If you could spend New Years Eve any city in the world, including the US. where would it be? Mine would be Paris.

[debm55]

[OLDMDDEM]

1. Bowie, Maryland. It's home.

[debm55]

15. Thank you OLDMDDEM, we stay at home too. Paris is my wish. Will I get there. no. But a girl can wish.

[electric_blue68]

18. That's what Lottery tickets are for! 👍

[elleng]

29. HEY, OLDMDDEM! NEIGHBOR!!!

(Lusby)

I'd stay here/home (UNLESS could be in Britain, Italy, or France with my daughter!)

[OLDMDDEM]

37. Our son and his wife live in Lusby on Hilltop.

[elleng]

74. Neat!

I'm ON the river, off Turner.

[MiHale]

2. Hale, Michigan...

Even hardcore alcoholics stay home and let the amateurs have the night. Speaking from experience.

[debm55]

14. We used to go out and party. when we first got married. Now it's stay at home. Don't want to be on the roads.at night.

[debm55]

38. True, Thank you MiHale. I agree. When we did go out it was in the afternoon.

[Mike Nelson]

3. NYC

... as a former New Yorker, I never did the Times Square thing - always thought it would be too crowded. Now, I regret that... it would be cool, well COLD, too! I did do the Rose Parade sleep over in CA.

[debm55]

13. Thank you Mike Nelson. NYC sounds great at Times Square. I went their for Christmas and I loved it. Girlfriends daughter

marched when Penn State was in the Rose Bowl and marched in the parade. They did the sleep over in CA.

[Mike Nelson]

16. I should clarify...

... our "sleep over" here is when we go the night before and sleep on Colorado Boulevard! Another thing we did was get a good parking place and sleep over in the car. I used to go to Colorado Bl every Sunday and shop around. "Old Town Pasadena" will be setting up the stands and roadblocks about now...

[debm55]

39. Thank you Mike Nelson.

[electric_blue68]

19. Glad you liked my city!

[debm55]

40. I did very much. However, I got Shingles on my one side of face.

[electric_blue68]

86. Oh, my goodness. How, terrible!

[electric_blue68]

24. Born & Bred NYC'r. When I was about ?12, and friend and I wanted to do that

when we were older. Never did.

It's OK by me. I've been to so many amazing events in NYC. Well, not since covid.

But did get to the New York Botanical Garden this past summer after 4 yrs not going.

[debm55]

41. That sounds wounderful.

[electric_blue68]

87. It is! So is the Brooklyn Botanical Gadden which I lived about 10 blocks from...

for about 9 yrs. I visited it several times a year in the Spring & Summer.

[3catwoman3]

82. A friend of mine who lives in a small town in Pennsylvania did the Times...

...Square thing once, said, "NEVER AGAIN!"

Hour in line, no food, no place to pee. She said it totally wasn't worth it, at least not for her.

[surfered]

4. Paris is my wife's favorite city in the world and Notre Dame has reopened

She lives vicariously thru Emily in Paris on Netflix

[CurtEastPoint]

6. Ditto! And Emily is such schlock but I love it. Because... Paris!

[surfered]

17. Exactly! The sights....

[debm55]

12. Thank you surfered. I would love Paris too, but it is here for us.

[debm55]

42. Thank you surfered.

[Paladin]

5. Paris, for sure. (nt)

[debm55]

[mdmc]

80. Standing On The Moon

Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven
At this crescent in the sky

[debm55]

83. Thank you mdmc.

[Different Drummer]

21. Pasadena, CA.

I watch the Tournament of Roses Parade on television every New Year's Day, but I would love to see it in person. It's on my bucket list, but I doubt I'll ever achieve it.

[debm55]

44. My girlfriend's daughter marched for Penn State when they where in the Rose Bowl. They went to watch. We were in charge

of taping it.

[True Dough]

22. It would have to be

Podunk!

[debm55]

45. HAHAHAHAHAH.. Thank you True Dough.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Trick Question

Between 1977 & 2007, my bands played NYE 28.
Another 2, the band wasn't together long enough to ve gigging and/or have an NYE date booked. So, the band through a party where we played.
So, I've long been New Tear's Eved out.
But, if I was actually going to do NYE & could go anywhere because I'm guessing in would be fun it would be: Sydney, London, or Naples.

[debm55]

46. Thank you ProfessorGAC. London would be nice too..

[electric_blue68]

25. If someone paid for me... maybe Hawaii!

1] Never been there, would love to visit. Though which island?!

2] only once have I been in a very warm place when it was cold here in NYC.
A gifted vacation to Puerto Rico in
earlyish March about ?20+ yrs back. . It suddenly got down to close to single digits ?windchill, not sure, or straight cold up here, while it was 85° down there.

And since PR has close ties w NYC the San Juan News Channel showed a reporter in NYC in a seriously hooded coat reporting on the cold w map.

[debm55]

47. Wow electric_blue68. You were very lucky.

[electric_blue68]

85. Ty. While not as widely traveled as some I've been to have money previously to go places, and had very surprised 2 gift

vacations later in life after my income was rather lower.

