If you had a ticket to go any place in the next 24 hours, where would you go?
Rules:
it has to be on Earth. You can’t say Mars because there aren’t accomodations yet.
it has to be a real place. I’m sorry, but “Heaven” won’t work.
But the money doesn’t matter. Where would you go, and why?
I’m thinking Alaska. I’d love to see the abandoned mining towns.
This topic must have been done before. But people change and so do answers.
I want to be in Angkor Wat. Or, better yet, the similar temple that they haven’t really excavated and reconstructed, that’s still pretty much how they found Angkor Wat.
Yes! Bucket list!
Angkor Wat is well worth a visit. Been there a couple of times.
Las Vegas comes to mind, as we had to cancel our trip last April. But the wife still cannot get back into Thailand without first having to spend two weeks in quarantine in a government-designated facility, so that’s a possibility too. I was not planning a Thailand trip until at least next year, but the wife thought she’d be visiting her family about now.
Is this one-way, or round trip?
Assuming we’re allowed to ignore Covid, I’d go to London. I’ve always wanted to visit the UK.
Although in the real world, I avoid traveling to my local Walmart.
I want to go downstairs, in front of the open refrigerator.
Yes, I’m lazy.
Rapa Nui. You, me, and the big giant heads.
Wherever there’s good live music - preferably in the rock/classic rock vein, but I’m flexible. Red Rocks is supposed to be a great venue. If that sort of thing isn’t in the spirit of the OP, then maybe Monterey, CA. Steinbeck wrote fondly of it, and I’ve always wanted to visit California.
BTW, it’s, “I’ve got two ticks and a pair of lice . . .don’t you know that they’re parasites. . .” 
I’ll second London, and expand it to pretty much the entire UK. I’ve read so many books that are set in various places in the UK, not to mention locations on TV programs. I’d like to take some walking tours in the country, and some guided walking tours in London and maybe Edinburgh. Cornwall and the south coast. Somewhere that has moors. Fields of heather in Scotland. All the clichés and romantic nonsense. It’s someplace I’ll probably never get to go to, and that I’ve certainly thought a lot about.
Live music => Nashville, where a favorite band lives.
Seafood and ocean coast => Pacific Northwest.
Decisions, decisions.
No question I’d pick Sint Maarten, although they do not want visitors from the US unless they have a negative COVID-19 test dated in a tight window prior to landing. We have a friend who had a late connection delaying their arrival and they were refused entry.
Iceland. A cruise I was on some years back stopped at a couple of ports there and it wasn’t nearly long enough to see everything I wanted to see. It’s on my retirement travel list, if I live long enough and can afford it.
The island of Bali.
Japan. I’d love to see Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Not to mention some pretty countryside including agricultural areas. I love farms.
Are all other existing conditions (esp covid) in play for this?
Same here. A few days in London, then every day spent hiking, followed by pint of the darkest brew the local pub has.
Unless the “pack your bags we leave tonight” is a requirement. If so, I’ll change my answer to where it is summer: New Zealand.
But the chickens? Will no-one explain the chickens? 
Yep.
Expensive, but cool place. Yes, I think we’ll have to ignore covid. I was really thinking of where I’d like to go when it’s possible “again.”
Well played!
Another one on the bucket list.
I think we can ignore covid…it wrecks the fantasy of it if we don’t.
Assuming you’re not whooshing, there’s an Eddie Money song, “Two tickets to paradise.” The title is the misheard lyrics version.
The wind chill here right now is 5 degrees (F), so I’d say Hawaii.
