Mike Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I think the best vacations are the most anticipated and relaxing. So far for me it was a family trip to Disneyland, where we spent several days there. As a kid I remember going to the lake and meeting girls there who were also from out of town, we had so much fun swimming and listen to music while sitting in the sun and enjoying the summer sun and cool lake effect breeze. I also rememeber a long awaited trip to an amuzement park in Texas in the early seventies. That was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Talladega Superspeedway. Every year. The mental floss weekend. Smoke cigars. Scratch. Cuss. Play poker. Practical jokes. Watch car racing. Full blown testoserone for 4 days. I will make this trip every year until I die. After that, somebody is carrying my ashes (in an approved container) to my seat.

DiggsUK Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I can empathise with that JR, except the scratching and the cigars. When you shake your sleeping bag, is it like somebody opened a window at the parmesan factory? I would like to think that my best vacation is still to come, but the most memorable one so far was the time my wife and I travelled around east Africa in a truck. Extreme squits perched over a hastily dug hole, listening to lions 'chatting' somewhere nearby at night, in the Bush, sticks in the mind. As does attempted muggery in Nairobi, camping on a rubbish tip to avoid the mines in Mozambique, a very funny night with local 'ladies' at a Bulawayo jazz club, bungee jumping at Victoria Falls, falling out of my 'raft' into the Zambezi and loads of others. I'd love to go back someday, particularly to the Ngorugoru crater with the kids. This is on the proviso that the Lodge hasn't been turned into a McD or a Starbucks by then, and that the animals haven't simply left due to over-exposure to tourists.

Foxy Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Corfu is a lovely place to go, just avoid the noisy tourist over-run places, as there are so many other wonderful quieter places to visit :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanAm Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Without a doubt, my 1995 honeymoon in Greece was my best vacation ever. It was my wife's first trip to Greece, but my third, so I was able to play tour guide. We spent two weeks driving around the Peloponnesian (sp?) peninsula and then 10 days on the island of Kefalonia. One of the most romantic dinners we ever enjoyed was in a quaint little restaurant in Monemvasia. The food was wonderful, the view spectacular and the service exceptional. And, I got to enjoy it all with the love of my life. What more could one ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
