As a child growing up I always wanted to go to France. I know it had something to do with the Eiffel Tower.
My dream vacation would be to visit Italy now. I want to wander through all the areas rich in history and culture.
I cross stitch and I see many pieces that are turned into cross stitch patterns from this country. So it has peeked my interests even more.
Where would you like to go and why would you pick this place?

Well, I'd like to go back to BC and visit my friends...
As for other places, I don't know. It'd be nice to go places if I had a romantic partner, but I don't and I'm not about to, either.

HI Barb I have a friend in Winnipeg manitoba. I got to visit her the first time about 10 years ago. then in 2006 we took hers and my first cruise together on a Cross Stitch Cruise. took my 15 year old son with me and all three of us had a blast!
I so hope to see her again. But there are a ton of problems going on in her apt building. She is waiting for her 95 year old mother to pass before she could visit me in the states because she cant afford a trip to visit me and then if her mother passed afford another trip to the states.
So we have to just be happy to talk to each other on the phone on a daily basis.
Like you if something happened to my husband I don't want another man!
I am getting to exhausted to care for someone after raising 5 children and helping with 7 step children through the years.
I am still trying to find the golden years
LOL
But Italy is my dream place to go.

I always have wishing to go to Hawaii. Even when I come from a tropical island that is my dream. I love the beach and the adventure, so I think going there should be a blast for me! My friends used to ask why? if we have all that here? But I don't know, I just hope that some day my dream comes true.

I would like to go to see Egypt, its history is so interesting and particulary like to visit Cairo museum. Another one on y list too is Italy and then venice and Rome such nice sounding places. In fact now you can see them on virutal tours too but its not as good as seeing these in person. I don't know when I would be able to but I do dream of visiting these places.

Egypt has always had a fascination for me. My son and I have spent many hours on fossil trips together here in the US. I can only immagine seeing the tombs and pyramids!

I still haven't visited any country in South America, so that's where I'd like to go right now. Many say South America is a must for travellers, and it's really nice.
If I had to go to a place I've already seen, my choice would definitely be Sydney. I love that city, I think it's simply perfect. :)

There are a lot of places I wanted to go to... And for different reasons, as well...
For relaxation, Maldives... Just thinking of the white sand beaches makes me crazy to go there already. Next would be in Thailand, because of shopping and culture immersion.
And to spend time with my husband, we wanted to go to Europe and visit France, Austria, Spain, Sweden. Or a relaxing Aegean cruise.
But most of all, I wanted to explore my own country. Go to the historical places and hidden wonders that a few only get to see..

I am hoping my husband and I will go on a alaskan cruise next year to unwind and relax.
My girlfriend and I took a Princess cruise to Mexico in 2006 with my son and it was awesome!
We did Puerto Valarte, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas.
My son loved every bit of it
Gayle and went because it was a cross stitch cruise
We had a balcony cabin and it was just perfect!
My hubby and I went on a Carnival Cruise last September to Calica (Cancun) and Cozumel Mexico. I got to see the Mayan Ruins. So awesome to see so much history.
But I have to say dollar for dollar Princess Cruise is a much nicer cruiseline for just couples.
For me Carnival centered around a lot of drinking activities. Just my point of view.
and the buffet was not quite what I had on the princess cruise.
Princess never closed down her buffet and Carnival actually did close it down for several hours between meals.
Just information I can give you in case you decide to go to Europe via cruises
Happy traveling!

I am so lucky because I have already been able to visit many different places in the world that I have wanted to see. Most of all I dreamed about visiting Australia and I managed to go there at age 20. Earlier this year I achieved visiting South America and that is a place I would love to return to. I wish to visit Machu Picchu in Peru. It is a Inca ruin situated in the mountains. Five years ago I had my best trip and on it I climbed Mayan ruins in Central America. I am so keen on visiting historical sites in spectacular locations.

Hi there, I have always loved to travel. however due to my ailment and insufficient budget, i can't. If I could to any place to visit right now, I would go to Paris in France to see the Eiffel Tower. It never fails to amaze me specially when seeing those pictures at my favorite travel-related blog websites that I have been following for several months now. Another place that I would like to visit would be Italy, London, Poland, Switzerland, Australia, Thailand, Vietnam, Jerusalem, Egypt and other states that are highly rich in culture and history. My professor told me that Europe is the best place to go since you'd learn a lot from it.

HI marie: Where do I begin.
- Europe:
I would like to visit Paris for the history of the city. I also would love to visit Rome and the Vatican City because it's a very important place for us the catholics. I would also like to visit Spain, I have watched the country on tv and it seems that there's a lot of things to see. And I would love to visit London. Most of the artist that I love come from the UK. I would like to see with my own eyes this country that has inspired so many great artists.
- America:
I would love to go to Argentina and to know more about the Tango history. I would like also to go to Canada and to Panama City which is a very commercial country.
-Asia
I'd like to visit China and Russia and also Australia.
There are a lot of beautiful places to visit in this world that you'll never end.

You are so right!
When I was in the army I was so busy I never thought of traveling. My parents did not travel so I really did not know much about it.
My husband was in Panama while he was in the Air Force and Germany.
I was just trying to pick one place I would like to go I see you just made it impossible LOL
Maybe if I save my pennies I will be able to take a world cruise. what a thought!
