Cheryl...tries to stay positive!

So whilst I haven't had the best morning (hello Sunday morning anxiety attack) I am trying not to let this beat me. Yes, it does feel crap not being able to go out because you feel overwhealmed with emotion and panic but whilst I am at home I am trying to keep myself busy. In a week's time I shall be heading off to lovely Southport with my mum for a nice holiday. Southport is a highly underrated seaside town, close to Liverpool, and we always love visiting-having already been there in 2001, 2002 and 2006. 

 

My mum and I like having holidays together as it means we get some quality mother-daughter time and it's always nice to reminise about old holidays. There are still so many places across the world I want to visit and whilst I am restrained right now with my fear of flying (most I have managed is a 3 1/2 hour flight), I am hoping to build up to going further afield. Here are some places I would love to visit over the next few years....

Berlin

 Maybe not an obvious 'dream trip' choice but I have always wanted to go to Berlin and with it only being a few hours away it is definitely possible. I have never been to Germany before and I would be interested to try the food and also discover some of Berlin's gems including its beautiful architecture.

Vienna

Again, another beautiful city which I have always wanted to visit-looking at pictures it seems to be full of beautiful buildings and lots of history-my favourite kind of place! Again, it is definitely within reach only being a few hours away and hopefully one day we will make a visit.

  

New York

 I am pretty desperate to visit New York and I always have been-especially since a certain favourite show of mine started 5 years ago! When I think of New York, I always think of Home Alone 2 and it's a dream of mine (and probably everyone elses!) to visit NY at Christmas. However, with it costing £700+ it's not something I have ever really made the effort to save up for, really I should! Michael is not particularly interested in going but hopefully one day I will be walking down Times Square and strolling through the Upper East Side. 

Montreal, Canada

 Another place I would LOVE love love to visit. I always thought the flight time was like 10 hours but after research was happy to discover that some flights only take around 6-7 hours. That is doable, I think. Montreal's beautiful buildings astound me...plus CANADIAN MAPLE SYRUP. Say no more.

Helsinki

Finland looks like an awesome place to visit and Helsinki is only a 3 hour flight from London. Of course, it is a cold place to visit but the thought of snuggling up walking through pretty squares like this...is a nice romantic thought :)

Sicily

I just love Italy. Being part Italian (my Grandad was from southern Italy), I feel very drawn to the country. As I have mentioned a squillion times, Michael and I are going to Florence and Rome in August. We have also visited Verona and the Lakes in previous years but last on my list to visit in Italy is Sicily-I mean just look at it! It's so picturesque. *sigh*

Where would you go?
