New Zealand and yes I have had past visits. Beautiful land and beautiful people.
Thanks so much for sharing @kiwiphile ! New Zealand truly is a gem — it’s wonderful to hear you’ve experienced its beauty firsthand. There’s something so special about the landscapes and the warmth of the people. Do you have a favorite spot or memory from your past visits?
 
I too am disabled and wish I could go back to Phoenix (Sun City) to see my folks before they pass. I don't think it will happen. I just hate it when the only time you really see all of your family is at a funeral.
Thank you so much for opening your heart and sharing that @NIBOR0 . It’s heartbreaking when distance and health challenges make it hard to be with the people we love most. You're absolutely right — it's such a sad reality that families often only gather during times of loss. Please know you're not alone in feeling this way. Sending you strength, comfort, and hope that connections with your loved ones, even from afar, continue to bring you peace. 💙
 
During my lifetime, I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world (business and pleasure) - but if I had a magic wand, today I’d transport myself to MY ‘happiest place on earth’, Yosemite. Originally named “Ahwahnee” by the indigenous Miwok peoples, it meant “peaceful valley”.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful reflection — and for the stunning photos @lindadominguez ! How wonderful that you’ve had the chance to see so much of the world, and yet it’s Yosemite — Ahwahnee, the peaceful valley — that calls to your heart. There’s something truly magical about that place. We love that it holds such meaning for you, and we’re grateful you brought a little of its beauty into our day. 🌿✨
 
I would be in Bermuda. The climate I tropical, the people are friendly, and to go everywhere on motor bikes .
Thanks so much for sharing @ghandi44 ! Bermuda sounds like an absolute dream — tropical breezes, friendly faces, and exploring on motorbikes? Yes please! It’s easy to see why that would be your ideal destination. Have you been before, or is it still on the wish list? 🏝️🏍️😊
 
Kawai, Hawaii, with my family. I live the garden island. they beautiful colors and all of the free roaming chickens.
Thank you so much for sharing @tennis ! Kauai truly is a paradise — the lush greenery, vibrant colors, and yes, those charming free-roaming chickens! How lovely that you’d want to experience it with your family. It really is the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and soak in nature’s beauty. 🌺🐓💚
 
Fiji , haven't been there
Thanks so much for sharing @opossum ! Fiji is such a beautiful choice — crystal-clear waters, friendly locals, and that laid-back island vibe. Even just imagining it feels like a holiday! Here’s hoping it makes its way from your wish list to a future adventure. 🌴✨😊
 
I would be with one of sons and their families. They live all over the world. 😥
Thank you so much for sharing @Ali Rae . That feeling of wanting to be close to loved ones — especially when they’re spread across the globe — is something many can relate to. Family time is truly precious, and your words speak straight to the heart. Sending you a big virtual hug. 💞🌍
 
I would want to go to Germany to visit with cousins. Unfortunately since I take care of my elderly mom who is blind and disabled I currently cannot travel there. My mom has been there several times but I never had the time when she went.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Germany sounds like a wonderful place to reconnect with family, and it’s clear how much that trip would mean to you. The love and dedication you show in caring for your mom is truly admirable — it’s a beautiful act of selflessness. Hopefully, one day you’ll get the chance to make that special journey. 💙

Thanks so much for sharing @Arkie98 ! A nice, warm island sounds like the perfect getaway — sunshine, gentle breezes, and the soothing sound of waves. Do you have a particular island in mind, or is it more about the feeling of being somewhere peaceful and tropical? 🌞🏝️
 
At this time I am content right here at home.
Thank you so much for sharing @Carol * ! There’s something truly special about feeling content and at peace right at home. Sometimes, that’s the best place to be. Wishing you continued comfort and happiness in your own space. 🏡💛
 
I would be at the Cape (as in Cape Cod)!!! My most favorite place on the planet ❤️
Cape Cod really is something special — no wonder it’s your favorite place on earth! There’s such a charm and beauty there that captures the heart. We’d love to hear what makes it so magical for you sometime! ❤️🌊 Thank you for joining the conversation @dking195408 !
 
Destin Florida on the beach!! I ❤️the beach, and Destin is just a car ride away. No planes, trains ! Just a leisurely, “stop when you want to ride to “ the Gulf.
Destin sounds like the perfect beach escape — love that it’s close enough for a relaxed, no-fuss trip where you can just stop and enjoy the journey. There’s nothing quite like feeling the sand and sea without the hassle of planes or trains. Sounds dreamy! 🏖️🚗❤️Thank you for sharing @diflicimay !
 
We spent a month in Hawaii 7 years ago. We had a wonderful time. I would like to go again.
Thank you so much for sharing @Gibb ! A whole month in Hawaii sounds absolutely amazing — no wonder you’d want to go back. There’s something so magical about that place that stays with you. Do you have a favorite memory or spot from your time there? 🌺🌴
