they are both in the southern hemisphere? idek.

So are you ever tempted to empty your accounts, dissolve your retirement, quit your job, sell your child in Sweet Charity (or to fund the VVC scholarship) and pack your laptop to run away to Machu Picchu (which you have now twice called Picchu and kind of want to die?).

So...just me, then?

Okay, how about Cairo?

For me, it's the circus.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I'm scared of clowns.

[cyprinella]

Tierra del Fuego, but yeah.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Oh, good choice!

[sinclair-furie.livejournal.com]

Cairo is most certainly north of the equator. And you'd miss high speed internet and nice grocery stores. :)

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I'd miss the internet, maybe.

*sad* I went to look. I cannot understand why I always assume in my head it's parallel to Brazil, not Florida.

[an-kayoh.livejournal.com]

Machu Picchu? Cairo? I was thinking more Hawaii, or maybe the southern coast of France.

How about this - the writing community little_details has completely given itself over to lolcats for the day. My personal favorite (http://community.livejournal.com/little_details/2257280.html).

Travelzoo keeps sending me deliberately malicious notices of vacations. The bastards.

[cat-77.livejournal.com]

I tried, but no one will buy my kids. Think I'd go to Greece though - possibly for the bacon-wrapped chicken soulvaki alone.

(And it could be worse, you could have called it Pikachu...)

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Bacon.

[mrshamill.livejournal.com]

Too high. Fiji.

Though... Papeete might be nice...

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I saw good Fiji deals.

*longs to run far away*

[aelora.livejournal.com]

A couple times a day, actually. And I don't really care where...

Though, I'm not really a fan of big spiders (or spiders in general, actually). So that rules out a few spots on the planet.

Yes, in fact

[jenna-thorn.livejournal.com]

This morning. Between conference calls.

and it's not even a particularly bad day.

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

Having no job and no child, if I had the money I could quite easily run away - but I have no idea where to...

I'd have said New York, for obvious reasons, only I can't stand cockroaches. And it's not exactly quiet either...

[honoria.livejournal.com]

Not as roachy here as people think, I swear.
And the ones you will have mostly quietly hide in the walls, you can't aeven tell they're there, most times.



...that makes it worse, doesn't it?
*shuts up*

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

St. John. A house boat. a house boy. Yes.

[akacat]

Yeah, except that I usually want to run away to either the rocky mountains, or the south pole.

Also, I would be selling cats and a snake, rather than a child.

[rynia.livejournal.com]

Selling other people's stuff and dissolving the college funds. And Seattle. Or New Zealand. Or possibly somewhere in Canada.

[archaeologist-d.livejournal.com]

LOL. Banff-to-Jasper, Canada for me. Mountains and air so pure it burns.

Or Venice. :DDD

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

Oooh Venice. If I'm ever in trouble with the law, I'm going there. You can hijack a boat (do you see how they tie them up?! With plastic thingies) and even if they know where to look, HA, good luck actually freaking finding it.

[crystalheaven.livejournal.com]

More like all the fantasies I had as a child after reading 'My Side of The Mountain' get a little harder to ignore.

Oh, to live in the woods, away from people, and adopt a raccoon and falcon.

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Constantly.

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

Believe me, it's not just you...I'll take Cairo..or Rome or Venice or Hawaii.

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

I'd go for Bali. I hear the elevation at Machu Picchu is kind of necessitating of the oxygen tank kind.

Also, please take me with you? ::clings::

[amireal.livejournal.com]

I often think of selling OTHER people's stuff. But that is possibly my cross to bear.

[eternallycait.livejournal.com]

Cairo:not a fan :/ Dubai was nice though. It reminded me of being on a tv show set

[shansgrl.livejournal.com]

So, when do we leave?

*hugs*

[synecdochic]

I will often look at Best Beloved and just say "...Umbrella drinks."

Which is in-house code for "I am quitting my life and running away to lounge on a beach somewhere where attractive, scantily-clad women and men will view it as their sole task in life to bring me a constantly-renewing stream of frozen alcoholic drinks in coconut shells with a little umbrella propped up in them."

Wanna come? I'm sure my devoted servants would be willing to include you in their drink-delivering duty.

[lillian13.livejournal.com]

Hm. I'd have to sell the car and most of my stuff, and plan a couple of bank robberies, but I think I could swing it.

But while the Remote Beach is nice, it generally comes with no Internet, no bookstores, Amazon delivery sucks, and every once in a while you get a revolution thrown in for free. No, I'd go with San Francisco. (Two words: no summer.)

But for frozen goodness, Casey's New Orleans Sno-Balls (http://www.yelp.com/biz/caseys-new-orleans-snowballs-austin) is open for the season!

[eleveninches.livejournal.com]

All the time, man. All the time.

[telesilla.livejournal.com]

No one wants to buy two of the laziest cats in existance.

I used to concoct elaborate fantasies about just driving off one day instead of going to work. Just me and my cat driving around the back roads of America. Not so much any more, but then I don't have an awful job (or you know, any job) or an emotionally abusive wife.

I still daydream about Nancy and I winning some ginormous lottery and spending the rest of our lives traveling to all the cool places I've been and all the ones I havn't seen yet.

[tienriu.livejournal.com]

Only every second day.

It's a good thing I don't have a child, am many years from retirement and have just resigned my job =)

On the other hand I did resign my job, pack up everything and headed to London three years ago so really, obviously I don't have much impulse control.
