Irishgirl, I live just an hour east of Niagara Falls, in upstate New York. I,ll be there for about 3 hours and then smuggle my "loot" back over the border. hehe It,s not as expensive as England either.lol

I would love to go to New England especially in the autumn.

oh i'd love to go toNigara falls but i believe it's so expensive where are you staying Carol and for how long?

I,m just reading everyones choice of places to visit and smiling at how we all view the grass on the other side of the fence. I,m going to Canada (Niagara Falls) this Saturday ( to buy the crackers and selection boxes) and New York nearer to Christmas but what I,d love most of all is to do my Crimbo shopping in Chester and then go to watch a panto in Llandudno on Boxing Day.lol

Would love to take a trip to the Antartic before it disappears with global warming

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

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....

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.

Dermot i agree and have already been there loved it

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".

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

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

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.
