Anywhere you would have liked to visit? Anywhere not ?

32 years ago when we got married, we went to Japan for our honeymoon. Exceptionally extraordinary.

However, both of us, do not really care to fly such long distances.

So, basically we enjoy Italy, France, the North of Spain, and Switzerland.

This coming autumn, we have been thinking of travelling to Salzburg and Vienna, Austria and / or Budapest, Hungary.

We have not decided yet ..

I’ve never wanted to visit anywhere colder than here as I really hate the cold weather and it makes me miserable. I’ve also never wanted to visit Africa or India.

I’d have liked to have seen New Zealand as it looks beautiful and also Russia for the architecture, I don’t think either of those places are likely to be on the cards now. I’ve become quite averse to travelling abroad now, partly because of it’s effects on the planet but also because I have become very lactose intolerant which makes eating out fairly difficult in this country so goodness knows what it would be like in a country where I don’t speak the language.

After a nightmare trip to North Africa I decided against going back or to the Middle East, just doesn’t appeal

How wonderful Witzend. Lucky you.

I would like to go to Canada or anywhere for whale 🐋 watching. I've never fancied Australia 🦘

Provincetown, US Cape Cod, is brilliant for whale watching. We’ve been several time, thanks to a Dsis very conveniently living in Cape Cod! Huge humpbacks up so close every time.

I spent years touring Europe in my camper van days, but love going further afield too. I did the west coast and east coast of USA and would enjoy 6 months touring the middle states.
Also, I've always felt drawn to India and wished I could have gone there. The colours, the clothes, the jewellery, the people, all seem amazing to me.

Oops premature posting.

I always wanted to go to Petra, Jordan and we finally got there. I was not disappointed, it is stunning, but you have to be fit as it involves a lot of walking or alternatively you can take a pony ride through the mountain to it.

We walked as the poor animals looked so weary…

I know I am very lucky as apart from India I have been to most Countries I wanted to visit.

Travelling around Australia mostly in a camper van with two of our children (aged 4 & 9) was an exciting two months. We returned when our 4 year old was 16 along with our 8yr old DD, this time we stayed in apartments and hotels, less stressful.

Brazil was amazing, although Rio de Janeiro was a bit scary in parts.

Oman for the extraodianry rain forests on the Indian Ocean
The Silk Road
Galapagos
Lapland
Greenland
China
Loada other places
Of course, life is too short to do more than fleeting visits, but perhaps it helps us see that the world's people are not so different to us...

I would have loved to visit the Antarctic but for various reasons it is too late for me now. Another place is Canada, I think it is so beautiful there. Are there any places you would have loved to visit?
Norway was on my ‘wish list’ for many years but we finally got there a couple of years pre Covid. It was wonderful, I loved it there.
On the reverse side, I have never wanted to go to the USA and never have been there. Another one I wasn’t interested in was India though I know many people who love it.

I’m in Canada at the moment, it truly is a beautiful country. I’d love to visit Norway and Finland. If Australia wasn’t so far away I’d love to visit my friend who lives there, but I really don’t think I could stand the journey. One of my sons did the year long young person,s visit, saw lots of the country and absolutely loved it.
I’ve never had any desire to go to places like Dubai.

Alaska and Hawaii. Not really sure why we never went. Too late now, I'm not in the best of health and we have 3 dogs who I wouldn't want to leave . No idea why I've got so weird about the dogs. Over the years we've had quite a few and used to go away regularly, leaving them with relatives, but now I just feel tremendous guilt!

Oh, yes, I had forgotten the whole Persian Gulf area, I retract my firt statement I would sooner visit Australia than go anywhere there.

We’ve been lucky enough to see just about everywhere we really want to see.

We did once have a tour of Mexico lined up, which was cancelled - I think I’d still like to do that. More of the US - New England maybe, perhaps Texas? And I love sleeper trains so I’ve always dreamed of a long trip on a luxury train - along the Silk Road on the Golden Eagle would do nicely. Of course we’d have to win the lottery or sell a kidney to be able to afford it.

I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like Dubai, but there isn’t anywhere I’d definitely rule out.

I’d love to retrace Joanna Lumley’s footsteps along the Silk Trail, I found that fascinating. I’ve travelled a fair bit, but one place I’ve never been and would love to see is Japan, which looks to have very diverse scenery, and is culturally interesting, so different to the UK - and I love gardens.

I agree about very short visits being pointless M0nica and expensive on the planet.
I like purposeful travel.
I am going to the Isle of Skye next month for a week's Gaelic course.
I went last year and enjoyed it. I used public transport all the way to add to the adventure.

Having lived all over the world as a child ad had a long term holiday home in France. I am uncertain about just visiting a country for short period.

A one or two week holiday living in a hotel in a tourist spot is no introduction to a country. having a self catering place somewhere away from tourist hotspots is better, but to know a country you need to live there for at least several months

But if I go abroad on holiday now I like to have a narrow field of focus. This year we had booked a Battlefield holiday visiting the sites of Duke of Wellington's battles during the Penninsula War in Spain. I have never visited them before. Unfortunately we have had to cancel this because on examination it required more walking than DH can now manage.

I, too, would like to visit Norway 🇳🇴 one day, but the place l would like to visit more than anywhere else would be Italy 🇮🇹. I would go in April or October rather than high summer, though, as I get sunburnt easily enough in the UK!

I never wanted to go to the USA, but loved it when I did. I have always wanted to go to Japan, at cherry blossom time, and I would love to see the Atacama.
Not too keen on very hot countries though. I’m rubbish in the heat

I travelled the world as a child as we lived in NZ but came to and fro to UK by plane and by ship. Not long stops but enough to have a flavour of the various countries. I loved Beirut for some reason. Gorgeous food and climate. I've not been back but one DiL is part Lebanese so there's an added interest.

My grandparents are buried in NZ and in Burma. Never been to Burma.

My DS emigrated to NZ so I have been several times to see him including early this year. He has travelled a lot so I live vicariously. He's here now on a visit.

DB is in Denmark so I have travelled around Scandinavia over the years. I'm just home from the far north of Jutland.

I have not been to the Americas unless you count the Panama canal.
Canada sounds amazing.

I have a nephew in Finland now.

We had holidays in France for 10 years when my in-laws owned a house in the far South.

Never been to Russia or any of the former Soviet Union or much of Africa but I have no ambition to now.

I'll just watch the travel programmes

I always wanted to see the Taj Mahal and visit St Petersburg. Won’t be doing either now. I have zero interest in visiting South Africa.

I've been to South Africa, 5 years ago, Cape Town, Stellanbosch, and Johannesburg and Zambia 10 years ago.
Africa is stunning, the people very friendly in spite of their , somtimes very hard life. Went to an an amazing Cocktail Bar in Cape Town, we were made very welcome everywhere we went in Africa, the food was amazing. Feel sad its in turmoil again.

I have never wanted to go abroad, oh and I always took our holidays in Scotland, driving along the northern coast is lovely,,clear blue sea and white sand...

Well I go to Australia every year because my DD lives there. We’ve seen a lot of it- more than my son in law. Some of it is spectacular some of it pretty boring. Never been to Uluru though or swum with whales in Ningaloo bay.
We travelled a lot when I was young but never to the places that were quite near to the U.K. so I’d like to visit the Scandinavian countries.

I would like to go to Canada or anywhere for whale 🐋 watching. I've never fancied Australia 🦘

Liked to have visited: Yemen
No desire to visit: Australia, do not know why.

I have always wanted to visit India but DH is rather worried that our compromised immune systems might not cope well.

I have never wanted to visit Russsia!
