The best holiday in the world… for me. AKA, where on Earth shall I take a much-needed holiday?
Question by J C: The best holiday in the world… for me. AKA, where on Earth shall I take a much-needed holiday?
Obviously I don’t just want a load of random suggestions: I’d like some well-travelled users’ informed opinions based on my personal preferences, so here goes…
I live in the UK.
I love to do exciting things on my holidays.
I also would also like to relax a little on this holiday.
I really want to learn SCUBA diving and put it into practice immediately.
I am extremely arachnophobic.
I like driving and unusual train and ship journeys.
I love ancient cultures like the Egyptians and particularly the Aztecs.
I’m interested in Pirates.
I really want to see Macchu Piccu, but am worried about encountering gigantic arachnids (this does not sound like an enjoyable holiday to me).
I have been to Mexico and don’t fancy going somewhere I’ve been to…
I’ve also already been to Japan, China, US Tri-state area, Minnesota, California, Nevada, Florida, Italy, Spain, France, Greece, Germany, India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Tunisia, Ontario, and Sweden.
I have never been to South America and really want to, but reently found out about the huge spiders. Would love to see the Amazon: fat chance of that now though.
I hear Thailand is incredible, but that there are also many spiders everywhere.
I want an amazing holiday experience with beautiful views, good weather, amazing culture, SCUBA-learning opportunities, adventure outings.. and preferably no spiders!
I know, toughie, huh?
Thanks for your advice, in advance. (No, I won’t get hypnotherapy but I am trying to overcome it without it.)
