    Bahamas. Imagine staying at Palmyra; dining at the Cafe Martinique; exploring the Vulcan wreck.

    I'd rather go to Paris in '85 than today, that's for sure. Though the Bahamas in the 60's sounds super Bondian, so I'll prefer that one regardless.

    Not a huge fan of Paris, but I’ve been a couple of times. Never been to the Bahamas. Going from what I’ve seen of them onscreen I’ll go for 60s Bahamas.

    Don't forget a dance at the Kiss Kiss club. But beware of the drum solos.

    Bahamas all the way. Swimming, diving, drinking.

    This is definately not a fair fight. Bahamas.


    Paris is s***t. But that's just my personal opinion.

    Okay another one sided outcome.

    One last one for us

    1963 Istanbul OR 1981 Cortina?

    Istanbul in the 1960s was a mesmerizing crossroads of eras and empires a city balanced between East and West, tradition and modernity. The call to prayer echoed across the Bosphorus as ferries glided between Europe and Asia, carrying a mix of merchants, diplomats, and dreamers. The skyline shimmered with domes and minarets, while new hotels and cafés along Taksim Square hinted at a modern age emerging. It was a time of transformation: bustling bazaars still thrived beneath the scent of spice and tobacco, but the city was looking outward — cosmopolitan, curious, and quietly confident in its timeless allure.

    OR

    By the 1980s, Cortina d’Ampezzo was where alpine charm met Italian sophistication. Nestled in the Dolomites, it had evolved from a postwar ski town into a glamorous retreat for Europe’s elite. The slopes were dotted with colorful ski suits and mirrored sunglasses, while evenings glowed with après-ski cocktails and laughter spilling from chic mountain lodges. Fashion, luxury, and sport intertwined — part winter wonderland, part runway. Beneath it all, the crisp mountain air and breathtaking scenery reminded visitors why Cortina had become known as the “Queen of the Dolomites” — elegant, exhilarating, and endlessly cinematic.

    I hear the ice cream was good in Cortina, while in Istanbul you had to be careful of two way mirrors. Where are you taking Q's time machine?

    Italy always wins. So Cortina d'Ampezzo for me.
