We were talking about this yesterday in the office so I thought I would ask you peeps. If money was no object and you had to choose any 3 cities in the world to travel to, where would they be and why.
Mine are

1. New York, Ive allways wanted to go especially around Christmas time
2. Toyko, Nice to see what the future is like, plus Tokyo National Museum etc.
3. Las Vegas, cheesy and tacky I know but I assume since money was no object i would have plenty to gamble with, Vegas baby!

[Dony]

1. New York - same reason as daveaka

2. Kuala Lumpur (SP?) - heard it's the place to buy toys!!

3. Aukland - one day I'll visit new Zealand!!


I'm sure I could come up with others if I gave it some thought.

[Woodywizz]

Yep New York for me too, as well as Sydney and Tokyo.

Vinyl Toys?

Anyway, (no order)

1. Tokyo (for trainers, cityscape, clothing, toys, and lifestyle)

2. Amsterdam (because I havn't been, I want to go for obvious reasons)

3. Rio de Janerio (because I went to Brazil once (Natal) and it was awesome, so I want to visit the capital)

Those are my 3 too. Been to Vegas pretty much every year since '94 - I go again on the 28th. Can't wait!

[Decadence]

Las Vegas - For the all out bonkers parties, and fantastic weather...and experiences of a lifetime, hire a Ferrari 360 and drive out to the Hoover Dam.

New York - For the food.

Shanghai - China is awesome and this is the most awesome place in China. (Hong Kong came very close to being the 3rd, just for the view over Kowloon bay at night)..

Better get a move on.....I heard that they are planning to introduce the smoking ban next year ........unless that's not the reason you want to go

A couple of years ago I did that trip in a hired Hummer.....will go for the Ferrari if I ever go back.

[mjn]

Hong Kong - Martial Arts

Rio - For the women

Toyko - Technology.

Already been to New York, Barcelona, Paris, etc

[Duncan G]

Sidney, Australia.

Paris, France.

New York, New York.

Mind you, I would have to get a passport as I have never had one.

I think the european union intervened and said they had to ban it completely or not all..... contravenes human rights or something?

Id like to go to Tokyo, Reykjavik and Shanghai (am going there next easter )

The best cities ive been to so far are Barcelona, Bruges, and Krakow

[Simon_143]

Sydney
Tokyo
Rio de Janerio

I have been very lucky and visted a lot of the worlds great cities, if I can get to the above 3, it will be the icing on the cake

[Scholes18]

and in no particular order.ahem

sydney

san francisco


auckland

[CFC1]

Was thinking 'bout taking Mrs CFC (and CFC2 & CFC3) to N.Y. for a few days next May for her "milestone" birthday! I will most probably book flights seperately, but considering there are so many hotels seemingly battling for my dough, I can't believe the prices! ... I've been having a look around tonight, and am staring at a £grand for anything half decent for 5 nights!
Am I now such a seasoned Ebeneezer, that I've lost track of proper hotel prices, or is this really the going rate?

Oh yeah... Sydney and Tokyo also!

[itsamac]

Mine would be (in no order)

Kyoto - it is such a beautiful place with lots of history and character
Hong Kong - I just love the place
Honolulu - I know they are stuck in a time warp but its such a great place to relax..

You business class and the rest of the family economy??

For me it would be NYC at the top all the time, not matter how many times I go, nightlife, cheap stuff and of course Giants and Yankees .

Sydney, no matter how much I take the mick I cant help but like Aussies, and Machu Picchu, just looks amazing!, would be the others.

Crikey! ... would certainly reduce the stress levels ... would need a free upgrade though!

[RMCF]

Well the one that I haven't been to, and still really want to see, is New York.

But I think that I have probably seen the other 2 main cities that I wanted to see: Rome and Havana. And neither disappointed - both fantastic.

To be honest I have never really had any great inkling to see the likes of Tokyo, Sydney, Auckland, Vegas, San Fran.

[dennis]

went to barcelona about 15 years ago,what a beutiful city!,would love to go back there.

[KAZER]

Here my 3 in no particular order,

Sydney - just looks so great (Am going this December )

Tokyo - to see what the future brings, boys toys etc

Havana - cigars, low riders and all the rest

KAZER

[anna the dub]

San Francisco - because I have been there before and am planning on going again next year.

Tokyo - I find the Japanese an interesting people. The dichotomy of their culture is fascinating, on the one hand they are steeped in culture and tradition, with politeness, manners and humility respected by all, on the other they have a history of violent upheaval and casual brutality (the recent horrifying and sickening 'cull' of dolphins being a good example). Would love to visit there.

New York - one of the places to visit.

[27neth]

Well i have just got back about 5 hours ago from Singapore, Hong-Kong and Bankok
My top 3 would be NewYork, Vancouver, Bankok.

John.

[Fred Quimby]

1. New York........for everything

2. Quebec...........the smartest cleanest most stylish place I have ever seen. If you try to speak a little French the locals are quite friendly.


3. Niagra On the Lake not to be mistaken with the Falls I could retire here for life.
