Thanks Tex... hehe... we seem to have different views on places.
Bali.. well i have been there after a bomb, same as Paris after a bomb, but hey one could go off in our own backyard, look at London or anywhere for that instance. Can't go worrying about the might happens. Its still a lovely place to go, but they don't have good beaches unless you travel to the smaller ones.
China.. my brother goes there every 6 weeks on buying trips, my parents used to go there often and mum was there a few months ago with my neice on their own, always have a ball, she is 80 and never goes in a group, but yes, they are always being watched.
NZ.. mmm.. could maybe have to drive a bit to see what i want, and i don't really want to have to go doing that exploring stuff more like little day trips. Perhaps because i am tired now, don't like to think of being an explorer then, but i do love to do that, i just come home exhausted from those kind of holidays, as i tend to walk and walk for about 18 hours then.
Tahiti... i don't know what pics you have seen but this one doesn't show over population, or bad beaches etc. Similar to Phuket, you really have to go to the smaller islands to see the pristine beaches etc, but this looks ideal to me.
Hawaii... now thats what i call over populated, however i have a cousin who will not go to any place but there. She works for a travel industry and that is always her place of choice.
mmmm... Thanks for your input, anywhere else would be greatly appreciated.
Poor Billy, I didn't know he was in a nursing home, perhaps i could visit him and take my turn at the ablutions etc.. hehe
