Just overheard on radio... is that really a question? Because money is exactly the 'object' in my life... it's just useless to go anywhere all alone...

I would first go to Colorado to get over my issues with altitude sickness, then I would go to Machu Picchu in Peru, and take that narrow gauge railroad on the way up, if it still exists.

It's not the money or lack of it that's the problem. It's having to take a plane to go anywhere good. I've never been on a plane and I know I won't enjoy it at all, and then I'll be spending the rest of the trip dreading the flight back home. I also worry about getting poisoned by whatever food I eat in a different country. It happened to my dad once. It took several weeks after coming for him to recover. :(

A few years ago I suffered an anxiety attack just being on a ferry for about an hour. How could I handle a plane?

My mom and my aunt are planning to take a trip down to Florida soon. Last week I mentioned that doesn't Florida get a lot of hurricanes this time of year? She told me she wasn't sure, but don't put any stress on her or anything (sacasm). And I just told her I'm just a little concerned, that's all. I am kind of bothered that she'll be where Disney World is, even though nowadays I worry the sensory overload, heat and crowds would ruin my getting to see Mickey Mouse.

Somewhere in Africa, I guess.

Shoot a lion. Post a picture of me eating lion steaks on a FakeBook group titled "Autistic and disabled hunters for the conservation of African wildlife".

Laugh a lot.

Airports cause as much stress as you relieve on a vacation. No. I have had terrible experiences on planes and airports alike. Sitting next to a wing, screaming children, drunk people and top that all off with being depressed and you never want to go on vacation ever again.

The gold coast of Queensland, Australia, although I would have to brake up the flights along the way as I don't think I would be able to tolerate 20+ hour nonstops from the US and back. If money were "no object", it would definatly be first-class tickets. Once there, I wouldn't mind taking a train down to Sydney and Melbourne, with private compartment accomodations.

I'd LOVE to go-back to Britain! I STILL, to-this-day, get a craving for the pizza I had, in Wales!

Venice. I would enjoy the beautiful scenery, and try the food there, as well.

The Gold Coast is massively overrated. It's too busy on the beaches, and it's just typical suburbs otherwise. Up north is the best for nice empty beaches (you just keep on driving along the coastline till you find one). Sunshine is better, but still busy.

The cities suck, other than being relatively peaceful for large urban areas (too busy and nothing to see but man made jungles and people).

I guess I'm a downer (I don't like anywhere populated), though.

It should be any place that is civilized to some extent e.g.
A wifi zone(most important),
A room with a door I can close myself in, with a toilet/a bed/a bathroom.
A fridge filled with some cans of beer/ a lot of favorite snacks.

I'll spend happy holiday with these basic setting wherever it is, but these luxury must be impossible without money.
So I suppose I have to stay home.
