Day Dream Destinations

Italy, I'd longed to go there for years by ex wasn't interested (walking around, looking a things, what's the point, he said). I was scared stiff but went on a "Singles" Christmas to Tuscany which - I still can't quite find the words, but was life affirming. Florence - I went back 2 months later on my own for my birthday, walked the streets, saw all the art I wanted to at my own pace, stayed at a lovely hotel. All on my own.

Venice on my own was a bit of a let down - solo gondola trip, not so much ... but Florence exceeded expectations.

Racha Island, Thailand! Quite simply the most beautiful place! Best 50th Birthday present ever! Those were the days!???

My dream would be sailing round the Ionian Islands the sea slight,the sun shining on the sea making it a deep deep blue and the wine chilled!

Cape Tribulation or The Whitsundays in Australia beautiful beaches. Also a (luxury) tent overlooking the bush in a game reserve in South Africa. Wonderful memories.

Had 2 nights in Las Vegas, thought it was cheap, tacky, vulgar - and I loved it!! Would love to go again!!

At first I though you were dreaming of a destination in South London, odd I thought....

For me Jamaica and floating in the beautiful sea, bliss

Don't mind where I go as long as I am on a cruise ship. My cruise was cancelled of course this summer; should have been seeing the delights of the west coast of France and northern Spain.

One of the wonderful old hill towns in Northern Italy.

I, too, would love to go back to New York. Was there for the first time last October, and it wasn't long enough. I did cross Brooklyn Bridge at sunset though.

There was a little motel, I think it was called the Venus Motel in Cappadocia, Turkey. The sleeping accommodation was very basic but it had a swimming pool fed by thermal springs. In the pool there were Roman ruins and statues.
I often think back to swimming in that beautiful warm, bubbly water.

I'd love to be there right now.

The idea of a cruise on a large ship, is my idea of an absolute nightmare- you could not pay me to go.

My dream destination is England- to see my daughters and grand-children- nothing else matters.

But when little Emma, the dog we adopted 2 years ago and 15 at the weekend- we will go to Sidney, the great barrier reef, down to Melbourne and then on to Tasmania- via a few days in Singapour.

This thread is making me long to be somewhere beautiful, the places you all describe sound wonderful ?

Up the Amazon to see what is left before it and its indigenous people are finally destroyed by the greed of mankind.

Back to Japan, this time in Blossom Time to see the places I missed during Winter.

Happiest place so far; Bay of Islands New Zealand. Weepiest place; Machu Pichu, Peru. ( It took me 47 years of dreaming to get there). The one I can fall asleep to is a clipper ship with sunshine and blue sea. (Another one from my teenage years.)

Purnululu

Orkney Isles..... if you haven’t been you’ll never understand!!

Morioka in Japan.

The Dolomites, Sicily, and lots of places in between
The Northumbrian beaches
The Ardnamurchan Peninsula
Portugal’s Atlantic coast
and lots of other places. Too many to mention

I have 3 daydream destinations

My gran's garden, she grew beautiful fragrant Rose's and sweet peas. (Can smell them now)
Helping to pull the rhubarb for delicious tarts, rhubarb and ginger jam.

Jumping off a little sailing yacht in the Greek Aegean sea. Swimming with yesterday's bread roll tucked at the side of my bikini bottoms.
The fishes breakfast and DHs marine photo opportunities.

Riding pillion on the back of DH motorcycle in the Austuria mountains.
Eating lunch by mountain lakes.

Tallyann The Orkney islands are on my bucket list.

India for me. I have visited five times. Absolutely loved the place and the beautiful kind people.

Floating on my back in a warm gentle sea, eyes shut. Hearing the gulls crying and the lap of waves. Feeling that warmth and smelling the sea, getting a bit of spray on my face. I suppose if it has gulls it will be UK, but in my dream the sea is much warmer than that.

Oh well, I could go and have a warm bath I suppose, but a bit tight to float in there.

Asturia (N Spain ).

Evocative thought, seacliff!

I'm a good day dreamer Bellanonna! I was regularly reprimanded for it at school.

Being transported by your mind. In these times, it is a gift.

Anywhere at the moment!!
