It's a tie between Cancun, Mexico and Dusseldorf, Germany. Cancun may win by a hair because the weather is soo much better http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I lived on Okinawa, Japan for three and a half years, and they were the best years of my life.
Billy Optimist... My family is from NYC...Brooklyn actually, and I agree that it really is a great place. The food is the best!!! |
NEW ORLEANS BABEEEE.....hopefully Mr. 33 and I will be going back there soon!

I lived in Okinawa, Japan(an island of mainland Japan) for 7 years as a kid and those were definitely the best years of my life. I didnt live there but in college I went with one of my fraternity brothers to visit his family in Chile, South America. I visited for 3 weeks on Christmas break back in 95 and that was an awesome trip. The water at the beach there at Vina Del Mar is ice cold and it runs up the coast from the Antartic. Its pretty cool cause summer time is during Christmas season there. I have to add Lake Tahoe. Its heaven to me. I think its been to comercialized the last thirty years. My family has a cabin there.

Shopgirl, I have a great friend in Brooklyn. I have to agree the food rocks!! And she has the cutest accent.

I lived in Tokyo for two years when I was young. It was a wonderful experience. As for vacation spots, I had a great time when I went to Jamaica. I love the beach!
|
There are so many places I've visited and loved...my favorite stateside is San Francisco.
|
Bali, Indonesia. The most spiritual area in the world. Plus great beaches, but too much Australian with their oi oi oi. Gets annoying.
|
Since I posted the topic, I should tell you all my favorite place.....
Last summer I went to Germany as well as Austria & the Czech Republic. We were in the southern part of Germany around Munich, for the most part & I have to say that it is the most beautiful place! It was such a memorable trip http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif & I can't wait to go back someday! [This message has been edited by StaC (edited January 17, 2001).] |
Hi StaC...
My best friend has lived in Germany for the past year and a half. She also says it's beautiful. However, she is so thrilled to be coming back to the states this February!!! |
Stone Mountain, GA. It's SO pretty up there!
|
I speak German! Thats a kind of random comment but not really...
------------------ Just because and idea is stupid doesn't mean it won't work. |
Hi Billy Optimist,
if you speak German, check out the German version of my fraternities home page. The English version is fine, but the German version is much more extensive. http://www.kdstv-bodensee.de And for the topic: boy that is a hard question!!! nature wise, I'd go for Yosemite in winter, the Mojave desert and the Kyclad (?) islands in Greece (haven't been to tropical islands, yet, though) best cities: North America: NYC, San Francisco, Toronto Europe: there are so many - I love Rome but there are a lot of 2nd places! |

I spent 18 days in Kiev in high school - i had a blast, it's crazy seeing buildings older than the nation you're from. plus nightlife is amazing there - basically it's just an amazing city overall

Costa Rica -- my hubby and I went there for our honeymoon. We did a totally cool package though -- the first 3 days were adventure based -- we went whitewater rafting, swinging through the very tops of the rainforest trees; hiking in the rainforests; bathing in the fresh mineral mud from the bottom of a volcano -- including the bath in the natural hot springs -- watching a volcano erupt while sitting in the natural springs at the bottom (well very far down the bottom - we didn't want to melt!) -- as well as having individual log cabins with a huge picture window from which you could lay in bed and watch the volcano erupting throughout the night -- beat any fireworks show I've ever seen (and I ain't talking about....well nevermind! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif)
Then the last 4 days they transported us to a full service resort -- everything included -- which was fab-o-las! (Except the breakfast meal which always included fresh octopus -- uuuggghhh -- and the Spanish theme dinner which included pig head -- uuuugggghhhhhh again!) But I must say, if I had it to do again, which I hopefully will, the adventure stuff was THE BEST. And it was all relatively cheap -- a whole week with all expenses paid for about $1400 per person. And -- Costa Rican Rum is the smoothest drink. Guado sours -- uhm uhm uhm -- there's a reason they tell you not to drink in a hot tub -- same applies for the natural hot tub of a hot spring at the bottom of a volcano -- I don't really remember a whole lot from that night http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif! |
I'd have to say it's a three way tie. In no particular order:
1) Quebec City: Went in HS and spent time in the city's suburbs. Very cool! 2) Boston: I love it up there. I just love the history and architecture of Beacon Hill. 3) Osage Beach, MO: I am in love with that lake! I want to rent a beach house there next summer! I stayed at the Marriott Tan-Tar-A resort and fell in love with the view, the breeze off the water. |
More about Chile,
They have this very potent liquor called "Pisco" and its made from the peal of a grape. It has the color of white wine but its liquor. They use it to mix with all kinds of things. Pisco with sour mix, frozen or on the rocks tastes pretty good. Coke or Ginger Ale and Pisco is another. Its got a lime taste to it. They also have orange beer there(Orange Shoppe) that you can get on tap at the restaurants there. Sounds like it would taste bad but its not too bad at all. Puerto Rico is pretty cool too. My younger brother got married there about 2 years ago. Thats where the Bacardi Factory is. The rainforrest there is awesome. They have hiking trails through it. They have this singing frog there that says "cokee". No Joke. Kevin [This message has been edited by Miami1839 (edited January 31, 2001).] |
The Canary Island off of Spain - i guess they call it the "Florida" of Europe as in a quick getaway spot for many Europeans. The best part is sitting in a cafe and have someone speaking German on one side of you, another in French and someone from England bringing you your drinks. I loved all the accents!

