Where in the world?

Difficult as having watched so many TV documentaries of far away places I would be spoilt for choice.
Were I asked how to get there it would have to be Concorde.
Living on the north coast of Cornwall the sea on my doorstep.not literally, I could set my watch when my windows shook as this beautiful piece of machinery gathered up her supersonic speed over the Atlantic enroute to her after noon visit to NY.
I did eventually get to NY but had I have known this fabulous lady was soon to be grounded for ever I would have gone on bended knee to my bank.

New Zealand is on my bucket list but I doubt I'll ever get there as DH has health issues. My son has been there and is happy to take me back but there would be no-one to take care of DH . Maybe one day, fingers crossed.

Definitely NZ. Every landscape/weather in the world, all in two islands.

My first choice would be Canada, a train ride across the rockies if not then Florence Italy went there at 15 and loved it

I loved Rome (in March) and would like to go back there. Lake Como is just so beautiful and peaceful. Definitely on my list for a return visit. Perhaps combined with Lake Maggiore?

Would love to visit India though I doubt I ever will. Japan is also high on my list and that is a distinct possibility as my eldest grandson will be moving out there soon for work and to marry a lovely Japanese lady.

India and the Maldives for me.

Russia for me. (The real Russia though, not the one the cruise boats see. I'm loving the Simon Reeves documentary.) Including the trans-Siberian Railway.
Or Canada, again including a railway journey.
Just a mile outside Santiago de Compostela so DH could fulfill his dream of walking just a little bit of the pilgrim way - health prevents him doing any more.

I'd like to visit South Africa - worked for a SA company and had a great boss - more of a friend who I'd love to see again. Also have an adopted Brazilian sister and would like to visit her in Rio - maybe go at Carnival! But can't see either happening.

Italy is beautiful for a holiday but I wouldn't recommend it for living in ! Unfortunately it is going downhill fast due to no law and plenty of disorder! I would love to go back to Switzerland for an extended holiday ( we only stay one night on our way home from Britain). It's so clean and orderly and the people are so polite and friendly.

I would love to visit Japan at cherry blossom time, ride the Bullet train and see Mount Fuji.

Vancouver Island .. went ten years ago and would just love to go back .. to live .. no chance .. but lovely dream!

Petra - ever since I read the poem 'A rose-red city half as old as time' when I was a child. I fell in love with Paris when I visited it on a school trip aged 16 and have been back several times (not recently). But, as an Italianophile (is that the right word) having been learning Italian for years, I'd love to visit Italy again. But DH is not well enough to travel and I can't leave him here on his own. So I'll continue to dream.

Quite chuffed to see how many of you mentioned Lake Como, I live in Bellagio, in fact writing this now looking at the lights on the lake through the window. ( whilst waiting for eastenders to come on tv, couldn't live without my english tv ??).

New Zealand for me too. If not there, then Antigua (I'm not fussy)!

How wonderful Buddly!

I live in New Zealand. We emigrated in 1976. Yes it is lovely but I would love another visit to the UK! Its such a long expensive journey though so dont think its going to happen.

Alaska and New England for me please. Preferably in the autumn when the leaves are turning to those beautiful colours. I agree with others, Rome is a beautiful place to visit but then so much of Italy is lovely so I'd I can't go to Alaska, can I do a top to toe tour of Italy instead?

I would go to Rio de Janeiro, I can't think of a more iconic and beautiful skyline. I've never been but longing to go. Also I would go back again in the wink of an eye to the Grenadines.

Puglia in southern Italy please! We love the region with its quaint towns, fabulous food & wine, lovely beaches & friendly people & the weather's not bad either! Perhaps we'd stop over in Rome for a day or two on the way, a favourite city of ours.

Got no real wants to go anywhere but ...... these names of places just call to me

Martha’s Vineyard
Cape cod
Jasper
Banff

I just like the words- daft I know why.

Haida Gwaii in British Columbia is somewhere I’d love to visit. I saw some beautiful photos recently and found them quite mesmerising so had to use google to find out where it was. It looks amazingly beautiful. I keep dropping hints !

Barbados just to escape the Canadian winter.

I would love to visit India. I decided I wanted to go in 1966 when The Beatles first visited! Hasnt happened yet. I could probably afford it, but I am such a worrier I imagine myself going down with some dreadful bug and getting stuck in an Indian hospital on my own. Even watching The Exotic Marigold Hotel a couple of times hasnt cured me of this idea.

Been whale watching in NZ and the whale was so close to the boat I looked him in the eye before he did his dive. Perfect. Been to most places but the one I still yearn to do is the Trans Siberian but not to China but end up in Japan. It is possible and have done all the work on going. A website called the Man in Seat 21 is all about train journeys around the world with timetables, advice and costs. A lovely way to spend a wet winter day.
