If you won a $25k Vacation to one location, Where would you Go & Why?

[NowandThenTreasures]

I would seriously appreciate some input and ideas for a week trip to one location.
My wife prefers a beach location which is just fine by me and my MD.

Not really a metal detecting vacation but I went on a business trip to Japan a couple of years ago and it blew my mind. So cool to see a different culture and so many people and almost no litter anywhere I traveled. I had never been out of the country before though... I think Switzerland (Zurich) would be high on my list as well. I have been watching Bald and Bankrupt on Youtube and he makes awesome videos but I would probably be a hard pass on India and Russia.

I would go to the UK or a place with some real history that allows detecting.

Here in the united states its hard to get things older than the 150 years old...Europe goes back 1000's of years!

If it's only for a week and you really have $25k to blow, then down under it is for me.

I would think Fiji or Bora Bora if it were my wife and I.

My pick would be as close as I could get to here.With Lots of 'protection' https://www.geologyforinvestors.com/largest-gold-deposit-world-witwatersrand-gold-fields/
Why ? 2 Billion ounces recovered so far.

Somewhere that looked like this.

I think I would like to return to northern Europe, England, Scotland, Ireland. Lands of my ancestors. Then Russia, the country that MY country hates so much. I think they are probably OK people, too.

 

[DiamondDan]

Japan for sure.

 

[bowwinkles]

I would just go to bed and wake up well rested and then go to the bank.

China

Would have to agree with Switzerland and Bora Bora, just got back from Puerto Vallarta and its is beautiful, would go back again.

Iceland. So many hot springs. So little time to soak. Good fishing and the best lamb I have ever had.

For detecting England to go with crusader
Otherwise a warm beach

Great pic & Thanks for all the great ideas. Due to our schedules the trip will likely be in the fall or winter months here, which would make it spring or summer in the southern hemisphere. I like the idea of Australia or a South Pacific island but I am not having much luck talking my wife into a long flight and I can understand her point of a long 15+ hour flight to detract from an otherwise great vacation. I have also heard good things about the Maldives as well as Turks & Caicos, I may have negotiate a max flight time with my wife and work from there. It's a big trip and I appreciate all your positive input.

If you plan to vacation at a salt water beach, think about using some of that $25K and get a better detector for that venue.
