I love travelling, and it seems there are a few around Oprano who do as well. My own travelling has been somewhat restricted to Europe, I only really started travelling in the US and Caribbean when I started in this business.
I guess my most favourite destinations would be Holland and Germany. I read that Serge's fave is Italy. I've been there as well. It's nice.

I made a trip to Rome in 1992, but I lived in the south of Germany for many years and I could drive through Switzerland (amazing drive with great views) and into Italy in about 6 hours. So I've been in the north a lot. We would stay in Como overnight once in awhile.
If you have the chance, make a trip to Interlaken in Switzerland. Each time I go there I never want to leave. http://www.interlaken.ch/

A suggestion for you Serge that I am sure you and LL will enjoy...
Base yourself out of a small town somewhere south of Strasbourg (German side is better.... no gypsies). I know you like wine, and both the German and Alsacian wines in this area are very good. Then, rent a nice big Audi or something and drive south to the ski resort village of Saas-Fe. You'll end up driving your car onto a train and the train will take you through the mountains. It's quite an experience. No matter what time of year you go, you can go skiing. We did this in the summer because we always wanted to experience skiing in the summertime on the glacier. This was one of my more memorable trips. I'm hoping to do it again sometime.

EC - I think (therefor I am) you'll find MANY posting at Oprano LOVE to travel
My travels have been mainly the continental US and will freely admit I am stuck on a few destinations such as New Orleans (once this year) - my favorite city in the world, totally dedicated to hedonism. Home to incredible dining, shopping and 24 hour drinking. The rich, vibrant history of the city and surrounding areas is more than enough to keep a mind stimulated. The architecture is breath taking and an eclectic mix of styles and influences. The people of New Orleans are about as diverse a group as you will find anywhere. I'm only scratching the surface of reason to travel to New Orleans Disney World (once this year in February and going again in December) - Ok so I am a Disney Freak, but there is no place like it in the world. To be a kid again (not that I ever stopped), to see the magic and then see the magic in my son's eyes. The one place all your cares and worries go away Manhattan (4 times this year) - the capital of the world. Yes it can be dirty, nasty and foul but no other place can be so ALIVE as Manhattan. Always something to see, do and experience. Broadway, dining, shopping all a few minutes away in a sometimes death defying cab ride plus if you can't find it in Manhattan I don't know where you'll find it. It does amaze me how many families live in the city and goes to show the human condition will adapt Might be going to Detroit in a few weeks to attend my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary Would love to stay in Italy, visit the UK (in the summer), experience Japan (if nothing else for the sheer cultural differences) and see Hawaii City I don't really enjoy - Las Vegas. I don't game much and other than seeing Cirque shows there's not a whole lot for me there. There are beautiful hotels and great entertainment and dining there but ... ennn

I love to travel, but can't find as much time and money as I'd like to be able to do much of it. I used to do a lot of day trips up and down the east coast for business, but because I was a single mother, I did what I could to be back at night so I didn't really get to see a lot of places I've been to, lol!
My son has actually traveled more than I have thanks to my generous brother.

Serge, if you were serious about the nazi era stuff, I suggest a visit to Dachau which is just outside of Munich. It is indeed a very sobering experience. I visited it simply because we were driving through Munich on our way back from a ski trip in Solden, Austria.
That area of German (Bayern) is just incredible. The people, the food, the culture. So many things to see and do down in that area. Vick, I like all the places you mention... I haven't been to Disney World yet though. But my son is only 4 months old, so I think it's an inevitable destination for us.

Nice Topic EC
If you have any questions when you are ready for Disney please feel free to ask me I've been going twice (or more) per year for a while now and have read all the books and websites - have a pretty good handle on the in's and out's of WDW

Vick, I now see how much of a kid at heart you must be, and oddly enough your avatar proves it.
 We're a few years away from visiting WDW, and I hope we're both around when that day comes so I can hit you up for some good advice.

I don't think I'll ever run out of places to travel to. I've been to Europe. Loved Germany and Amsterdam. Want to go skiing in Switzerland and Austria one day. I've been to about 40 of the 50 US states. I love Canada but have never been to western Canada. I have to hit one of those shows in Vancouver one day. I've been to just about all the Carribean islands and having worked there on and off for 3 years I don't have much desire to go back. I would really like to go to Italy, Poland, Japan, and Thailand. Those are on my wish list for some day.
Last year I did something I always wanted to do, a US tour hooking up with people I knew in each city I went to. Started in January by going to Toronto for a Pens-Leafs game with a buddy of mine in Toronto and hung out with the Python guys the next day. Went to New Orleans (I agree with Vick, One of my favorite cities) for the crawfish boil at MikeAI's house. Went out to Indianapolis and hooked up with some friends out there and played golf at the brickyard. When football season rolled around I headed back to New Orleans and went to the Saints-Steelers game with MikeAI. (another great weekend by the way) Next, I headed to Baltimore for the Steelers-Ravens game and hooked up with Vick for dinner the night before. I also hit the shows as well but nothing compares to just going somewhere and hanging out with a few good friends for a couple of days.

Hmm, I think travel for pleasure and travel for business are totally different, luckily sometimes you can combine the two.
I've been to France, Switzerland and West Germany (back when there were still two Germanies), Canada, Mexico, quite a few places in the Caribbean, and a lot of US states. Switzerland is a favorite... I really like Curacao and St Maarten as well... I love Vancouver -- and Brad's right, King Pacific Lodge totally rocks, it's incredible as a destination. In the states, Key West is so relaxing you can't help but like it there, and San Diego is really pleasant too. Vegas has some awesome restaurants, even if I didn't gamble I'd still go there just to eat at Picasso. New Orleans is another place with some majorly great food, even tho the weather most of the year drives me nuts. My little itch at the moment so to speak is to go to Cuba and to take some time off and hang out in Asia/Pacific Rim for maybe a month. Places I don't particularly care for would include Cancun and Aruba -- way too Americanized for me. |

I've travelled to 26 countries in total. Spent about one year of the last five years overseas backpacking here and there. I travel very cheaply and can get by on around US$75-$80 a day, including accommodation. I hate hotels and only stay there if I really have to. I much prefer the atmosphere in youth hostels, especially those with a great party vibe. I travel alone and hostels are a great place to meet other travellers.

Joe,
I was in the Florida Keys a few weeks ago. Noticed there was a hostel. Thought of you. Probably a place you'd like.

Been to the Florida Keys. Had a good time.
Didn't stay at a hostel back then though because I was married. Camped instead. |
