Where would you go, if you had a trillion freq flier miles?

Would you go to the moon somehow?

Or the pyramids of Egypt?


P.S. somewhat unrelated but if anyone would like a ride from Los Angeles to Phoenix in early April, give me a holler.

P.P.S. what's the best oil to grease a new cutting board?

I'd fly to London, England once a year, until I pass away.

I'd fly to the north of Mozambique to visit an aspie friend there as well as the father of anon-verbal autistic boy (both these men were my students), to Scotland to see another aspie friend, to Autscape in England later this year, to Philadelphia to meet my Twitter friend @aspieteach, to Los Angeles to spend a lot of time with @joqatana... basically, a tound-the-world Aspie tour. Oh, and I would also go to Tanzania for the course in the Logical Thinking Process at the end of next month, and I'd use the miles to finance some of my business trips so that we can take the savings as profit; and I might just go to the salt plains of Ethiopia, because I have always wanted to experience the hottest place in thw world. Althouh my legs might explode; I have lymphoedema.

Er, wait... this could be expensive anyway. Could I exchange the remaining miles for a free hotel stay, car hire, per diem... basically, all costs covered?

Say for the sake of argument that you also had a trillion hotels.com and Hertz rewards.

Hotels.com = awesome. Got a free stay in the Beverly Wilshire.

I guess this question is too open ended. My list would probably cover half the earth.

I travel a fair amount for my job. The only thing I don't like is that my legs swell up on the aeroplane. (I go to the back of the plane and do leg exercises for an hour or so, sometimes).

I have sensory issues with airports and air travel in general and I carry two different types of noise cancelling devices. The last time I flew I threw a mini tantrum because they wouldn't let me wear it for take-off. I ended up giving the lead air hostess my shutdown card and then she allowed me to wear it. (Didn't really have a meltdown but I was volatile.)

On the other hand I also LOVE airports because everything looks like a dance space to me, and there are the most wonderful props and things which are nice to dance on, like those belts to make you walk faster, and the buses which take you to the plane, with the bars and support handles... such fun. The trolleys are great too, you can run with them and glide through the air.

I like to travel because I get to see places where tourists wouldn't normally go.

Oh, and it I had all those air miles, I would visit my brother in Australia too.

I'd travel to Germany to visit my fellow Burtonite pen-pal that I met on Facebook.

(Burtonite = fan of Tim Burton)

I'd go on a tour across Europe, and then make excursions to Beijing and Tokyo.

Sell the miles on eBay for cash.

I'd head up to the moon just to see what our planet really looks like from there.

Back to earth, I'd head straight for Mongolia for a few days in the Gobi desert.

Straight over to Iceland and hang out in a thermal pool, sipping Vodka and tripping on the 24 hours of daylight (this all happens in the Northern Summer)

I'm then heading for Galapagos, where I might stay for quite a while.

Off to Madagascar to enjoy the scenery.

Finally head to Dubai for a desert safari for a few days. I could then blow some hard earned money on some wonderful Bordeaux wine in the new 'Duty Free' wine store inside Dubai airport, which allegedly is the biggest in the world!

Then home, to my favorite Italian restraurant with my wife, to enjoy one of the bottles of red or perhaps....................a nice Chianti.......

Well I dont know if I need frequent flyer miles, but I'd like to go walkabout, maybe in Europe or America. Just go have a look and see whats around.

To the Moon, Alice...to the Moon.
