1 - Japan (Tokyo, Disneyland, Mt Fuji, Kyoto)
2 - Hawaii (in reality I think we'll combine with the Yosemite trip)
3 - Yosemite
4 - Somewhere for scuba diving

But honestly at the minute I'm daydreaming more about our regular holidays. Disney world. Weekends in Paris. Driving to Calais for a day shopping and eating. Canaries for a week in the sun.

Having saved money this year from not going anywhere I hope we can do a ‘big’ one next year but really can’t decide which one:
-Japan
-Florida Keys
-Canadian Rockies
-Caribbean island
-Nashville/Memphis/New Orleans (probably save this one for our 25th wedding anniversary without the teens)

Really keen on a safari of some kind, and a Nile cruise! And diving not done and diving yet.

So much to look forward to!

Also South America generally

Bucket List holidays? A few weeks into Lockdown 0.1 my husband realised that I was becoming more and more frustrated that all our travel plans for 2020 were disappearing.
He found a map of the world and pinned it on the kitchen wall. He handed me a dart and told me to throw it at the map - where ever it landed, we would go there for a holiday when all this is over!
I threw - and - we are going to be spending our holiday behind the fridge!

I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to take long haul holidays over the past 15 years however there are still many more places I want to go and places I want to revisit. If I could plan for 2021 this would be my wish list.

  1. Northern Australia or Western Australia.
  2. Patagonia
  3. Iceland
  4. New Zealand
  5. Madagascar


In reality next year I would be happy with 2 weeks anywhere.

Safari in Africa
Japan
Take DC to Disneyland
The Moomin theme park in Finland (for me, not DC)
Croatia looks very nice
Israel if it was safe enough

I would like to go back to Rome and New Zealand, but that seems a waste when there is so much of the world I haven't seen
