If you could transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go?
The key to this question, for me, is “at this moment.” With autumn in full swing and the chill of winter not far behind, I think I’d like to escape somewhere warm. And, while I’ll never have the opportunity to instantly transport myself again, I might as well take advantage and go someplace I’ll likely never get to again.
I think I’d like to go to an island in the South Pacific. Wendy has always wanted to go to one of those places where the doors on your suite open up right on to the beach and you can walk from your room to the ocean (the question didn’t specify, but I’m going to pretend it’s like a port key in Harry Potter, I’m insisting on grabbing Wendy when I’m instantly transported and taking her with me). I think a place like Fiji would be nice. Wendy and I sleep each night with a sound machine making the sound of ocean waves breaking on the shore. How cool would it be to sleep to the sounds of the actual ocean outside our room? And, eating a fabulous meal on the porch like in this picture?
How about you? Where would you want to be transported?
Being that I live in a desert climate and now it’s getting to be our nice time of the year, this makes me have to think a little deeper. I think during our triple digit weather during our summers I’d like to go to The Alps 🙂
I think I would like to go to Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. I have heard Africa is beautiful. I have never been! (Also, if I get beamed there, how about top of Mt. Everest? I don’t think I will ever climb it!)
I had a friend in college from Zimbabwe. Claudius would show me pictures of Victoria Falls and talk about how beautiful it was. That’s a good one.
As far as Everest goes, I think I wouldn’t even want to endure the cold and wind of the summit without it being the satisfying end of the climb. I can live without Everest on my bucket list!
I have taken your invitation to do my own 30 day challenge with the questions you provided. Of course, I live near convenient access to a beach, so my answer was a little different than yours.
