If you were offered to go anywhere in the world where would it be and why?

I would love to see the northern lights.

If I was offered a chance to go anywhere in the world then...

I would love to go to New York at Christmas Time
To see all the Christmas Trees & everything else.

um well im not greedy but give me a choice an im so indecisive

spain,

florida

santa land

Yes New York.
Or San Francisco, or may be Rome. One day...

i went to new york in March lights are everywhere loved it .

There are places I would like to see but which I wont because I don't feel they are safe, or I feel I am not up to the travel, but talking 'magic' travel I would love to see Peru, not sure where exactly but it is where the Incas were.
I would like to see Rio de Janeiro Because my Dad talked about when he was there.
Bethlehem, because my Mum always wanted to go and didn't get there.
I would love to see Tibet.
I saw on TV the other day a programme on China near I think the border of Tibet, beautiful mountainous scenery.

talking realistically I would like to return to the Canyons of America - Grand Canyon, Brice Canyon, Archers, Canyonlands etc. Because the magnificent beauty is never forgotten.
Iceland
And, yes the Northern Lights.

Northern Lights - yes - I so enjoyed that Joanna Lumley programme it was so wonderful - such an experience.

mmmm? Canada. Would love to go on that train journey. Of course they also have LOTS of snow too, which I LOVE!

or would we all have to share

irish, we went december time, its not expensive there,
and flight was 45 mins from cardiff to amsterdam airpoort

I saw a travel programme the other evening and Montenegro looks beautiful.
I'd like to go there.

Places I like where I've been include Corsica and Bruges and Brussels.

There are loads of lovely places I'd like to go to but not cheap.

Sue i have always wanted to go to Corsica but think you have to go for min 7 nights what is the food like there hubby is very fussy likes english food

Come along now! You know full well that there is no place in the UK /on earth as beautiful as Devon. No wonder they say - "Do it for Devon".

Dermot i agree and have already been there loved it

Corsican food is really French with a dash of Italian.

It isn't the sort of holiday destination where you find English cafes selling English food.

I stayed in Calvi in the north of the island and I loved it. My friend and I had continental breakfasts in the hotel then we'd buy fresh bread, cheese and peaches to eat on the beach for lunch. The evenings were French style dinners in the hotel. We had a really nice proper pizza out once.

Corsica isn't cheap but it is lovely and unspoilt.

Sue

I would have liked to do world tour going places like Petra, Marrakesh, Niagra Falls,the Ffords,and all stops in between....but I will prob go to Llandudno ,
big sigh....

South Africa all the way! Not that that's any good for a 3/4 day trip...hmm...

Id love to go back to Canada as Ive not been since I used to live there 20yrs ago! Also would have to revisit Frobisher Bay, now known as Iqaluit, on Baffin Island!
Fantastic holiday though a little cold to say the least........lol
