Favorite Places You Have Visited

Atlantis in the Bahamas
Great call on Atlantis. My wife and I went for our honeymoon and brought our son with us the next year.

Boston Garden. Got to bring my Mom (her and my Dad were from the area) to watch the Cs play in the final season of the Gah-den. Sitting in the old, ricketty, uncomfortable, seats. Listening to the organ, no light show, looking at the banners in the rafters, you could just feel the history. I got to go down and walk on the floor after the game. One of the things I had to do before I die.

There was a little spot in Japan, maybe 45 min. or so from Yokota, AB. Back in the late 80s it was called the Rock. It was about a 20 foot or so waterfall on a creek. Had some fun times up there.

San Diego
Riverwalk in San Antonio - Casa Rio was good Mexican food and there was an English Pub style place that was pretty fun too. Nice to go to the Riverwalk then walk over to the Alamodome and see the Spurs play.
Ft. Lauderdale
Sometimes I miss DC too.

LOL. Thanks for the tip.
the tip, eh? ;)

Interlaken, Switzerland was a pretty cool place that I wouldn't mind spending some more time. Anywhere in Germany is a great time.

Here in the US, I love the Redwood forest, Garden of the Gods (Colorado) and Mt. Katahdin/Knife's Edge (Maine).

Antigua, Guatemala. Great small town that was slightly touristy, but a great place to learn a the Spanish language and get a good taste of the Spanish/Mayan flavor of culture.

Adding to NYC a must see there is MSG. My first time there was seeing Pearl Jam there back in May. So much history there, so much energy from the crowd the place was electric.

Back in 2002 I took a Carribean cruise, and one of the stops was Nassau. We spent all night partying in the Atlantis casino, and the following morning we had bloody mary's and did the shark tank water slide for hours. Great fun, very cool spot, and pretty awesome indoor-outdoor aquarium.

Side note- we got to chatting with one of the pit bosses in the casino. Really cool guy. He said celebrities come through there constantly, and pointed out a high-stakes private room where he said Michael Jordan dropped 6 figures in one card game just the week before.

My wife and I went on a ten-day vacation to Israel in June. We simply rented a car and drove from one end to the next, and it was just incredible. The Dead Sea is one strange experience.

Monument Valley and the Arches National Park, both in the southwest, are among my favorite visited places. My wife and I honeymooned in the mountains in Peru (up to Macchu Picchu), which was also a pretty stunning trip. I also loved the three days I spent a few years ago in Memphis. What a great town. In terms of sport venues, I'm very glad I got to see a game in the old Tiger Stadium before the team moved out and the city tore it down.


I loved the Dead Sea and the Masada. The Mountains to the north next to the sea of Galilee are awesome too. I also like the beaches right off of the Mediterranean. The Jordan River had be my favorite area though. I did not get a chance to see Jerusalem but I did see the desert in the south of the country. It is amazing how much of a diverse geography they have in a country in the size of New Jersey.

I went horseback riding in the Andes right on the border of Argentina/Chile basically. Unbelievable. Never breathed air so fresh and crisp

I'll second Riverwalk. Anyone going to San Antonio should definitely check it out. (and the Alamo of course)