new orleans. being from nebraska...well, there isn't a lot of culture up here. so going to new orleans and walking down bourbon street and shopping in the french market...it was all quite an experience. plus the city is just saturated in history and beauty. too bad i love nebraska...i'd move to new orleans in a heartbeat.

Out of the US--has to be Cancun. I remember going there in 1993 when I was 14, drinking Coronas for the first time, having a huge crush on this 30 year old from Toronto who first introduced me to the Barenaked Ladies.
In the US--Cape Cod. After my HS graduation my then BF and his family invited me to their summer house on Mashnee Island. I was in awe at the beauty of the homes on the shore and I fell in love with it right away. BTW, if I can go to Atlanta for Convention this year I hope to visit Stone Mountain. I hear their laser show's pretty awesome and they're supposed to have a great fireworks disply for the 4th of July! ------------------ "Talk doesn't cook rice."--Someone smart Visit Alpha Gamma Delta-Delta Sigma chapter! |

You guys are cracking me up talking about Stone Mtn and the laser show..
I grew up in Atl. and my grandmother used to drive me out to Stone Mtn to see the laser show like every other weekend! Hey, do they still do the "Eye of the Tiger" song in the show..? How about "The Devil Went down to GA?" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif Cracks me up! |
within the US -- San Francisco
Outside US -- Antigua, West Indies |
I'm definately torn!!! My top two are Nice, France, and Jamaica. I loved Nice more than any other place in Europe, but I recently studied abroad in Jamaica. NOTHING compares to the beauty of the beaches, forrests, and people of Jamaica. So, do I sound like a comercial? Sorry! I miss it very much, especially now that it's spring break, and I'm still rotting in Wisconsin! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hmm...favorite place in the world???
Definitely Negril, Jamaica. My parents are from Jamaica, so I have frequented the island a LOT(spent wayyyy too many of my summers there)...but a couple of years ago, I went to Negril with a bunch of friends and just HUNG OUT, and did nothing in particular. It seems that time slows down out there... Dang, I'm getting nostalgic...now I have a taste for some Jamaican food! LOL In the United States: Definitely NYC!!! The food there is off the glass!!! PrettyPetite |
I have to agree with Jamaica. I went there for my honeymoon and loved it! All the drinks, all the food, all the entertainment. Walking along the beach at night with your loved one. I can't wait to go back.
|
Ahhhh, Jamaica, I miss it so much I could cry. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif Time definately DOES slow down down there. It's like there's regular time, and Jamaica time, where everything is about 2 hours behind. I don't even think there's a word in Patois (Jamaica slang/language) for stress. I might actually apply for grad school at University of the West Indies in Kingston. I visited the whole island, and my favorite part was definately off the coast of May Pen. We took a yaght (or however you spell it!) out to our own private island for the day. It was wonderful.
I MISS JAMAICA!!! prdlocal http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif |
I would have to say Key West, just because I have spent the best spring breaks there! There's so much to do: from para-sailing, to snorkeling to going to the bars at night! The scenery is beautiful too!!
|
I guess it would be a tie between Key West and Windsor.
|
I just went to Greece about two weeks ago, and it was INCREDIBLE. I also lived in Washington, DC for three months and loved it, too.
|
i would have to say atlanta and los angeles.
------------------ I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind |
in states--- atl
out of US--- germany, the nightlife and shopping was AWESOME, and the guys are very handsome I might add http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif ------------------ University of Alabama--- ROLL TIDE!!!!! |
