So tell me, where would you go and why?

For me, Europe!! :cheer2: :cheer2: I've always wanted to visit London, Spain, Italy, and France and that's exactly what I would do in that order! :p

Of course in returning to the US after my 120 day tour....gotta spend 30 days in each country..... :rolleyes: ....I would then visit Disney and stay at the AKL for 8 days and 7 nights, have spa treatments every day, would visit Cirque, have dinner at a few of the REAL FANCY restaurants, and just really enjoy Disney like I never have before.

So, how about you?

LET THE MAGIC LIVE ON!!!

DENISE
 
We would buy a huge, deluxe RV, new custom golf clubs, and become full time RV'ers hitting all the courses we've always wanted to try, until we get bored of it :D
 
After paying off all the bills, mortgage, car payments... I would move to Orlando, buy some land and build a house. And while my house is buing built, I'll live in every WDW resort for a week each except WL which I'll get a 2 bedroom villa at VWL and stay there for a month or more.
 
I would love to go to Australia and go to the Australia Zoo, and with my new found wealth try to make an appointment to meet Steve Irwin and his wife Terri. I would hopefully be able to buy a special pass for them, personally, to give me a behind the scenes tour of their zoo and to meet all the people that work there. As you can see I am a fan of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin and his wife Terri. I think they look like fabulous people that have a trun genuine interest in taking care and saving animals and meeting them would be a wonderful experience.
 

Pay off the mortgage, DH's Jeep and any other outstanding debt first. Then give a certain amount (depending on the jackpot) to each of our families (immediate family members only, no cousins, aunts, uncles, etc).

I'd quit my job, it's thankless anyhow and why would I want to continue to work for a thankless employer (BOE). I'd get a fun little part time job (to keep me from being bored at home, which I'd be in about 1 month without working) maybe at Wal-Mart or something similar.

We'd vacation at least 2 times a year, one being WDW. Staying at the deluxe resorts without worrying about saving up money to do it. While at WDW we'd eat dinner out (not just grab and go) and basically just live it up!

Ok . . .now back to reality . . .:sad:
 
We would go on a tour of the good 'ol USA. This is something that my kids and I have talked about. Of course after that it would a "world" tour of the Disney Parks.
 
How much $$ are we talking? If it's more than 10 mil...I would buy DH his hunting property and build a big log cabin (with a dishwasher!!) and then go on a long vacation. I would also donate a large chunk to lymphoma research since my mom is a lymphoma patient. Gosh, I cannot imagine what I would do with all that dough. I would not be hard to spend I must say!

After paying off the house, the only major bill we have.
I would like to visit England, Ireland, and Australia(Don't know if my DH would go with me though). I would send my mom and sister on a cruise, they have always wanted to go on a cruise.(My dad would never go :( )
Than I would like to spend a month or longer at Disney. :hyper:
 
Finsh college, ensure my godsons had enough to finish theres. Pay off my mothers home and set her up for life. Then travel, take a friend with me to new places till I found my Prince Charming. Then travel the world with him. Ahh the life.
 
After paying off all the bills, and quiting our jobs, we'd spend the summer at WDW living at the various resort - concierge level - of course!

oops - better ad that we would naturally give to our church and local charities. I'm sure that all of our dead beat relatives would also want something too :rolleyes:
 
Buy a house here on Cape Cod....buy a really nice condo or a small house in Lake Beuna Vista, FL. (a quick 5 min. drive to Epcot!), a BMW convertible(for down south), a brand new Lexus SUV(for up North), lots of new clothes, new furniture and do some investing....pay off DD's college bills....travel....the list could be endless.....but 1st I quit being a waitress!!!
Oh...I wish!
 
I would book a land/sea Disney trip. I always tell my kids that I'd be on the phone to Disney so fast they wouldn't know what hit them.
 
How much?

If it were a lot of money the very first thing I would do is make a hefty contribution to St. Jude Children's Hospital.. Probably some other charities as well, but St. Jude would be my first priority..

I would give all of "our" children (DH's & mine combined - and yes, even the ones I have problems with) a certain amount of money..

I would put a nice chunk of money aside for my granddaughter..

I would put some aside for ourselves..

Then I think I would buy a BIG Victorian mansion somewhere and then the "kids" could come and live with ME - or not - LOL..

I would also buy a traveling oxygen concentrator for my DH (can run off a car battery as well as electricity) and an RV and hit the road.. Goes without saying that Disney World would be on our list of "must do's"..

I would NOT change my "shopping" habits - would still look for the best bargains and still shop in garage sales.. I believe I was born with something referred to as the "cheapskate gene"... LOL

Yeah that... that all sounds good to me!
 
Nice dreaming here. I would pay off all our debt, quit my job, and go to WDW. I think DH would like to buy a new home with all the things we want in a home that we forgot to get in this home and make it bigger than this one. Oh, I wish that could happen!
 
The lottery is at 70 million or something like that here. :eek:

I would pay off all of our bills first of all. I would buy lots of furniture and a new truck for DH.

Then I would travel to Spain, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Switzerland. I would take two cruises, one along the Norwegian coast and one in the Greek Isles. I would also return to California and explore that state from one end to another and then take a quick trip to Hawaii.

I wouldn't just travel, I would also donate big hunks to a few charities and causes close to my heart and I'd pay bills for a few close family members. This part feels like the best. :)
 
Go to WDW. lol Pay off loans, give some to family, give some to charity, build a bigger house on a great piece of land somewhere close to water. Enjoy life with no more money concerns!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wouldn't that be fabulous.....
 
First I would go to the bank and put away $$ for the kids' college. Then I would pay all our debts. THEN I would book one of the Disney CA cruises next year!
If I got sick of Disney (:crazy: ) I would love to go to England and see Stratford, London, Westminster Abbey, St. Pauls, etc. because I teach British Lit. and really want to see these places for myself. Possibly Ireland after that, or Paris. There honestly are not a lot of overseas places I want to see. Maybe Australia.
I would also give $$ to church, the Humane Society and the Cancer society.
