Best of.......
 

Please list your favorite vacation spot and why. Be specific and limit it to only one. This should be fun.

Having vacationed in many places around the world, there is one place that is number 1 in my book. That is why we keep going back every few months or so. That place is Las Vegas. No other place like it anywhere.

The coast of Maine--every inch of it, any time of year... <BR>

OK, I know that this is the US forum, and I have travelled quite extensively throughout the US and Europe. My first choice is Paris, and my second (with apologies to Troy) is San Francisco.

Lori's in the preverbial dog house! :)

In the United States, I don't think any place can beat San Francisco. The museums, the park, the food....fabulous. <BR>One of the best things about the city is that you can get anywhere via public transportation. As for the rest of the world, I think that the Amalfi coast is wonderful.

I agree...my choice is San Francisco. I'm hopefully going back in December!!! <BR> <BR>Denise Blackmore <BR>CruiseShipCenters <BR>http://www.cruise-the-world.com

Without a doubt--Grand Cayman Island. Lots to do, beautiful and safe.

Since no U.S. restriction was given, no hesitation in voting for Sydney. The list of positives is too long to list.

Being the US forum, seems like we should stick to US. <BR> <BR>Once, I think I would've said: NYC. I fell in love (it met EVERY expectation!) with that town when I was 18. Last month's visit - the first time EVER that I didn't love it-- has me re-thinking. Just what kind of PR machine does Mayor Rudy have going for him? The smell/garbage was worse than it's ever been.... <BR> <BR>Truthfully, I have NO idea how to answer this. If a person NEVER managed to get overseas, there still is enough diversity/beauty in this country (and this continent) to satisfy. <BR> <BR>How can you possibly pick between the tear-bringing grandeur of the Redwoods, the peace and stillness of an undisturbed Looziana swamp or midwest soybean field, or the promise offered by glowing city spires...or glistening snow-capped peaks? <BR> <BR>Which, I think, means that you have to bring "sentiment" into the decision - i.e.: Where I've Been While I've Been Happiest. <BR> <BR>Still a hard one. I've been editing and thinking for almost half an hour...and will wind up with: the East Coast. Not very specific....but it touches my soul. Our visit back (r/t from NYC to NS, thru MS, ME, etc..) reminded me how much I love it..how much there is there to SEE, how close it is to so many other things.....

sorry.sorry.I swear! I have more exp with this darned site than to CLICK more than once,and certainly not FIVE times...!!! sorrysorrysorry.

NYC - There is no other city that can top! Second choice, a category below - San Francisco

New York City-it is still the most exciting place in the U.S. <BR> <BR> <BR>

So far ... As for a city, San Francisco-lots to do from museums, theatre, parks, food and on and on. <BR> <BR>National Park-Yosemite/Mt Ranier/Death Valley-all so very different, but the natural beauty of each speaks volumes. <BR> <BR>Outside the US-Bermuda-beautiful, safe, lots to do, nothing to do. <BR> <BR>Haven't stopped looking though ...

The next vacation spot, wherever it is. Always looking forwards to the next, and I am right, it is always great.
