Where have you been before

Entilzha · 04-10-2005

If one looks at this board too loosely, one would think Playa is all these Peeps know about. However, my guess is that some may have some extensive travel experience.

So what is it? Here is mine as an example.

Canada: Québec (of course...), Toronto, Niagara Falls, Prince Edward Island, Halifax

USA: All the East Coast including NY and Washington, California (SF, LA, SD), Louisiana (New Orleans).

France: Paris, Provence, Alsace

Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany (Baden Baden), Netherlands (Amsterdam), United Kingdom (London)

Mexico (Riviera Maya)

Dominican Republic (Bavaro)

Cuba (Cayo Coco, Santa Lucia)

In my dreams: Australia, Japan, Belize, Bonaire, Palau, Hawai, British Columbia, French Polynesia, Kenya, New Zeland

Guess being a mad scientist helps

Favorite were Akumal (of course), Manhattan, San Franscisco and Cuba.
Did not like New Orleans (the heat almost killed me) and the Dominican Republic.

Entilzha, I don't wanna disappoint you but we've had a thread like that before...

Just don't remember what it was called...

So where was your favorite ??

MN Annie · 04-10-2005

This summer I wanted to go to Prince Edward Island. Bob really wanted to go to western Canda. With the price of gas, I think we will stay close to home and go to northern Wisconsin.

One of my favorite places is the beach on Madeline Island in Lake Superior. On a hot summer day, it's almost like being in Mexico

**sctx** · 04-10-2005

Texas

aligarcia · 04-10-2005

We loved Kandy, Sri Lanka as much as we love Playa.

Big Kahuna · 04-10-2005

Not quite as exciting as Entilza but:

Virtually all of the US with the exception of SD, ND & MT
Hawaii twice
Mexico three times

All over Texas but still haven't covered every inch yet. I am working on that though. It takes a long time to get all over this great state.

04-10-2005

Travel excursions:

Mexico (Cancun and PDC)

Hawaii

California (flew into San Francisco drove the entire coast down to San Diego and went all the way into Mexico...a three week trip I will never forget)

Disneyworld in Fl (twice...once with parents...second time on our honeymoon)

Canada (Niagara Falls)

Wine Tours in PA, VA, MD and NY

New York (Cooperstown, NYC, Niagara Falls)

Florida (Miami Beach, Ft. Lauderdale)

Every summer we do the beach in Maryland and sometimes go to the mountains of Western Maryland (Deep Creek Lake)

In my bathroom, I've got a world map across from the toilet.

Whenever I visit somewhere I've never been, I mark the city with a red sharpie.

It's pretty cool, plus it gives my bathroom guests something to do if they've already read The Bathroom Trivia Book or don't feel like reading my gaming magazines. I've also got a 20th century photography book, an art history book, America by John Stewart and The Beatles: Unseen Archives. Not than anyone was really curious to what I've got to read in my throne room, but now you know anyhow.

Okay, I had to run to the bathroom to see where I've been..

United States:
Seattle.
Dallas.
Little Rock.
New Orleans.
Baton Rouge.
Jackson (MS and TN).
Mobile (AL).
Dauphin Island (AL).
St. Louis.
Henderson (KY).
Nashville.
Knoxville.
Chatanooga.
Orlando.
Sarasota.
Ann Arbor (MI).
East Liverpool (OH).
Raleigh (SC).
Hunington (WV).
Simsbury (CT).
New York.

Outside US:
Playa del Carmen.
Wherever Niagra Falls is in Canada.

Tour of France:
Started in Paris and circled the country, ending up in Nice.

Ok, Nick. TMI, buddy.

ps: Love the Jon Stewart book, btw. Not sure he'd like knowing it was toilet reading material. On second thought... maybe he would.

roni · 04-10-2005

Many places in the US - too numerous to mention

Canada - Toronto, and various places in British Columbia

Puerto Rico, Barbados, Curaçao, St. Thomas (USVI),
In Brasil, many places, but lived in Campinas, São Paulo, Santos and Recife.

Isla de Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, Tulum are the places I have spent nights in Mexico. Tiajauna and Nogales on day trips.

And Texas.

I used to trip alot in the 70's. oh yeah, and travel too.

Beachnutt719 · 04-10-2005

Arizona, California, Vegas & Reno have been previous flying vacations. Spent every summer at Hampton Beach, NH when my kids were little. Playa comes out in first place going into our second trip. I guess my close second favorite would be Sedona, AZ.
