Florida does NOT appeal in the slightest!

California?

I have been to California (San Fransisco, San Diego, LA, etc...).

I would really like to do a US road trip one day, but now isn't really the time as my last two holidays have been to the US so i need something a bit different.
 
New Zealand tbh (no bias here...).

I've friends taking a holiday here at the mo. £800 for flights, £800 for 2 week campervan hire. They picked up the van and have just been going where-ever takes their fancy for the last 10 days. So far that's included, chilling in the hot pools, whale watching, surfing, bungy jumps, a glacier hike and plenty of scenic driving. I got a txt last night saying they're swimming with Dolphins in Otago today...

Wish I could afford to do all that in a fortnight :(
 
I just got back from 25 days in Thailand and I had one of the best holidays I've ever had. A fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone :D
 
Go on Safari in Africa, Sandboarding in Namibia, travel around Cuba, visit Brazil and go kitesurfing apparently you can go to Antarctica for 2k!

Sounds like you need to do something different - why people mention the same old locations I have no idea!
 
Thailand, Laos, Myanmar

2 months, inc. flights.
Best scenery in the world. So much to do. Hot. I'm in love with it all.

Yes i really am looking for something that's a bit different. I am trying to get as much travelling and adventure in as i can, before i settle down and buy a house.

My easy way out option is Australia (+Fiji maybe), but i am after further ideas... South America interests me, though i don't know that much about it as a travel destination.
 
Of course there is - but in a theoretical world, if those three were some of the finest places on earth, does it really matter that many people have seen them, and therefore recommend them?
 
Laos is amazing. Fiji is paradise, just like you see on postcards. Thailand really good. Personally i didnt think too much of new zealand, once you've seen a few days of mountains and lakes they kind of become boring. Same goes for temples in thailand

For £2000 you could have any holiday you like, granted not stupidly expensive hotels but for the money you can do a liveaboard dive boat in australia on the reef with levels up to dive master certification, spend months in thailand, do all of the east coast of australia, fly into bangkok and do thailand, laos, vietnam and cambodia then malasia...
 
You can do a multistop flight with Qantas and the last one I priced up was Newcastle-London-Hongkong-Sydney-Cairns-Bangkok-London-Newcastle for £900

That is the same trip I did in 2006 with 3 days in HK, 3 in Cairns, 10 in Sydney and 3 in Bangkok

or you could just get a return from bangkok and travel all of SE asia. I think staying 3 days in 3 bankok is pointless. You can travel to so many other places from there for so little
