Holiday Destinations

abarnes

When I paused to consider this question, I couldn’t pick a favourite destination Gregg, because every destination I’ve visited puts a smile on my face, for different reasons, one might have been the great dive locations, another might have been the people I met or took with me, while others might have been the solitude or cultural difference. So, they’ll favourites for me.
As for when I plan to go back… travel has slipped to the bottom rung of things I channel my money toward. These days, money is focused on the practicalities of day-to-day living.
But I promise I’ll update this as soon as that lottery windfall comes my way. LOL

Japan is an absolutely magical holiday destination, and Hokkaido during ski season is nothing short of extraordinary. Early March is a brilliant time to visit, with powder snow that’s world-renowned—some of the finest you’ll find anywhere. The skiing is sensational, offering slopes for every skill level, from beginners to seasoned pros, all framed by breathtaking landscapes. Beyond the skiing, Hokkaido is a paradise for food lovers, with fresh seafood, warming bowls of ramen, and delicious local specialities like miso soup and Hokkaido milk ice cream that are sure to delight.

What truly sets Japan apart, however, is the incredible hospitality and warmth of the Japanese people. Their kindness and attention to detail make every interaction memorable, whether you're relaxing in an onsen after a day on the slopes or exploring the local markets and culture. It’s an adventure that combines thrill, relaxation, and cultural immersion—a must-visit for anyone looking to create unforgettable memories. Early March can’t come soon enough!

Japan. Have no idea when I will back there let alone going on any kind of holiday. Money is so tight these days there’s little room for anything other then surviving

My favourite destination is Turkey, Antalia in specific, Great beaches fabulous food and weather is perfect but shopping is amazing, I am going back again in few days .

Would love to go back to Hawaii and I think my husband would like to go back and buy more shirts there. I doubt we will be able to afford to go there now as cost of living here has gone through the roof. We are retired and my husband worked for himself so didn't have super. It wasn't around when I was working either so we only have a small amount in savings. Mostly have in case have to have some horrible operation, you never know what is around the corner.

I loved Santorini (Greece), Venice (Italy), Toulon (France), & Isle of Skye (Scotland). I'd love to go back to any of these places if I had the money!

All I can say is FIJI get there nicest people in the world

I loved Hawaii. It was my first overseas trip. I can’t wait to take our children to Hawaii. It will be a little while before we travel internationally as we just don’t have the money. Travel is something that really interests me and I am studying a certificate 3 in travel in the hopes to become a travel agent.

So many places to visit! My favourite holiday destination in Australia is Tangalooma Island.
My favourite international place, Cape Town, South Africa, then Singapore!

Fondest memories are Paris for Christmas, was just magical. Don't know when I'll Christmas overseas again but hoping to go back to Europe and particularly Paris next year.

Teegan

Such a hard choice with so many beautiful destinations in the world! We loved Vietnam, koh samui in Thailand, Mexico and Jamaica and we want to go back to them all! This year and next we will add Maldives and the Mediterranean to our list and can’t wait!

Dear, I have been absolutely amazed and impressed by beautiful beach sides around Gold Coast, Byron bay, Sugar beach and Sunshine coast. For this Christmas long holiday, I will definitely go there again. Fabulous and amazing! Simply

NathanielF

I have never been but the place I’ve wanted to go for years has been a tour around Europe as it has so much culture and beautiful landmarks etc; I am extremely glad to be saying that I am going at the end of January finally!!!

Bigbear

I am enjoying my leisure roadtrips enjoying the roads less travelled following the silo art locales of Victoria , South Australia and rural NSW

freemon

wilsob

Sil sil

I'd love to go back to Italy! Just hire a car and take my time going from town to town...enjoying "local" life, food, festivities, music, churches, wine and the scenery...

London, heading back in October

South India. During July- August time usually it rains there and it is beautiful.

I am currently at one of my preferred Victorian locations - Ballarat - this being about night 500 for myself or family / friends since 2009 out at Sebastapol. I live not far from Phillip Island so that is effectively a stroll to visit but my other two locations are Lakes Entrance and Mount Hotham, not that I get to either very often.

