I would take them to Australia so they can meet their aunts, uncles and cousins, it would be a once in a life time trip and such an opportunity to get to know their family

I would take them on a traditional sailing ship in the Caribbean, where they are part guest and part crew. They are expected to take part in the day to day activities of sailing the ship, including the great adventure of climbing rigging. It is a fantastic team building experience, as well as learning about sailing. The Caribbean islands are a great educational playground, including learning about the Geography of volcanic islands, the fine balance of man and nature and a huge amount of British History.

I would go to Australia to stay with family

I would take my grandchildren to Borneo it truly is a magical place to be amongst the gorillas I had the pleasure of visiting 20 years ago with my children and have always wanted to go back with my grandchildren hopefully one day

I would take my grandchildren to Queensland, Australia to visit their cousins

I would take them to Universal Studios in Florida. They love Harry Potter and never stop talking about going. I would be the best Grandma ever.

It has to be Orlando's Disneyworld, I would love to go again, and to see their faces would make it even more special!

I would take them to see meerkats in Africa.

annodomini Sun 06-Oct-19 20:43:59

I'd take them to the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. They all like different sports, so there would be something for everyone - and for me!

seasider007 Sun 06-Oct-19 20:53:21

Australia, best country I've ever visited!

beckyinman Sun 06-Oct-19 20:55:46

Somewhere historic like Egypt

flossy1973 Sun 06-Oct-19 20:59:27

I'd love to take them to new Zealand to all their relatives that they have never met!!!

Kittyme1 Sun 06-Oct-19 21:14:05

This is a tough one as there are so many beautiful places both at home in the UK and abroad. It would have to be Finland to see the Northern Lights, followed by a visit to Lapland to meet their hero Santa.

thingamaBob Sun 06-Oct-19 21:15:02

I'd take them to Disneyland California

buntybaby Sun 06-Oct-19 21:25:16

I would take them to Seaview on the Isle of Wight. It is where we took our children and they still have fond memories of our times in Seaview and it would be lovely to introduce the next generation to the simple pleasures of a UK beach holiday.

Halki a tiny island off the coast of Rhodes where we spent idyllic summers with our daughters when they were small. Would love to make a whole generation of new memories

pennwood Sun 06-Oct-19 21:56:05

I would take the grandchildren to Egypt to view the wonders they have talked and read about.

hellymart Sun 06-Oct-19 21:57:06

I would take them on safari in Tanzania! A great adventure for me and them.

EmmaCraven Sun 06-Oct-19 22:06:47

Once they're old enough, I'd take them back to the National Parks I loved to visit in the USA in my 20s - particularly Bryce Canyon.

MrRichTea Mon 07-Oct-19 00:58:07

I would take them to Japan, to show them culture, beauty & technology

Hatpev Mon 07-Oct-19 09:05:31

I would take my grandchildren to the lovely cottage we used to go to in the Scottish border hills. It is at the top of a valley where the road ends. There is a stream next to it where they can paddle and play. The only sounds there are the water, the sheep and the birds. No Wi-fi available. Just oodles of peace.

To Rwanda to see the gorillas so they can appreciate what gentle giants they are and what we would loose if we are not careful.
