Stupid Vacation Poll.

I think it's time for another stupid survey poll thing. Let's see hm hm erm ahm. Okay, here we go: name your dream vacation spot. I know it's a lame question, but I'm voyeuristically curious. Your dream vacation spot can be anywhere on the planet and can be someplace you have or haven't already visited. If anyone feels like getting extra creative, name the best vacation spot you've actually been to, along with the worst. Post in the comments...

Best Vacation – Ireland. I went once for a few weeks back in the 90′s and I still talk about it. I love it there! Keeping my fingers crossed for a trip this year!

Dream Vacation Spot – The Moon. It belongs to America.

Best: Toss up between Scotland last summer, a big family reunion with more than 40 of us in a huge house, and Disney World in September of 2002… it’s crass and disrespectful and probably a mortal sin, but the anniversary of September 11th was the BEST DAY EVER in the Magic Kingdom, because everyone was afraid there would be another attack. We didn’t wait more than 5 minutes for any ride, even the rollercoasters.

Worst: When I was 12 and my parents thought it would be fun to spend a few days in London before heading off across England to see family… jet lag caused major adolescent depression in me and my brother, we cried all the time and didn’t want to do anything. (Never, ever go to the London Dungeon when you’re jetlagged.)

Dream Vacation: I’d love to see Tuscany and Pompeii, but I don’t speak Italian or know much about Italy and I’m afraid my murdered corpse will end up on the bottom of the Mediterranean.

My dream vacation has always been to do the states in a Winnebago. You know…stop at every visitors centre, buy a shitload of postcards and souvenirs…and eat my way across America, one greasy diner at a time!

Feudal Japan. And it’d be one of those amazing vactions where you say "Screw the normal life" and take a chance and move there.

Mmmm… Samurai….

Oh, and it’d be cool to go somewhere fun in space. After we actually have junk up there to see. Like moon colonies and space stations and aliens and stuff.

Still from the internet cafe…
$600 bucks to fix my computer, fuckit.
Place I’d love to got to?
Melmac of course. Ronda’s got a nice rack (don’t tell gordo).
Seriously, the first human on mars would be the ulimate.
I HATE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO LIVES AND CREATE VIRUSES.

Hmm, I’m from Halifax NS B-Dawg..
I think just going back there is pretty sweet

I was just down there at Christmas and it was awesome.

I’d like to send my enemies in a crate to deepest South America so they could contribute to the Vastly Important Bootleg Transplant Organ Industry. Waste not, want not. Then vacation on CyberTron in a Family Truckster AutoBot during one of the rare quiet periods between wars.

Italy – because (I would assume, however incorrectly I may be that) there are few places in the world that can offer the same level of historical and cultural significance on the tourism level.

China (plus Hong Kong and Taiwan) – to visit my homeland since I’ve never been there. You know, one of those cheesy "find your roots, find yourself" quests. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I’ve never been anywhere near Asia. I’ve really got to go someday.

I’d also love to visit a tropical rainforest. I think that’d be really cool.

As for the best vacation I ever had, my father, brother, and I took a 2-week long vacation driving from L.A. to Yellowstone Natl. Park and back. It was a great bonding experience and, well, you can’t say enough great things about Yellowstone.

Laughin NV "Worst vacation ever!" that is something like the comic book guy from the Simpsons would say. Dream vacations Hawaii, Kanto (from pokemon), and mobius when everything is well there

Spend a week exploring the Savage Land. Strongbadia the next week. Finish up with a week on a pirate ship with Luffy D. Monkey and his crew. But I usually have fun here at the Gallery setting tourists right when they ask about -snicker- "any real Indian villages" that may be around here. If you’re ever in Anadarko, Ok, we’re the building with the murals. (plug, plug)

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/26/2004 6:11 PM

best vacation: it’s a toss up… Cairns, Australia or Guilin, China or Hainan Island, China or Seoul, Korea. first three are beautiful. Korea, well, I just had fun there.
worst vacation: Dallas, Texas… too hot. can’t stand it. weird people.

dream vacation: hmmm… I’d have to say Italy. finding my roots and all. maybe I’ll find "uncle Vinnie". I still want to travel a bit in China and Korea (I’ve been in China 3 1/2 years) but going back to Los Angeles to see my soon to be twin nieces/nephews. that’s a great dream vacation too. I also want to go to Africa and anywhere in Europe and southeast Asia.

