a copy to the server. However, if you save the image to your 💻 and then upload it you wouldn’t see the edit. 😉

    I would love to relax in one of the luxury hotels, eat like there is no tomorrow and go for a hot balloon through the park - if, I’m really lucky, I may even see lions/leopards/cheetah’s chasing their dinner!

    I honestly don’t know anyone with the same vacation ideas as me, so not sure.
