Dream Vacation/Destination, Anyone?
By azilana7037 •
I guess everyone's feeling the slow rise in the temperature these days. Some forum topics this past few days ended up in heated discussions and fiery exchanges of ideas.
So, let's lighten (oh, brother!!!) things up a bit...
QUESTION: If given the chance to get away from Qatar for 1-2 weeks, where would you go and why?
Let's spice it up (still hot, eh?) a bit, IT'LL BE AN ALL EXPENSES PAID TRIP...
Me? Two weeks in Maldives with or without MY MAN...paradise bliss ;-)
How about you? What would it be?
Hi,
My favourite choice would be at the sea, probably starting from here, down to Kenya, along the east African coast to South Africa. Pretending to be Cheng-Wo who explored the sea few hundred years ago ...
It's surprisingly amazing to travel at sea, esp. on working ships like container vessels instead of cruises. Calm (if no hurricane) & comfortbale. I experienced once (for work) and it's one of my unforgetable moments in live.
F'co
Having visited many times, there is only one place for me
Scotland
Fantastic scenery, cheap by euro standards, fresh air, great bars, fishing etc etc, weather not so good sometimes, but it does not matter, the place is full of rich history with much to see and do, pick the correct time, for festivals such as Edinburgh or the highland games, the whisky trail, the home of golf has so many courses scattered all over the place. 15 minutes drive from the main cities or towns you are in the coutryside, fresh crisp clean air. Try it!
whose going to be with me.... my significant other ;-)
Cheers!

it wont be much tiring , we used to go for continuous rides of upto 5 days in nepal, and it used to be fun with more than20 bikers hitting the road hard.

i am planning to be in the "Roof of the World" inshallah in the middle of June. i learned that it is possible to reach there by train, it realy sounds exciting.
i think i have been there vishal:-) when are you planning to go? i may help with some useful information.
I would go to Paris-Belgium-Amsterdam (which by the way I will on July) then Switzerland-Greece-Spain- Italy (just by train, i love to ride on the train)

Amazing white sand beaches...amazing people. What else would would you need??
New Zealand is the best place..........Its a tourist destanation guys.........love the green fields,inviroment,mountains and lakes.
I wish someday i visit New Zealand Again........
ALL expenses paid? Hmmmm, I'll take the chance!
I just need a ticket worth $200,000. I can take care of shopping expenses.
i'd like to go to germany to visit my special someone and stay there for a week, after a week in germany we both goin to paris by train and spend the rest of the week.
Computers have lots of memory but no imagination.
i guess it would be in milan... spain and new york
HI Charmed, when you go to nepal next time try Dolpa in Karnali region.
By the way how many times have you been to Nepal, its nice to know somebody who loves Nepal.
Manu
Lose yourself in Topkapi Palace and the Bazaar in Istanbul. You'll like it.
I'm planning to go to Trukey.
Anybody been there?
OOOOh...it's all expenses paid trip - then,definetely - South Africa.
i want to go to Rio de Janiero to see the statue of christ.although we are going there this june but in Sao Paulo.
He who makes no mistakes never makes anything........
i still remember very nice 2 weeks vacation I did in Tuscany, Italy. Beautiful places to see, then in the evening go to one of those small towns on the hill, sit in the restorant overlooking beautiful green parts of Tuscany, maybe even catch the sunset and enjoy great cuisine, and nice glass of Chianti...
Surfing, cold coronas, tacos and cheap lobster. Oh yes.
EDIT * And tequila of course!
base camp would be nice thou its overcrowded lately! We looked at going there and the annapurna circuit but have been put off by the masses of trekkers which descend on there every year!Nepal rocks its out favorite country!
the maldives wont be there forever - i think 20 years? Hmmmm were trying to decide where to go for a two week vacation at present! Its between Vietnam and Sri lanka - if i had my way i would go to Tiber - but then that would only be when China withdraw from there so i guess i wont be going there!
Everest Base Camp In Nepal
Azilana go to Maldives b4 it sinks hehehe, I am planning to attend Chelsea Flower show in May. If only my visa is stamped.
Hug Earth today
I would like to do either the Trans-Sibberian railway and take the train from Beijing to St. Petersburg or go from Beijing down through Veitnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. Either way they would both take longer then two weeks. Ummmm for a two week vacation...I would like to go to Argentina, Peru and Brazil.
I feel your scorn and I accept it-Jon Stewart
Cuba for me.
I've always wanted to go, ever since watching the Buena Vista Social Club; it's the kind of faded grandeur of the place that seemed so... I can't think of the right word, but it really appeals. I mean, I know there's a lot of poverty and hardship there, but there also seems to be a lot of positivity, a lot of spirit. I want to spend the nights listening to good music, dancing and drinking mojitos.
But every time I travel I head in the wrong direction.
I will be in hawaii some day for sure...
Hands down it would be the Garden Route in South Africa. From Knysna to Cape Town - with the sea on one side and mountains on the other!

I'm not as well travelled as some but I have been there and would love to get under the surface and see the real deal.
