The Sunday Five: Dream big


1: If you could go anyplace in the world, where would you go? 

2: How would you go there? 

3: Where do you dream of staying there? 

4: How would you spend a day, wandering around there? 

5: What is holding you back? 

My answers: 

1: If you could go anyplace in the world, where would you go? The dream trip for me is Japan.

2: How would you go there? I would love to go by boat, I loath 12-14 hour airline flights. 

3: Where do you dream of staying there? There is a nice Hilton in the city center.  

4: How would you spend a day, wandering around there? The shopping district, and out into the residential areas. 

5: What is holding you back? Worry that I am pushing to much travel too fast. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

  3. 1: If you could go any place in the world, where would you go? I have been to the main places I once dreamt of visiting but let's say... Bhutan.
    2: How would you go there? Aeroplane.
    3: Where do you dream of staying there? In a small and simple hotel with clean sheets and a hot shower close to Punakha .
    4: How would you spend a day, wandering around there? Just that - wandering around, rambling, taking pictures, visiting Buddhist shrines and temples, watching birds of prey circling, soaking it all up.
    5: What is holding you back? Nothing really...just that the desire isn't powerful enough any more. And I am older.

  4. 1. Europe. All of it. Or most of it. Your question didn't put a time limit on how long I could be there.
    2. Big Old Jet Airliner.
    3. Small local places - as long as it's not a shared bathroom.
    4. Our travel is always about walking and getting lost. Of course we see the beaten path, but we love the one less traveled a lot.
    5. Other than leaving the dog, not a lot.
