Places you've visited so far

Which places have you visited so far? Which trip did you like the most?

I didn't visit many places so far. So here is my list

USA = New York; Philadelphia; Camden (sp?); Baltimore; Ocean City; Amish county in Pennsylvania; Hearshey (of the chocolate); Seattle
Canada = Vancouver
Spain = Barcelona; Malaga; Sevilla; Granada; Cordoba; San Sebastian; Bilbao; Burgos; Palma de Mallorca; Tenerife
Greece = Athens; Delphi; Corinth; Mycaene; Eretria
Germany = Frankfurt
Austria = Salzburg; Innsbruck
Switzerland
Croatia = Zagreb (the city where next year Euros will take place); Rijeka
Slovenia = Ljubljana (last year Junior Worlds)

Italy = that's my country. I didn't visit all, but I was in Rome; Venice; Neaples; Pompei (ruins of the vulcan eruption); Florence; Siena; Perugia; Catania; Agrigento; Verona (Romeo and Juliet ); Padua; Ferrara; Modena; Brescia; Trento and many smaller towns

Of America I liked very much New York, the green around Seattle and Vancouver.
Of Europe the ancient ruins of Greece and the sea are really worth a look. Venice has that magic look. In Italy the smaller towns are more enjoyable than say Rome and Neaples, but are obviously less known.

I am chinese
I visited so many place in my dear country~~
I visited Combodia...it is the furthest pleace,and Cambodia is soooooo beautiful~~I like there very much~~~~

I have not been to many places.
Bermuda is the most exotic and furthest I've been from home. It is beautiful there. I'd like to go again and have more time to spend there.
I've been to the Kissimmee area of Florida several times and it is my favorite place so far.
I've been to Arizona, but to visit family so did not do much except tube down the Salt River which was fun. Thankfully the river was running slow because I'm not the bravest in the water!
I was to New Hampshire for snowmobiling.
Pennsylvania is right across the Delaware River from me, and I've gone there for The Philadelphia Zoo and to visit Hershey Park and the Lancaster area.
And I was to both the American side and the Canadian side of Niagra Falls, but I was pretty young. What I mostly remember from that trip was being scared to death to go on the Maid of the Mist boat ride...and I didn't, thank goodness!

==I've been on 3 = Carnival Cruises = went to =St. Thomas
St Maarten = awesome time on all of them
Puerto Rico = each island was beautiful

==Las Vegas 4 times stayed at the Flamingo right in the middle of the Strip =went in Oct so weather was fine=never got the hot days like they are having now we saw Sigfried & Roy and many more shows (funny thing is I have never been to Foxwoods Casino or Moheghan Sun and they are only say 2 hrs from where I live)

== New York numerous times
== New Hampshire = White Mountains -this State is my next door neighbor so I'm always going to different places there.
== I would go back to Vegas in a heart beat and go on more cruises too

Well living in Alaska I have yet to see the Panhandle (Juneau/Sitka), most of the Interior, the Arctic Circle, the Western side... or the Aluetians. I don't expect to see much more than I have though lol

I've driven through Canada... Edmonton, other parts of that area... I can't remember every place. :lol: it was a ll a blur. If I wanted to list them all I'd have to find the notebook we wrote in on the trip.

I've been to Deer Lodge, Montana. Spokane, WA & Seattle, WA

Portland, OR has become like a second home considering my best friend lives there...

I've driven from top to almost bottom of Cali stopping in Chico, Grass Valley, San Fran, San Diego, L.A. and Anaheim.

Been to Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and the Keys in Florida

I've update the list with major cities Though with Italy, I agree that sometimes some of the bigger impressions are left by some small places you visit off the road. Of all the countries I've visited, Italy is probably my favorite (leaving aside the countries I've lived at and Israel); I've been there 4 times so far.

Very interesting list! You travel a lot.
Israel, Russia, Germany and France are the places that interest me much!
About small places in Italy, they are really worth a look! It's a pity they aren't known that much. A suggestion, if you have a chance to return in Italy visit Alberobello in Apulia, Lucca in Tuscany and the villages in Liguria from Sanremo to La Spezia! And Matera (very particular) and Urbino.

I hear ya on that! that is one of my main issues with travelling just about anywhere! :lol: I hate flying period because my stomach gets all screwed up, always has, but it's what I have to do, right?

One cool thing about travelling to Alaska, we're almost dead last on the timezones, so you'd gain a full day if you flew back over here... you'd be travelling back in time!

If you ever do get to come this way (and this goes to any and all) and need some ideas of what you can do and see never hesitate to ask! I may not know everything about every place, but I can give you some out of the way stuff you might like to investigate!

There's many places I'd love to visit like Alaska and Hawaii, these are the places I've been mostly on family vacations growing up. The rest are from skating trips.

Oh, I'm sure I'll be back in Italy (nock-on-wood).

The first time I was there was actually in 1988/89, when we spent 2 months essentially in a refugee camp near Rome. At the time, we hitchhiked all around the area (Cevetavechia, etc.), and spent whatever money we got by selling our stuff at the Americano market in Rome on the standard Florence-Venice-San Marino-Remini trip. At the time, we literally had no money; we lived in Ladispoli, and hitchhikiing was the only way we could get to Rome. Luckily, Italians are absolutely the best people in the world, and would always give us a lift. I remember one time my dad and I were hitchiking to some ruins around Christmas; the family actually had to really squeeze to let us into the car; and, as they were letting us out they actually gave us gifts - a bottle of some bubbly for dad, and a children's book for me! Only in Italy!

The second time I was in Italy was in 1994. It was my first real European adventure, and I was just really hungry to see everything. My "traveling philosophy" really hasn't matured at that point, so I just wanted to see the big cities; we spent the three weeks going all over the country. I would never do a trip like that now, but then again it did actually give me a pretty good idea about the country.

My third time in Italy was a couple of years later with my husband (then boyfriend), and almost doesn't count because it was just Rome (which is probably one of three or four of my favorite cities in the world).

Finally, when I was in Italy a few years ago, I really got to see it! It was only a small portion - essentialy the Northwest of the country - but I really got to see it well, with big cities, small towns, the wine country, and even some hiking. I hope I will still go back there one day, but it will probably be in many-many years.

My biggest "must see" item in Italy is probably Ravenna, though I also want to spend a week or so just exploring Tuscany. Oh, mine! So many places, so little time!

I have been to every state in the US except for Alaska and Hawaii. I have been to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland ( I was an exchange student in High School). I have also been to Mexico and Canada.

Not too many places. I plan on seeing more of the US before I head oversees again.

I've been in all but these 6 states:Alaska, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota & Mississippi. I've been all over Alberta & some of BC. In Europe:Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, France & Denmark. My most favorite destination? Yellowstone National Park.

My favorite destination would have to be the Grand Canyon. Even seeing it in person is breathtaking and it still looks fake, even standing there. I don't know how else to explain it.

My second favorite place is New Orleans. I have been there a number of time and went there on my honeymoon. Of course this was all before Katrina so I don't know if I could go back.

Thanks Toni! I very appreciate it! The same applies, if you (or anybody else of the forum) come in Northern Italy. Don't hesitate to ask me!
