The “Dream Destinations” are -
1. Wildflower Hall, India.

Home to famous white ponies and pink flamingoes, medieval walled cities and glowing beaches.
3. Kyoto, Japan
There are 2,000 Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and other ancient buildings here. For extra romance, take a trip on the Sagano Romantic train - good name!
4. The Cinque Terre, Italy
An unspoilt area of the northern Italian coastline - sheer and rocky with little villages built into the hills.
5. Montreal, Canada
This is an energetic city - by day and by night, host to a number of festivals and romantic accommodation.
6. Brussels, Belgium
This capital city should be explored by foot, so you don’t miss out on its hidden gems, especially the chocolates, pastries and antique shops.
7. St Lucia, Caribbean
This beautiful volcanic island is famed for its beaches and lush rain forests that are home to parrots and birds of paradise.
8. Napa Valley, California

A piece of American history - this tiny village sits in between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah Valley. It was the first place to be named after George Washington.
10. Lake Wanaka, New Zealand
In the centre of the South Island and sitting 1,000 feet about sea level, this is an unspoilt area of outstanding natural beauty.
