Best places you ever visited (vacation, trips, resort, backpack)

[Tom Lennox 70]

Best places for me would be Cancun, Colorado, and the Florida Keys

Lucca, Italy - beautiful walled city in Tuscany with amazing restaurants. You can bike along the wall and see amazing views of Tuscany. Had a fantastic three days here and plan to return for a few weeks at some point.

North shore of Kauai - This is the most beautiful place I've ever been. Sunsets from above Haneli Bay are the most amazing I've ever seen. The laid back atmosphere, the people, the natural beauty.

Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica - Amazing blue beach, fantastic food, white power sands. I could live here and hope to one day.

Yellowstone National Park - It really is like no other place on earth. The wild life, the diverse landscape, the geo thermal features. It's something I think everyone needs to experience at least one.

Talkeenta Alaska, tiny town on the river where you can see Mt. McKinley. Spent one of the most relaxing afternoons of my life hanging out on the beach there. It's the launch town for climbers so you get to talk to people heading for the mountain and those coming back. Ate an amazing breakfast at the Roadhouse there.

Volcano, Big Island - Seeing the lava is really cool. And the old lava, the Chain of Craters road is spectacular. Highly recommend making sure you are there at night.

Seward, Alaska - Walking along the waterfront in Seward you can see seals and puffins and bald eagles. Eagles are like pigeons up there. The mountain view is spectacular. If you can take a 8 hour cruise into the harbor you can see more whales and a glacier calving.

Going on Safari in Africa - I could never dream that big over the things I would see.

Going back for the third time in 2018. Different areas of course.

Outside the U.S.:

Santorini, Greece - Was married there at sunset
Buenos Aires, Argentina - Went there over the summer and it was amazing. Great wine, fun people, incredible architecture
Sydney, Australia

U.S.:

Sedona, Arizona
North Georgia mountains
New York City

Planning to go to Amsterdam in the Spring. Trying to decide on a second destination such as Belgium or Germany. I'd pick Paris, but I feel like that needs to be seen with a woman.

2. Sydney and the east coast of Australia.

3. The south island of New Zealand. Most spectacular natural beauty in the world.

4. Bath, England. The old Roman ruins are simply amazing.

5. Ireland. I was particularly drawn to the Purple Cliffs of Mohr, County Antrim, and Galway.

6. Maui, Hawaii. The trip on the Hana Highway is scary, but one of the most beautiful you can take.

I could go on, but I think six is enough for my favorite

Should I add Munich to my Amsterdam trip?

I would. Much to see in the city and outside of it. In the city, don't miss the Glockenspiel at the Marienplatz, Englischer Gardens (park), Wittelsbach Palace, and the Augustiner Keller (an unusually large and fun beer garden). Outside the city venture to Fussen and see Neuschwanstein Castle. You could also possibly take a day trip to the Eagle's Nest (Hitler's home in the alps)

Siesta Key - Fl. Siesta Sands Condos.

How is that for specific?

That sounds interesting. Care to elaborate?

African safari is actually quite easy to do and very affordable.

Thanks for the completely unrelated response, I didn't question how easy it was or how affordable it was.

I was curious about what they saw. Everyone's experience on safaris is different and I'd be interested to hear about their experience, not a price breakdown.
