This week's poll:

Suppose you need to go on a vacation. You step into a 24th century travel office and you see many different Travel brochures for the following destinations:

A) Q'ono'S
B) Bajor
C) Betazed
D) Rubicun III (TNG: Justice)
E) Ferenginar
F) Cardassia
G) Romulus
H) Trill
I) Some Crackpot put in a travel brochure for the Founders Homeworld
J) Vulcan
K) Lunar penal colony in which you never die (DS9)
L) Risa
M) Any others that I may have missed.

Of course, the obvious question would be: Which Destination would you choose?

Please do not put any Delta Quadrant destinations. Of course, we don't have good access to that part of space, yet.

Well if i had to chose from the list above it would have to be Bajor. I would really like to see all the shrines and temples to the prophets first hand.

My second choice would without question be Risa , who wouldent love to spend a vacation in paradise

My first choice would be Bajor also, because I've heard about how the oceans on the planet look green.

My next choice would have been Trill since I like anything purple.

Hm... Normally, I'd think Rubicun III would be the best choice, if it weren't for that whole "Stay Off the Flowers or DIE!" philosophy they've got going.

I might have said Bajor, except that everyone there seems to be either a farmer or a monk.

I guess I'd have to go w/ Risa. Maybe I'd have some of the women from Rubicun brought along... ;-)

I loved that line about Bajor having greenish-blue oceans and Trill having Purplish-blue oceans!

Risa is of course a favourable destination - but...

Romulas would be very cool... the culture - the history... the soup!

Oh and BTW - if no GQ destinations - the founders homeworld and that planet where you never die are both in the Gamma Quadrant.

Posted by Montgomery (Member # 23) on :

Well, I'd like to see Vulcan. And another intersting place would be that terraformed planet that guy Seyetek from "Second Sight" was so proud of; Blue Horizon, I think it was called, (the one with giant waterfalls).

Hell, a more fun holiday might be just to go to Spacedock and wander round starship spotting! (Drool )

But if i could only have one holiday, I suppose it would simply have to be Risa. I mean, seeing the wonders of 24th century lifestyles across a quadrant is all well and good, but Risa means free and uninhibited sex with as many of the local women as you can find time for inbetween naps and snacks!

What can compete with that?

Er, Andrew? Tahna said no DQ destinations, not GQ.

Although it's horribly unoriginal, I'd go to Risa. Monty summed it up pretty well: lust, gluttony, and sloth! If I had to pick someplace else, it would be Trill, for no really convincing reason.

Posted by Diane (Member # 53) on :

Risa would be my first choice. Bajor seems nice, too, from what Sisko says.

And I'm sure Ferenginar wouldn't be bad if you've got enough latinum.

Betazed & Risa

Betazed? Bah! I don't need everyone knowing what I'm thinking... :-)

TSN: Especially not if all the Betazed women look like Deanna Troi!!

Trill and Bajor both seem very historical and have a lot of ancient ruins and things that would be great to check out.

But Risa, come on!! Everyone else has pretty much said it all. I'd go look up Vanessa Williams and grab me a couple of Hor'Gons!

I'll do with 24th century Earth. See what's changed, and go to San Fransisco and see the Academy, go to Paris to see Yaresh Inyo's humble place. I only hope they have cars somewhere, not like the place Sisko's dad lived (only horses)

I guess its the only planet with mixed cultures
(Qonos - just warriors, Bajor - just monks, Vulcan - just logic, Ferenginar - just merchants, Founders Homeworld - just liquid people: "hey, don't step in me, ^$*& solid!")

ok ok ok so everybody pretty much says Risa for obvious reasons, sex sex sex, and more sex. I'm all for the sex, but I'd love to have sex with a trill, I just love spots, so if there are any trills on risa it'd be perfect, I'd take her along on an archeological dig.
