I would love to repeat the wonderful trip our family took three years ago to London and Paris. Our three adult children really bonded. It is precious to be able to spend that time with children as their activities, schooling and jobs start taking over the time that used to be ours. The Hiltons in those areas were perfect for us and we would love a repeat of that special time.

To the Maldives with my husband and son who have just taught me the wonders of snorkelling whilst in Egypt.
We would celebrate my 50th birthday in April, our Silver wedding in May and the fact that my son and I will both graduate from University at the same time with our degrees!

What a year!!!

I would love to return to Hilton Maldives Rangali Island - The true paradise on earth. Snow white sandy beaches and clear turquise water combined with stunning service and atmosphere - the memories and a dream of return keeps me going in between my vacations, only waiting for my dream to come true. If there is a paradise on earth, I've found it...

As always I dream of visiting one of Hilton Spa resorts... The most favourite is HuaHin Thailand, but in a week I am going to experience Hainan Resort.
Perfect service, fantastic dining facilities and spa activities- that is what makes a marvellous holiday.
See you all at Hilton, anywhere in the world!

Mine is not an exact destination but a state of mind. My destination is to rediscover me. With my busy life I have lost contact with the real me. I want to spend a few days lying in the sun, being turned over every 2 hours, served cool drinks, reading a good book and just doing nothing. By slowing my life down to absolute luxury and no time table - turning off the cell phone is a must- I will have time to return to what is the real me.

I would love to return to Antigua. We had our honeymoon there, and had we known how beautiful it was, would have gotten married there too. I want to return for our wedding anniversary, and maybe renew our vows on one of the 366 beaches. A truly magical island and worth every penny.

Its my 40th Birthday this year and I'd like to plan a couple of weeks trip to Scandinavia - Heading first into Copenhagen (which i last visited 27 years ago!), We then sail across to Gothenburg, work our way to Stockholm before cutting across to Norway and visiting Oslo. From Oslo fly across to Helsinki in Finland before heading back to the UK. Scandinavia is such a beautiful place (i have been to stockholm, oslo and copenhagen previously) and the people there are fantastic - i cant think of a better place to go!

The ideal destination for an exclusive short break would be the Waldorf in New York. What a way for an introduction to an amazing city - staying in an iconic hotel which has seen so much of history and is history itself. This Grande structure is almost a personification of a truly amazing city. An ideal base for exploring, sampling, enjoying and tasting the delights of NY whilst wrapping you in complete luxury.

What a way to visit a city!

I would like to go to the Maldives later this year with my wonderful husband and 6 year old son. I am celebrating my 40th birthday in September and it is not only a special age, but one I thought I would never get to see as I had a brain tumor removed 2 years ago, and the recovery has been HARD!!! I would especially love to be fit and well enough to be in a bikini on a white beach and lap up every moment at the Hilton Maldives as it has been my dream since I was a little girl to go to an exotic island!

So the question is where and why/for 2008? That's a simple answer for my age,
the goal has to be 2009.Where, so many places,but a good start would be mas' carnival in Trinidad,a few weeks to explore "Viggie",grenadines-,St.Luc'ia,and end in the B.V.I.'s for a LOOOOnnggg exploration would sure be a lifetime of a year to find the answer to "How many colors of blue exist in the world?" You just gotta' know this would be FUN just for the folks you'd meet....
