What would be your perfect vacation?

Tour of Italy.  I'm a big buff of anicient Roman history and love the Renaissance art/architecture.  I would also like to take a tour of the Aegean islands, Cyprus and Crete.  The former has a better chance of occuring than the last.

What would be your perfect vacation?

Hmmm ... perfect vacation.  It'd be a tie between visiting the Alaskan wilderness and visiting Italy, specifically Florence, Venice and Rome.  I've always wanted to go to Denali and see the wildlife, go whale watching, look at the glaciers - for me that would be close to perfect.  On the other end of the spectrum, I've always wanted to go to Italy and see the David in Florence, the canals in Venice and everything in Rome! :)

Greece! I have always loved ancient history. The idea of touching something someone made thousands of years ago is so exciting to me. And the islands are so beautiful. I would love to take a summer and travel all over the country. Take a boat to all the islands and dance on the beach....


the greek islands are amazing - I did a quick island hop to santorini, paros and naxos last year and it was really great. Heard of Hydra but time limitations meant i could only do 3 islands and athens.

for me a perfect holiday would be a trip seeing Oz and NZ. I'd be happy to hostel it and just do the whole tour thing over say 2 months.. Frazer Island, ayres rock, etc etc etc. And a little week in bali in the middle would be nice just to relax as well!

Sigh. So many wonderful places to see in this world of ours, and never enough time, never enough. ...
