1. Jon Stewart just asked this of Isabella Rosselini

Sweden

Oh, hell, the rest of Europe
And Las Vegas!

[Seabiscuit]

2. Vegas, baby! Can't forget Vegas!

[tuvor]

5. And while in Las Vegas

don't forget to visit the fabulous Liberace Museum!


Seriously, it was a highlight of my one and only trip there.

[TX-RAT]

16. Gotta love it.

Going next week to play in a Hold-em tournament, and again in Jan just for fun.
Where do y'all stay?

[Dorian Gray]

32. We make a yearly pilgrimage

to Vegas! A lot of fun! Though, more than three nights, and I start to go batshit crazy! We have stayed at the MGM Grand and at Mandalay Bay. I really would like to try the Venetian and the Mirage, but we've got player points at Mandalay, so we are staying there again. It's nice, with some great restaurants and some good bars. Plus, the hotel is pretty nice.

3. don't know how to spell Xtopa

it's way down in Mexico and the club med was great,but NOOOOOO we have to hate the French now and club meds are French. All of a sudden I really like Club Meds.

9. Ixtapa

[donheld]

4. Somewhere on a south pacific island

Preferably a nearly deserted island. Just a few hot men around.

[tuvor]

6. Wouldn't ALL the men be hot on a South Pacific island?

Don't mind me, my brain's winding down before I finally decide to turn in.

[donheld]

12. Honey

there are hot men and then there are HOT men

[eleonora]

11. we can't forget the hot men!

Sounds like my spot lol

[leftofthedial]

7. Portugal, Spain

Italy, Czech Republic

[Goathead]

8. Speaking of the South Pacific

This is my favorite spot. It is on the island of Ofu in American Samoa. I went there a few years ago. I was the only person on that beach.

[Seabiscuit]

10. That beach reminds me of a Beatles song:

"The long and winding road..."

[donheld]

13. That looks like heaven,,,,OH btw

welcome to speaking of heaven. :evilgrin:

[Goathead]

15. Praise Jeebus!

[Timebound]

14. Outer Banks Islands, North Carolina

Isolated if you want, or you can go to where there are more people. But there's something about being on a deserted-looking island that's just cool... :)

[Aiptasia]

18. Aaah, and ocracoke flunky like me

Race you to jockey's ridge. Oh wait, wrong barrier island. I must have left my brain back in Kill Devil Hills. I can remember deap sea fishing trips with my dad off of ocracoke, eating freshly prepared dolphin (don't go crazy, the fish not the mammal, mahi-mahi) and tasting my first "Bit-O-Honey" at the Pony Motel.

Actually, the Pony Motel was the one and only motel/hotel on the island at that time. It sure has changed.

I still own a lot in Kill Devil Hills, that backs up to the nature conservancy on the bay side (facing Maneo). I've always dreamed of retiring there.

17. Cape Cod

where we used to go when I was little.

[TX-RAT]

19. Destin Fla.

Been going there for years.
Vegas.
Manitoba Canada. Fly in fishing trips.
Damn thats 3!

[buckettgirl]

20. Eureka Springs Arkansas

We got married there. It is beautiful. It has everything anyone could want on a vacation (except beaches).
I love the Ozarks!

[tjdee]

21. NYC, French countryside, Italian countryside....and Hawaii.

I miss Manhattan so much even though it's not a vacation destination, really.

[huskerlaw]

22. Hawaii!

17 days and counting...thank god.

[motely36]

23. Rehoboth Beach

Friends of mine have a condo down there near the beach, and my partner and I just put a bid in on a mobile home down there.

[huskerlaw]

28. oh yeah,

I've been there. Got seasick on a dolphin watching tour. Then got horribly sunburned. Otherwise, fabulous place!

[matcom]

24. Mexico since i'll be there next month

for the 4th straight year

[Seabiscuit]

39. Where in Mexico?

[maveric]

25. Tiburon Island, Sonora Mexico

http://www.highonadventure.com/Hoa99oct/Sonora/sonora.htm
Quiet and scenic.My co worker grew up there and is buying a house on the island.

[Seabiscuit]

38. Tiburon, CA isn't bad either.

[mulsh]

26. Monte Rio, CA - Vacation Wonderland

at least that's what was on the sign that used to hang over River Road. the signs gone but it's still true. the bohemian grove is in monte rio, too but we don't like to talk about that.

[Seabiscuit]

37. Not far from where Hitchcock filmed "The Birds". Beautiful area.

[noonwitch]

27. Traverse City, Michigan

I like my home state, and it's nice to get away up north.

I would love to go to Prague, however, I just can't afford it.

[Seabiscuit]

29. Anyone ready for round 2 tonight?

[Cadence]

30. Maui.

[Dorian Gray]

31. Italy

I love the history in Rome. The beauty of the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. The worldliness of Milan. The quaint tourist-trapness of Venice. The artwork of Florence. The food everywhere! It's wonderful in so many ways!

Hawaii is also good. I spent my honeymoon there, and I stayed in some great places. I preferred the Big Island to the rest, primarily because it was sleepy and uncrowded. We stayed in a kick ass hotel, and it was just heaven. But, Kuaii and Maui and Oahu all had things going for them, as well!

[andino]

33. Santorini, Greece.

[Seabiscuit]

35. GREAT choice! Heaven on earth. Been there two summers.

[andino]

40. Went there in 1999

I wanted to go back there ever since. I have a feeling that it will be a little harder to go back there now with all thats going on in the world.

[Seabiscuit]

45. I hope you get back there - it's sad to think that the craziness out there

is inhibiting people's travel plans.

I was there in 1967 and 1970. I'm becoming an old fart.

[Gemini Cat]

34. Paris and London

Great food, great conversation, great thinkers and great people.
Best of all, not one fundy asshole to be found.

[flamingyouth]

36. Molokai, Hawaii

Or pretty much anywhere in Hawaii, for that matter. But I do like Molokai a lot.

[auburngrad82]

41. Williamsburg, VA

Especially if you stay in one of the historic homes.

[Kellanved]

42. French Atlantic Coast during the Summer,

Dutch Canal Coast in Winter. Bourgogne or Alsace in between ;-) .

[Seabiscuit]

43. Now here's a poster after my tastes. Love those places!

[Dastard Stepchild]

44. I rather enjoyed New Orleans

We had a great time there...

[Seabiscuit]

46. Still dying to get to New Orleans. I wish I'd had a chance to get there

in my 20's.
