Now life is getting back to Normal, and we can spread our wings and travel again. Where is the best destinations you have been to, or plan on going in the next year. I have always wanted to go to Alaska so doing a cruise next year to Vancouver and then a 7-night cruise around Alaska

We need to really review how travel happens. We are killing travel destinations with our love of them. Back from 2 months in Canada - wildfires pretty much everywhere. Hoards of tourists in the Rockies - buses spewing diesel particulate, too many feet trampling nature, the rubbish, the consumerism………ironic I know as I was part of the problem.
There were too many tourists and the landscapes are getting crushed, the animals surrounded by badly behaved humans, the rubbish, the toilet paper with the detritus it comes with. It made me realise that travel was becoming just another form of consumerism.
Destinations in demand need to control visitor numbers or areas of natural beauty are just going to turn into grimy nature theme parks.
I don’t have any answers to how to do it, but conversations need to start.

I've been enchanted by Iceland's natural beauty in the past. For next year, I'm aiming for the Amalfi Coast in Italy, a blend of coastal charm, gourmet delights, and history. Here's to exciting adventures ahead!

Ohh I would want to travel to Europe

We were lucky enough to do that trip, it was sensational enjoy !!

Japan is one of my favourites! Super clean, safe and easy to get around. Plus it's different enough to be exciting and have a bit of a culture shock.

I've visited many spectacular places in my life. I cannot think of a holiday I haven't enjoyed. I think Antarctica is probably the most spectacular. I have been to the Peninsula twice and to the Ross Sea once. I am heading back there this year but round to the Weddell Sea to see the Emperor penguin chicks.
I enjoy small ship expeditions to remote places. One trip was sailing up the middle of the South Atlantic calling in at various remote volcanic islands including Tristan da Cunha, St Helena and Ascension Islands

Not long back from Egypt, Jordan & Turkey, amazing trip which we were supposed to take in 2020 but had to postpone. Would love to travel to lots of places and as we aren't getting any younger need to get going.

I travelled to San Francisco. Went on the hop and off bus and managed to see San Francisco in a 2hour period.

As much as I'd like to go back to Europe, I think most of mine for a while will be here or Asia.

I have started travelling to those places in Australia I always meant to go to and didn’t get there -Uluṟu, Mona, Daintree, Kimberleys, Wilpena Pound, Eyre Peninsula, SA Riverland

Hi Mae going in 3 weeks to Canada and doing the Alaska, Rockies and so on can't wait, we should have done this trip in 2021 when it was cancelled.

By the way the date you posted this is my birthday, 24th October, born at 10 minutes past 10, which is very close, but no cigar!

I have always wanted to visit Greece and see all those houses cobbled into the side of the mountain. I can’t help but wonder what would happen if there was an Earthquake. Wondering about them doesn’t cause them thank goodness.

My husband and I cruised from Hamburg to Spitsbergen (Longbean) Norway a few years ago. It was magical and we were closer to the Artic Circle than the distance between Adelaide and Sydney. The fiords were breathtaking and needing a rifle to protect from polar beers if leaving the small town limits was also breathtaking. Would love to repeat the experience.
wezo
have done that,what a great experience,ice glaciers everywhere,whales following us,stop in Junoe,a wild west town,well worth the travel time to get there

margaretjulia

I just came back from the Gold Coast, very nice weather and the tourist spots clean and inviting. I had to cancel my trip to Melbourne so I have credit for a plane trip.

Hard to decide and getting better deals

I don't think we are getting back to normal nor will we ever. I am planning a trip to Surfers Paradise Queensland for our 50th Wedding Anniversary.

Just came back from a cruise to New Zealand in March, wrong time of year but enjoyed myself.... only disappointment is I came home with the Flu

Life is not getting back to Normal.

My 'normal' is similar to organised chaos - hasn't changed much.

I just returned from London and am planning to go to the US in September. I'm also going interstate next month and I cannot wait!

My partner and I currently have 1 month trip booked around Europe (who wouldn't be up for going away to Europe) in 2 months. The ideal time at the peak of European Summer with friends and endless eating. With the days flying by I will be on the flight in no time.

I would love to go to Canada, I am planning on going after school is all finished. I might travel alone or with friends that would be interested. My plan is to work in the snow mountains there and spend the season snowboarding and skiing.

I would love to go to Fiji - or any pacific island to be honest. Warm water and lots of swimming and snorkelling etc.
PGS
I was going to Fiji about 2 decades back. Tried 3 times.
1st try: military coup. cancelled.
2nd try: military coup. cancelled.
3rd try: cyclone.
decided it was better for the Fijians if I didn't try again.
