As an actress with a packed schedule, Isla Fisher is often jetting around the world for work but sometimes she’s able to let her feet up and travel for leisure instead.
She also has plenty of celebrity friends to join her on those holidays but picking exactly who she wants to travel with is apparently no easy feat.
When 9honey Celebrity asked the Now You See Me actor which of her celebrity girlfriends she would choose to take on the ultimate girls’ trip, she was initially hesitant to answer – then one beloved Aussie name rolled effortlessly off her tongue.

“Oh god, I’ve got many. This is so unfair,” Fisher, who recently partnered with Air New Zealand, said, explaining that she didn’t want to insult anyone that she left off the list.
“But I’m really good friends with lots of Aussies,” she continued before quickly picking Aussie actress and radio presenter Kate Ritchie as one of her dream holiday companions.
The two actresses became friends as teenagers when they starred alongside each other on Home and Away. Now more than two decades and several holidays later, their friendship is still strong despite living on opposite sides of the globe.

Another name she quickly stumbled upon was that of British-Australian actress Naomi Watts,
