Central Otago through to Fiordland in New Zealand. Would love to figure out a way of living there.

Dear Examinator,

The purpose of this thread was to invite people
to share their experience of their favourite
travel destination - and why?

You said yours was - "home." Because that is where
the heart is. Fair enough.

Now, please share the experience with us.
Describe your home.

Dear Hasbeen,

Thank You for sharing your truly unique experience.
Few people would have the opportunity to experience
such a place.

Dear We Are Unique,

A Vietnam bike tour sounds like a great way to see
the country. Friends of ours love that part of the
world - and travel there regularly. Just make sure that
you advise local and Australian authorities of your
itinerary.

Dear Suze,

It's my dream to one day visit London.
Reading your post actually gave me itchy feet.
My sister-in-law is from the UK and I
can identify with the depth of your feelings.
One day soon, I plan to visit Europe - and
possibly make a trip to Lithuania as well -
to walk in the steps of my ancestors.

Dear Pericles,

Rome also entices me - greatly!
But then a beach in St. Thomas also sounds sublime!
(sigh).

Dear StG,

Fiordland in New Zealand - would be breath-taking!
Maybe next year ...

I've travelled heaps, around Europe, parts of Africa and parts of
Asia. Then time in the US.

In 1995 I took a trip up the coast of Eastern Australia and fell
in love with Airlie Beach. The Whitsunday Islands are quite
spectacular IMHO.

No doubt there has been a lot of development there since then,
but the natural beauty of the place should still be there.

Pericles, its time for you to get out of the ratrace and go and
put your feet up on one of those subtropical islands :)

Dear Yabby,

The Whitsundays - would not be hard to take.
Whether its - Airlie Beach, or - Hamilton or
Daydream Island - they all have the makings of a
perfect holiday.

But I'm with Pericles - basically an urban creature
at heart. Although, I might toss in the towel for
the Greek Islands.

I too have lived in/travelled in Europe, Asia and USA in my younger days [pre 40] and have such fond memories that I have devoted hundreds of hours in making a web record [most of which is private].

However I have also used the resources of Google and GoogleEarth to go back to these places AND places that time/budget precluded me from seeing.

I continue to record the magic of such places on my web sites so please see www.oilsearth.com and www.panosearth.com if you have a hankering for travel.

If you have a favourite spot on this planet please let me know and I will do what I can to feature it at my sites [it really starts with a 360 deg pano, so please get out there and start clicking]

and Foxy,

you can go to town on Greek Islands at www.oilsearth.com
