I would love to return to Fiji!
Went there 3yrs ago,, fell in love with the place.. yes it was basically like a third world country in some respects when you are out of the towns, in the villages, but it was like stepping into Jurassic Park to look at in theway of the tropical forest etc.. the hotel complex made up of these "burras" which are the little beach huts fantastic, the beaches and reefs were superb, great for diving and great for dining too with great ranges of fish menu etc... fell in love with turtles out there too (and no not literally!)
the best parts were the"kava" for some in the know of its affects and it is legal over there! and then the fact that i had a 21shot cocktail for the equivalent of £3... 3 of them and i was in the pool with the germans (yeah they made it there too!!! but there was no towel nabbing!!) singing stupid songs doing the conga at 3 in the morning!! And finally the sunsets and rises!! Heaven!
A few days break anywhere at the moment would be nice.
Just to relax, maybe drift down a river/canal on a boat with some nice company.

This may sound a bit bizarre but .........
My best holiday was in a static caravan in Snowdonia , North Wales. The weather was horrendous , we were the only occupied caravan on the site there was no site shop or club/bar and no entertainment apart from a pair of collapsed goalposts on a waterlogged football pitch .
At the time i was working a 7 day / 70+ hour week , and going there was like i had stepped off the edge of the planet. No noise , no people , no stress .... the only telly channel we could get was S4C ( a welsh version of channel 4 for those that dont know) , but none of that mattered , it was , and still is the best holiday i ever had. I went back to work fully refreshed and feeling gr8 . I went to Florida the next year and felt like i needed a holiday to get over the one i'd just had!
No accounting for taste !
I was greedy, and did get a round-the-world ticket. It was fantastic, but after four weeks I was ready to go home. Unfortunately I'd left the best until last. Easter Island is an amazing place.
My unfulfilled dream is to take a few months and spend it driving all the way around Australia. Following the coast, stopping where it looks interesting and spending a few days. A few side-trips into the interior. Going at my own pace. It's such a huge country and I have seen so little of it.
Would I want to travel alone, or with someone? A bit of both. I'm a terrible travelling companion. I'm incapable of following a pre-made plan. If I've decided to see a particular sight but spot something interesting on the way, the diversion might become the entire trip. Very often the things I want to do would bore other people silly: I spent ten minutes standing on the middle of the Tyne Bridge recently, waiting for the sun and clouds to arrange themselves just the way I wanted them for a photo.
But it would be nice to have someone to share the experience with.
The more I travel the more I want to see, my last holiday lasted 2 1/2yrs :shock: a year of that was in Australia, the rest in South East Asia and then Nepal, Tibet and India.
There's still lots of things I'd love to do though, so in no particular order of preference:
Take the Trans Siberian Railway from Moscow to Mongolia.
Explore South America, especially the Aztec and Inca ruins.
Visit Antartica.
Walk the entire length of the Great Wall of China.
Go on safari in Africa.
I am going to my perfect fantasy location this year - going to Las Vegas and I am soooo excited....
every where I go I find more places to see ...the world just gets bigger ...but there is only on India!!!!!
Well............ Kos was nice.b
BUT............... our dream holiday, and what is going to be our honeymoon... is St Lucia. we've both wanted to go there since we can remember so we decided it'll be our once in a lifetime dream fulfilling thing!! and what better way to do it than after our wedding day!
We were thinking of August next year but we've decided we'd like to get a mortgage as well, although the parents will help out i dont think we can afford both.... and to be honest i'd rather have somewhere of my own to live than a big piss up!!
I've never been abroad :cry: so a fortnight in Malaga would do me!
I have dreams about getting a passport and a camper van and just seeing where the road takes me.
I want to see all the big ones before I die - Taj Mahal, pyriamids, Grand Canyon, Ayers Rock, Northern Lights, Statue of Liberty etc, but at the moment I really, really, really, REALLY want to go to Rio de Janeiro.
One day .....
i'm like Marya. I would just love to get on the road not knowing where I'm gonna end up.I'm odd. I prefer the travelling to the getting I get to a place I'm ready to move on.
I've done the Indian Pacific train across Australia. If you ever get a chance, it gets my recommendation. First class, of course.
My only criticism is that they don't stop the train overnight. Some of the more interesting parts (the approach to Adelaide when coming from Perth, for example. After the Nullarbor ANYTHING is interesting) are done in darkness. It would add a few more days, but this trip isn't about getting to the destination quickly.
We did have the kids with us so not quite as much leeway to do what we wanted, but trip included helicopter trip along the Las Vegas Strip, we hired a car and drove to Death Valley and then out to the Hoover Dam and off to the Grand Canyon.
