Hi,

This is the Take Your Friends, Family and Anyone you want, no matter how many on vacation - you pick the place. You'll have plenty of money to really enjoy it! One post per answer, post as many times as you'd like, just leave time for others to post too.

I will start: I'm taking all my friends and family (that I actually get along with, that's family not friends, and most of you), to Sweden!

Hey Thanks
J B. Nov 3, 2006, 6:25am EST
Oh Marilyn thank you! That is just what I needed this morning. I am on my transatlantic cruise headed for Greece.
J B. Nov 3, 2006, 6:29am EST
Marilyn, I can't remember if I gave you the 10 you deserve so I am stopping by to make sure I do. What the heck - everything costs double when you are on vacation right?

I will go to Aruba with my daughter because she is my best friend and I will show her what she missed when she didn't get to go when my husband and I went. I would love to go to Scotland, but not quite up to that big of a trip right now.
Alan Fisher Nov 3, 2006, 8:52am EST
The great Mohabi desert with my girlfriend and some camels ;)

Kara C. Nov 3, 2006, 11:20am EST
Either a secluded island all to myself or a large boat all to myself... with the requisite people to cook, clean and provide amenities of course.
Barbara F. Nov 3, 2006, 11:26am EST
I'll take Paris as my first destination...I'd love to show all my family and friends the sights and places I've discovered on my trips over then, then board Eurail north, south then east and west...From there into Italy, through some of the most beautiful countryside of Switzerland...ahh, just writing about it makes my brain go into overdrive...;)
Lindsey S. Nov 3, 2006, 1:06pm EST
I'm going to Rio
Felix R. Nov 3, 2006, 1:19pm EST
Lisbon
Dorine H. Nov 3, 2006, 3:06pm EST

If he won't have me along, send me to a beach resort in Crimea with a side trip to Istanbul to eat in the seafood restaurants for several days.
Cathy S. Nov 3, 2006, 3:12pm EST

Bonnie C. Nov 3, 2006, 5:26pm EST
I would like to visit Scotland and Italy do do some family research!
Leah Christensen Nov 3, 2006, 6:40pm EST
WOW Doc!!

I was going to say Russia, but that's included in your itinerary. I think I'll just follow you on your vacation.

Hey, when we get to Denmark, I know a couple of places. I'll take you on a tour of Odense, my mother's hometown. I'll buy you dinner in my favourite little seafood restaurant. I wonder if the piano player still remembers me. I'll introduce you to some friends and relatives I still have in Denmark. They will LOVe you!! I'll also teach you all the BEST words in Danish, and set you up with a couple of nice Danish gals. OK where was it you said you wanted to go after you left Denmark? LOL
Jenna is around here somewhere s. Nov 3, 2006, 7:45pm EST
Anywhere warm..: ) I too am freezing, love the rv trip I would visit all my family :)
Beth W. Nov 3, 2006, 7:48pm EST
I would like to go to Antarctica before it melts!
we are hiding in the bags of doc....hey with all that he travels, imagine what I am going to see even if from inside of the luggage.
roxanne m. Nov 4, 2006, 12:15am EST
I owuld like to go to the west...never have seen the Pacific ocean...have been as far west as texas and minnesota...
Barbara B. Nov 4, 2006, 12:16am EST
An Alaskan Cruise followed by the train trip.
Visionaerie B. Nov 4, 2006, 12:25am EST
How about New Zealand? I like all those little possums and the climate seemed to suit the hobbits as well. I'd join Gautami and Shannon in Tahiti, but sadly, I can't tolerate the heat very well. Happy trails!
Walker Bennett, SF Author Nov 4, 2006, 9:34am EST
Jenna,

I'd trade you briefly. It's only 7:30 here and I just came in from outside with no shirt. We still wear short sleeves to work

I'd like a short trip to Arkhangelsk or Murmansk. They already have over a meter of snow and that would take care of my cold craving for a couple of years.
Leah Christensen Nov 4, 2006, 2:54pm EST
Walker! On your way there, come by Guelph and picke me up. Sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
Robin K. Nov 4, 2006, 9:39pm EST
I'd like my family to join Doc's trip! Are you accepting straglers? ;)
Amber Fire Nov 5, 2006, 12:10am EST
My loving hubby, all the kids, all the dogs & cats (the fish can stay) off to Scotland, I'm staying home to vacation and rest ;-)
Leah Christensen Nov 5, 2006, 1:27am EST
That's one way to get rid of them, Amber. LOL I'm interested to know why you'd chose to send them to Scotland. ;-)
Dawne Joy Nov 5, 2006, 12:16pm EST
A trip all around the country for a couple of months(especially out West - never been there), then an extensive Alaskan cruise(I want a real tour through Alaska!). Off to Wiesbaden Germany (to check out where I was born and see the largest natural hot springs in the world:-D)next, over to Ireland(I am a redhead- I'll fit in), and on down to Mexico(to try out my pathetic spanish-lol), over to England(to see the castles), then to a private secluded isle somewhere(wouldn't it be cool if it was the "Lost" isle - which I know is just Hawaii, but still I can pretend)
Amber Fire Nov 6, 2006, 12:03am EST
Not only is it a fascinating and beautiful land but it is also the roots of our heritage. Okay his mostly -- I was a mutt -- but Scottish does predominate on both sides!!
Robin K. Nov 6, 2006, 10:02am EST
Alright, I just finished pakcing and it's off to Irealand!
Leah Christensen Nov 24, 2006, 9:27pm EST
That's cool, Amber. You know my roots are Danish-Canadian, and my Sweetheart has some Russian in his soul, and is an American. After the food I had in Toronto on Tuesday, I kinda wish I was Turkish!!
Leah Christensen Dec 14, 2006, 2:30am EST
I needed to escape tonight, so I looked up this article, and read through all of the comments again. What a great cyber-vacation!!! ;-) Thanks, everyone!!!
