Pretend I'm the magic travel fairy and I could grant you to go ANYWHERE in the world for two weeks. Where would you go and why?

The Great Barrier Reef.
Spent a paultry 2 days there once before back in '89, and just scratched the surface.
There's so much more to see.
And I'd definitely have to take my brother w/ me. It's something we still talk about! |

Easy. Trehane Farm, on the Estate of Trevalga, in the West Country Cornwall, UK. My friends Sarah and Phil run a farm there where I spent the happiest days I've known, until now with my husband and little girl. If you could blink me there right now, I'd be in time for homemade cheddar and stone ground wheat bread for tea.

It would be so cool if you could do that! I wouldn't have to fly, flying makes me nervous. I would go to Stockholm and take my hubby with me. He's been wanting to go home for a while and see his friends. And I just love it there anyway.

England, specifically Suffolk. My ancestors were from there. I spent three weeks there in 2006 and it was not nearly enough time to search them out. I did get the chance to walk the paths to the churches they would have attended, which was really rather sweet. But, yes, I would like to go back.

Wow!!
How cool of you!!!  ... there are SO many places I love and would like to be but I would have to say Old Orchard Beach in Maine in a home right on the beach... DH took us there for our first family vacation. We were so poor and had barely enough money to get there and back and eat in the middle, but DH made it happen, a week on the beach! We slept every night to the sound of the waves and played everyday on the beach! DH even somehow managed to figure out a tiny bit of spending money ($20) for his antique loving wife and I bought an old pitiful wicker rocker that needed repairs and an antique baseball for DH and as pitiful as they both might have been, we will treasure them always!!!
*happy sigh*
Yes please travel fairy, I should like to go there to make new memories and savor old ones too!!!
So neat to read everyone's!!! Happy Imagination trips to all!! 
Hugz!

I'd have to say France, the Bordeaux region, since I just had a dream about France last night...everyone spoke English in my dream, they even took American money AND my Starbucks card!

Wow, I love everyone's destinations, I wouldn't mind tagging along for a few. (Sharon I love the idea of walking were Jesus walked)
For me my top two choices would be Ireland, which i have family there. My aunt went once when i was little, when she came back she had told us a story of how she had met a distant relative sitting next to her in this old dirty tub on the side of the road. At least that's how i heard it until years later i thinking about it, my mind picture old porcelain tubs lined up down a dirt road, when i finally realized she said pub not tub. Oh to be a kid again.
I would also love to go to Japan. I'm obsessed with Japanese culture. Well, not obsessed but really intrigued. The way they hold to values and family is amazing. Something we have kinda lost here in America.
I really could keep listing places so i need to stop before i start rambling too much.

Talitha and Karen, what sweet stories! And Rosemary, what a great idea! I'd love to return to Ireland where I spent two weeks with my family because two weeks just was not enough time! We did the "tour-group" thing and I want to go back and do "my-own" thing. My grandmother was our "magic travel fairy" for that trip. She announced to the family that she was going to go and anyone who wanted to tag along, she'd pick-up the tab for them. Same with the Bahamas. Took a cruise there and been on one to Cozumel. (Grandmother didn't foot the bill for the cruises! )
I'd also love to go to Italy and Egypt, Sharon and Alee. So much history!
And, Leslie, my grandmother was planning a trip for the two of us to France when 9/11 happened, so the trip didn't happen. Now my grandmother is a true world traveler! She's visited Ireland, China, New Zealand, Australia, Isreal, Mexico, the Bahamas, nearly every state in the union, including Alaska, and visits her sister in Hawaii at least once a year. She is absolutely blowing my inheritance!!

Oh so many places! I guess I would like to go to Figi where one of my FAVORITE movies was filmed --- "The Blue Lagoon." But I want it to be EXACTLY like it was in the movie- minus the be-heading natives though!!! And no poisonous fish, or poison berries etc.... Nothing bad or dangerous. Just the white sands like powdered sugar, clear blue water, fruit trees, balmy weather, hubby and ME ...sigh... wouldn't a place like that be lovely?

I want to go with Jonni to Trehane Farm...sounds delightful!
Otherwise, I'd go to New Zealand. Seems like my kind of folk over there. Right now I have my fingers crossed on a real live trip to Nepal! Everyone think good thoughts and send a few to the universe that my grant comes through!!! |

Easy one for me. England. London-Northumberland-Cornwall-the Cotswolds...
I have been wanting to go since I was five. I'm 43 now and still waiting. Although hubby did say within the next year...
Well, we'll see.

C'mon Starmeadow. It's beyond delightful...if the cows run too fast (which they never do), and couldn't stop, they'd fall right off this huge cliff into the north Cornwall Sea.
I will be sending good travel vibes your way for Nepal. A friend of ours went and I swore he was going to stay and become a tribesman!

What a sweet dream!!!!
I would love to go to Antarctica, Greenland, Ellesmere Island, Iceland.... I like places that are closer to the poles! I'd LOVE to go back someday to Lappland (finally get to the Nordkapp) and the Yukon and Alaska. It would also be fun to finally visit my friend in Australia and also go to New Zealand.
Sigh.... Karin |

Well I've been twice but I need to go back to Scotland....yes it's become a need. I can't explain it but it was like coming home when we made our first trip. Then I would like a detour to the Cotswolds. They are so beautiful. Parts of France and Italy are also on my dream list and Iceland, Ireland....Australia, New Zealand.
I'd love to go just about anywhere.
It's not about being perfect, but enjoying what you do. Set aside time to be creative.

I would like to go to Scotland for the Dougie MacLean folk music festival. Then I'd like to visit the lace mills, woolen mills and perhaps a trip to the Shetlands to meet some other spinners, lace knitters & Shepherds. Follow that up with a stop at stonehenge and a hop over to Ireland. Celtic music is my thing and that would be a dream come true.

I was just in France last month but that would be where I would go - the fabric of life just felt so familiar to me.
