I got my fill of traveling when I was a kid, but I guess I wouldn't mind going to England and spending a couple of months spooking around the British Library. And seeing some sites important to Victorian and Edwardian literature.

Oh, and U of Texas at Austin...they have a book that I want to read, and it seems to be the only public-access copy in the world, at least with regard to libraries that participate in WorldCat.

I guess it's always books with me.

Maybe I wouldn't mind one of those Galapagos tours...but only because I'm a big fan of Charles Darwin.

if I can bring someone, me and one of my...uh friends.. are going to disney california for a month.

if i can't, i'm just going to see him.

I love Disneyland, I'd go there every month if I could

I'm rather curious about that book Arch. What is it?

Chrissty, I can be bothered for that. Invite away.

You all seem to have much more variety than I anticipated. I'm glad to know that you have dreams and they aren't all trans related.

I have always wanted to go to Germany as the is where my grandparents are from on both sides. So many places to see and things to do and miles to go before I sleep.


I would give it all away tho, for the right person. Someone to share all the good and bad in life where ever it may go. Sadly, I don't think that is feasible for me.

You and me both Kat.  And I often question whether such will ever be feasable for me either.  Only time will tell.  Hang in there though, you never know what the future will bring.

As for the original question...I honestly don't know.  The most exotic place I've visted was Canada (Regina/Saskatoon).    I haven't travelled much really...but I don't have any burning desire to go anywhere in particular.  I'm not sure I'd enjoy it without someone to share it with.

Germany and Scandinavia, ending up on Svalbard.  That's about as far as I can get from here, and I like the idea of being as close as possible to the North Pole.
And it just sounds like a cool name especially with an accent.

I've been thinking that it would be cool to visit some of the people I met here, especially the ones I seem to have gotten close to.

Definitely go to England and take my friends with me.....and then go shopping.

Hmm, forgot about shopping, not much shopping on Svalbard, can shoot my own fur coat though!

I'd go to the International Space Station:

I'd join vexing - and a day down on the moon as well, play some football and watch earthrise, be good.



That'd be two weeks - the other two weeks would include Petra in Jordan,



and a wander round the italian alps I guess.

I would go to New York.  I LOVE new york.  I visited it as a kid and loved it to much.  The tall buildings, the traffic.. i just like it.

I would buy a flat (money is no object) and I would live there.  Walk the streets, relax, buy food, eat out, visit cool stores, buy awesome clothes.

To different dimension where I am a cis-woman.

New York smells of wee.

I think I'd sail across the atlantic.

Travel around Italy. Do some shopping in Milan.

Sorry, didn't mean to be so mysterious. It's called The Stone Giant. It's an 1898 book by C. C. Dail. It's probably pretty bad, but I want to read it anyway.

Definitely go visit Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam... It looks so beautiful!!

I would ship my motorcycle to Geneva and ride as many roads in the Alps as possible, with leftover time to ride down through the Apennines and maybe the Carpathians.  And maybe if there was still enough time left (and I still had energy), ride from Oslo to North Cape. 

Aaah, twisty roads and mountain air and evenings of wine and song, and maybe a handsome fellow-rider here or there.

You may get a chance to look at it but to read it, unless it is the general collection, and you are some visiting Prof a weak chance at best.

I remember when I was a teen, trying again to be male, I had taken up martial arts and was very good. I wrote to the curator at Liverpool museum to see the behind the scene Samurai weapons they may have. They replied quickly and I and a friend handled the most awesome swords, arrows, both throwing and  bow designed. It was a tremendous afternoon. I asked if they were going to be put on display and the reply was probably never. The blade on the sword had been turned over fifty times and was probably made in 9th century by a Master.

This was 40 years ago. I remember it still.

Many museums are quite lovely, especially smaller ones. The Dundee Library sent me the entire photocopied text of the manuscript of a play written by William McGonagall.
