Hogwarts. If I run away it would have to be in my mind and Hogwarts would sure be an interesting experience.

I did run to,
1]Liverpool England, cause I am huge reds fan(read: a fan of Liverpool Football Club)

2]Porto Algre, Brazil.Since I have almost finished learning Portuguese(brasilian) that is one place I would love to try.Its way safer than Rio, more cleaner and prettier and every other girl there is like a gorgeous angel(one of my mates actually went there and he was dazed by the amount of female beauty he witnessed there)

3]Frasier Islands Australia:-Heaven on Earth.

Special Mention goes to my village Vengurla, which is half hour away from Goa(an otherwise famous tourist destination here in India).Vengurla is untouched esp its beach with its lovely white sand and crystal clear water.A sort of a beach which is completely opposite to the dump of the beaches here in Mumbai, India.

I don't know the exact place. I think just of some dreamland. A place which would be beyond the imagination of people.

Everywhere.

Somedays I want to go to India. Others I want to go to Argentina. Or the French countryside. Scottish highlands. The Amalfi coast, Italy. Thailand.

I'd love to run away to Ireland. Move to Dublin and live above a Pub and become the elusive writer that sits in the pubs and shops and writes all day.

That is what i would love to do.

I personally would go east, like Boston, New York, and New England area. Then I would jump onto a ship and see all the sights of Europe! :)

anybody else?
For pleasure? France. And I would drag Dee with me. We're both so absolutely in love with France and everything French that would have to be number one. Ireland's number two for me. I would love to go to India. I'm super obsessed with everything Indian. But if I went i doubt I would leave.
Then I would either go to Antarctica to help with penguins and all of the other cutesy animals or Africa to help with animals/ children.

Ive always wanted to go to the British Isles.

I ran away once when I was 7. Where we lived was near the railroad track and Im not sure how it came about but I went with a track repair crew down the tracks for quite a ways. We went to some house, had a nice dinner then they took me back home. I was gone a good part of the day, and in the meantime my folks were frantic. They had the cops, the neighbors out looking for me. My dad threw me in the car and told me we are going to the police station and you will go to jail for 20 years. He said they would chain me to a wall and feed me bread and water and rats would nibble my toes. I bawled and howled, but when we got to the police station Dad just went in and told them I was found. I never ran away again.

Would love to meet up with you and Dee someday, I just know you would be the last one on the dancefloor, Laci :lol:
Plus Ireland has some great places to see, and a trip to the pub for a few is essential, hope you make it here one day. Is Dee even still around, she is quiet on the forums lately.

For me it has to be Northern Italy .... lovely people, beautiful climate, fabulous food and loads of georgous vino. But the real reason is because the best holiday I ever had was in the vicinity of Lake Garda, Heavenly!

It's not where you run to, it's who you run with that makes Heaven on Earth IMHO :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wouldn't run anywhere, I already live in one of the most beautiful, historic countries in the world, of which I have really seen a small percentage of, and like Fran said, it's who you are with that can make the difference.
One country I would like to visit is Japan.

@Mike she's having problems with her internet connection so she hasn't been on lately. But she's just as well and crazy as usual. I'll say hi from the forums for all of you. :)

And yes I AM GOING TO IRELAND DAMMIT. may take awhile. But I will be there. Dee and I are planning an escape after christmas. Ireland's definitely a contender on where we're planning on going.

Well if you get here there will be a nice Guiness waiting for you, and a dance floor, come on Laci, you look a mad sort when the music gets going, Fran can only manage a one minute bop :wink:
