Come fly with me...
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...

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

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. |

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

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. |

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? |

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.

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