Favorite Places You Have Visited

New Orleans was really impressive when I visited about 6 years ago. My favorite places to visit have been Vancouver and Argentina.

Munich. Best decent sized city I've ever been to, bar none as far as day to day living goes. Between Oktoberfest, Biergartens, Englischer Garten, tons of public transport, bike paths... just a very nice city.

La Maddalena, Italy. Lived there for 3 years, it's a tiny archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea just off the northern tip of Sardinia (Sardegna). Clear emerald water, lots of night life within 5 minutes walk and about 45 minutes from Porto Cervo on the Costa Smeralda. Also 5 minutes from Club Med on a nearby island and a wildlife preserve. Topless beaches full of smoking hot vacationing Italian girls... It's a good spot.

Reykjavik, Iceland. Lived there also for 3 years. (Go Navy, lol) The economy is in shambles right now, but it's a beautiful place to visit during the summer. Snowmobile rides across the glacier, bathing in hotsprings during the winter and tons of nightlife. Something like 75% of the Iceland's population lives in Reykjavik.

Rome, Italy. Obvious choice but hard to argue with. Best to go during late Spring before everyone goes on vacation and it gets unbearably hot. Countless things to do...

Aruba, Disney World, Las Vegas, Coastal Carolina

Well, my honeymoon in Aruba was amazing. I've also been to a lot of places in Europe, but the one that sticks out the most was Normandy, France. Point Du Hoc. I stood in a German bunker overlooking the beaches of the D-Day invasion. There were huge craters in the ground from American mortar fire. Man, my hair was standing on end. Greatest generation indeed.

Snorkeling in St. John in the USVI was really awesome.

Honestly though, one of my favorite places is pretty simple- my dad's place in Blowing Rock, NC. Up in the mountains, clean crisp air, so peaceful. Love it there.

And Siesta Key, Fl (where I got married) is great, too.

That's about it for me. I need to travel more.

+1 Munich is a great place to visit. If you ever get a chance to go, skip the Hofbrau house and head to the Andechs restaurant. Better beer, and no tourists. It's really close to the Marienplatz. Best glass of beer I have ever had. Ever.

Going to Iceland in September. Can't wait!

Anyone ever been to Amsterdam? I would love to go, but I'm gonna just wait and see what happens with California this fall ;)

I've never been, but I have plenty of friends who have. I hear it's fun for a day or two, but in general pretty dirty and overrated. Still, I'd go just to hit a coffee shop or two. :cool-smil

Seville, Spain and Istanbul, Turkey. There are very few things that I deem really beautiful in this world, Istanbul is one of them.

Agreed. I could live in Sevilla.

My favorite place, though, is Tibet, especially the Reting area. I could live there too.

I also like:
Jaipur and Haridwar, India
Kyoto, Japan
Pokhara, Nepal
Hua Hin, Thailand
