Kyoto is worth a vist, especially this month. The leaves around the temples are all turning to red and yellow. We took a long walk along the mountain on the east side of the city yesterday, strolling through Kiyomisudera Temple, Ryozen Kannon, Yasaka shrine, and Maruyama Koen, with a brief stop in a lovely little tea house along the way. Please do come. We'll be happy to show you around!
![]() I'd like to return to Palau Tioman island off the coast of Malaysia. We've spent several months there over the years but haven't been back in almost 10 years. It's a very tiny little island, and the location shoot site for the "Bali Hai" scenes from 'South Pacific.' It really is a tropical paradise! Or at least it was... These days they probably even have electricity! Stitchawl |

OOh, I agree with just about every place Iʻve never been. But topping my list:
Norway Oz New Zealand Thailand Japan return to Germany And.... Chicago for the summer!! I havenʻt seen family in a while and thatʻs my main focus right now. Who wants to bankroll me and a few kids the flights over? They seem to be running around 800-1200 round trip.

Maybe I can narrow it down a bit
Vietnam - because I would love to do some cooking classes there Chile & Argentinia - because I heard so much about it Southern Part of South Africa - I sooo would love to see the animals in their habits (haven't decided which of the countries yet, although South Africa most likely as I could get hubby there to 'watch some rugby' )Antarctica - before it becomes an even bigger rubbish dump |
