Top 3 Places You’ll Never Be

There are dream vacations and DREAM vacations. Most dream vacations? You could accomplish with a little hard work, visualization and pure luck. DREAM vacations, however, are reached by having a vivid imagination, a lot of time in bed and a strong short-term memory recall. (I mean, you may have dreamt about being in some location, only to forget it upon waking up.)

Atlantis – The legendary (and mythical) sunken continent. Francis Bacon wrote a novel entitled, “The New Atlantis,” that described it as a utopian society. Hey, it may not exist, but what would be cooler than hanging out with sea creatures 24/7? Where life’s a perpetual underwater party? (Yes, I’m thinking of Spongebob right about now.) Odds? 9,000,003:1.

Gilligan’s Island – Before the supernatural horrors / twists of Lost, there was Gilligan’s Island. If a vacation was: hanging out with your best bud(skipper), geeky friend(professor), snooty parents(millionaire, and his wife), and two hotties (ginger and mary anne) then life would be a blast! Unfortunately, in as much as travel agencies have created a means to get to far-off islands, the privacy just isn’t there, plus, they don’t have coconut-radios.Odds? 5,000,000:1. (Applying to Survivor might do the trick? But then you’re up against other applicants.)

Outerspace – My mind just keeps wandering off sometimes. Dreams of living in anti-gravity boggle me — would I have to strap myself when I go to bed? Or would I be waking up by the neighbor’s yard from some outer space somnambulism? Unfortunately, we haven’t made advances in science that far off yet — and most unfortunately, none of us might be around by the time this is possible. Odds? 3,000,000:1. (Go NASA!)
