Like Edmond, I was brought up with the legend of Tir na N'Og - the land of eternal youth - very compelling. Brendan must have visited Bermuda, definately not the East Coast of the US given our experience this winter! <BR> <BR>I have always wanted to visit Bram Stoker's Transilvania (mixture of fact and fiction)and Jane Austen's Bath (as it was then not now). <BR> <BR>Re Rex' posting Edmond - does SIDHE mean Fairy?

Definitely Brigadoon. <BR>Definitely Babylon 5 (as long as Bruce Boxleitner is still in charge) and Star Trek Voyager (as long as Captain Janeway is in charge; she's very cool). <BR>Maybe Shangri-La. <BR>Manderley, but I'd have to speak up. <BR>

Why, Shangri-La, of course! Everyone is young, healthy, no wars or hunger, and perfect weather, kinda like Camelot was supposed to be!

Judy, I was dreaming the same dream!! <BR>Couldn't we share Mr D'Arcy?? <BR>There's enough of him to go around. <BR>(A&E version, right? Laurence Olivier's Mr. D'Arcy is only in black and white, we need living color!)

Desiree: I could "swoon" when Darcy(Colin Firth) emerges from his swimming in his pond, and comes upon Elizabeth. Stuff with which dreams are made! Judy ;-) ps. I watch A&E's "Pride" whenever it is on!

I think that even if I could go to a fictional place, I'd still want to travel from there! (just no satisfying that wanderlust!) The best sea voyage would be in Dr. Doolittle's large pink snail, and then a connecting flight onto the luna moth, to land on James' giant peach. From the peach, I would then cruise the land of Oz in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, right straight into Mary Poppin's picture park with Dick Van Dyke (Burt). Dine with the dancing penguins, and then off we go by umbrella to the Keebler elve's tree for dessert. Would another fodorite like to continue the journey from there? I've used up all my miles.

Shangri-La. <BR> <BR>Rex: "Sidh" = "Fairy Mound." So translates into "Women of the Fairy Mounds." The ancient tumuli (grave mounds) of Ireland were commonly regarded as fairy mounds. "Sidh" can also be used to designate the inhabitants of the mounds; a 7th-century biographer of St. Patrick refers to the "sidh, or the gods who dwell in the earth." (I believe another word for sidh is shee, as in "the Shee.") In this sense, the sidh are a big part of the mythological history of Ireland; in that history they are known as the Tuatha de Danann.
