Ah, love Ireland. My wife and did a 10 day road trip in Ireland. We booked a hotel for the first night and the last night only. Visited what we wanted when we wanted to. Best way to travel.

Saw Bono and the Edge in the Octagon Room on our first night in Ireland.

Watched the ponies play on the beaches of Ballyconeely.

Walked amongst the stone circles of the Beara Peninsula.

Pints in Kelly's Cellars in Belfast.

Would go back in a heartbeat.

I lived a hundred miles away from there and been many times, winter and summer.

It is amazing.

I'd say our favorite 'go to' vacation destination would be Cabo, San Jose del Cabo, that is. Laid back and comfortable environment. Altho, we can't say enough about our Italian road trip 3 years ago already. Talk about it often and would go back in a heart beat. Amalfi Coast was awesome..Food awesome, everything was awesome. I could go on and on..
Then of course we've been on some fabulous cruises as well. One of which was out of Venice and cruising the Med. So many places...so little time.

Hmm...I've seen the vast majority of Europe, and lived in a few countries (Romania, Italy, Austria, Holland).

Italy is still love at first sight. There are plenty more places I wish to see. Curacao was splendid, as was Cuba.

Defintely overdue with some travels - let's see what this year brings

Pretty easy I was there in 2018, for two weeks. Had zero issues getting around Tokyo, ordering food, using the rail network. I would highly recommend it.

Stayed at Six Senses Con Dao on our honeymoon. Outstanding. Vietnam is gorgeous and the food and fresh fruit is out of this world.

Japan but specifically Tokyo hands down...only country I've visited where after 1-2 trips I don't feel like I've checked the boxes. Have made it 10-20 days a year 2014-2019 Covid broke my streak...Can't wait to get back there!

I have a vacation house in Sardinia (Italy) and I can't wait to get there at the end of July as I missed my Easter trip because of Covid.

That's great you got a chance to stay at Six Senses Con Dao. that's the best thing about staying there are the food and fresh fruits. Six Senses like to plan their menu around what they grow so you know that all their vegetables are always fresh and without preserves. You should try Nha Trang when you get the chance.
