What was your favorite vacation? Why?
Would you go there again?

For myself, I'm not sure what was my fav, but I used to live in Hawaii, so it was like being on vacation every weekend. I still enjoy visiting there.

The reasons are: the people, the weather, the food, the outdoor lifestyle, the music.

I'd like to return to Japan. In autumn.

I also love Vancouver Island, BC. I like the climate and the parks and museum.

Sounds fun!

For me it's the times we do Las Vegas and Grand Canyon and everything in-between.

I went to the Grand Canyon last Thanksgiving. It was cold and crisp, but uncrowded. We drove from Phoenix and I liked the Indian settlements along the way, and the canyon itself was impressive. I was a bit disappointed with Sedona, but am glad I saw it. In Phoenix, I enjoyed the Heard Museum.

I've never been to Vegas and am not sure I'd like it. Non-gambling suggestions?

I'd like to visit every state capital. So far I've been to maybe 4 of them among the 20 or so states I've visited. I'll be adding 2 or 3 states in Nov.

I don't gamble much myself. If you like the desert and historic places, everything within a couple hours of Vegas in any direction is awesome. Red Rock Canyon, old nearly ghost towns, the peacefulness of nothing as far as you can see...I just love it all out there.

(We use Vegas as our home base since rooms there are so cheap)

I love places on the east coast. Fresh air, Swimming in the ocean, Fishing, Camping, Clam digging. Lots of stars at night time. Very Warm, caring, loving people.

The only downside is the dam mosquitos. They are bad.

They always enjoy there continuous meals on me.

Rome was good, Australia (East coast) was good, so were many of the other places I've been to. But for me Egypt!

Based on my 1998 visit Egypt was definitely a dream. I think that it is still not geared up for the western tourist, and unless you are interested in ancient times don't bother going.

Landing about 9PM (getting dark) having to put up with officialdom at its extreme and finally jumping on an air-conditioned bus to get to your hotel (Mena House) about 1 hr away. The tour guide promptly tells everyone (30 or so) there are going to be delays checking in (big groan) but go to the bar ( big cheer) and wait for "a few minutes".

There we are sitting in the hotel bar (very plush) and I'm staring at a picture of the pyramids only for the picture to suddenly disappear (What's going on?) only for the picture to re-appear.

Oh my God, we are sitting in a bar with the flaming pyramids in our back garden! In realist terms the pyramids are 2 or 300 yards away. At that point I knew this holiday was going to be exceptional. I wasn't disappointed.

20 minutes later and a cold beer later, we are checked in and getting ready to hit the sack. Talk about excited.....wooohoooooooooo!

Couldn't sleep, much to the wifes annoyance!
