Best vacation spots???

My favorite vacation was driving around Ireland on my honeymoon. We stayed away from the touristy places and visited the rural hideaways. It was awesome. I haven't travelled all that much, though.

Sounds like fun.

South America! Especially Peru and Ecuador. Great dollar exchange and fantastic food. Just don't eat anthing raw that doesn't have a skin that can be peeled.

could i spend my vacation at home?

cape town or durban :wink:

thanks, you've given some good ideas

I spent my honeymoon on St. Kitt's at the Golden Lemon resort. Amazing!

My second favorite was a week in San Pedro, Belize.

Aruba and Maui were also nice but I didn't care for Nassau in the Bahama's that much.

You can tell I go for the sun, sand, surf, and seafood set.

That's my kind of vacation.

I just spent three days at the Grand Canyon and recommend to all that it is as people say it is - see it sometime in your life! Went in February and the timing was perfect for good weather and amenities. So few people are there at this time and many lookout views all to yourself. People in the Park Service and in the vendor accommodations were relaxed and had time to talk. One only gets to drive a private vehicle from the Canyon Village lodges out to the west rim from October to February 28, so it was a treat to see all the western viewpoints on our own schedule. I do recommend the ease of using the free shuttlebuses to get to all the major viewing points and hiking trailheads.

That sounds awesome, I'm certainly going to try and get there before this life is over.

cobalt- We went to the Grand Canyon, and it was great. We also went to Zion National Park, which is less well known, and were absolutely mesmerized by it.

I don't know if it's ok to post a link to some online photos in a gallery, but here goes (these are mine from the Grand Canyon this week):

Australia, of course.

You speak the language - more or less!!

Your dollar is strong against the Oz dollar.

The people are charming, witty, intelligent and tolerant. (well not the politicians, but the rest of us!)

There's heaps to see and do in a country the same size as mainland USA , but with only 20 million people.

Don't mention the war!

I've always wanted to go to Australia! I've also wanted to visit New Zealand.

hehe I see that Scotsman outlining places in Europe. As I am a Belizean thought i might shamelessly drop a few facts about Belizean benefits:
You can get the whole gamut in Belize...Sun, Sand, RAinforest, mountains, swamps, coral reefs...It is one of the best diving spots out there (2nd largest barrier reef in the world{AUS has the largest}) boasts an unprecedented percentage of land protected or reserved. World's only jaguar reserve....needless to say...great eco-tourism...it is only just begining to cater to conventional tourists. it is truly a jewel. definitely come visit.

Don't always want! Just get your act together and head this way!
