Where would you go on vacation?

We're heading out July 8th for 3 weeks hauling to fifth wheel camper to Fort st John British Columbia. We'll be spending a few days in Drumheller Alberta.

Took the kids to Drumheller a couple years ago, really neat place to see. If you have time there's an old mining town close by that has an old restaurant, that was a pretty neat place to visit and eat at. Take lots of money, nothing is cheap there! Lol
If you're taking the transcanada through Manitoba you'll be about an hour south of me when you go through Brandon.
 
Oh and take good shoes if you plan on climbing the Hoodoos, I seen people climbing them in sandals and flip flops, one guy was about 300 pounds coming down in sandals and was half out of control, not sure how many people get hurt there in a year, but it would be people like him.
 
Thanks for the advice. We're actually planning on boondocking at the Brandon Walmart on the second night. Yes, we're going in style. 😎 Saving money along the way. First night is at her parents place.
 
I totally get where you're all coming from. Long-haul flights are just exhausting — anything over 10 hours and I start questioning my life choices midair! Dubai sounds fascinating, but yeah, with the current restrictions and the heat, it might not be the most relaxing choice right now. Honestly, I've been leaning toward something closer to home too — maybe a scenic road trip through the Pacific Northwest or a few quiet days in the Smoky Mountains. A comfortable drive, cool weather, and no jet lag sounds just right these days.
 
The Inca Trail - Peru

I want to do a week's trek and want to see the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu. I heard the most popular trek is about 4-day Classic Inca Trail. Looks wonderful in pictures and documentaries.

A friend of mine did that trail.

He said it was amazing and beautiful.

I want to do the Trail of 88 Temples in Japan. It is a UNESCO world heritage trail.
 
My eldest Granddaughter Kasey and her friend are moving to Oregon before long.
Guess I'll be booking a flight there sooner or later.
 
Honestly, I’ve always dreamed of a road trip through the Rockies—just cruising along mountain passes, stopping at lookout points, and breathing in all that fresh air. Something about letting the road guide you, with no rush and no fixed agenda, feels incredibly freeing. I remember a trip where our group decided to rent a coach BCS Bus—it made the whole journey so much more fun: everyone chatting, sharing snacks, and stopping where the views called us. The ride itself becomes part of the adventure, not just the destination. That’s exactly the kind of vacation I’d pick—where the drive, the company, and the landscapes all come together into one unforgettable experience.
 
I read your discussion it is very interesting and amazing, and I am happy to know about your experience. I think you are a crazy traveler and you love to see beautiful and different places. I love to travel and I love to explore beautiful attractions and have a great time there.
 
I’ve always dreamed of visiting Japan — the mix of tradition and technology fascinates me. Earlier this year, I finally made it happen! I booked my flights through Travorio, and honestly, it made the whole process so easy. The platform gave me great flight deals, and I loved how I could compare hotels and experiences in one place. The best part was being able to pay later — super convenient when you’re planning a big trip.
 
I love traveling everywhere. The Wife and I have done extensive travel all our married life.
I would do the Caribbean again. On a bareboat sailing cruise. Snorkeling off of Moreau or Palm Island
But;;;;;;
If I had to choose a favorite place, it is on the couch with my head in her lap.
 
I love traveling everywhere.
Me too. We've visited 15 States this year. Also did drive through of another 7 States.
I've now completed visits to 47 States. Will do the last 3 in the next year or two. The Mrs. only has 38 States done so we'll do some more trips so she can see the last 12.
 
I work 56 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. (Minus holidays).

..... The only place I want to be when I have a day (or more) off..... is my back yard, or my bedroom.

Traveling is too much like work.

I never added them up. However, I believe I have been in every state but Hawaii at least once.
Crumpy was not with me on my marathon trip to Tacoma-Seattle to deliver a machine for wrapping fruit pies. I went through Montana, the Dakotas, Wyoming and Idaho. She missed those.

I did that too for decades.
Retired and freed up a lot of time so traveling while I can (before I get too old to do it).
Don't get me wrong, my favorite places are my acreage and my bedroom.
The Mrs. & I traveled all over but we've yet to find a spot we like better than what we have now.
 
I just did a little math.
This year, I've put about 7,000 miles on rental cars cruising around the USA.
I've only put 1,000 miles on my personal vehicles, half of which was traveling to visit out-of-state relatives.
 
The lovely missus and I are traveling to southern Ontario next weekend for 4 days. Other than that, we have no real travel plans as we plan on sticking closer to home next summer while we save up for our next big rv trip with the fifth wheel camper in two years when we hope to travel to the east coast. That will be at least a 3 week trip.
