If I gave you$5000 to travel.

[Incogneeto]

Where would you go??

[YoDoug]

I would look for the most tropical place I could find with nice 5-6' waves to do a little surfing and some relaxation time for me and the wife.

If the wife wasn't going I would look at going to one of these BJJ camps. https://www.grapplersretreat.com/

Kauai or anywhere similar.

[mkd]

First one that says "back to your mom" gets $50 microbucks

[CNCAppsJames]

Fiji or Tahiti. 

@RobertELee you'll love Kauai. 

[mowens]

I'm not sure how far $5000 would take you.

My daughter lives in a small town on Puget Sound that's beautiful. It would probably pay a couple months rent.

[Jim at Gentex]

Gimmie the cash and I'll think about it. 

[RobertELee]

Fiji or Tahiti.

@RobertELee you'll love Kauai.

Been there, my favorite of the Hawaiian Islands and every place I've ever been so far, minus the Boundary Waters. Still need to get to the Big island, Lanai, and Molokai however, so my opinion is subject to change.

Poland. Would love to bring my wife to see where she was born. Of course things do need to settle down a little bit.

I'd put in another $5000 and go to Thailand and Indonesia for 3 or 4 weeks.

my favorite as well but last time to hawaii the karens were abundant, cant do this cant do that. that state needs to get their politics out of it and realize tourism is there bread and butter.

What's hilarious... haole vititors get ALL the blame for EVERYTHING there. Some of it is warranted. However, in the middle of the Scamdemic it was THE LOCALS trashing the place WORSE than the visiting haoles would ever consider doing. Polihale, Ke' e... trash, vandalism, theft, etc... all perpetrated by locals. The newspaper shined a HUGE light on it. Shut some people up... for a minute anyway.

My wife and I have been there 9x. Probably spent... all told between 3 and 4 months or so of our married life there. We have always been respectful of the locals, "their" spots and have only gone to locals only places when invited (and we have been on a number of occasions). Always leaving wherever we went better than it was when we got there. The locals bitch about the tourists, then bitch when places close down because there's not enough people to keep them open. Our favorite restaurant closed; Ono Family Restaurant in Kapaa... the owner said he just couldn't afford to keep it open anymore in the local paper. Mind you, we'd been going there for 25+ years. It was a sad day for us when we found out it closed. Even worse for the people we knew that worked there... some were there the 1st time we were there... We always signed the guest book. We looked back and found the 1st one we signed in 1994 last time we were there (2019). We never imagined that would be the last time we'd eat there.

Hawaiians... they need to figure out what they want and accept whatever costs come along with it. Their politics are WORSE than Kommieforniastan.

[CADCAM396]

I agree. they are just ham stringing themselves over control..... JMHO..
It is gourgious there. dont want to discourage.

[CNCAppsJames]

We still love it there. We're going in May. No restrictions that we know of.

[TSmcam]

You like tropical?

Aitutaki... my wife heard about, and we went there a couple of years ago.

A tropical lagoon, surrounded by uninhabited motus, some that you can paddleboard or kayak to. We spent the day on an island and had it all to ourselves.
