Alright, spill it. What would be your ideal "Ultimate adventure" Money, location etc. is no object, just try and make it something that could be done today. Where would you go? WHat wonders would you see? Would you, or would you not see an aardvaark?

What's it gonna be?

I'd take a motorcycle trip around the world.

I once attended a seminar by a man named Jim Rogers, who had made his fortune on Wall Street, then took his girl friend and a pair of BMW's on a round the world trip. He had a lot of trouble in Africa, so I'd avoid that area, but the stories he told were fascinating. He tended to look at everything with an eye for investment potential, which doesn't interest me at all, but otherwise it was an interesting couple hours. I think he wrote a book about it as well.

So that's what I'd do. Start in Ireland, ferry to Britain, chunnel to France, hit my wife's relations up in Germany, then Poland and the Baltic States. I'd love to visit Stalingrad, just to walk one of the great battlefields of the world, but that might be a bit out of the way. Then across Siberia (in summer), down into China, catch a boat to New Zealand, then Australia. Cruise to Argentina, and drive back up to the States.

I watched "Then came Bronson" for it's one season as a teenager, I also would do a motorcycle trip. Maybe do it in "Renegade" stlye now though.


Driver: "Taking a trip?"
Bronson: "What's that?"
Driver: "Taking a trip?"
Bronson: "Yeah."
Driver: "Where to?"
Bronson: "Oh, I don't know. Wherever I end up, I guess."
Driver: "Pal, I wish I was you."
Bronson: "Really?"
Driver: "Yeah."
Bronson: "Well, hang in there."

I'd travel all over the world trying to find new and daring places to take naps and improve my tan.

Money not an issue?

Buying the best and largest D.S.V. available for civilians (probably Russian stuff but who cares), enlist an experienced crew, add the worlds top biologists, archeologists, historicans etc, add further some of the leading fotographers, documentary filmmakers and journalists and explore the oceans.....

Time would be an issue I guess but maybe me children would carry on once I was to old for underwater journeys :)

I would like to dive on the great Barrier reef for a couple of weeks, see some Manta rays, Clown fish and sharks.

I've done the dolphin thing and it was wonderful but i prefered the whole 'carry on as though your not there' thing that you get with a reef dive.

Rome would be cool aswell since the wife is big about ancient Roman stuff.

I've been everywhere in the world i want to. I'd get a house hooked up with a T1 or a T3, terminals in every room of the house and a never ending shipment of the latest hardware and software upgrades. I'd never leave the house and I'd have food shipped in to me and delivered. My house would be on an island and I'd have huge walls with automated CIWS turrets mounted on them and a "confirm target" button at every terminal to take care of unwanteds.

I'd waste away playing MMORPGs until I choked on a chicken bone and died.

Thailand is nice too...

For an adventure? I'd do the motorcycle thing myself. But, if typical U.S. citizen fashion, f'uck the rest of the world, me on an iron horse cruising the millions of miles of backroads right here in the states. Add in a couple of shotguns in cowboy style slings, and viola, one ready made country avenger. LOL

A viola? That's an odd choice for a gun-toting biker. Maybe a viola case, which could hold a few pistols, el Mariachi-style.
Smiley: tongue

I would drive across/around the US and Canada with my brother, playing golf. Then again, I could get paid to do that for a living. Would be nice...

If money were no object, I'ld like to lay on a beach with white sand and water so clear it looks like....... incredibly clear water. I'ld have servants (or waiters for you PC types) bringing me drinks and food and food whenever I desired. I'ld get to ride jetskis and snorkel, and try parasailing, NO WAIT. I would get to videotape my wife parasailing. That would be awesome. I'ld go from the pool to the ocean and back. Maybe it would be a nude beach, I don't know nudity isn't always nice. But if money were no object I suppose I could pay extra for beautiful nudists? Yeah, that would be a week to remember.

And it might happen in the near future (minus the naked people). Me and the little lady have been planning a vaction to a caribbean resort. won't be this summer. But maybe next Spring.

I'd like to explore Japan, wear a kimono, spend time soaking in tall wooden hot-tubs, Japanese baths and massages, eating sashimi, drinking miso and sake, browsing the awesome tech stores, exploring old villages and museums, riding the fast trains, oohing at Japanese gardens.

Then India, wearing a sari, having henna patterns painted on feet and hands, riding fancy dressed elephants, eating curries til my head explodes, seeing the Taj Mahal.

Plenty of others but those will do for starters hehe.
