Our younger son FaceTimed us earlier. Part of the conversation led to places we would love to visit when it’s safe to travel and fly again.
My job is to write down 10 places both hubs and I want to visit. We are stumped right now.
He will make a list of 10 places. He already mentioned Postojna Cave in Slovenia, Hawaii, and Bali.
His girlfriend will also make a list and by now must have it completed. He figures she will want to climb Mount Vesuvius or go scuba diving somewhere.
BUT what thrills me the most is that he wants us all to go together!
And to be honest, I will go anywhere with them. Hopefully, her mother can join us, too.

@DianneN The boat I was on went through the storm that was releasing bolts of lightning on Vesuvius.It almost capsized in the storm because it was badly loaded - a lorry on one side and just me on the other with a couple of old ladies and a few goats.

I’ve been to Vesuvius and would return to see the new discovery they found.
We had to take some crazy funicular to get to Capri. I can’t remember if we took a boat, but it was so beautiful there.

Traveling with two people would be fun. But including your son, his girlfriend, and her mother would make it ever more exciting:) I'd love to visit Scotland, Iceland, and Switzerland some day.

Wow, I finally found a place you haven't been @DianneN I'm kinda surprised.
I have read that it's spectacular to see but being in China I personally wouldn't want to go there, maybe fly by and try to get a shot but that's it ..... oh wait, I'm not much for being that high up, ok, forget that

Sounds like fun. As for Hawaii, now each island got their own requirements and regulations, so I don't keep up. I know, travel is when safe, but good to take peak what places want of tourist, before you go. Oahu, Hanamua Bay is a pay & only with a car. Things changed.

I know you will. You're welcome. You know what...on news Canada hardly has covid outbreaks! The news showed the map with red covid areas, Canada hardly had any red splashes! The rest of map very red splashes.

@DianneN All three places he has mentioned so far are beautiful ... and there are 7 more, it will really be a difficult choice
And I hope and look forward to traveling in 2021
As I already mentioned to you, my plan is the Carpathians (Romania) and the Alps (Switzerland) for now... although my list is not yet complete

Exactly! I've been to the Swiss Alps and they are beautiful, but as I said, just to go together anywhere will be so much fun. We all get along so well. Seeing the sites and dining together with them would great. I could lay at a pool with hubs, go for a stroll, or shop with hubs if they want to go off to so something more adventurous. . We are all world travelers, so I'm sure many of our ideas will overlap.

@DianneN We are all looking forward to this social distance ending once and for all and living like a normal world. That trip together sounds tempting, I know you get along well
I truly believe that this nightmare will come to an end this year

I hope Al will be up to travel. 
My son asked if Daddy would be up for long flights, and I told him that he never was, but he went anyway.. It will be so good to travel again - anywhere! First place will be to New Jersey to see my older son and the family.

I was deceived climbing Mount Vesuvius, nothing interesting there, but I would surely love to visit Pompeii again and Capri, that I like a lot more than Ischia. For the moment the Campania region is "red zone" because of the high number of Covid cases, not surprising, they do not respect the rules there, be happy and enjoy life.

@DianneN I still have leather sandals that were made in a local store in Capri while I waited, they are so pretty. I have seen the photo of the restaurant they have recently discovered, I would like to see it and many other things they have found in the meantime.

@DianneN That is a good start. Hopefully soon we start getting back to normal. They need to get better at dispensing these vaccines.

I've done quite a bit of traveling throughout the US over the past 6 months, so if travel restrictions are lifted I will be visiting friends in Birmingham, UK, and also Paris. Ultimately, I would love to go to Australia one day.

@DianneN Because you're trying to keep yourself from getting Covid. Since I've already had it, I don't have to be as careful as you! So I travel and you stay safe at home.

It could really be happier fi the family will travel together. There are many beautiful places in the Philippines that you can include in your list. I wish you all the happiness. Personally, I want to visit Japan when I have enough fund and it would be safe to travel.

Thank you! My son talked me out of going to Japan. It is filled with radiation that has spread across the Pacific ocean to Alaska and down the west coast to Mexico. We had plans to go there this past October, but cancelled when the pandemic began. I'd love to visit the Philippines one of these days and meet all my myLot friends!
friends!
