Why limit oneself to just one vacation after winning that much money? When I win any magnitude of jackpot, I would take a yearlong vacation in which I would step foot on every continent and rack up over a million frequent flyer miles. No sir, I will not spend a single night on a cruise ship...potential for too many bad things to go wrong, plus I hate cruising. Why would anyone want to be packed like sardines with some who do not practice good personal hygiene? How else can hundreds come down ill with Norovirus and other food borne illnesses on those cruise ships? No thank you.

Old School- the topic says " first vacation". I could have said Europe, but l wanted to be more specific Sherlock.l have always wanted to visit the Island- who knows on the flight back to the States we could do a detour and head to New Zealand, Tahiti & who knows where. There is a method to my madness.

You claim you're in his head,

Please don't misrepresent what I really wrote. He's the one always writing about "getting in one's head", not me. Get with the program before you are also added to the list of idiots.

A course in reading comprehension would serve you well. I quoted your post so I could point to it and say I agree, but I was quite clearly addressing noise-gate, NOT you.

What's that you say Maud?- coming unhinged?- right. Stick to embroidery, you don't know the history of this thread, and take your horse with you.Bye.

Thank you for proving my point. The men in the white coats will be there shortly.

That used to be me. I've learned you can't argue with most of 'em and all I'm doing is wasting my time and frustrating myself. I can usually ignore them now, but once in a while I still get caught up in it.

I don't have a horse in this race, but he's right, noisy. You claim you're in his head, but it's obvious he's in yours. Frankly, you're coming unhinged. Take a few steps back and breathe.

My appologies. I misread what you wrote. I'm the idiot because I was half in the bag when I read it. lol

I don't have a reading comprehension problem when I'm sober. lol

There is a method to my madness.

I get you, but there is a difference between "first vacation" and "first place you will go on vacation". Explanation: one could take a first vacation to Haiti and DR, but the first place you plan to go on vacation would be either Haiti or DR. Now for those who say who would want to go to Haiti on vacation...stay there with that thinking because all of Haiti is not a basket case.

Similarly, one could take a first vacation that encompasses several different countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda to visit the various national parks and museums, but the first place you might go on such a vacation would be Kenya, for example. Kapeesh?!!!

But to play along nicely, the first place I would go on vacation would be to Kenya...first class all the way on KLM. In fact, KLM, Air France, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, and South African Airlines would get lots of my premium business. TAP would only get my business when I visit Cape Verde. My passport will get quite the workout!

Get MONEY!!! Winning a JACKPOT lottery is one MIRACLE I desire for 2019!!! NOW come to my subconscious mind you 6 winning numbers!

Been there Artist

Many Moons Ago

Went up to the second level , quite a view

Was gonna go on all the way up , but there was a line to get on the elevator to go the rest of the way to the top , and I was young and impatient back then , so came on down

Enormous Structure I remember I stood under one leg of it and looked up Huge !!!!!!

Went on to Luxembourg and Belgium ( beautiful flowers and gardens and water and bridges )

Beautiful Places

Thanks for the picture , brought back a lot of memories

Astek, I am jealous!!! Never been there. I want to buy (if I win $100 million plus net) one of those apartments where the Eiffel tower is so close, it is almost in your living room! lol I love the flickering lights at night. When there was some scaffolding up recently for the Washington Monument, they had lighting on it like the Eiffel tower. Was sad to see it come down.
