Your dream holiday location

My da went to Goa in India once and waxes lyrical about the place. Like a prettier Portugal just with better food! One of my mates is from Mauritius. He's settled down here now but when he goes home I creep on his uploads. It looks a stunningly beautiful country.

Buona Fortuna

Somewhere its not feckin dark and raining.

West Kerry.

Or West Cork.

But no big urge to travel. South Kerry pretty near perfect.

The chances of bumping into a Healy Rae is very high. When I go on holiday I like to avoid the gombeens.

Mid western coast of France. Talmont to Les sable D'Olonne.

Stunning coastline, beautiful beaches, forests, small French towns, warm but not roasting.

We've holidayed there a few times and it's just wonderful.

Went to Iceland a few years back... loved loved loved it... amazing scenery... contrast of ice and snow and rock and ... just lovely...
Would go again in a heartbeat (if I could afford it )
Highly recommended to everyone... (we got lucky and had snow at end of Oct there)

Oh lawws so many places!

Tucked away in a cabin somewhere isolated with lots of snow. Soft blankets!
Staring up at the Northern Lights and making a wish.
Lying on a yacht off the coast of Santorini feeling like a movie star from the golden age.
New Zealand.
New Orleans.
Canada.
Or sometimes this country right here. The Bloodyforeland up in Donegal. Bonny woods, a magical little place I found by chance.

Love holidays.

What I'd love to do is rent a cabin in Finland/Lapland for the Christmas. It would be magical. The kids would love it. We are in Santys town.

Just back from there. Heaviest snow in 30 years apparently. Made everything look the same to be honest but would go back again this weekend if i had the time. Such a nice place. Rented a car and did a lot of driving so couldn't really enjoy the night life or anything. Would like to experience that.

I'd actually love that

Also New Zealand or South America/Cuba are on the to do list

At home alone. With the door firmly closed behind me and the phone on silent.

Been there, lovely spot but watch out for the pickpockets and thieves...notably more of them there than Nairobi because of the tourists.

Also, try to avoid the British Ex-Pats...they are the most annoying people i've ever met.:mad: Spent a week in Mombasa, some of our group spent the whole week sitting by a pool....could've done that in the Canaries :rolleyes:


My dream location...Mexico. I'd love to experience it.

Planning on it for 2017...no holiday next year.

In August 2017, planning on going to Iceland for around a week, relax in the geothermal pools, planning on a hike up Hekla volcano, and also Eyjayfallajokull, see the geysers and glaciers and many waterfalls among other thngs, one can take a trip to Greenland from there but it is expensive.
For the next bit of my trip I already have a deposit down for it, I will go to Salt Lake City in Utah and from there join a tour that involves heading north towards Idaho/Montana/Wyoming and from there visiting Yellowstone national park and keeping my volcano theme trip going. Again will see geysers, other volcanic related activity and waterfalls, and plenty of wildlife includes bears, wolves, bison and so on.
From there on to Grand Teton national park for a couple of days with many things planned but the main event is the solar eclipse.
Then back to Salt lake City and home.

It has things I love: nature, wildlife, astronomy, scenery and volcanoes, with plenty of activity included.

You cant beat downtown Bundoran on a cold, wet winter morning

Iceland and Japan are my new must travel to places. It used to be NYC, Amsterdam and Mexico but I'm lucky I've checked those off. Wouldn't mind going back to Mexico to experience it properly - we only got to see Tijuana but that was interesting enough.

We are known as very hospitable people but the Mexicans leave us in the shade. Quite literally! It's worth a visit for the grub alone. Not that cheese infested Tex Mex we get served up.

A grand spot except for their fecking church bells ringing at all hours of the morning.

I would love to get a train from Paris all the way to China and India, but apparently parts of the journey are very boring, sounds fantastic though.

Mesrine65

The Upland South of Kentucky from the Appalachians to the Ozarks.

I fit in well with the locals & enjoy the Southern hospitality.

New York for me. Gimme the grey, gritty city that's buzzing and full of a lifetimes worth of stuff to do over any of these scenic hideaways.

mfceiling

Apricale in northern Italy. Named as one of the 7 most beautiful villages in Italy. Drive to the outskirts of the village, park up and walk in. All the little cobbled narrow lanes are silent and eventually you'll arrive at a beautiful plaza where you can have a bite to eat and a drink with a view into the green hills and enjoy the silence.
You can walk around the village and find little alleys with beautiful homes whose doors are open to nosey in!!
Seriously, Google it....beautiful

I was in Patagonia a number of years ago and have always wanted to return. I did the W-Trek in Torres Del Paine national park in Chilean Patagonia. It was the most wonderful place I've ever had the luck to visit.

If I went back I'd tackle the 9 day full circuit around the park.

The wide open Serengeti in west Cavan.





but really..Heidelberg, there once a few years ago and fell in love with the place.

That sounds pretty amazing would love to do it too

For anyone going to Iceland I'd recommend the skaftafellheidi trek and the summit climb on kristianartindar. 6-7hr round trip with views of epic proportions. Google it. Prepare to bring a tent due to almost no formal accomodation nearby.

Patagonia for me is a dream destination - Torres del Paine is immense. Would love to go back. Would love to see Greenland also. Tasermuit looks amazeballs in South Greenland.

Somewhere with great urban and rural places to walk or cycle, nice architecture, 18-24C, gentle hills, and value for money.

I've been lucky to have visited many amazing places. If I'm asked for my favourite place ever; I will suggest Torres del Paine without hesitation. It's an extraordinary place. Chile is an amazing country and the Andes are an amazing mountain range.

I agree. It's my no. 1 location too. We did the w also. Glacier grey was mighty impressive as it's not well advertised so I got a bit of a suprise at the sheer size of it when it came into view. The Puerto moreno glacier instead seems to steal most of the lime light with pictures of it everywhere in brochures etc.

I consider myself fortunate to be Irish, I think our little country is stunning, especially when the sun is shining, but Burma looks incredible. I would love to go there, and some of the Thai islands also look amazing. Peru is also on the list...Macchu Pichu has been a dream of mine for years, but haven't the money for any of this at the minute!

Testament1

I haven't done much travelling, Australia and New Zealand and San Francisco is all I've been to. So many more places I'd love to visit. Iceland and Greenland would probably be top of my list. I'd love to spend a week in Rovaniemi around Christmas too.

Have been to both. Would go back to both in a heartbeat. Going to Japan and Mongolia next year. Both have been on my list of places I want to go for a very long time.
