The Best Fictional Vacation Spots

There are times when life gets hard, and you just need to get away for a time. While most people head off to Hawaii or their grandmother's house, I sometimes wish I could go to somewhere a bit different. So, without further ado....

*trumpets sound*

-Ashley's List of Best Fictional Vacation Spots-


Hogwarts: Though it's a bit drafty, it comes with an endless feast at your arrival, a free cloak, and a whole bunch of Hufflepuffs to play pranks on and scoff at to your heart's content. (Bonus: That dude who plays Edward Cullen is in there, so you can FINALLY drop-kick him down the stairs or give him a swirly. Whichever you prefer.) The room-service is also fantastic: little house-elves will bring you whatever you want and will clean your room, all while singing a happy little working song.

Jurassic Park: Nothing like being in a tropical location, traipsing through a jungle full of exotic wildlife. And of course by "wildlife", I mean "extremely cranky and bloodthirsty dinosaurs". Sure, it's dangerous, but that's part of the charm. Pack plenty of sunscreen, a granola bar or two, and something to beat up those pesky raptors. BTW: How awesome was the pterodactyl scene in Jurassic Park 3? The answer: Extremely.

Narnia: I shouldn't even have to explain this one, so I'll spend little time on it. Narnia is the coolest place I've ever heard of. Frolicking around with big gentle lions and badgers? Bliss. Also, Peter and Prince Caspian are extremely attractive. The only tricky thing about it is you have to find the right closet to get in. Happy hunting!

100 Acre Wood: Where Christopher Robin plays. (Note: This is the forest from either the book or the original movie of Winnie the Pooh...not from the sequels or crappy W.t.P. tv shows.) It's full of happy, giggling, innocent little animals that you can easily subject to your will and then become their king. Plus, I hear the honey there is to die for.

Middle Earth: You'll want to spend most of your time at the Shire here. The elves in Rivendell are snobbish, and the orcs over in Mordor won't exactly leave little chocolates on your pillow. The home of the hobbits, however, is full of little (and I mean LITTLE) people with furry feet who enjoy dance parties and ale. Can't go wrong there.

Mushroom Kingdom: Don't even try to tell me you haven't wanted to go here once in your lifetime. First of all, there are gold coins everywhere that you just have to run around and grab. You can collect thousands of dollars with every step you take! This is a wonderful place to just run amok; stomping on turtles and saving princesses.
