Share with us your trips ;)

I've been to Turkey, Spain, Canary Islands, Greek, Cyprus, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Russia and Norway, I think thats all.

I can tell you that the five first ones were just tourist traps. I would have liked to go a bit deeper in there and get to know the actual culture and not to just hang in the tourist area. Sure we did a few trips in there but thats nothing.

But I'm going to France and Thailand this year and hope to explore there a bit more than in my previous destinations :)

Wow, that's a lot of places! I wish I could go to Russia! The only country I've visited outside of the U.S. is Canada, and not for very long, either. I saw Niagara Falls. Inside the U.S. I've been to a few interesting places, including Hawaii and the Grand Canyon, but my absolute favorite place so far is Michigan's Upper Peninsula, especially Lake Superior, where my mother comes from. It's amazingly gorgeous!!!! Go there if you don't believe me. :D

Hawaii! I have always dreamed about going there! If I ever decide to go to Upper Peninsula I make sure that I visit Lake Superior :p

And I've been to Russia like more than 30 times so it's not that special to me anymore :D
 
Went on this huge family trip to Glacier National Park, Montana in 2006. Absolutely gorgeous. The best part was that we drove, didn't fly. We drove through colorado then up through Wyoming. We stopped at the Grand Tetons, then through Yellowstone, and then up through Montana to Glacier. Mountains. Breathtaking. Can't even begin to explain how amazing it was. There are pictures of my brother and I, in the heat of July, standing in the middle of a pile of snow. I have pictures of tine houses at the foot of huge rocky hills right before we hit the Grand Tetons, of little towns around huge glacial lakes only minutes from these beautiful parks, of Going to the Sun Road; driving up this straight two way road, only inches from dropping down the steep fall to the ground.

My descriptions can't come close to doing it justice.

If you like getting into the cultures of the countries, you'll enjoy Thailand! Thailand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, imho... :p Rich in culture and landscape. It's a great country to visit.

Traveling is so much fun. Last year, I went to the Philippines for a few weeks to visit my family. Loved it. :D
Two years ago I went to Australia, that was a lot of fun, it's such a beautiful country. Saw some kangaroos too, which was awesome. On the way to Australia, I stopped in Singapore and had some Indian food. Indian food is amazing.
My family loves to travel, we've been to every part of Thailand, 40 some States, and nearly 11 or more countries (nearly all in Asia :p).

Sometime in the future, I'd like to travel around Europe, that's one place I'm dying to go to. :D

Do you have family there? 'Cause I've been there more than 30 times myself, that's for sure. :rolleyes:

Actually I don't. I just went with my father when he used to visit there alot :D Like almost once a week or every other week.

So do you have family there? Or do you live in there? :)
 
I've been to:
Canada( live like 3 hours away from the border! :D)
Massachusetts(when I was really little)
Florida
New York
Montana( I have family there, so we drive there a lot.)

I want to take more International trips. :p
 
Just returned from a 3 day two night backpacking trip into the Yellowstone backcountry, a yearly family tradition and one that becomes more and more important to me the older I get. I am very sore today, but so amazed by the wonders of nature. I will never forget the scene of standing on the northern boundary of the national park, looking down south into Shelf Lake, with a sheer dropoff at my back, and the clouds rolling over the edge around me into Yellowstone, like the rolling fog from dry ice. A lonely wind was blowing and a raven cawing nearby, it really did feel as if I'd entered another world for a minute. I have been to Yellowstone National Park nearly 30 times and it never ever ceases to amaze me.

Yellowstone Park has just now been mentioned in the latest installment of my new Alipang Havens story!

That's very coincidental-- I just read the latest installment. Also coincidentally, a talk in church yesterday referenced the Lord's admonition to the Babylonian exiles to be good and productive citizens, which also appears in your latest installment.
 
I've stayed in the states on any trips I've taken (unfortunatly xD) though I've been to quite a few places there....

I've been to West Virgina several times to visit our former cat-breeder,
I've gone to Kentucy once or twice because my cousins used to live there and my grandma lives there,
My parents and I went to a cat show in Michigan once,
Recently (like Sauturday :p) I went to New York for like the 2nd or third time,
I've been to New Jersey in Ocean city when I was little,

aaaaand I was born in Florida.:D
oh and I frequently go to Pennslyvannia as it is right across the street from me.:D

My dad has gone to Mexico and Hondouras too and my cousins have been to Europe. Someday I dearly hope to end up in all those places and others.:D
 
The only really interesting place I've been to is the Niagara Falls. If you have never been there you have GOT to go there. Especially on the Maid of the Mist which is a boat that takes you next to the Falls. Totally awesome! I've been to Niagara Falls about 4 times in my life. Once when I was really small and 3 times in the past 5 years.

Some pics:

These two pics are from 4 years ago. Both of them were taken from the Maid of the Mist. I went to Niagara Falls again this summer but I haven't had the chance to upload the pics onto my computer yet.
 
I visited Niagara Falls 21 years ago and absolutely loved it. My grandma, however, bless her heart, took one look at it and turned to her friend and said, "That's nice. Let's go get a Diet Coke."
