    Argentina!!! My ex, who is still one of my besties lives there again, now and I'd LOVE to go back. It is so beautiful and natural there. Real dairy farms, real butchers and bakeries and the people are wonderful. Even with a language barrier they were so sweet and really wanted to find a way to communicate.

    Also doesn't hurt that our $1 turns to $3 of theirs!

    I spent 10 days in Washington State - half of the time we went hiking in Mount Rainier National Park and the other half was spend exploring the San Juan Islands just off the coast - it was an amazing trip!! Whale watching from the beach, boat trips through the islands, lavender and alpaca farms, friendly locals, fabulous cuisine (The Duck Soup Inn on San Juan Island is a must!!), romantic atmosphere - fun, relaxation and adventure all mixed into one!

    Otherwise, I lived in Switzerland for a year on an exchange program back in high school and it was just glorious! All the major cities and the not so major towns are filled with culture and history and the story book backdrop to everything is just breathtaking! There's a little of everything condensed into this small, easy to travel around country - great museums and bustling city life to quaint little towns from another era, plus so many natural wonders - glaciers, lakes, mountains!! I loved every minute and hated to leave!
  • I was in the navy for eleven years and I saw 25 percent of the world, it is tough to say what my favorite place was but I can tell ya I enjoyed Rio a ton and Lima I also loved Cyprus and Turkey. SO I dont have a favorite, Even France was great. Srry cant help ya wish I could I tried. SMILES
  • I would have to say Las Vegas. I had the most fun I've had in my whole life, there. Hopefully, my career will take me to more distant lands! :D

    I went to Italy for two weeks in the summer of '03 (the year I graduated high school) to play basketball with 40 people I had never met. We got to tour Rome. We got to swim in the Mediterranean Sea!! We also got to travel more inland to Pescasseroli and see some BEAUTIFUL countryside. We played ball daily against the locals and got to go to a basketball camp that had kids of all ages...from like 5-17. They thought we (Americans) were celebrities. It was awesome. We got to stay in several different places, including some hotels and some bungalows. We got to eat yummy Italian food!! :) It was great!

    Also, my honeymoon to a Sandals resort in the Bahamas - Sept '07. My husband and I pretty much just sat on the beach and ate and drank for an entire week. It was beautiful and relaxing. A wonderful way to start of my marriage.

    US & British Virgin Islands: Started out in the BVI by chartering a 38 foot sailboat and spent the next 8 days island hoping and sleeping on the boat. Then went to USVI where we spent 8 days at the Marriott on St Thomas, and took a day trip over to St John. In total: 8 islands in 16 days. Incredible!

    Lake tahoe, on the nevada side. I was so beautiful. we were there late april/early may and it snowed during our trip. We fished, hiked, saw an old mine town and got to go to casinos! It was a great trip. This summer we are going to a family adventure camp near Santa Fe, and I have a feeling that will be my new favorite place!

    WE go to the Tenn. mountains every fall to see the leaves change, cause down here in Florida we don't get the change of season that is so beautiful!!!! Every year I ask my husband would he like to try something different, but between going to Myrtle Beach in the Summer and Tenn. in the fall, we're in Heaven. Out of the two, the Smokey Mountains is my favorite.

    Hope Town, Bahamas and Roatan, Honduras. Both were for about 2 weeks. But I would recommend Roatan to anyone as we had family and connections in Hope Town that made it a BLAST!!!

    I spent a couple weeks driving the coast thru northern California, Oregon and Washington. Spent a week of it camped out on the beach in Washington. No phones, no cars, no electric nothing! Just long walks on the beach, day trips to the rainforest, and the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach at night. Very soothing to a very stressed out, overloaded, burnt out soul.

    That's a good sign that alot of people have mentioned Hawaii. I just had some family move there, so I guess it's just a matter of time before we visit.
  • Indonesia! We spent time in Bali and the people and culture are so unique! Then headed over to the gili islands which was amazing also:) they have to bring fresh water to the island we stayed on and they dont even have cars or for that fact, any roads on the island! It definitely felt like a different world:) I would go back in a second!
