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.

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.

Greek islands.

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.

I'd like to go walking on the moon as well as a few earth orbits

Croatia is pretty amazing so are the islands.

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)

16-12-2015 12:06PM

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.

not telling or it will be overrun with tourists

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.

Coast of Kenya.

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

scdublin · 16-12-2015 04:22PM

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.
