Best places to visit?

Where have YOU been to? Looking for cool places to land my feet for a vacation. Any suggestions?

Re: Best places to visit?

Last week I was in Montreal. I LOVED it. I went with two friends for a senior trip - we stayed on the cheap in the heart of old montreal at a hostel. In a week or so, I'm going back to Toronto. I think Toronto is my all time favorite city. Also, you can do Niagara Falls while in Toronto quite easily (I think that they're underrated!)

In April I was in Seattle. It's gorgeous there, naturally, and I'd love to go back (if anything, to see La Push again).

China was bomb. I'd definitely go back there if I could afford it. I also enjoyed Arizona/grand canyon.

Um. Rochester, NY has stuff going on. It's always a nice, relaxing place to be.

And, finally, Pittsburgh. I live in the PGH area and there is something about this city that will have me coming back long after I need to be here. It's a great city. You can always go to a MLB game on the cheap, too, which is a plus.

France is nice. Avoid Paris if possible ("the city of doggie poop") and go to like Normandie or something.
Italy except Rome is a good place to be. Sorrento at the coast is beautiful and Florence has awesome tourist spots.

I've been to Florida, Orlando as a kid. Only remember all the food I ate there.

Re: Best places to visit?

In all honesty... Australia is nice. Laidback people and great beaches!!! And we don't get snow! (Well mostly) And if you come over here I can totally show you Sydney - and Eastwood (a suburb in sydney - which is predominantly Korean!) and even Kiama where i am now... which is on the south coast right near the water! Truly beautiful!! HONEST!

Re: Best places to visit?

Sydney is great - however there is so much more to the country. 2 yrs ago my parents did a trip through central Australia - which they loved! Uluru in NT (Ayers Rock), Alice Springs etc etc... and don't forget the Whitsundays in QLD... which incidentally is where Fool's gold was filmed...

Our ski fields are bigger than the whole of Switzerland! (So mum just tells me! - i've been showing her around the site)

But i remember coming home from Korea once and being on the bus from the city home, and looking at the Opera House as we were going over the Harbour Bridge and realising how much we take for granted!

Oh and of course - Kiama - down south where i am - we have awesome beaches! In fact near where i live now, they stole some of it's sand to use during the 2000 olympics in Sydney...

Ok so the Olympic site... near Mum and Dad... Sorry i could go on and on - it really is a beautiful country! And unlike you Americans... we don't put tax on things at the counter... (That always gets me!!) So when you pay for things it only costs what you see!! hehe

They actually film quite a few movies over here... we're no where near as populated as america.

OR even New Zealand would be nice - I've always wanted to go - and hope to sometime in my life! Very good for extreme sports and adventure!

Re: Best places to visit?

I was just thinking... and Kiama is nice but isn't really renowned for anything in particular. However would you believe we regularly get bus loads of Korean tourists here to look at our blowhole. I've always been very tempted to go up to the Koreans and say hello and introduce myself! hehe! But always chickened out at the last minute! Oh and i've always wanted to go to PUsan - i've realised it's soo popular but i've never been! Oh and i'd love to hit Jeju island off Korea! I think that would be the bomb also!
