I'd love to go to Europe one day. Italy, in particular, as well as Greece.

Like someone here once put it, America has it's past, but you have to venture overseas to see real history. I'd love the chance to see the ancient ruins of Rome, Constantinople, Athens, ect. as well as the artwork of those times.
*sigh* Someday.....

True that. Greece would be amazing. I want to go see the pass at Thermopylae, imagine everything that happened there!

My dream road trip would be to travel all across Europe. I really want to visit Germany where my grandpa fought in WW2 and take a lap on the Nürburgring. In Italy I would like to see where my dad's side of the family came to the US from. When I graduate i'm thinking of relocating to Germany for a few years, if I can land a job there for business, just for a change of pace and to experience new things.

My dream trip is ANYWHERE in Canada. I've seen pictures and know people who have been up there and say it's a beautiful and preserved country. I know that our Canadian brothers on this board could probably give us a tour. I would drive, 4wheel, fish, and camp up there. I would also go from Montana to Washington state because that's where my gf used to live and she says it's nice up there with the huge trees, mountains, and plains. I hope to leave soon when I graduate from General Motors in May.

I would like to drive to all of the states and some of Canada. For now, I like exploring different places in my area. There are a lot of back roads and towns that are really interesting to see and there are probably a lot that I do not even know are there. I am thinking about driving this route soon:

New Zealand

I've driven 800km of New Zealand already and loved every centimeter! Give me a really well built Prado, and let me drive the entire length of both the North and South Islands, avoiding as much pavement as possible. That is my idea of a dream trip!

There was a time when I thought about moving to Wellington, New Zealand. One problem is New Zealand law prohibits left-hand drive vehicles. Hopefully they will make the switch to driving on the "correct" err, I mean right side of the road in the next 10 years....

I already made one, which was to Nova Scotia for a surf trip.....next trip which is a dream road trip will be all the way to Newfoundland to visit family and surf

here is a nova scotia pic, beautiful place



going to Costa Rica in a few weeks....but not driving, I love the freedom, release of hitting the road with a tent, backpack, water, beer, food, surfboards, wetsuits, wax, fins and know that I can live out of my truck for a couple weeks and get away from the rat race

I saw that yesterday and had a song come into my head and I couldn't think of it. Well I found it.
Here I am, on the road again... Turn the page - Bob Segar. I don't know why.

I'm in on the trip to Alaska. A caravan of Toyota's would make a great story. Plus the benefits of having friends along would make it even better and safer no less.

I figure 3-4 weeks would be best.

Make a movie about it, like "Endless Summer", I'd love to do it too. I'd just need some serious cash.
