If you could travel anywhere in this world right now, where would you go?

I would probably say something really cliche like, "Oh, easy! I would travel to Italy or France!" but honestly, those places can be a little overrated, right? If I'm truthfully honest, I would want to travel to Mexico. I haven't seen my grandma there in almost...eight years? It would be nice to visit her home after so long, especially since they managed to renovate it! They added in another story to the house, my grandma also has a really nice garden with herbs, plants, and vegetables/fruits of all sorts. She had this pet dog when I visited her during the third grade, but I don't know if he's even alive anymore. We used to wake up at 5 a.m. and she would go make some homemade tortillas in her own little outside kitchen, which was like a mud-made room separate from the actual house that had all her basic kitchen essentials. I miss hearing the obnoxious crickets and rooster chirping me awake, I miss the times I would walk a few minutes across this bridge over a beautiful river just to go to my aunt's house so she could braid my hair, and I especially miss going with my brother and Dad to small marts just to buy some Mexican snacks that I've never heard of before. My few weeks in Mexico were really enjoyable and I would want to relive them again at this age, so that's why if I could travel anywhere right now, it would be to Mexico.
