I wanted to go to Antarctica in the late 70's early 80's. Tried to get stationed there in the military. People say why, and I say because at the time no one ever went but a very few. Now they have regular boat tours, and the tourists are messing the place up by polluting it. I vote don't go there.
There are some really beautiful places in Africa, away from the strife and the city poverty, and the overrun touristy areas.

I was in Alaska in May 2018. Fantastic trip.

that sounds like fun!

My brother-in-law enjoyed the trip as well as Greenland.

A cruise there would be interesting. I just wouldn't recommend paying a visit to any research stations there....I hear The Thing is still running amok there

Hurry up before it all melts!

I am thinking going back to work in January...… but I don't want to think about it. I am on vacation starting NOW.... let the greatest activity of all begin: Do whatever the hell I want, at least for one week

I was thinking Australia myself..

It's actually pretty hard to get there. Are you serious about it? A few years ago, I applied for a seasonal job there. Didn't get it. Somewhere there's a good documentary about living there. I'll see if I can find a link.

It's balmy at that time of the year. Be sure to take sun screen if you plan on spending much time at the beach.

mongolia.

I had hoped to go to Hawaii in January but that's not going to work out I don't think. I'll keep it in my dreams for now. I need to find a travel companion first I think. My last trip I went alone which was fine but I'd rather have a partner.

Brrr, way too cold. Take your long Johns with you.
