Where would you prefer to be if $ were no object

[stollen]

and nuclear war was inevitable within a week's time because Trump was threatening to release a "big event" (no, Musk, Jordan, Biggs, Graham and Thomas, not THAT kind of "snuff" party. So sorry to disappoint, assholes).

Me: a posh hotel in Paris with my husband and dog

[EarthFirst]

2. Phish concert...

One more for the road I suppose.

[PJMcK]

3. We're in Panama overlooking the Pacific

It’s pretty close to paradise.

Paris is nice, too.

[NewHendoLib]

4. Right where I am.

[Kaleva]

7. Same with me

[DURHAM D]

5. The Highlands - Scotland. nt

[buzzycrumbhunger]

8. Highlands and islands for me.

Granddad came from Orkney and I'd love to go--and never come back.

Would do Canada in a pinch, but it'd take a long ng time to acclimate to winters after this long in Florida...

[stollen]

13. In the Highlands now

Decided on a trip to Europe to spend retirement funds a month after Trump's inauguration and the threat to either get on board or prepare for violence. It's been "drech" in the US ever since Jan 20, 2025, so I think we called it. At least my bp is way down, and one couldn't be in a lovelier environment with such friendly people.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

24. Ye gods...

I wonder if I’m too old to troll for a BF to move me there for my happy ever after… Should’ve started younger.

And yeah, the overall kindness is what put Canada up on my list, too. The US is seriously lacking that—or the endless doomscrolling is just getting to me. *sigh*

[stollen]

28. I've always wanted to visit New Scotland

If you have mobility, you’re not too old.

[Metaphorical]

22. Definitely Scotland

We live in the Pacific Northwest, which is very close to the Scottish climate, and for many of us, the PNW (or Cascadia as we increasingly think of it) is Scotland West, as anyone who has ever visited Victoria BC can attest.

I'm actually doing more and more remote work in England and Scotland. We could go back to Vancouver or Victoria (we were up there about fifteen years ago) given my wife has Canadian ancestry; we have family here now who are getting old which keeps is settled here, but the thought of moving once they're gone is still very much there.

[stollen]

29. Tomorrow we're checking on renting a camper van VW

to tour the northern peninsula and west coast. We�ve brought our own camper over before but didn�t make it far north. What I most like about Scotland are the people. In other countries, like Germany, small things can be a bureaucratic pain in the ass. I want to hear the Doric language in remote areas.

BTW N Scotland has good roads and little traffic.

[sinkingfeeling]

6. If I wanted to survive nuclear war, and I don't, I'd be on a ship to Antarctica.

[Faux pas]

9. Right where i am now...

in the middle of the forest in western Washington state

[redstatebluegirl]

10. Here in my little house with my hubby and dogs.

[ecstatic]

11. a beach house/hotel somewhere with a beautiful view of the ocean and easy beach access

All the amenities of course - a chef and driver too.

Last week on Earth? That would really suck because it's so unnecessary. Greedy, warmongering assholes refuse to get along and/or just let others be.

[canetoad]

12. I live very close

To where Ava Gardiner said, "It's a perfect place to shoot a movie about the end of the world" in 'On the Beach'. Down here in SE Aust. is about as safe a place as you can get and it's a good place to live too. I wouldn't pick anywhere else.

[stollen]

14. Been there "done that"

to the best of my ability with time constraints. The birds. Loved the colorful birds.

[liberaltrucker]

15. Canada or New Zealand

I'm way too old to learn another language.

[Jacson6]

16. I would own a 2 bedroom house in a rural area and have a nice wading pool to relax in. n/t

[stollen]

17. Nice! With a beer cooler?

I said posh Paris hotel because most of the city's rooms are postage stamps. I evacuated with my dog, and now I want comfort for my pet as well!

[Jacson6]

18. No, I'm a diabetic. I will have a quarter of a shot of vodka once in a while. Beer will put me in the hosp. n/t

[delisen]

19. Anywhere that neighbors are high on empathy and using their intelligence

[stollen]

20. I've often said

I’d be technically worthless in the event of such a disaster. That’s why Paris works for me. Outdoor cafe, nursing my aperitif for the time remaining, complete r&r, literally useless.

[surfered]

21. Hawaii

[ProudMNDemocrat]

23. New Zealand.

Already spent a month in Australia.

But I could spend more time there as well. Planning to renew my Passport the first part of April.

[usedtobedemgurl]

25. Wherever the Epstein files are.

Everything could not have been destroyed. It might be the only thing to bring them all down. I have an unlimited supply if money, XL invites would be extended to you all. Talk about a big event!

[Tim S]

26. Summer-Fall in Missoula / Winter-Spring in Key West

[Jack Valentino]

27. Tahiti ---- or New Zealand

[CTyankee]

30. I'm with you on the Paris hotel idea. I might split the time there with travels to Italy, esp. Florence

to be among the greatest art ever created in the western world.

[stollen]

33. A Paris suite with a rooftop view of incoming

Perfect for a last day on earth.

But Florence has jaw-dropping Brunelleschi architecture to admire before the strike, not to mention the best gelato.

[CTyankee]

36. Yep. They told Brunelleschi he couldn't do that dome of the Duomo. He said "watch me!"

[stollen]

37. I will net why he had to fight the idea.

What a masterpiece.

[Bettie]

31. With my husband and kids

and our various animals, that's really all I need.

[kwolf68]

32. A place that does not exist...

Somewhere where I don't remember the name Donald Trump.

[stollen]

34. Just when many of us were thankful

that we hadn’t experienced WWII as that anniversary approaches.

[WarGamer]

35. Right where I am now... a suburb 30-40 minutes NW of Los Angeles
