Aussie and New Caledonia.

New Caledonia fully wasn't what I was expecting, but once I got over that I loved it. Love Sydney, hated Brisbane, and found the Gold Coast okay.

Only left the country once to visit my partner (now DH) in Florence, Italy. Loved it so much we are making a permanent move there next year!
Now I just have to get on to learning the lingo properly - I don't think my perfect rendition of common italian insults will get me very far

we did a day trip from Munich to Neuschwanstein castle, so not all our time was there. I always find that when I tell people I didn't like Venice they look at me as though I am mad! They always tell me how lovely it was when they went there (which I am sure it could have been ) but it wasn't when I was there!

Visited:

Fiji (only a 6 hour stop-over, but it counts! )
Hawaii
China

Best Place: Standing on the Great Wall
Worst Place: Chinese cities off the main drag - SO dirty and smelly and hot!

Hawaii wasn't what I expected - it was a lot busier! But was a great trip none the less.

I'd love to go to one of the Cook Islands for a short break, will have to convince DH.

Best place: Thailand been so many times, I love it there, would move and live there tomorrow if I could take all my family with me.

Worst place: Oldham lived there for 6 months, it was a total hole but we had no choice as it was for DH's job. There was a woman stabbed to death just up the road from us by the lady next door to her, all because their kids had a disagreement and also everyone was so racist......it was a long 6 months!!!!
