If we are talking economy and must see places, I would have to stick with the US. Personally, the Grand Canyon and surrounding area, including Sedona. We were just there a month ago (and it was 24 year olds first visit) - she said Sedona was the most beautiful place she had ever been. East Coast mountains just do not compare with the Southwest.
Typically the beach is my fav place to be (well tropical beach), and we also love the Florida Keys.
Road trips are our favorite type of trip in the last 10 years. In one calendar year, we drove from Maine to Ft Lauderdale twice. Stopping at all the cool places that we usually just fly over. I wanted to see the Daytona racetrack, but refused to pay the fee to drive around the track. We just walked out and sat in the bleachers for free. They acted like you had to pay to get out there, but we just walked out with a few other people and were happy as clams.
That's a great post, Stacy. I know what you mean by great stuff for free. Sometimes the best places we see, we just stumble upon. It is really a great pleasure. Marie
I second Rick's recommendation of Cinque Terre! Try to go in October or in the spring to miss the tourist season.
I must add Slovenia! LOVE it! It is very Europe without the crowds and cost. My favorite place so far is Bled. Try the Kremna Rezina, their regional dessert. Staying at a tourist farm was so fun! Home made breakfast every day! Their tourism site is really user friendly, check it out.
Colombia. Colombia has quietly become a relatively safe place to visit. It is very cheap, and very beautiful, and the people are genuinely welcoming and friendly. There are still a few dangerous places to avoid, and don't go wandering around the streets after dark.
I'd really like to get to Williamsburg.
Some day, I will, even if it means I have to go there by myself.
I also agree with all your other recommendations, stillkit.
And sometimes different places appeal more at different stages of a person's life, but I don't think I'll *ever* get tired of San Francisco.
Personally, of all the places I have been, I would recommend cherry picking in Montana. The mountains are beautiful,we saw moose walking in the creeks and bear by the road. No zoos. I loved picking cherries off the trees and raspberries from the bushes. it was the most awesome thing. Also you cannot leave without eating Huckleberry ice cream, it is to die for. You have to visit The Montana Vortex it is a genuine quantum, or gravitational anomaly that may re-define the laws of physics and nature. NO JOKE.
I'm not a world traveler so of the places in the US I have loved, it would be Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Next big trip will be to see the Pacific Ocean. Possibly the Monterey area and the Napa Valley.
We went to Curacao on a cruise one year and it was the most amazing place I had ever seen in my life. I'd LOVE to go back someday.
