Your ridiculously expensive dream vacation?

September 6th, 2012 at 10:31 pm

For me a special vacation would be:

1. Iceland.

Go on a great 5-7 days horseback trip across a beautiful landscape on an icelandic horse.

Dive Silfra and Strýtan. (very unique dive sites!)

Kick back for 2 days in Reykjavik.

Rent a camper or a car and explore remote parts of Iceland, camping or farm stays.

Visit Blue Lagun for 1 day.

About 3 weeks total.

Vacation #2

Fly to Singapore, spend 5 days there than off to the main attraction - Maldives. Stay in one of those over the water luxury bungalows, like this one

but those are like 2 k a night with 3 nights minimum, and I can't bring myself to enjoy that, even though I think that Iceland vacation would run more expensive in total (but thats over 3 weeks). Plus, not only airfare to get there, but airfare betwen the islands is very expensive as well.

We've been to many great vacations, spending a month abroad each year, and I always want to plan and look forward to something. I think this would be special. After we come back from Vail I will start pricing out Iceland and see what our time frame would be. There is a ton of research to be done on details in order to make the choices we will enjoy the most. (and from what I've seen of Iceland prices it is not pretty).

But we'll see -- as with other vacations, we set a goal, and plan to make it happen. It is not instant, but so much more rewarding.

What is your dream vacation?

    Good grief, where do I start? I love to travel but I've hardly been anywhere!

    Tour of Europe -- Italy, Greece and France definitely.

    Japan!

    Thailand

    India

    Somewhere in Central/South America -- Belize? Panama?

    I haven't done too much research because I know the big international trips can't be on our radar right now. We have so many things to pay off/save for. If we pay for intl tickets, it MUST be to see the inlaws in England. But someday ... I hope ...

    There are tons of places still on my "to go" list, but if I had to pick just one destination, it would be this one:

    I have a client who is there right now. He won't be back for another month; I can't wait to hear about it.

    Vacations--my favorite subject!

    Well, we already took a ridiculously expensive vacation this year--a Disney Cruise! LOL

    Our boys were adopted from Russia and we'd like to take them back to visit before they turn 18. We are now a family of 5, and the place they are from is in the far East part of Siberia, so it will be ridiculously expensive.

    Actually, anywhere overseas for a family of 5 will be ridiculously expensive. Smile

    My dream vacation right now would probably lead to a sun-drenched week at a seaside villa in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Either that, or it would be nice to have some insurance that I could take my family to Jamtland, Sweden, which is where my ancestors are from. Either or. Smile Jerry
