    A tour through the Nordic countries.

    I’ve only ever seen Sweden from the highway from Malmö to Stockholm to get to a boat to Estonia in time, and only saw bits of the harbor in Helsinki during that trip. I’d love to take more time to explore Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

      Fly to Frankfurt for fairly cheap. Take the train to Munich and the train to Vienna from there and attend at least a few. Get a cheaper “stay” in the outer districts that are still connected via train. Check if there is offers on “Groupon” for it potentially. Could probably make it with 2k/2.5k

    Alpha Centauri system. I’d keep spending money until we got a working fusion reactor and Alcubierre Drive and go check that shit out.

    Well if money is no object then a world tour that lasts the rest of my life, thanks (or if I can use this magic purse on behalf of others instead, stay home and buy up all the world’s debt, sponsor a jubilee year.)

    Earth.

    Like, the whole fucking thing more or less.

    Might take me the rest of my life and I still won’t see it all, but if money is no object…

    There’s a place out in Washington State called Dirtfish. They call it a “rally school”. For a bunch of money they’ll give you a kickass Subaru and let you tear around a dirt track for a few days. Looks awesome.

    Amtrak does the train equivalent of a cruise liner, where you spend about half a month on a sleeper car travelling all over America. It’s cheaper than an actual cruise line, and more importantly I think trains are cool.

    Edit: forgot about the unlimited money. I guess I would pay to replace all the rails in north america first so I have a smooth ride the whole time.

      I’m assuming you’re talking about the All American, as that’s the main one I could find. About fifteen days, and $2400. Which is about as much as a three to five day cruise, depending on cruiseline.

        Looks like you’re staying at pretty nice hotels in places like SF, NYC and LA. It looks like it’s all included, which isn’t bad at all.

        That sounds awesome, and isn’t that terribly expensive, honestly. My wife and I went on a similar route road trip for our honeymoon a few years ago and it was in that same ballpark of cost, between car rental, hotels, and other expenses.

          It looks like you’ll still be needing to pay for hotels for the nights you aren’t traveling. Still, not bad especially since you don’t have to deal with the hassle of driving. You just get on the train, sleep, and just appear at the next location.

    I’d donate alot to my local makerspace then take unpaid leave for a good while and just make things. If I had to travel i would probably go to Germany to see a few friends, it’s been too long.

    Money is no object?

    Alpha Centauri. Build a spacious and comfortable Orion Drive ship for me and a few thousand of my best friends to go on a nice long trip.

    I would love to visit New Zealand. I’m a canuk and I hear they are like a better weather version of my country…I’ve also never met a kiwi that wasn’t a stand up person.

      If money were no object, I’d book a permanent vacation to New Zealand. But a vacation into the Sun has a certain appeal too.

      e: love your username btw
