    Default Where have you vacationed?.....

    ....just a little survey to see where people have been and if they like it....

    just got back from Quebec, buetiful in the old city, but, don't really need more the 3-4 days there at most. Still has the old-world/French feel to it...

    I have a time share in cancun lol, although that's no good right now! I've been to England and loved it, but for a domestic trip I'd choose the Jersey shore (wildwood) for a short weekend, and Ft. Lauderdale/west palm beach florida for a 4 -5 day trip.

    Southern France and Spain many times as a child, also parts of England.
    Hong Kong
    LA / Mexican border towns
    Tahiti - all 20 years ago.
    Sydney, Melbourne, Sunshine Coast Australia
    Southern England, Edinburg, Glasgow, Scotland and Barcelona, Spain again more recently.
    Wellington and Auckland, New Zealand.

    Ive had a good time everywhere! Im going back to NZ soon - it really is beautiful over there!!!
    Spain is definatly a favorite, but everywhere was great. Tahiti was way expensive though, but I enjoyed it all the same. I plan on visiting many more places in future.

    Are we speaking about adult life and funded by own money? If so then the list is short: Las Vegas, Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide (kinda).

    Most of the time I have working vacations where I devote some of it to working and the rest to being a tourist (or business trips with a little pleasure thrown in).

    If you are speaking about family vacations - then my list is longer:
    Paris, France
    Rome, Italy
    London
    Edinbourough (Scotland)
    Other assorted towns/cities on the way to Edinborough from London
    Melbourne
    USA: Los Angeles, Seattle, Las Vegas, New York (city), Washington (city), Miami, Orlando (and probably another city or two I've forgotten)

    and a few other places I don't totally recall as I was really young (pre-teen) when I visited them.... yeah i think that's it.

    Outside CONUS? The island of Mallorca for a week. The nightclubs were awesome as was hanging out on the beach in the afternoon.

    In CONUS? This summer a few days in Wyoming seeing a friend.. Last summer lots of National parks. I put about 5000 miles on my truck last summer. Only one on my list I missed out on was Yosemite. The mountain pass was closed and I was on the east side. Boo.

    I've vacationed all over Australia... nothing too exciting though.

    I went on a school trip to 4 Indonesian islands, so I guess that's kinda a vacation cos even tho we did a lot of educational stuff we spent heaps of time relaxing and shopping.

    I've been to 140 cities in the US and around the world. Look upon me haters, and hate.

    My favorite places that I've visited have been Prague, Amsterdam, New Orleans (I lived there for a while), Rome, Sydney and Melbourne, London, Portland (Oregon). I've been to Paris 4 times and just never liked it as much as I was "supposed" to, I guess.

    I really want to go to the Greek Isles and Morocco. It looks like I'll have the chance to go in the coming months.

    Mine's easy, ie sad. For the last 5 years, I close the business the week between Xmas and New Year's and head to Hawai'i. That's my only extended time off. In the last 3 years I've managed around 25 trips to Vegas of 2 or 3 nights, which really isn't a vacation. More like a day and a half, or 2 of drinkin', gamblin', and lappin'.

    About 12 hours before this thread appeared, I had written out one asking why are there no vacation trip reports posted, as much as some here travel? Those of us who don't get out much could use the escape to new places. Maybe I will rewrite it and post.

    The most exotic and memorable location I've been to was Hundred Islands National Park, Philippines. It was a long time ago but it was so stunning and beautiful that the memories are quite vivid.

    Another great one was Grande Island in Subic Bay. My friends and I used to go there all the time that was a blast. We'd go snorkeling, or water skiing or just rent paddle boats or even bicycles to explore the island. I just checked out their website and holy shit it looks so much better and high end now that the US Navy is no longer running it

    Hawaii is always the shiz-nit some of the best times of my life were in Hawaii. My friends and I (a bunch of us went out after high school graduation) decided we were going to paddle out on surfboards out to some little cliff jumping island (right off the coast of Kailua I think) Anyhow, that was fucking hard work! My g/f got pissed at me because her boyfriend took pity on my whining about my sore arms and was towing me for awhile. Well we finally made it and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. Jumping off a rock into some little cove. God, it was insane. There were a bunch of people there too I just can't even describe how thrilling and exciting it was.

    So here we are in our bathing suits and surfboards. No clothes, no food, no water (yeah we were young and dumb.) Then the sun is starting to go down and it's getting chilly. Nobody had a boat big enough to take us back so we had to paddle the whole way back. I got stung by a baby man-o-war, I'm crying, the sun is really starting to set and all I can think is that we look like shark bait and oh my god sharks feed at night. Man I was totally scared we wouldn't make it, I was seriously praying to God and trying to make deals with him, "Dear God, please let us make it back safely and I'll never _______ again."

    I don't think I've ever felt such relief as when our feet finally touched the shore. And hell no I'll never do anything like that again! Not really sure what we were thinking.

    Just got back from Europe a few months ago.. Went to Amsterdam, Nurenberg, and Paris. I have DJ friends that live all over Europe, so I hit em up. It was the best time of my life.

    Next summer I plan on going to the UK, London area, Amsterdam, Berlin, and (possibly) Barcelona, Milano.. I'd love to go to Malta.. lol

    In the US I've vacationed in Destin FL, Chicago, Dallas, Charleston, and I plan on going to LA and DC either sometime this year or early next.
