I wish I was traveling right now. Do you?  

I went to Grand Cayman in August. I would love to be back on 7 Mile Beach right this very moment with a drink in my hand and my toes buried in the warm white sand.

It is cold, dark and rainy where I am right now. I would rather be basking in a sunny climate or in hot weather on a palm fringed beach or a tropical island. I love to see gently waving palm trees, white sand and an aquamarine sea. I like to go snorkeling around a beautiful coral reef and to see friendly fish, small sharks and sting rays. I enjoy seeing native wildlife like dolphins and manatees. I would like to be staying in a thatched beach hut. At night it would be magical to hear the soft waves gently dancing at the shore and feel a cool breeze from the sea. Overhead it would be lovely if the sky was lit up with a bright moon and many sparkling stars. I love to travel and have been to many tropical islands like in the Maldives, the Seychelles, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands and Samoa. I am sorry to hear that you father in law has died. I hope that the funeral will go all right.

Well, the weather in my city is moderate right now but I am sitting in my office cabin with the air conditioner blowing above my head at its coldest and I wana go to a warmer place. I would also love to cruise the Caribean. I love those beaches there. I would also like to go to Australia. I'm not very sure if I could make it to these places but would try my best to make it sometime.

Even though its not so sunny today here in California its not as cold as other places. I like the weather here. I would however like to travel to the carribean, Alaska, Ireland, Scotland and England one day.

I live in Bali, the tropical Island. We just got a hard rain last week and the sun is just shining again these two days. The temperature rise from moderate to be very hot in the afternoon. It is clear and sunny but I would prefer it will be a bit cloudy. So that it would not be too hot in the afternoon..

actually i would love to visit paris maybe in a couple of months (their spring is about 6 weeks earlier than ours)
i live in southern ontario canada and while i would like to be somewhere warm and sunny, i would still have to come home to this!

I remember being on a cruise with my best friend. We danced, drank and just carried on. What fun that was! Whenever I need to 'leave' I always take that stroll down that beach in Nassau. Even with the snow I can stay warm and happy.

I'm sorry to hear of your father-in-law's passing.

I grew up in the Louisville, KY area but married in 2005 and moved to Chicago. Brrrrrrrrrrr!!! Before I got married I always thougth my now husband was crazy for "needing" a vacation in winter. Into my third Windy City winter, I now understand what he meant! Today we are under a wind chill advisory. It is overcast and 12 degrees right now and a balmy high of 19. These are all BEFORE the wind chill is factored in. We're expecting snow today.

My husband and I actually met on a cruise in St. Thomas (on a cruise, same ship) in the winter and we go every year on a cruise in the winter. It is a much needed get away.

You can find great bargains on Caribbean cruises in the winter, most especially if you can get away withing a month or so. Check out web sites such as Cruise Critic and they will point you in the direction of good pricing.

Where I'd rather be? The Caribbean! Actually, I will be heading back there at the end of next month and I am really excited to go back. We're going to Aruba and Curacao. Never been to either before.

My question I ask the natives is, "Since you live in paradise, where do YOU go to get away?" :)
