    Honestly I wanna do an expedition to the North Pole and see the sun do weird shit. Then treck to the South Pole so I can see the sun do weird shit but backwards. Like I know that sun is a weird freak when it doesn’t think you’re looking, that’s why it does it at the poles. Then along the way from North to south I’ll tell people how weird the sun is, and they’ll have to believe me because I’ve been there, and they’ll have to say “damn the sun is weird”. Sun’s going to be so embarrassed when everyone finds out how weird it is.

    That or like go to Cancun or something. Anywhere that I can keep track of the sun that twisted freak you aren’t fooling me.

      Damn we have similar goals but different reasons. I want to have been on all continents and I am obsessed with going to Antarctica. If I had the money, I would want to stand on the planet’s axis. And have the whole world actually revolve around me. Doing this on the North Pole too would be great, but it’s not a continent and therefore has second place.

      And now, can you elaborate the weird stuff the sun does at the poles? Besides polar night and polar day?

    I’d like to see Japan deeply. I’d go all the way across the country and make sure to stay at rural spots along the way to enjoy the stillness between cities.

    A tour through the Nordic countries.

    I’ve only ever seen Sweden from the highway from Malmö to Stockholm to get to a boat to Estonia in time, and only saw bits of the harbor in Helsinki during that trip. I’d love to take more time to explore Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.

    Alpha Centauri system. I’d keep spending money until we got a working fusion reactor and Alcubierre Drive, open source the designs, and go check that shit out.

    There’s a place out in Washington State called Dirtfish. They call it a “rally school”. For a bunch of money they’ll give you a kickass Subaru and let you tear around a dirt track for a few days. Looks awesome.

    Earth.

    Like, the whole fucking thing more or less.

    Might take me the rest of my life and I still won’t see it all, but if money is no object…

    Amtrak does the train equivalent of a cruise liner, where you spend about half a month on a sleeper car travelling all over America. It’s cheaper than an actual cruise line, and more importantly I think trains are cool.

    Edit: forgot about the unlimited money. I guess I would pay to replace all the rails in north america first so I have a smooth ride the whole time.

      I’m assuming you’re talking about the All American, as that’s the main one I could find. About fifteen days, and $2400. Which is about as much as a three to five day cruise, depending on cruiseline.

        Looks like you’re staying at pretty nice hotels in places like SF, NYC and LA. It looks like it’s all included, which isn’t bad at all.

        That sounds awesome, and isn’t that terribly expensive, honestly. My wife and I went on a similar route road trip for our honeymoon a few years ago and it was in that same ballpark of cost, between car rental, hotels, and other expenses.

          It looks like you’ll still be needing to pay for hotels for the nights you aren’t traveling. Still, not bad especially since you don’t have to deal with the hassle of driving. You just get on the train, sleep, and just appear at the next location.
