Returning to reunite with my DH who lives in a rural location in la Sarthe, about 25 miles from Le Mans. (see photo) We were last together in early October, 2020. Due to travel restrictions, we have no idea when that will be. He won’t get his first vaccination until August, 2021, even though he’s 72!

Before the pandemonium caused by the pandemic, we would each spend time separately and together in our respective homes, as I live in Torbay. (second photo - five minutes from my flat) Neither of us anticipated a situation like this when we married in 2015.

Kefalonia for me, once I’ve been to America and Shropshire to see the family.

Just floating around the Norfolk Broads would be heaven for me. So many very happy times on the Broads that I would be in heaven to get back there!

Desperate to see my son and grandson. Last saw them December 2019 as last year every time we arranged meeting up lockdowns or Tier levels stopped that. We live in a holiday area in North Devon and they live in Hertfordshire so not my ideal holiday destination but that is number one.
In the UK would like to visit Yorkshire and Scotland and first chance of traveling safely abroad Western Australia as we had to leave last March and cut 4 weeks off a long break as the pandemic siezed Europe. Then a trip to the USA now Donald Trump's gone and specially want to go to National Parks: Rocky Mountain, Grand Teton and Yellowstone are the essentials. I have planned both trips and happy to do both in the same year... Could that be my 2022? Here's hoping

Venice for me. It's fascinating. Yes it's ridiculously expensive and crowded in parts but if you move into the side roads, you can find places with reasonable food and drink.
To see the post being delivered by boat, fire 'engines' and police on boats, customers on the sides of the canals buying fresh produce from boats is fascinating also.
Going to the back of St Mark's Square at night where the orchestras strike up and people dance is wonderful.

I'd be happy just to get o hatfield Forest for a wander amongst the trees.

Anywhere by the sea!

We need to visit mi Casa in Andalusia as soon as restrictions are lifted and will probably stay for a couple of months, catching up with friends etc.

I’d pop to kefalonia as well Jane as we lived there for 18 months and I still visit a couple of friends there, every couple of years, and missed 2020 due to COVID.

Just get me on a cruise ship!

A water bungalow in the Maldives for me. We've been 3 times and am sad that I'm unlikely to go again.

Once reunited with the family in America I really would like to explore New Zealand. I’ve yet to meet anyone who says a bad word about it , so before it’s too late Auckland, here I come!

I wish I could think of a dream holiday. Prior to lockdown I was planning a trip to North Carolina to visit my lovely American friend. Let’s hope I can do this in 2022.

Me? So many places - after seeing the GCs etc.
The Silk Road
China and Terracotta Army
Galapagos
Antarctica to name but a few.
Most likely shan’t see one of them ☹️

I'd love to go to New Zealand but just a dream.
Happy if I could visit my favourite place in Majorca eventually, but must admit that my travel confidence has gone.

Back to my music festivals and a bit further down the road, just maybe, another cruise

Lucky people who can afford holidays. Don't know when I last had one. Probably over 20 years ago

I went to Brazil with my daughter 3 years ago and we had a fabulous holiday arranged by a Brazilian firm. I never usually go back to the same place a second time but would go to Brazil a hundred times. My father was Brazilian and I just love the place and so did my daughter.

As much as there are so many lovely places I’d like to visit, am I the only person who has found this pandemic has made me realise how much I love my home and local surroundings? My DH and I have been self isolating since last March, only going out to walk the dog locally. We both have not seen any of our AC or GC in person since then and long to see and hug them. However, we have rediscovered our love of our home, large garden and the surrounding local area and feel there is nowhere else we’d rather be. Although, a brief change of scenery would be quite a welcome interlude!

Not sure I will be able to afford to so it really would be just a "Dream"

Somewhere warm and coastal. But at the moment Whitby would be great.

I love the South of France! ??
My husband and I holidayed there frequently when our children were small and it was absolutely wonderful!❤️ I have a degree in French and Spanish from way back in 1978, and being in France provided me with the perfect opportunity to brush up on my French speaking skills!
If money were no object, I would buy a house there and live in it for about 6 months of the year, thereby avoiding the Scottish winter! Alas, only in my dreams! ?

Tour of Italy in 1966 with my sister. Would love to be a time traveler. We both thought it was the best holiday ever.

S6857', if your mode of travel is flying have you ever used Bezier airport? I stumbled across it quite by chance and have never looked back.

Holkham Beach - I walk there every late summer, and the mind's eye pictures of the of sea, sand and sky see me through the winter. For me that beach walk represents total peace, calm, and the closeness to nature is inspirational. I missed it last year - it will be the first place I rush to when I can.
