Val (Zebedee) Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 In the UK, we're hurtling towards Winter. It's going dark earlier (about 4.30pm at the moment), as I sit & type it is bucketing down with rain, it's cold & miserable, we have the heating on ..... but where would you rather be? I know it's still cold etc but I would love to see the Northern Lights. It is so beautiful in the photos you see. Have any of you been lucky enough to witness this amazing event? Or would you prefer to be somewhere hot, like the Bahamas or somewhere else exotic? If money was no object, where in the world would you rather be?

BlueWolf Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I know it's still cold etc but I would love to see the Northern Lights. It is so beautiful in the photos you see. Have any of you been lucky enough to witness this amazing event? I haven't seen the northern lights yet, but have seen the opposite: The midnight sun. It's kind of weird and mesmerising. This photo was taking at exactly 1am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I've seen the northern lights, its magical. They usually aren't supposed to appear this far south, but a few or so years ago they did...the result of a strong sunflare. If I were to go anywhere, I'd like to see more of Canada. I've already been out east, so I guess out west is where I would like to go. Go see the Rockies, go up to the Yukon during the summer...

Andy Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Somewhere warm and sunkissed. I don't like lying there getting a sun tan, but I do like feeling the sun soak into my bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelniki Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have always wanted to see the northern lights, I would love to go to Canada or New Zealand. I would love to go see polar bears and pandas in the wild. But my face place of all - the place I'd rather be is wherever my hubby and husky are.

sarahjng Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 If I was taking the furries, up north to play in the snow, always wanted to see Canada, if it's just the humans, discovery cove in Florida, we went a few years ago and to swim with the rays was amazing ! ( we swam with the dolphins as well, surprisingly the rays were better ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'd love to explore Indonesia the mountains, the waterfalls, the world-famous underwater coral garden... maybe visiting Komodo Island too if I have guts Indo's a beautiful country, but if I have to choose one place to spend the rest of my life in, I'd choose Japan. Their culture is a portrait of a perfect world in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Like always, I have a story ... I've traveled east to west and back on almost every major road in the US, so when I was going out to visit my grandfather in northern Oregon one time I took the trans-canada highway from northern New York to somewhere in the Rockie Mountains. Shortly after I'd gotten into Canada and on the highway, I picked up an older hitchhiker (er, this was in the 80's). He was originally from eastern Europe, spoke several different languages, worked as a cook in the lumber camps, had lived and worked in Canada for many years (don't remember off hand how long, but quite a while - had stories like you wouldn't believe!) and was heading back into the woods. As we were heading west (and a bit north), the sun was going down, it was getting colder and I kept jacking the heat up in the car. Full dark and I started seeing the lights ... couldn't have described them, just beautiful. The later it got, the brighter they were (and the less attention I was paying to the road - which thankfully was mostly straight!) We finally made it around a curve, I dodged a logging truck and my companion suggested that it might be just a bit safer to stop if I really wanted to look at the lights! What I finally saw looked like this When I pulled into North Bay, ON - the temperature had dropped into the single digits (let's say -15c); we stopped at an old hotel (sharing expenses) got out of the warm car, got right back in and grabbed our jackets! But to answer the original question. I'd probably like to go to anyplace in Southeast Asia. I loved the country while I was there, loved the people I had the opportunity to meet and most of all loved the weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
