...which would be the one place you would want to travel to and why? I think I would choose Australia or New Zealand - it appears to me that these two glorious places are not too different to paradise!

Yes, Australia and New Zealand would be great to see. The place I would have to go to would be Ireland and surrounding areas. Being able to spend alot of time there would be wonderful. I would love to see the back streets of Ireland but also Whales, Isle of Mann, England, and Scotland. Would to spend alot of time and see it all.

That does sound lovely. I think one the best things about the UK and Ireland is the richness of their history.

To be honest with you, if money and time are not object in this equation I would go....EVERYWHERE. I mean think about it, if you have as much time to explore as you want, and all the money in the world, it should be where should I go, but, where should I start. I have never traveled out of the country before, so I would probably start in the major touristy places in Europe. England, Paris, Rome, and so on.

Thats a great answer. Parts of Europe are just so magical and have so much history attached I can understand why you would want to begin there.

Tropical paradises do sound wonderful, but I have a desire to go to Alaska, because it is there, and is exotic in its way, and Finland, because that is where my husband's ancestors are from. I would like to see the whole world though.

Oh I completely understand. I think Alaska would be pretty out of this world actually.

Hi GardenGerty! I would love to go to Alaska one day, myself. I have a cousin who lives in Anchor Point, Alaska, which is near Anchorage. She and her husband have been up there for several years now. She teaches school up there. They really like it up there, too. They're originally from California. Anyway, I would like to visit them and see the wildlife, people, etc. up there. Kathy.

I have been to Australia twice and New Zealand once. Australia is known as the 'lucky' country. It has glorious beaches, a red interior and an amazing reef. It has unique wildlife and really friendly people. It is my second favorite country that I have been to and Sydney is my favorite city in the world. New Zealand has stunning scenery like lovely beaches, ancient forest, cool mountains and white glaciers. It is well known that it has amazingly beautiful walking tracks. I spent months there and that was the right choice for although it is small there is lots to see. It is my third favorite country. In case you are trying to guess my favorite country it is Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean. That, for me, really is paradise. The one place I am really keen to visit is South America and I am learning Spanish so that would be helpful in most countries there. I would love to visit Machu Picchu in Peru most of all. I love to see ancient sites in a natural setting, in that case it is mountains. I would adore a trip to Cartagena de Indies in Colombia to see all its old buildings. It would be an awesome experience to go on a wildlife cruise around the Galapagos Islands.

I think I'd like to go to South America and see as much as possible. I've never been there so I'd be really interested to go and spend time in different countries.
@UK_Shree (3603)

South America would be great. I'd quite like to see Peru in particular one day.

I've been to Australia and New Zealand. Of course I didn't want to leave, so I'd love to go back! But if I could go anywhere...? I think it would be Prince Edward Island in Canada. After seeing Anne of Green Gables, I used to dream about it. Dream about living there...it seemed magical.

if money and time were not an issue, i want to travel to the poles. either north pole or south pole is fine with me. i would love to be there to watch the polar bears or penguins. the extreme cold means a lot of equipment is required and that means money. also, i'd love to see the aurora from the north pole. i've heard that it's spectacular and takes ones breathe away.
@UK_Shree (3603)

I can imagine that it does. I think cold locations can be beautiful too.

Australia. Definately Australia. I just love the natural and close to God look of that country plus the very interesting animals there. There are other countries but none which compel me to visit as much as Australia does.

I have lived in Australia for seven years and its a beautiful country (if only I could say the same for its people!) But my ultimate destination is Hawaii. I love all the Polynesian culture and I have dreamed of going there ever since I was a kid and from what I have seen on telly it looks like total paradise so I would most definitely want to go there one day. In fact I have marked Hawaaii as my honeymoon spot.. (but first I gotta get a bloke! )

Lol, no harm in making plans! Yes Hawaii does look like an absolutely amazing destination and I would love to visit one day too.

Hi UK_Shree! I would like to go to Australia, myself. The reason why is because I imagine that a lot of it is like the american west, which is mostly desert and cattle ranches. I understand they also have horses and sheep ranches, too, only their ranches aren't called "ranches". They're called "stations". I would also like to see the kangaroos and koala bears and maybe even get a chance to hold one. I used to have a pen pal that lived in Brisbane. She moved to a smaller town after she got married but I don't remember the name of the town. I would like to meet her. Happy mylotting! Kathy.

I think i will choose Hawaii! My boss was there with his family, he comment that Hawaii is definitely a place that we should go once in our life. Very pretty place, air is some clean, no pollution at all. But it's very expensive. But according to your topic, money and time is not object, then Hawaii!
@UK_Shree (3603)

Yes forget money and time! Hawaii is one of the tropical paradises - I have never been but would sure like to go one day.
