I would like to know more about the places they lived and the history of their lives and times, within the setting of the environment in which they lived. <br /><br />Judy BatesJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682643993613745836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-31999429135232209802010-02-13T05:17:03.225-08:002010-02-13T05:17:03.225-08:00At this point in my life, my imaginary significant...At this point in my life, my imaginary significant other and I would love to go to Europe! There are so many countries in Europe that are so romantic, beautiful, and "old," filled with so much history! Just being in the midst of all the beautiful buildings, mountains, water, hearing all the accents, and well just walking on green grass would be heavenly. <br /><br />Some of the countries that would be amazing to be in are Ireland and Scotland - wow, all the green and fresh air. A wonderful, refreshing change from Tianjin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16133146531698552452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-35830587315824123352010-02-12T15:36:45.181-08:002010-02-12T15:36:45.181-08:00My husband and I would go to Italy, because that’s...My husband and I would go to Italy, because that’s pretty much the farthest you can get from Mesquite before you start coming back. And because they have beautiful, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, art and architecture. And did I mention the gelato? :)Krista Van Dolzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830193414560232842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-24560108721154824682010-02-10T06:18:49.029-08:002010-02-10T06:18:49.029-08:00(This is from the OTHER half of P&K)
I would ...(This is from the OTHER half of P&K)<br /><br />I would love to take my bride on a tour through the Holy Land. Is this because Israel is an amazing experience for a Bible-believing person? <br /><br />It is...but, nope.<br /><br />Is this because everyone should visit the Holy Land, once to understand the rich historical and cultural value that it gives to the world?<br /><br />That's pretty good, but again, nope!<br /><br />Is it because this is where Jesus walked, and we can gain a more full vision of what his life and times were like if we stand in some of the places that He stood?<br /><br />That is a very good reason, also, but still: nope.<br /><br />The true reasons that I want to take my bride to Israel are (drumroll, please!) chocolate and the Dead Sea. <br /><br />You may not be aware of this, but Israelis are absolutely obsessed with chocolate. And not just any chocolate...amazing good, rich chocolate in many, many different forms. They seem to take their chocolate as serious as they take things, like say, national security, and if if you love chocolate as much as my wife does that is a very, very good thing.<br /><br />Oh, and the Dead Sea. It is not only amazingly cool because if its unique place in the world as a scientific phenomenon, but it also provides some of the best spa and skin care products that exist on the face of the earth. The one time I visited, I hoarded all of the free samples in the hotels that we stayed at (and I was a 22 year old guy, what does that tell you? All I can say is that they actually made a difference!) and I know my wife would just flat revel in the pampering she (and her skin) would get in and around the Dead Sea.<br /><br />So, spa treatment and chocolate lovin' ... maybe if we had extra time, we do some of that other stuff, too.p&khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891973360373520359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-75408523484011942942010-02-09T08:18:13.317-08:002010-02-09T08:18:13.317-08:00Well, fly me to the moon!

I've dreamed of visiting the moon since I was a little girl, and my equally crazy husband would be happy to accompany me! I'd be busy collecting moon rocks for our daughter's rock collection and taking photos of the Apollo landing sites, while my husband would be pulling a few Evel Knievels with the abandoned lunar rovers still on the moon. A couple of hammocks strung up in the LM may not be the most romantic of accommodations, but it would be a trip to remember! Not to mention the astrophotography opportunities!<br /><br />There you go, the dream vacation for a couple of absolute geeks! Might be a little odd, but, WOW, would it ever be spectacular!Teishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655844015779830955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-91740779870628975552010-02-09T01:03:03.320-08:002010-02-09T01:03:03.320-08:00An anniversary trip that we'd love to take one...An anniversary trip that we'd love to take one of these years is to a picturesque-mountain-hot-springs-village-resort somewhere in Japan. <a href="http://www.e-onsen.co.jp/roomtype.html" rel="nofollow">Like this.</a> The kind of resort where you walk around the premises wearing only your yukata (a kimono-like robe) and slippers, where accompanying kids (I really love them, immensely, I do! Just. not. this. trip.) are frowned upon, where full course Japanese fare served in your room is considered "basic" service, where all there is to do all day is sleep, eat, and bathe in your private-garden-springs-tub . . .<br /><br />Or walk around the picturesque landscape in just your yukata, of course.<br /><br />Still saving for this trip, however. Let me know if you hear of another contest with bigger prizes. The all-expense-paid-round-trip-type. ;)p&khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891973360373520359noreply@blogger.com
