Tiny village on the West Coast of Ireland where my Dad is from. We spend our summers there, have one heading off to college there next year and plan on spending a lot more time there as the kids hopefully all choose to go to college there.

What kind of long range plans are you talking about?

Im one of the posters who gets pulled by Africa. I go at least once every 3 years and this year I've 2 trips planned 10 months apart. If there were direct flights to Nairobi, I'd go for a long weekend if I could. If i didntnhavr a family, I'd be living there.

That is monumentally pretentious.

I expect you'd have a bit of fun absorbing the dust when so many people around you are desperate to escape it and everything else which goes with living there.

Iceland. I immediately felt homesick after returning from my first trip there, and have never been able to shake the feeling. It's a rare, magical place.

Our special place is Positano. We just fell in love - so beautiful and so relaxing. We went once and had to return the following year. Now we are living farther away, but still scheming how to get back. Definitely my magnet...

South Africa. I get antsy if I've been away more than several years.

Cape Cod. Love the water, beaches, beach grasses. We are so much more active and relaxed when we are there (which is not just for vacations). I love it all times of year.

Taos, NM. We try to go every year. It's not for everyone though, it's really funky and not fancy.

Have you ever been there? Experienced the dusty savannah crowded with amazing wildlife? The hot African sun and the heat at twilight?

Just sayin.....

People definitely get bitten by the African bug.