Interstate I aim for Tasmania using either Hobart or Launceston as a day or overnight trip base.

Internationally I prefer New Zealand. Close by in flight duration but lots of variety to do and see on the two islands. Will go again when airfares settle down to within budgettry restraints like they were pre-covid.

We along with everyone else craved to travel again after Covid travelling restrictions were lifted. We were told about a great deal by a friend last year. We thought what the heck it sounds great and is a fantastic deal- we’ll take the chance and book it - along with my friend and hubby. It was back in October 2021 when we booked and things were still uncertain with Covid - as new outbreaks and strains were testing us all! We thought “what the heck, let’s take a chance”! We booked a 7 night all inclusive trip to Fiji for July 2022.
Well it did go ahead and we had the best time ever. It was great spending time with my long time friend- who has lived 6 hours away from me for a long time now. So that was lovely. Fijians are the most happy, welcoming and caring people, I would definitely recommend a trip there and I would definitely return. It’s such a beautiful place and so back to basics- it’s enlightening. We plan to travel around Australia and have travelled most states- but still so much more to see. We will be doing a lot more of Australia in the coming years but I still want to see as much of other places as I can also. We have a trip to Vietnam booked for next July! Can’t wait! Go for it- is my motto.

Vanuatu is really beautiful- saving up now to be able to go back!

Mumof4GC

Europe for sure. Love the history the beauty and food. I love Australia and would never live anywhere else however travel is so amazing and I love it from the time of packing to the excitement of airports and plane travel and new experiences and people. So much fun. I would love to be paid to do it haha

ItsThatGuy

Nashville, once described to me by a local as a drinking town with a music problem

Madzz12

My favourite holiday destination would have to be New York City - there is just no place quite like it! I love the hustle and bustle of the city and that there is always something to do. There are so many incredible restaurants and attractions to visit any time of the year but the city is most special to me during the Christmas season. I am planning on moving to Toronto next year and will be regularly venturing down to NYC every chance I get!

These days I prefer to take my holidays in Australia. There is so much I have yet to visit that I see no reason to travel overseas.

Debbie

There is no 1 favourite place, I love to be anywhere by the beach :)

Leanne6

UK and the rest of Europe.
I want to do a 10 day Tudor tour.
I haven't been yet but keen to do an Aftican safari.
As to when, you'll have to ask my horses. Currently paying off my 2nd $1000 vet bill since July.
At this stage when William becomes King maybe

heeleen

I do not have an absolute favourite but for me anywhere near a beach , somwhere I can hear the ocean, swim in the salt water and walk in the sand, there is nothing better to help you relax.

stewart bookworm

Darwin during the dry season. Hopefully every 3 years

Coffin Bay SA - going back later this year

Love taking cruise around the pacific Islands. At this stage I have not short term plans to go back ... maybe in a couple years (flying anywhere is stressful and not ships leave locally).

Every year I go to Townsville to visit family. Then head to. Magnetic island and tablecloths of pics so when I head home I have. Plenty of images to paint. But my favourite place to visit is Victor Harbour south Australia it has so many great memories of my childhood. It a place i am drawn to. Regularly. Last time I visited. Was before the pandemic and I intend to. Head back next year. With my art materials. To paint. And catch-up with some old school friends. Looking forward to it. Just hope. That by then the issues. With. The airlines are over.

Korea & Singapore. Planning to go again next year.

Mexico, I visited Mexico for a beautiful wedding but didn’t have enough time to tour around as much as I liked. Hoping to go back.

Ziah

My favourite place in the world is Canada, followed closely by the US, then Spain. And no, I will never be going back - unless by some miracle a virus-sterilising vaccine is created that actually stops covid and prevents infection. As one of the vulnerable 47% of the population who is immunocompromised or disabled in some way (and now with covid-induced heart damage), I can no longer leave my home, let alone actually travel anywhere.

tenners

Vietnam! Before covid I had been three years in a row and would be happy to continue going there annually. Unfortunately I don’t have any travel plans in the near future but hopefully I can book something in for the near future :)

funnysag

I want to go visit Europe as it’s one of my favourite places as so much to see and t do o.
I hope to go next year.

