    If money was no object I would travel to Australia via Singapore and Bali, stopping at both places. I would love to cruise into Sydney Harbour. Once in Australia I would visit Sydney, Perth (to see relatives) and the Gold Coast (to visit more relatives). I’d love to see the Great Barrier Reef. On the return journey I would stop at Hawaii, San Fransisco and Toronto (to visit more relatives) before heading home.

    I would love to go to Pangkor Laut in Malaysia. Many, many years ago before it became a luxury resort, my husband’s grandparents lived there and he has many happy memories of trips there during the school holidays. I would love to go and see the place for myself, and compare the modern resort to the watercolour paintings – done by his grandfather – of the island back in the 1950s and 60s.

    Tomorrow – if money were no object, I would love to take my daughter and husband travelling around North America. My daughter has autism so things can be very challenging for us and her when traveling as she needs structure and routine, so it would be good to be able to afford the resources to prepare her and show her pictures of where we were going in advance to help her process and enjoy the trip. We would need to reward her with a trip to Disneyworld in Florida or Disneyland in California for breaking out of her comfort zone!
