Oops – there are actually 12. In alpha order:
Cruising around French Polynesia – on the MS Paul Gaugin, 6 star, amazing, great stops, leisurely and lovely
Devon and Cornwall – lovely coastline, ruins, clotted cream, nice seaside towns like Bude and Penzance
French river/canal cruising – on a hotel barge, calm, tranquil, great food and wine, interesting places to visit. Try to research who the fellow passengers are likely to be – I ended up with mostly Americans which was a mixed blessing.
Martha’s Vineyard – a classy part of the US . Picturesque island reached by ferry from Woods’ Hole.
Vatulele, Fiji – this was many years ago because I now have political qualms about visiting Fiji post coup/s. Great all inclusive resort. You have your own stretch of beach. If you want something, you put your flag out and a little boat comes to you. Communal dining optional but a lot of fun. At night the staff go off duty and you are just left with an open bar which makes for some interesting cocktails.
I'd like to add Jerusalem to your list. It is filled with holy sites and also some delicious markets and restaurants. Check out this cheese shop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lknF6tZrXE
ReplyDeleteWould love to be able to add it but sadly haven't been there since I was about 7 - and can't remember too much about it
ReplyDeleteplaces really worth visiting! Add more places to this list :)
ReplyDeleteNow that's an idea - I'll give it some thought. Thanks for the comment
DeleteI would love to visit all of these places! :) Great list!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to comment.
DeleteHi there, This is a lovely idea. I did some walking round the coastline in Cornwall and had the best time. You are so right about Las Vegas - it just has to be experienced. I passed through only for a day and a night and it is jaw dropping. Ah Paris - so beautiful and the Loire valley brings back memories of camping holidays when my children were young.
ReplyDeleteI'll visit again!

You are a star for stopping by!
DeleteSee you again soon, Celia
This post is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful place <3
Oh yeah, I really want to go to Monte Carlo too.
Nice post (:
Thank you so much, Stephanie
DeleteI love that there are 12 places in your "top ten" list! I wouldn't have been able to remove any of these places from the list either. Beautiful photos of some of the world's best spots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that I should go to Martha's Vineyard the next time that I'm at Cape Cod. Usually, I spend all of my time in Falmouth and Woods Hole.
I'm so thrilled you've been to Paris. I don't think I need any other destinations. I just live to go back and back and back and..............

So glad you took the time to make your lovely comment.
DeleteThanks for your recent input on Looligaggin In Provence at The Nomad Architect Travel Blog http://thenomadarchitect.blogspot.com/. I love your places and your pix.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your very nice comment.
DeleteI've never been to Martha's Vineyard and confused the picture with Monte Carlo (I was thinking - surely it's not that built up!).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful places.
Glad you liked the list. Now I have just got to get to some of them...
