I don't think i'd want to fly.. . The only country i'd b interested in, and we're be asked not to fly there, is Hong Kong..
Unlike some other places, there's zero dispute that Hong Kong is not, in fact, a country. Just FYI.

Japan opens for a very few visitors nowI would love to get back to Japan as soon as it will be possible. Or as soon as it will be enjoyable.
It's an expensive, challenging, long travel and wasting it because of current limitations would be unworthy
haha, problems are always there, be positive and happyNone really... I have a hard time even thinking about it because there’s too many other problems
I always wish i were old, then i have so much time for going outThere is No Country for Old Men
The country of your backyard can be a wonderful destination.At home. I dont like to travel. I’m a homebody.
Well, it has been a while, but at last I can say "mission accomplished", having trekked the Annapurna Circuit last December.Hoping to visit Nepal for trekking. But frankly now I am glad just to be getting out of the house.
Well done. Looks beautiful.Well, it has been a while, but at last I can say "mission accomplished", having trekked the Annapurna Circuit last December.

My wife doesn’t travel at all. So holidays are just a pipe dream. I get the odd couple of nights away with some mates once or twice a year. That’s about it.My wife has no desire to go out of the country and her...[looks over my shoulder] physical disability kind of puts some limits on what we can do. I'd love to go to the US Territories. Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, etc. But honestly, there's a lot of the mainland US I haven't seen yet.
If you take the time to look, you can find a lot of interesting things near home. I just discovered that the childhood home of Liberty Hyde Bailey is now a museum and within driving distance! That's going to be a summer road trip!
I’ve reached a point in my life (70) where the travel is more of a bother than the fun of the destination. When we were young, we always did our own thing, own planning and transportation, I’d rent a car, driving on the wrong side of the road, no problem. When I hit 60, we did our first European river cruise, which was great, and since have done 2 Med cruises, which were excellent. Warning to anyone considering this kind of cruise, they are populated by mostly old people. At 60 I was among the youngest on the boat. Last year was an Athens to Istanbul cruise, there were more of the 30-50 age group. The air travel was almost a complete downer, from Texas to the Med and back, unrealistic schedules, inadequate stop over time, and uncomfortable. One exception, the Delta A330 from Paris to Atlanta in Comfort Plus, a class not available on European airlines was nice in comparison... I haven't travelled outside of BC (Canada) since 2012 .... if I could be "transported" (without all the hastles of travelling to get there), at this very moment, it would be to a beach somewhere in the South Pacific.
We had planned a road trip from Paris to Southern France to visit famous gardens as per Monty Don (Gardner’s World) recommendations, but that was the year COVID hit, and was cancelled. Next year it might be the Med on Viking or the road trip as mentioned… 🤔Ooooh.
I've travelled widely, and love travelling (although, I will readily concede that air travel, once so exciting, is now something of a drag).
As to the question where would I like to travel to this minute? Southern Europe.
Japan, my favorite country in the far East…Japan looks amazing -- never have been
What part of the US? If you like outdoors, mountains, and relatively cool except for the desert portions, I’d suggest start in Minneapolis, and head West. I’d include some portion of S.Dakota, Montana, Oregon, Nevada and Washington State.I want to travel USA in this summer. And I will take SAT exam after 2 years. 🙂

Culturally interesting, better in the Spring or Fall, or even Winter.What about New Orleans?
That is one part of the US that would interest me, - the culture and cuisine sound absolutely fascinating; New England, and, some of the Civil War battlefields, would also be of interest to me.
