Somewhere tropical, that won't mind if we smoke some weed on the beach. Jamaica comes to mind, but I'd research options because I'd like to see the other side of the Atlantic.

There was a knitting cruise I looked at before. Took you around Europe and had events to spin your own yarn and there would be workshops with masters. I think I would do that.
This sounds amazing!
Sailboat, Caribbean, and all the food and sunsets in between as long as I can make it last. Maybe I'll end it by heading straight at a hurricane, or maybe I'll just try my luck at getting to Europe. It would be amazing to get to Gibraltar under sail from the Caribbean.
I'd like to go back to Fuzhou, but geopolitical tensions are making international travel less viable by the day.
Somewhere remote that already has a well-established bartering system. Most of the usual tourist places would be a disaster if there was no such thing as money.
I'd book a trip on a tall ship. I found one a while back called the Bark Europa. It's one of the few ships that goes to Tristan da Cunha, the most remote civilization in the world.
Its already expensive ($10,000+) and even more expensive if you want to go to the arctic. Unfortunately, I have celiacs, so the only way I'd be able to do it, is if I paid a stupid amount of money.
Looking at the Bahamas sometime this year, but my wife needs to secure the time off first. :(
Lake Meade, Pennsylvania
it's already booked, though, family reunion.
Iceland
The Moon.
Failing that, Low Earth Orbit.
If money is NO object then I’d buy the US government and make the US visitor friendly. I mean I’d really like to see the pained desert, New Orleans, New York, New England in the fall, hell there’s heaps of the US I’d like to visit and it seams to me that you can buy the US government for a couple of hundred billions.
Royal Caribbean cruise on an Icon, Quantum, or Oasis class ship (to the Caribbean, of course).
I don't care how much Lemmy hates cruise ships, nothing beats waking up to a different view out of your balcony every morning. Not to mention the unlimited gourmet food. You could eat a dozen lobster tails in a single sitting if you wanted to.
Iceland. My kid took a geology class and was excited about Iceland. This is actually college: he never got his passport so I said, “sure I’ll take you if you apply for your passport”
I'd like to see Japan deeply. I'd go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.
Vietnam looks nice.
It'd be cool to walk about Mars for an afternoon. Maybe find that rover (Opportunity?) that ran out of power & give it a fresh battery & clean off its solar panels, see if it'll fire back up again.

Canada. Somewhere.
Definitely take a boat ride to visit Taiwan at least once before any shit potentially goes down in Asia and war breaks out.
Hell, if it broke out while I was over there, it'd make things easier for me in a way, since I'd be more than willing to help Taiwan in the event of a war by doing whatever the hell they need me to as a civilian who couldn't join the army due to my health. Wouldn't have to be working on helping them from far away, but rather on ground.
No where lol. I like my home area.
Italy, Japan, or some place with beautiful mountains.
But money is a thing, so i'm not going anywhere.
The Sun.
The fuckin moon, and it's not even close. Get me off this rock
I handle this, as do most poor people, by not asking ourselves this question, not even fantasizing about it, for why torture yourself with something you never can do?
Money and time no object? I would do a tour of the Pacific islands on a 110 Wally sailboat complete with crew so I get to do the fun stuff like helming and none of the boring stuff I don't feel like doing that day. Would hit at a minimum Galapagos, Tahiti, Fiji, New Caledonia and on down to the Sundays in Australia. Would take about 6 months although I could spend a lifetime there.
If I was time limited to two weeks? Sailing in the Bahamas in a Outreamer cat, these are as large as I can safely handle with my partner and its a lot lot shallower than the Wally so I get to explore far more of the Bahamas. Shorter holidays I want less flight time, so direct like this is perfect.
