Around the world

Must have been an amaing experience. My daughter flew on 21st February but only travelled Australia and Fiji which are places I would like to go myself. I would also like to experinece India and Eygpt. This will not happen for a few years yet as I have a very young son, but do intend to eventually and also Thailand which is where my sister in law in from. I encouraged my daughter to travel now while she is young so that when she does settle she will have experienced things rather than just wondering. I have been to your first port of call though in 1991 I went to Los Angeles. Ellie:D

Wow you are a jetsetter.. I love that..i love doing that ..Oh well I want to go to Fiji with my hubby everywhere I go I want him to be with me and have honey moon all over the globe.

Wow, that is absolutely amazing, as I said before I really enjoy hearing about your travelling adventures, we both have the travelling spirit in us, when do you hope to go travelling again? Time really does fly doesn't it! I have no plans to travel this year, apart from going to my beloved retreat. I have a lot to sort out with myself, getting over depression, getting counseling long term and anger management. I still have in my sights Sweden, New Zealand and Southern Ireland and maybe even Turkey closer to home as it were. Travelling broadens your outlook on life as well as tasting different cultures and learning about other countries.

I would love to go on a round the world trip. Not for one year though. Maybe about two months. I realise in that shorter period of time I would be restricted in what I could see. Your chose some excellent places to visit for your trip. If I went around the world, I would love to visit Egypt, Vietnam, Moscow, Paris, Fiji, Indonesia & parts of Africa.

I went around the world in 1966, and I think if we compared notes we'd almost find two different worlds.

I have been around the world three times. My first time was in 1986 , we were away 6 months. From Sydney to ROME to MALTA to LONDON to Spain, Portugal and Morocco to LONDON through France , Germany, Poland , Russia by BUS, to Finland, Sweden and down to Denmark, to Holland. From Holland we flew to TORONTO visiting New York for three weeks, then to Vancouver. From Vancouver to Los Angeles and San Francisco, then to Hawaii, and back to Sydney.

That sounds amazing. There are many places I'd like to visit. I've been to Italy and Switzerland but would love to see more of Europe...France, England, Ireland, Netherlands... I'd also love to see the pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, Victoria Falls, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Galapagos Islands.

That is AWESOME. I have always wanted to do an around the world cruise... one such itinerary is a year away and everything is sold out except for the suite which is almost $70,000/person. Little too expensive for my blood. The itinerary: Ports of Call: Departs From Ft.

Hello, That seems like a very nice experience you had . It would have been tiring however ?

I would like to go around the world from North to South. I have been fortunate to have been many places and get paid for it going East - West. From London it would have to be: Madrid - Casablanca - Gaborone (Botswana) - Cape town-Stanley - South Pole. Then Argentina - Mexico - California - Montana - British Columbia - Greenland - North Pole and then back to London via Iceland to warm up in the hot springs. I would probably take in a few other African countries too.
