Where in the world?

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

Three lots of first-class plane tickets and five star accommodation? Wow. That is a wonderful prize to win. Thank you so much!! 

Leaving aside the fact my mom has passed, I’m thinking she would enjoy a holiday in Antigua 🇦🇬 or Barbados 🇧🇧. Somewhere sunny and gorgeous.

With the next pair of tickets I would like to fly a very special person to me up to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to an area of her choice. For many years, she, her husband, and their dogs would take fishing holiday’s up there. They loved the wildlife and the space.

Last but not least, i would use these tickets to take my buddy from Cornwall to Chennai 🇮🇳 I am sure she would enjoy the India experience.

Thanks for that DP @ WP! Very much appreciated I can assure you.

Where on Earth

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

There are 195 countries, deciding on one not to visit was initially difficult. Until I gave up, with 76 ‘so far’ on the list.

I’m not adverse to overseas travel. There have been good times had in lots of different places, over the years. But that was then.

Please do not take it personally if you are from any of the following. Yesterday I gained a new subscriber ( thank you BMA) and I hope I don’t lose them because of what I’m about to say ….

Human and animal rights, or the lack of them. The terrain or simply the place creeps me out, I cite as the reasons behind my call. Here goes …

Russia

China

Iran

Iraq

Israel

North Korea

USA

Afghanistan

South Sudan

Libya

Okay, I’ll stop there. You don’t really want me to go on, I know.

Sadly I would have to add Syria and Lebanon. Two countries I so wanted to visit before the powers-that-be trashed them.

The doors of the asylum opened and out came our world leaders. They should hang their heads in shame…..
