Anywhere you would have liked to visit? Anywhere not ?

I have not been able to travel very much in this life because of my own and my daughter's ill health. She was bedridden for twelve years and I only had two weekends away during these years, near to our home in London. There are many places I would like to have seen and I feel envious. But I also accept.

My daughter got a little better and has been able to have short holidays in Europe with her very supportive partner, with help for the disabled traveller and resting a lot. To see her do that is a joy I never thought to have.

We have also been able to relocate to my home in Scotland and we have had short local holidays here. It is such a joy to see the sea and the hills after so many years never seeing either.

For those who may not have traveled much for any reason, and be reading this thread, I think seeing less can mean you enjoy what you can see more.

I never had much interest in travelling till I was 67 and found myself and hubby more comfortably off than we imagined we would be, with daughters both helped on the housing ladder. We had spent summers touring western Europe (and some of Switzerland) with our touring caravan and once been to Florida, but that was it. So at 67 and 72 we went on a Med cruise and I felt in love with cruising. Never imagined that I would. Two World Cruises later (one a bargain price due to Covid) and I am hoping we can afford another to some different areas. S America is sadly off the agenda due to Yellow Fever, but the two World Cruises both had to change itinerary so we never saw Sri Lanka where DH had worked years ago.

Whilst I would love to see the Arctic it is too cold for me.

Dubai is ok. We stayed there for a week and found the people very friendly. Very,very hot though. It is amazing what they have done with the desert, puts Australia to shame. I wouldn’t go again but it was worth seeing.
I would like to see more of Thailand. We have been but only briefly, to Bangkok and Koh Samui.

We can only judge anywhere we have never been from a distance, but as my travel opportunities are closing tight I don’t have the luxury of time.
I find places with different cultures the most interesting and like history of more than a couple of hundred years. I like to be in a place where the people speak a different language and has different food and customs.
Each to her own.

Love the USA. Like many people going on holiday we avoid the tourist areas. We have been to the deep south, route 66, the grand canyon ,but also waculla springs,the national parks,Dauphin Island, silver sands, Tennessee , Seaside,Avery Island as well as Washington, New York, and New Orleans. The food is fantastic, the people lovely and the scenery outstanding. Really don't judge a country by its movies,real people live there too

Have been lucky enough to have travelled to many places. Missed out on Jerusalem/Bethlehem as there was a surge of trouble there and so we cancelled the trip. Machu Picchu was always on the list but never quite made it and more recently would have liked to go to Antarctica but wouldn't want to go on my own now.

Mostly travelled in Europe which is lovely, but now realise there are other places still, further away, that I want to see.

Not interested in US Australia Africa Canada, but woukd love to visit Vietnam, Cambodia Thailand, Malaysia, also South America if that’s possible. The few far off places we have visited latterly all with different cultures and languages appeal to the adventurous person I like to think I still might be and I found india Bali Cuba excitingly different.

We couldn't afford long haul travel for most of our lives, and now we probably could stretch to it, we are getting too old for long flights and very hot weather.
Still a tiny bit hope dwells within

I’m very lucky to have visited quite a few places, but I would like to visit (though it’s unlikely now, but never say never), are Canada, Iceland and The Norwegian fjiords.
I’m not interested in visiting very hot, busy places - India and Egypt are 2 examples. I’ve never been interested in going to Australia, though I have flown over it, if that counts 😂.

I omitted Cuba, and Vancouver.

Really want to visit Norway. Wouldn't go to Dubai if you paid me. The Benidorm for nouveau riche chavs imo.

I’ve travelled quite a bit - more so since I retired. I still have a desire to visit the Baltic states. Hope to do this trip in the next year or two. And one place I would never ever go again is the Isle of Wight with Daish coach tours and staying in the Daish hotel there. Just a dreadful trip - miserable and unclean accommodation - awful tasting poor quality food, and uninterested staff with the exception of the wait staff in the dining g room who worked nonstop and cheerfully even though the food they served was tasteless and overcooked.

I love to travel and sorry but have to disagree with Monica about two weeks not being enough. It’s certainly been enough for me and less too in certain circumstances. I’ve never yet found anywhere that I’d rather live but I’m more than happy with visiting. Latterly I’m happier with warmth as the arthritis gets more intense. So will choose destinations with that in mind. Machu Pichu is still on the cards.

I would have loved to have gone to India. One Christmas, the first of my Christmas gifts from my DH that I opened was a guide book to India. I fully expected one of his other gifts to be airline tickets to Delhi, but no, he just thought that I’d like to learn a bit more about India. He didn’t fancy going, so we never went. I’ve been to the USA a few times, travelling around, and also to New York. I really enjoyed it. We did a fair bit of travelling in Europe, but never in the Scandinavian countries. I have caring commitments now, so not likely to be travelling too far, unfortunately.

If I could have visited anywhere, I would have visited Mauritius. My grandfather was born there and told many a tale when I was small. Out of my price range though.

My dream was to go to Venice. We're fortunate to have been four times. It lived up to all my expectations and more. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Hong Kong. too late now

We’d like to cruise the Caribbean before we’re too old, but it’ll mean doing some SKI-ing! 💷💷💷💷😳😂

I live is the USA (rural Midwest) and have traveled a lot here…am planning a trip with my daughter next year to Scotland (ancestral home), and would someday like to visit Austria! Any suggestions on tour companies?

I haven't travelled much at all really, financial reasons and a lot of time caring for people.
I had always wanted to visit Russia though and Chernobyl....not likely at all now sadly.

I would have liked to visit Japan but after my husband died I dudn't want to do it alone. I have travelled a lot in Canada which I loved and am so glad I visited Russia before the horrid situation that exists now (although I did spend a week in a training hospital when there!! Made our NHS a gold 5* organisation, it certainly opened my eyes!

We have travelled fairly extensively, but there are still many places which I would love to visit, both near and far.

I'd love to go to South America, but babysitting commitments currently limit our available time - would probably go to Argentina, Chile & Brazil over 5-6 weeks.

Also, disappointed that I'm unlikely, in the current political climate, to visit Russia. I had investigated St Petersburg, Moscow & the Trans-Siberian express prior to the pandemic.

I have no inclination to go to the USA again, have only been to Florida with our children and New York for a weekend.

I see lots of mentions for Norway, which I highly recommend. Our son lives in Oslo, lots to see for a city break ( though avoid November/December). we travelled to the Lofoten islands 2 summers ago, which was absolutely magical. Next year we plan to explore more of the West coast in summer.

No notion to go to any part of USA Always fancied Kenya as my Dad did part of his National service there and spoke of it very fondly

I've love to see more of America and Italy. I've visited Chicago, New York and Los Angeles and Rome, Sorrento, Sicily and worked in Madrid for a while.

I have been to Australia and NZ via Singapore all great places. I like America going back to NY in Dec. I also really love Turkey and we go for a week every year.

For some reason have never gone to Italy or Poland and plan to do that next year.

I have always wanted to go to Israel and see all the biblical places but I can’t see that ever happening as every time I’ve tried to go the area , especially now has been too unstable.

I would never go to China, Japan , or Russia and can’t see me ever getting to Africa now.

When I finished my Nursing training in 1963, I wanted to go to New Zealand. I had 2 Aunts and uncle and 2 cousins there. I wanted to go under the emigration scheme, for 2 years. As I was still under 25 I needed my parents permission. My Mother point blank, refused to sign the paperwork, I never got to go. Now I am too old ( aged 83) but I still regret not being allowed to do that.