[Abolishinist]

26. Kiritimati Island, might as well be the 1st to celebrate!

The first place to celebrate New Year's is Kiritimati Island, also known as Christmas Island, which is part of the Republic of Kiribati. Kiribati is located in the Pacific Ocean, east of the International Date Line.

Kiribati is the first to celebrate New Year's because of its location in the world's farthest forward time zone, which is 19 hours ahead of New York City. For example, when Kiritimati celebrates New Year's Day at midnight, it's still 5 AM EST in New York City.

[debm55]

48. Thank you very much for the information. I didn't know that.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Venice.

I'd sit in a cafe on the Piazza San Marco and drink Prosecco.

[debm55]

49. That sounds absolutely wonderful. Thank you greatauntoftriplets.

[ZDU]

28. Berlin

[debm55]

[LogDog75]

32. London

I spent New Year’s Eve in London in 1994. Stayed in the area around Trafalgar Square with thousands of others. You hear about how rowdy the Brits get but it was quite peaceful and people were having fun.

[debm55]

57. Thank you very much, LogDog75

[KitFox]

33. Collon in County Louth Ireland

My ancestors came from there and I have always wanted to go to Ireland and see where my great grandparents lived, visit the church where they were baptized and married and then tour the rest of the country. What a dream it would be to ring in the new year listening to a session at an Irish pub! Happy New Year Deb! I hope Paris is in your future!

[debm55]

58. Thank you very much KitFox. I hope Ireland is in your future.

[LeftInTX]

34. Right where I am, but preferably in a high rise downtown! Maybe one of my friends will invite me to his place!

It's crazy, but fun! And it's all ILLEGAL!!

No place like home!!!!!

[debm55]

59. Thank you LeftinTX. That is what I was going to ask --is it public or just neighbors shooting them of.

[Niagara]

35. I love visiting New Orleans but I'd rather visit during Halloween season 🎃

For New Years Eve, I'd rather be in a quiet town or village in the Adirondacks.


Staying in a log cabin, going antiquing, hiking, taking in the scenery.

[debm55]

61. Thank you Niagara. That is more my style too.

[catbyte]

36. My living room on the Lansing/E. Lansing, MI border. I can't stand crowds.

I used to want to be on Maui for New Year's Eve until I actually spent New Year's Eve on Maui. I didn't realize that it was louder than the 4th of July. There's something to be said about being in a place that's usually too cold for outside fuckery.

[debm55]

62. Thank you catbyte. I always hope it rains on New Years Eve. I like it quite.

[Bluethroughu]

51. Ottawa, Canada or Eidenborugh, Scotland

[debm55]

63. Thank you Bluethoughu. both beautiful destinations.

[Bluethroughu]

75. I hope you had a peaceful Christmas.

[debm55]

88. I did until my Mother called to thank me for the card and money and told me it is Jesus' birthday not her's

[debm55]

67. Thank you very much, Joinfortmill.

[TBF]

68. I'd love to be in a posh hotel overlooking Times Square (NYC) for the ball drop -

have never done that

We visited Paris last year in January and were treated to snow! I did enjoy the city, lots to see even in winter, and without the crowds.

[debm55]

70. That would be terrific. Thank you TBF.

[TexLaProgressive]

69. Ardfield, Count Cork, ROi

With relatives- it where I left my heart.

[debm55]

72. Thank you TexLaProgressive. That would be a very wonderful New Years with the relatves.

I've spent hours just walking around the city. So much to see.

[debm55]

73. Thank you Solly Mack. That sounds like a very enjoyable trip

[LakeArenal]

77. Bruges, Belgium.

I’d love to spend Christmas in Bruges.

[debm55]

[CountAllVotes]

78. Donegal, Ireland

I went there for three weeks in 2006 and I never wanted to leave!

[debm55]

81. Thank you CountAllVotes. We went there too, Loved it. Only place I have visited in Europe. Still look at my pictures and

miss it.

[CountAllVotes]

84. Did you visit the castle when you were in Donegal town?

My ancestors built that castle I'll have you know!

[debm55]

89. We stayed at a castle that was a bread and breakfast. Thank you for sharing that information with us. CountAllVotes

[BOSSHOG]

90. New Orleans

Although most nights in New Orleans are New Years Eveish. Great place to Let the Good Times Roll.

[debm55]

93. Thank you BOSSHOG, I knew it was going to be New Orleans

[Aristus]

91. Berlin, Germany.

Because Berlin is a party town! 🎉

[debm55]

[Emile]

95. Corfu City, Greece.

[debm55]

97. Thank you Emile, Greece is wonderful

[NNadir]

96. I used to be a regular at the Hotel Bolderado in the 1990's. They apparently have a New Year's Eve thing.

It's in Boulder, Colorado.

I always wanted to go to it, alone with my wife, but never did. It's a beautiful old hotel.

It's on my bucket list I guess, although I'm not sure I'll ever actually do it.

It seems to fall through the cracks, and now America itself is cracking up. When Trump does Ukraine with Mexico, Mexico may take back what it lost in 1846.

We're doing Washington DC this year for New Years to say goodbye to the United States.

[debm55]

98. Thank you NNadir. That is very interesting
