Winning alot of money, where should I go?

Question

a month ago I won a big powerball lottery, and am trying too decide where too go for a very long vacation

Answer 1

I suggest back to back cruises. For example, take a cruise across the ATlantic and then another in the Mediterranian. Or, if you don't think you can deal with open ocean that long, Fly to Madrid, Spain, spend a couple nights there seeing the sights, Then take the train to Barcelona, Spain and spend a couple nights and days touring and then take a MEditerranian cruise. That's what we did last year and it was a great vacation.

We cruised on Royal Caribbean's Brillance of The Seas on a 14 day Mediterranian cruise that took us to Nice France; Monaco, Italy (3 stops); Greece (3 stops) and Ephesus, Turkey.

Cruises are one of THE best vacations you can take. Once you are on ship the staff caters to you, its whatever you want. There is something to do all day every day. Each day you will receive in your cabin a "newsletter" listing the time, place and particulars of each event. There are generally shows every evening, one show for those with an early dinner seating and another (same show) for those who eat late. There is always food available. Usually there is a place in ship where you can go get something. Or, you can always just pick up the phone in your cabin and order from the room service menu (food is free). If you want, you can order breakfast room service.

All ships have a casino with slots and table games. They have ATM’s and a purser’s desk where you can cash a check or exchange currency if you need to. There is a tour and activities desk so you can schedule land tours and activities.

Some ships have free morning exercise programs, stretching and walking, etc, and on some you can pay for other things like Spinning. All cruise ships have gyms so you can go workout usually any time from 6:00 AM to late at night. There is usually a walking/running track on one of the decks also. Some ships leave the gym open all night. They call the gyms Spa because they do promote getting pampered with things like wraps and massages with aromatherapy. They will also generally have a beauty salon to do hair and nails.

Ships have movie theaters, generally small but nice, and you can also see movies in your room. There are demonstrations on ship like ice carving, napkin folding and towel folding, cooking demonstrations. Some ships may offer a galley (kitchen) tour or a tout of the bridge.

There are places on ships to play cards and board games and the games are provided. There are cocktail lounges that feature a variety of music. Some have a piano bar with jazz. There is usually a disco that starts after 10:00 PM each night.

Then there is always the pools. Some ships have more than one and the newer ships generally have an indoor pool as well as outdoor ones and all of these have hot hots.

I suggest that you go to the web site for the cruise lines and look at the cabin prices, port stops, the features for the ships and select a cruise that will do what you want to do. Then you may want to talk to an agent and see if they can find what you want. Then decide whether you want to book your self or have an agent do it for you. Since you won taht lottery I suggest a suite, they are more relaxing and fun.

Answer 2

If you haven't done anything of this magnitude before, I would suggest you not try to do everything at once.

If you try to take a 3-6 month vacation, you will probably be tired of travelling well before the time is up. If you take a 3 week vacation, then you will come home, share the memories with your friends, enjoy putting your picture albums together, relax, eat home cooking, and be in a good place to plan your next trip. You will have the three weeks of experience from your prior trip, so you will know first hand about what you enjoy and what you don't.

Then, you will be able to start your next trip with renewed enthusiasm and anticipation.

The world is going to be there. You don't have to do everything all at once.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

Go around the world! Ride the Transsiberian Railroad through Russia, visit a bunch of places in Europe, take a boat across the Atlantic and then tour America!

Answer 4

I read that there's a cruise around the world - the shortest is 80 days, and the longest is about 120 days. That would be a good way to see the world and go away for a while.

Answer 5

There are "World Cruises" of up to 80 days. Get the best suite on a 7-day Caribbean one first to make sure it's your thing. Then take a trip around the world.

Answer 6

Contact a travel agent associated with Virtuoso. They specialize in upscale and unique travel and can recommend destinations and vacation ideas that you won't get from the travel agency on the corner.

Answer 7

Boracay or Palawan in the Philippine Islands. Bali in Indonesia. Monaco. Madrid. Anywhere else you want. (With all that money, you don't need us to help you decide...... You should just hire a travel consultant! (hehe).

Answer 8

Go to space! NASA Will take people up for 20 million dollars, which u probably can afford.

Answer 9

Don't advertise it,but I would recommend you take travelers checks instead of cash. Incase you lose them or get robbed, they can be replaced better than cash.

Answer 10

anywhere but where you are right now. Skys the limit. Stick a mape on the wall and throw a dart at it ......then go
