Paris next week for five days. $390USD Roundtrip from Boston on Air France, direct flights. Couldn't say no!

 

[Cory Trevor]

My last 3 trips were:

Philippines
Italy
France/Germany

Thinking of Slovenia for trip next year so good to hear.

Heard the same about Slovenia. After Spain it will be my next.

You been to Dubrovnik? Would also like to go there.

Booked a vacation for early September. Two days in Reykjavik and then 15 days on the west coast of Ireland, starting in Galway and ending in Cobh.

No, it was a tossup between Slovenia and Croatia. However, seeing they are close to each other, who knows, may do both.

Just got back from a week in Japan. Much of it was spent in Tokyo with a few friends who had never been before, so we did the typical tourist sites.

Before they arrived though, I spent 2 nights in Sapporo. Was lucky enough to see the cherry blossoms bloom. Very neat trip.

Went on a road trip in March.

Started in Toronto and made a stop in North Carolina for 2 nights for a Canes/Leafs game and then went on to Florida to watch Leafs/Panthers Leafs/Tampa and a Jays spring training game. It was spring break/st pattys so safe to say it was lit. My buddy pulled a full 24 hrs on the way back from Florida to Toronto

Was just looking for a thread like this.
Just booked my first solo travel. Landing in Bangkok September 3, not sure what I'm going to do though. Planning to be away for 7-8 months in Sout East Asia.

Phuket is tremendous.
Enjoyed Kuala Lumpur for the short time I was there.
Really, really love the Philippines.

Just got back from Paris

the place has gotten worse over the past few years

 

[Thucydides]

Currently in Albania. Beautiful country and cheap! Great beaches . rented a car and drove through most of it.

Next is montenegro, Croatia , and then Bosnia.

That's what I constantly hear about it from my older friends who have taken multiple trips over the last 10-20 year. Makes me a little sad I never made an effort to go before, because how they describe what it's turned to it just doesn't sound enjoyable. Especially with the effort it would require to get there from the States.

Nice. Totally interested in Albania. Might put that on the list for this year.

How they describe Paris?

2nd time in my life I've been back to my home.

Didn't want to come during rainy season but couldn't pass up another trip considering the circumstances. First day here and we couldn't have asked for a better break in the weather... hoping it's a good omen lol.

Nice

Where is this?

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Just got back from my 3 weeks in Africa.

Cape Town doesn't need any explanation. I was put off a little by the safety, but the city is incredible. Soooo much to do - reminded me of where I went to school in Boulder, Colorado, except on the water.

Rwanda blew my mind though. Kigali is the cleanest city I've ever been to, including cities in Asia, US and Europe. Friendly people, amazing weather, so safe and the gorilla trekking was arguably the coolest experience I've ever had. Being so close to a silverback gorilla is something else.

Paris used to have a good music community but over the past ten years more and more cafes have been banned from playing live music and there is now restrictions on street performers that now has many performers bi-passing Paris all together

Where is this?

Freetown, Sierra Leone. Have family here so we'll probably end up spending the next week or so in Salone and then head off to visit Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana as well where we'll spend a few days in Abidjan and Accra before heading home.

Glad to hear you had an excellent trip. Never been to Eastern or Southern Africa but Zambia, Tanzania and South Africa are high on my have-to-visit list. Rwanda sounds especially intriguing and a place I'll definitely have to add now as well.

Beautiful pics.

Thanks PP62. Haven't seen you around much lately. Saw you were on the Discord server though. Get online once in a while, would ya?

Let me know if you need any suggestions for Ghana, was there last year along with Liberia. I love West Africa, but he heat right about now is unbearable there. I was literally covered in sweat perpetually.

Yes, Central/Southern Africa are great. Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia are all beautiful. I would also recommend Rwanda to anyone, it's a shame that most people just associate it with the genocide and assume it's unsafe. It's the fastest growing economy on the continent.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Going to Las Vegas and LA for a week at the start of June looking forward to it.. so much to do.

 

[Sniper99]

Grand Canyon, Sedona, Prescott (the best meadery in the world is there).

Definitely Scottsdale for shopping. Glendale obviously for sports. Not much for sight seeing. Maybe do a hike one day? I'd really just reccomend doing city stuff

Phoenix was amazing. I didnt go to Grand Canyon or Sedona or any places like that. I golfed about and hour north west of Phoenix. Majority of the trip though was in the Phoenix area.

Walked ASU campus grounds. Beautiful scenery
took in a Dodgers-Padres spring training game the afternoon I got there.
Went and caught Caps/Coyotes on my birthday, took in Dbacks Opening Day (there is a regular baseball game and then there is OPENING FREAKING DAY!!) What an experience. I then walked down the street and took in Rockets/Suns. It was a cool experience I suppose as where I live we dont get live NBA games but no James Harden killed that a little.

I golfed twice. Went to a whole bunch of bars and stuff, tried out a lot of craft beers, hardly had any of the usual big name brand beers.

I'd definitely do Phoenix again.
