Just for fun... as part of the new economic stimulus package, each family will receive round trip airline tickets to any one destination in the world. And in the spirit of global unity, this will include those of you not living in the USA as well!

Where would you go?

Me: Australia. It's one of the pricier tickets, and I have an aunt, uncle, and cousins living in NSW. Plus, I might even hop over and pay JJ a visit...

Uncle-AJ · 16 February 2009, 11:44 PM

Are the tickets first class?

In that case I'd set off from Manchester UK to Manchester UK. I think I'd get everywhere in doing that.

That is very generous Carolina. I have always fancied China, the Terracotta Army, Great Wall, and Forbidden City. Can you also supply a chef as I do not like Chinese food? Let me know if I win

Alcan · 16 February 2009, 11:51 PM

Great tickets, thanks!

Umm... where am I going and why am I in this hand basket?

Al, you get to choose. Just for fun, of course!

Carolina · 16 February 2009, 11:56 PM

Guys, in case I wasn't clear - this thread is just for fun. The kids have the day off, and I'm just feeling a little silly at the moment!

Had the opportunity to visit Beijing for 2 weeks in 2007. Keep in mind that ONLY thing expensive about China is the plane tickets. Period. When you get there it's almost comical what you can buy with Pounds sterling.

THanks and with the pound the way it is may be the only option

USA!!!

Jimbits76 · 16 February 2009, 11:54 PM

I'd go to South of Atlanta.

There's this lady I met on an internet chat room.

Luckily she is into Rolex watches as well.

She's single as her partner ran off with the pool boy!

Her name is Bubbselina!!

I think she could be the one.

Oh please. If I had the means to visit Australia, how could I not pay you and Sasha a visit??

Carolina · 17 February 2009, 03:40 AM

Guys, I'm feeling generous, and will throw in a hotel stay as well.

abigsecret · 17 February 2009, 04:00 AM

I'd go to Auckland

Need to go give that little Ronan a hug!

Lisa · 17 February 2009, 01:22 AM

I'd go to the UK and tour some castles and say hi to you guys over there. But Carolina, could I please do a side trip to New Zealand and Australia, too?

Hmmm.... think I could get a couple of chimney pots into my carry-on bags?

Hey, come along with me! We can visit the Aussie and NZ folks!

clew84 · 17 February 2009, 01:27 AM

Rome or Paris, hmm.... It's cold there right now, so I will be heading to Rio maybe.

And I'd like the chicken, not the fish.

idk01 · 17 February 2009, 01:30 AM

Come down under :-) we'll even throw a shrimp on the barbie :-) now that's too corny lol sounding like Paul Hogan.

Back on the subject, Castles in the UK and the ancient burial grounds in England and Ireland :-) not to mention a Guinness or two :-), Scotland............. ok I'm packing my bags!

Goodwatch · 17 February 2009, 03:02 AM

Well, this seems like a chance in a lifetime... China or Japan are still high on our list. Does it include hotels as well?

Xenophon · 17 February 2009, 03:06 AM

I'd love to go to the Scott/Amundsen base at the South Pole. As I don't have a family can I go first class ?