Trina32082520

Hawaii

harry31626210

India and Bali. I just love the diversity of India as although it is huge it easy to travel around as the trains are very good although I do reccomend first class travel. The flights are good too but the trains are very sociable.

Bali is different but equally nice. The scenery is splendid and the people are very welcoming. Bali does have lots of religious festivals and there is plenty to do.

Bazza

Personally I love Cairns as my favourite holiday spot. Most times the climate is one to enjoy. Once you go in to Queensland you feel as if you are already on holidays. Darwin is also a favourite destination mainly because of the friendly people and the life style if great. i must mention Tasmania as one of my picks. The highway between Hobart and Launceston is an eye opener with small villages etc. I have been on 2 cruisers but my over all choice is to stay in Australia. I love the place for its overall beauty.

BradH

I have always been fond of Scotland. Such a land of contrasts.

lynneeime

My favourite holiday destination is England. The reason for this is that my extended family live there and I want to get there because a few of my older relatives have cancer and I would love to see them before they die. I went in 1992 with my 3 young children, 7, 4 and 18 months. I didn't realise how expensive it was back then and had to stay with relatives on my dad's side and I was lucky that I got to see some of the south of England. Unfortunately I did not get to see my mum's relatives except for Nanny and Grampy. So that is why I want to go back but I am not sure when this will be. I will probably have to win xlotto.

El

Love the Gold Coast & Sunshine Coast, was there in May but unfortunately was very wet. Off to Bali in November & Turkey/Egypt/Jordan next year all holidays that were postponed from 2020.

margaretjulia

My husband and I love caravanning in South Australia. So many lovely spots to enjoy that are not too far away from Adelaide. Yorke Peninsula and Eyre Peninsula have many great coastal holiday spots for swimming and fishing. Then there is the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Riverland and Langhorne's Creek for wineries. So we hope to ramble around SA on and off during Spring, Summer and Autumn starting in September 2022.

Narelle 32031778

Ireland hopefully soon

Mar

Mexico because it has amazing food, lovely people, and every state and town have many unique attractions. I hope to go back soon.

Meg32320410

Japan - The people are lovely, the food is delicious and the fashion is unique. My parents took me here back in 2018 and I would love to go back once they have opened up to tourists freely again!

Kirstendscg7uioo64

Tasmania – Launceston cataract Gorge is absolutely stunning, it has the longest single span chairlift ride in the world, peacocks and wildlife such as Poteroos & Wallabies and is just an incredibly breathtaking and serene place.

bestshot

K'gari - Fraser Island is my new favourite holiday destination. stayed 5 days earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Stayed at Kingfisher Bay resort in a comfortable, modern villa with family. The full-day 4 wheel drive bus tour and half day cruise were a stand-out. Loads of free activities too with daily guided tours and talks by the rangers. Finish the day with a cocktail at Sunset bar or dine in the main restaurant. Hope to repeat in near future.

Dena31948125

Amsterdam is my favourite ever holiday destination. There is always something new to see or experience.
I revisited this city last month, it was amazing!

aggu

Brisbane Gold coast with family and friends. Stay for 3 days and back.

Amarsh

Fiji hopefully once Covid eases a bit such a beautiful relaxing place for the whole family would love to take my whole family there it’s been 20 years since I’ve been

sophawkins

Vietnam is my favourite!
There are three parts to visit all with their own character. I have only made my way to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh (north and south) so I will be returning to visit Hoi An (the middle) when I can afford it next year.
Ho Chi Minh is separated again into districts, many are quite distinct from each other so if you go, you should make sure to stay in a number of different ones.
Once you are over there it is great value of money, rich in culture and I love eating their classics - Pho and Banh Mi.

Mumof4GC

Going to Germany. Loved the history and taking a short cruise down Rhine was just so gorgeous. Love to go back in a summer get a RV and discover the little villages and people.

Gregg
