Ultimate total freedom to roam is the vision. After we've done all the heart wrenching stuff, like physically reuniting with families, where do you dream of holidaying for the first time or, indeed, returning to? Care to paint a picture, please?

Would love to do a driving trip through the Western US. It was on my list for 2020 and never happened. To see the Grand Canyon, and Redwood or Sequoia forests.

Also would love another European trip. Start in France, and maybe go through Switzerland and end up in Italy. So many lovely places, but only so much time and money!

Rarotonga where we were last March, narrowly managed to get back before total lockdown. So relaxing, so warm and just lovely people. A long way to travel for most which means not too many tourists, either. Got to be a plus !

We had our dream holiday cancelled last May. Going to Canada:Lake Louise, the Rocky Mountaineer, Vancouver, Victoria, whale watching and the ferry to Seattle. Planned and plotted for all year. Fingers crossed that we can pick it up again. R M only open a few months of the year, so might squeeze a Greek Island in before.grin

My DH and I are fortunate to have had many wonderful holidays including Alaska, Canada, USA, South Africa, Namibia, Turkey, Croatia and many other European countries. All have been unique experiences. Would love to go back to our regular haunts on the Cote d'Azur for the wonderful combination of sea and mountains, culture and cuisine. But most of all right now and not having been away anywhere since Sept 2019, we dream of walking again on the South-West coastal path in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. The scenery is sublime and the seascape constantly changing. So uplifting and never more needed - if only we can still get up the hills...
