The Sunday Five: Travel Dreams


1: If there were no limits, where would you go today? 

2: Where have you long dreamed of going, that you have not gone to? 

3: Apart from where you live, where do you feel most at home? 

4: Where have you traveled to the most times? 

5: How would you like to travel across the continent? 

My answers: 

1: If there were no limits, where would you go today? Italy - that is where we leave for tomorrow. 

2: Where have you long dreamed of going, that you have not gone to? Japan.  

3: Apart from where you live, where do you feel most at home? London. 

4: Where have you traveled to the most times? Florida, several times a year when my parents were alive. 

5: How would you like to travel across the continent? I would like to drive it, but in very short travel days, maybe 100-150 miles a day average. 

Please share your answers in the comments.

    1. A slow drive across the back roads of the country

  6. 1. I'd like to go back to England in general and London in particular. So much to see!
    2. I never did make it to Iceland, so I'd go there.
    3. I feel most at home in Canadian cities because there's no culture shock or adjustment. My fave cities to visit are Victoria, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Quebec City, Halifax and yes, okay, Toronto too, I guess.
    4. Internationally, the place I've gone to most often on repeat holidays is Maui (about 4 or 5 times).
    5. If I were to go across Canada, I would drive. It's a helluva trip, especially across northern Ontario. Nothing but the same rock, tree, and lake repeated about a billion times.

    5: How would you like to travel across the continent? Train, hopping on or off as the spirit moved me, or small RV van.

  9. Such a fun set of questions! 1: No limits? I'd be on a flight to Morocco by morning. 2: I've been dreaming about Japan for years and keep finding reasons to push it back. 3: Istanbul feels like home to me in a way I still can't quite explain. 4: Southeast Asia, I keep circling back. 5: Slow train all the way, definitely.
