    I’ll start with a couple:

    I recommend the island of Grenada in the West Indies very beautiful and pro American

    I’ve taken the Trans Siberian Railroad from Beijing to Moscow this is a part of the world hard to see any other way

    Cozumel and Bonaire have great diving

    Sunset Beach NC is non touristy and all yours in the off season if you like the beach but not much to do but be laid back on the beach which I like and fresh shrimp

    I've never been out of the good USA, but I have family that always go back to different parts of the old country. I always Loved traveling the coast down south. Great food, great party's, and Great Women.

    The northwest coast from Squamish BC to Northern California is beautiful

    I see no reason to go to Jamaica

    Antigua is dirty

    Tokyo and Prague! The plan is to hit up one of them this year.

    And then the other and Madrid next year. Its all up to me and how much work I want to put in. Working too much isn't good either.

    That sounds like an awesome trip. If I went to Rome I think I would just be wanting to do nothing but eat all day!

    I'm happiest when I'm travelling!

    Spent a bunch of time working in Honduras. Terrible poverty, but loved it. Bermuda is okay. So small it can get pretty boring. St croix, St. John, st Thomas all beautiful. Pacific Northwest is amazing. As are the desert areas

    I loved the Alaskan Panhandle. I'd recommend Juneau if flying, Sitka if driving. It's hard finding a spot that doesn't have a great view. They even make the best beer there. Alaskan Amber is the nectar of the gods!

    I love being outside, but I'm too accustomed to city life now. Seattle is great because its kind of the best of both worlds. There's beautiful country right outside the city, and awesome hiking. The downside is it just got way to expensive over the last few years, cost of living wise......so i had to pass.

    Years ago and long before 9/11 I traveled on business excessively and had over a million frequent fliers mile and a stack of free flight vouchers for taking bumps

    My wife and I made 3-4 day weekends with the free flights monthly for 10 years before 9/11 you could just go to the airport with carry on pick a flight and go

    One day we went to the airport and there was a flight in 8 minutes going to Portland Maine we got on it had a great trip

    Not long after we went to the airport to randomly get on a flight and I suggested Portland and my wife said we already went there

    I told her I thought there was also one on the other side so off to the airport we went

    There were two lines at the check in desk one going left to Portland and the line to the right going to Seattle

    We started to talk to the people in line for Seattle and asked them to tell us about Seattle then the man behind them said he was from Vancouver and suggested the drive there was nice

    We changed lines and got in the Seattle line that’s how we planned then

    First of about 4-5 trips there

    I love Dungeness crabs
