I'm a jaded trader who wants a holiday from the drudgery of selling modules and the hell-hole called Jita. So I'm leaving the kids home alone and going on a road trip to low-sec and 0.0.
I want to see things I've never seen before, hit ctrl-F9 and take some nice holiday snapshots. I don't care how many times I'm podded, I just want to get the hell out of care bear space and experience something new. My dream is to get a snapshot of a Titan, but locations with interesting monuments or old wrecks would be fine, whatever!
Any suggestions?

Thanks for some excellent suggestions so far. The more I get, the longer my holiday:) Does anyone know a specific system with a titan wreck?

Well the road trip has begun. First stop was the Eve gate which was pretty, but sadly I could not find a way through. Ctrl-F9 gets rid of the cans for snapshots which is very handy. I was not challenged or attacked once through the 10 or so low sec systems, but found 3 frozen corpses for souvenirs.
I'm very excited by the thought of a titan wreck so next trip is a 55 jump journey to C9N-CC. There seems to be a lot of 0.0 systems on the way, so hopefully I'll find a mothership or carrier to pose next to for some happy snaps. Thanks for all the sightseeing tips so far.

I cheated to get to the EVE gate, used dev powers to transport me there to check it out. I'm a bad person... 
If you used your dev powers to let me through to the other side, I would never tell. Or maybe we could have a picnic in Jove space? Let me know:)

Can you use your super powers to take me there too?
No.

We have these people working in something called Internal Affairs and they would most likely throw me in the bay if I did that.
So disappointing that power has not corrupted as it should, no hard feelings:) I sense a few invitations here might lead to a podding, I look forward to maybe meeting some of you.

Head down to the triangle below Paye, the task insterlation is there. Also head to Ned, trisot, and there was another one up there, but the vast amount of low sec make that a little difficult unless your in a quick ship. But since the npc's left it isn't as fun.
I like the sound of this Cpt Farnham, we'll see how my shuttle stands up to a little harrasment. Paye is now destination 3.
After the relatively crowded trip to the Eve gate, I'm now pushing through 0.0 about 20 jumps from the Titan wreck in C9N-CC. While the map shows almost no kills for the whole route in the last 24 hours, the ships that pass through are piloted by people whose bio's indicate they have no respect for human life. So far none have bothered to kill me.
I had a break in system AX-DOT. Parked my ship and went to admire the rats in the various belts in my pod. Sansha's live here, in some version of the Nightmare. Tonight should see my ship posing next to the Titan wreck, and then the long haul to Paye can begin.

Wow. For a trader from Jita, seeing the Titan wreck in C9N-CC was thrilling. Posing next to it in my shuttle proved a problem, by the time I zoomed the camera out far enough to see the whole Titan, my shuttle was just a couple of pixels. It's an experience I'd recommend to anyone coasting along in empire.
I'm getting a taste for wandering, dropping my trading 'responsibilities' and going sightseeing might just be a metaphor of what I'd like to do in real life, so I'm going to go hard:) Keep the tourist destinations coming, and thank you:)

Well I've taken my fill of happysnaps next to Steve the Titan, now I'm off to see the graveyards of eve next.
OK, a question for 0.0 vets, I'm at 4-OUKF in the Esoteria region, when I try and jump through most gates around here, on the first try I fail - getting a message saying Traffic Control is currently offline. There's no-one around, is this normal?

If you want to see live titans the current fighting in Delve is centered around PR-. Just take a covops at 100km to whatever cynos you can find on the map and lag willing you'll probably see something.
My new holiday destination is Delve , thanks:)