My dream is to be a travel photographer. I want to go everywhere bea-u-t-ful!!!!!

I looooove Cape Cod!!!

Chestnuts roasted by Katie @ 02/26/2004 7:34 PM

Best vacation ever would be N’awlins (been there twice and trying to get back ever since). There is just something magical about that city that even 10,000 identical crappy tourist traps and urine-y streets can’t obliterate. Hopefully I’m going back this summer for the big 2-1. Bourbon Street, baby!
My worst vacation would probably be Albuquerque, New Mexico. There’s nothing particularly cruddy about it, just nothing particulary exciting either. All I remember is lots of cactus and caves.
My dream destinations are Tokyo, Japan, Rome/Florence, Italy, Ibiza, Spain and Melbourne, Australia, all of which seem to be pretty common. I’d also love to go to Disney World.

my dream vacation spot would be alaska its nice and cold there thats why i want to vacation there worst vacation spot was kearny nebraska it was a hamm raido convention i doubt i spelled it right either but oh well

Worst vacation was Miami, hands down. Everything that could go wrong that week did.
Best vacation Talahasee, Fla. Didn’t do much interesting but it was great hanging with my friend there.

I wonder what Jenna has against Holland, I hate it but that’s because I live there.

Chestnuts roasted by Jonas @ 02/26/2004 8:28 PM

I would like to go to NYC or Japan. TV makes them look very fun. Why would TV lie to me?

The best place was The Outer Banks in North Carolina. It had better weather than Florida. This year I will be 21 when we go down. They also had a bunch of stuff for the Wright Brothers. It was very cool especially since I live in Dayton Ohio.

The worst place was Disney Land. We stayed in a hotel there. It was great in the hotel but It was the $3 cokes and the hour lines for the 3 minute ride. Oh and that crap about everyone getting to hug Mickey was a big lie. I guess TV lies.

Place I’d most like to visit: the coasts of Maine. Cold doesn’t bother me (much), and I’d love to see a beach that isn’t flat as a board.

Best vacation: An NYC trip to visit friends in the summer of 2001 (yes, before 9/11, and I got nowhere near the Towers).

Worst Vacation: The trip up to Six Flags Great Adventure in 1995. First of all, we took the trip on a weekend when there was a hurricane warning. Second, Dad never got us hotel rooms and all there were no vacancies anywhere near Great Adventure, so our planned overnight trip became a day trip. It was hot, it was humid, and Dad left the maps in the car. My brother was too little then to go on half the rides, and my younger sister and I argued most of the day. (The other one had enough sense to choose her job over going with us.)

Well, of course, I can’t say that it would be the perfect spot since I’ve never been there, but I’ve always wanted to go to Australia. And no, not just for the beer.

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 02/26/2004 10:01 PM

Wow, Chris and I have the same dream vacation in mind. I’ve always wanted to go to Venice. That or Australia.

A-Wel, you’re obsessed man.

Chestnuts roasted by ShadowWing the Technorganic Autobot @ 02/26/2004 10:12 PM

I’ve always wanted to go to Cybertron.

…what? o_o

Best vacation I’ve been on: Disneyland. I know. Cornyville.

Worst vacation: Six Flags. Oh gawd. I don’t even know why the fuck I went there if I don’t like rollercoasters >_<

Dream Vacation: Jade Stadium, Christchurch, NZ. Of course, the All Blacks would crush the Wallabies for it to be a complete dream-come-true type of deal…

Best Vacation: Moving from Boston to Reno. Got to see the USA in my (now ex-) girlfriend’s Chevrolet. Maybe it was the trail of dirty mattresses we left in our wake that made it so much fun.

Worst Vacation: Disney World, late autumn 1985. My dad was on his last legs and wanted to go to Florida one last time; all well and good except that the hotel turned out to be a fleabag joint and the restaurant next door had the worst food this side of the Third World with employees who came therefrom. But since my dad was confined to a wheelchair dying of cancer (it finally got him in the fall of ’86), it wasn’t like we could stretch our horizons. Plus, it was freakin’ Disney World, which even as a kid I couldn’t stand.

Governor Schwarzenegger’s mansion. Smoke a few cigars, lift some weights.

Chestnuts roasted by CasinoRoyale @ 02/27/2004 12:09 PM

Hate to be boring and cliche at the same time, but the dream vacation spot would be Hawaii.
