Salisbury town - www.urban75.org The travel guide Lonely Planet 'Best in 2015' names Salisbury, UK, as one of the top cities in the world to visit.
It says: ‘2015 is set to be the year visitors linger in this quintessentially English city as Salisbury uncorks the champagne for the 800th anniversary of its greatest treasure, Magna Carta. The lightning rod for the celebrations will be Salisbury Cathedral, the medieval masterpiece whose Chapter House holds Magna Carta.'
'The cathedral itself boasts a clutch of superlatives, with the tallest spire in Britain, the world's oldest working clock and Britain's largest cloister.'
I've been there. My husband and I gaped in wonder at the cathedral, and roamed the picturesque town, which is well set out with information readily available at the central tourist center.

Next, we drove on to view the ancient Stonehenge, and then continued on to the Old Sarum, which is an ancient hilltop area two miles from the city center of Salisbury. For more than 4,000 years it served as a fortress and religious site, from a Neolithic henge and fort to a Norman castle and cathedral. The place was abandoned in 1219 when the bishops moved to "New Sarum," or Salisbury.

I stayed in Singapore for one month in the early eighties when I traveled as a nanny. I've also seen St. Lucia, one of the most beautiful places on Earth, in 2002 when my husband and I cruised around the Caribbean. He recovered from an operation yesterday. Before he left, he told me a nurse advised him to think of somewhere he loved before he went to sleep. When I asked him about his choice, he named the bay in St. Lucia.
