For me, Sydney, so I can see my pal of 50 years, before he dies.
Then the west of Canada and New Zealand for travel.

Tuvalu

Incredibly isolated island country, takes days of travel to get there normally.

25 May 2009 the play off final i would love to relive one of the finest days in our history just one more time it's was a brilliant day but it's just a blur to me, reliving that day and soaking up all it had to offer would do just fine for me.

If we're going to relive a fine Burnely day from the past in that division, the last day of the season at PNE in 1972-73 is unbeatable. Between 15,000 and 18,000 Clarets at Deepdale, the total takeover of their end, followed by the Division 2 title. Days don't get better than that.

Think I'd like a trip back to that game.
Was on with my dad & so wrapped up in the euphoria of the teams achievement, I don't recall as much of the match itself as I'd like.

North Sentinal Island would be a laugh
Your laugh might not last the full 24 hours. Probably nearer 24 minutes before the locals dismember you and toss your remains into the Bay of Bengal.

at that game but my recollection of it is very very vague due to a very large intake of alcohol

Good one. I stayed totally dry. I was only 19. Blackburn last season could have been as good if they'd let Burnley have as many tickets as they wanted. Of course, it was fantastic anyway. UTC

I've been fortunate to see many wonderful sights, but one that's not yet been mentioned I think, that has got to be right up there is:

Milford Sound, New Zealand

Scotland or Canada?

Only been to one of them…. And it was spectacular.
Most definitely Banff, Alberta, CA! 🇨🇦

That’s the one I visited. Words fail me when trying to explain how perfect Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper are. Truly beautiful doesn’t seem enough….

I would definitely recommend Banff.

I visited during a 6 week trip to Vancouver with my parents and part of the visit consisted of a 3 week road trip through the Rocky Mountains.

We generally stayed at Campsites on the journey but spent 2 nights at the Banff Springs Hotel (which is quite famous in itself).

An afternoon was spent rowing on Lake Louise and swimming in the hot springs.

However, I'm assuming that the area is much more commercialised as my trip took place in 1976 !

Was in these places last year, but so sad to see a third of Jasper destroyed by wildfires this summer
