Cool places you've visited

[Rhabuka]

In no particular order:

- Banff National Park, Alberta -- Zug and I went on our honeymoon there and think we might end up living in Canmore someday! Zug will work as a fishing guide on one of the lakes and I will work on wildlife educational programs.

- San Francisco, CA -- Loved it, great city, great food, great climate. Also really enjoyed Monterrey and how you can take a boat out of the harbour and see humpback whales in less than an hour.

- Yosemite Park, CA -- So beautiful, well worth the drive -- I imagine several car accidents result from the spectacular view you see upon exiting one of the entrance tunnels!

- Heidelberg, Germany -- Some old friends of mine lived here. I really enjoyed checking out the town and the castles surrounding it. Very friendly people and fantastic beer.

- Vancouver, BC -- I love the pace of life here, was so different from Toronto. Stanley Park is great. If Canmore doesn't work out, this might ;D Checked out Vancouver Island too, whale watching and all that good stuff (sensing a pattern here? lol)

- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil -- Went here for work a few years ago. I've heard it's much dirtier and more dangerous than it once was, but it is a beautiful place. Disappointing that the only wildlife I saw was pigeons and roaches

- Dragon Bay, Jamaica -- Believe it or not, ! was also in Jamaica for work, primarily in Kingston (NOT a place to visit). Went to Dragon Bay on a weekend and was amazed by the wildness of it. The real Blue Lagoon is here and is incredible -- I can't remember the exact stats but it's hundreds of feet deep. The upper layer of the water is cold, as it's fed from freshwater springs around the lagoon, and then the lower level of the water is as warm as bath water. Weird sensation!

Sorry for the blathering... I'd love to hear about some cool places other people have been to!

i havent done much travel but i have been to one really cool place
mall of america in minneapolis, minnesota, it is so huge much bigger than the west edmonton mall in edmonton alberta, i have been there too.
in my younger years, when hitchhiking wasnt dangerous, i traveled around B.C. and yes most of it is nice but all the same to me, i grew up in B.C.

[Jwiz]

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

::: In the night Slyfoot appears right out side Jwiz's house. There it was, his mail box. She took out her small dagger and wand, prepairing to do what she had come for. Then suddenly, she dropped the dagger and reached out, touching Jwiz's mail box.....muahahahhaha. She picked up her dagger and disapeared into the night :::

[Jwiz]

Ha foutnatly i dont usualy get my mail

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

You thought I was going to murder your mailbox, didn't you...DIDN'T YOU! Ha! gotcha, and I have been to your mailbox now Jwiz, so Ha! again.

[Jwiz]

And i thought i was the stalker Thats it im pressing charges

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

LOL....hey, I am not stalking you, I was stalking your mailbox, they are two entirely different things...arn't they?

[Jwiz]

i dont know but i thought i saw someone with a knife to my mailboxs throat( wherever that is ) but when it got in the path of the headlights it ran away

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

Ok, I have been to some neeto places. Here ya go:

Japan- Went on a mission tour with lots of younger kids. Was a great time and I got to see alot of the islands. I thought it was funny how the houses are all cramed together, yet they never build the houses up onto the mountains.

England- Born there.

Cosumel - This is a small island in the gulf of mexico. I went on an all inclusive vacation there. It was the best vacation of my life!

Cleveland - CLEVELAND ROCKS....lol. I went there to sing for a competition. My Chorus took home all of the 1st place trophies and the best overall. And I did see the rock and roll hall of fame. Beatles are the best.

France - Went to Paris. It was beautiful there. Saw the Mona Lisa, but I was shocked to see that the real painting is so small.

Canada - yeah, been there, just to please the canadians in the crowd lol.


Well, those are some of the most interesting places I have visited. It is great to see them. Especially Japan. I think that by going to a foriegn country, it give you a different perspective on life, and on America. Just my big thought for the day lol.

REally about the only cool place ive been is Orlando, Florida- Its great always warm and so cool ...Especialy Disney World

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

I've been there to Jwiz

So you still don't have one up on me. muahahhaa!!!

England- The castles were great and so were the cathederals.

Gettysburg- Very humbling to be there. This may be the saddest place on Earth. You can actuallly feel it. (Of course I have never been to Germany or Poland. I can only imagine what one of the camps must be like)

Ground Zero- I grew up in NJ so the change in the skyline was shocking. I had been to the top of the towers before and it was very strange to see the hole.

Hmmm too many of mine are depressing...

I am looking forward to going to Viet Nam next year so that I can ask my girlfriend's grandfather for permission to get married.

[Slyfoot M'Zors]

Wow, that is so cool that you are going to Viet Nam to do that! That is really neat. I hope you have an awsome trip.

[Zugarok]

Gettysburg is very depressing...I remember when I was a boyscout I did the 15 mile hike their where they give you a compass and a book about the history as you find these way out of the way places...all the stories were really sad...I remember one of the weird places was just a a spot in the woods where this woman had been killed and died in the arms of her husband who she had followed into military service but had no idea until he came across her wounded body...the place of Pickett's charge equally depressing...I'd imagine Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be equally depressing...
