I just did a puzzle and one of the answers was "dream vacation"

if the world was perfect and safe, a tour of the middle east and egypt, visit all the old places and the new or a month or two in Italy

So what is your dream vacation?

Germany, Italy, Japan.

Germany - gotta see Eschborn where my Opa grew up

Italy - where my partner's family is from

Japan - TOKYO POKEMON CENTER!!!!

As a dark joke, my partner and I call this trip "axis abroad" 😬😅

Egypt is amazing if you are an Egyptian who grew up abroad. Difficult to describe honestly.
