    Fiji was great, especially the company of a woman six years older than I at the time.

    New Zealand was fun... except for all the idiot Americans I went with.

    Just went to Yellowstone, with a good friend of mine from school. She lives in Idaho very close to the park. THAT was fun. So pretty, even though only a small portion of the park was open. But it was nearly empty. And I saw bears!

    Tough to pick. But I'm hoping my vacation in August to Europe will be fun. Just gotta get read

    Well, last summer I went on a school trip to Europe. Landed in Frankfurt, stayed a few days in Germany, then went to Salzburd for a couple of days. After that, we went to Switzerland for two days, staying in Luzerne. Then we journeyed to Nice in France(that was one doozy of a bus ride). We stayed there for a couple of days, enoying the roasting 100 plus degree temps. We finished it up with four days in Paris. During the entirety of this vacation, I recieved a crash course in Football(Soccer) culture, on account of the fact that the entire time we were there, the world cup was being played out. Never before in my life have I seen such fanaticism displayed towars a sporting event. During our stay in Luzern, the Swiss were victorius in their game against, IIRC, Togo. I thought the city was going to tear itself apart at the seams from all the excitement(and mini-riots) resulting from the victory.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    A week in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Saw lions everyday! Was really amazing.

    Greece was probably the best in many ways.

    Travelled around the islands, met and got to know a few women. My "favorite" star being a young American college girl also travelling alone, like me. She was brave, tough, so beautifully feminine, adventurous, fun, romantic, ethical, intellectual, fresh & horny!. In the evenings when we'd find some place to eat far from everything else, and spend time on the beach in the dark with light reflected off the waves. It was tremendous. We spent about a week travelling together before she had to return to America. She'd been there slightly ahead of me. Beautiful beaches, hills, adventure, sunsets, romance, amazing food, fine drink, it was great. I could actually write a book about it.

    Costa Rica was great. Love the people down there. Wasn't crazy about the scorpion and tarantula in the house, though. Pretty good food.

    The Yukon was the best. Huge gorgeous terrain and almost devoid of life. Took a great Cessna flight over the territory and enjoyed the company of some very friendly locals. Nothing like staying in a hotel and being woken up in the middle of the night because the guy's dog in the next room starts barking.

    My kind of place.

    Most definitely the trip to Europe (well France and Spain) I went on with my school in August/October. After working for 2 years to help my parents pay for it and doing heaps of fundraising stuff with the school I went for the 3 week trip and, although I expected to enjoy it, it was heaps better than I could ever have imagined.

    It ended up making me decide that I want to live abroad. And also made me regret wasting time in French last year cause I didn't have a teacher. So I've taken French again this year and it's suddenly a lot more enjoyable. Even if there is nobody else taking it.

    Paris was nice but I especially loved Lyon and Aix-en-Province. So now ever since I've gotten back from there I'm already saving all the money from my job to return.

    Thumbs up Re: Best vacation you ever had

    My vacation to the Philippines on Nov. 2006. sorry i forget to tell the tale when I returned. this is obviously the best time and place.

    I first stayed in Manila for 3 days staying with my uncle and cousins. it was great and beautiful. I was gonna go to the Mall of Asia (biggest mall in Asia I believe) but i took a nap when I was supposed to go, in a room only lit by the sun.

    Then I went to Cebu City stayed there with more relatives for 2 weeks. I met some cousins, my grandma, uncle, and cousins. I mostly went to malls, restaurants, and visited cousins during my stay here. the city was very hot and sunny. it would be like California.

    then I went to the province of Leyte. I stayed in Southern Leyte, San Juan (also known as Cabalian) for a month. I met ALOT of my cousins, uncles, etc. relatives. I stayed in a very nice villa. wish I had a pool this is what it looks like:
    During the Christmas season, there was alot of caroling at my house, due to me giving more money then most others would. my relatives would be kinda angry at me for doing this; but even a band caroled at my house, and said this was for us (they said our family name). we had to give more money for their great service. I would visit other towns, and I would see beautiful palm trees, the gleaming sea, rice farms, animals and scary mountains. the road was right next to these mountains. (there was a landslide that killed thousands which made the ride even more daunting) I also swam in the sea, bought market supplies with my relatives, saw a torch festival and went to my uncles/cousin's houses. during Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, lots people partied at my house. friends of relatives and friends of friends. the men would do kareoke all day, while drinking beer, (litteraly all day I woke up in the morning they were still singing) cooking in the back, talking and watching tv upstairs and down the villa became really lively with so much people in it. they would still be there the next day.

    After a month I returned to Cebu and went to the mall, visited relatives, etc. again. I also returned during the Sinulog festival, and I had mass at a cathedrel, in the rain, and then visited an old cathedrel bult by Ferdinand Maggellan. inside were lots of gold Sto. Ninos and statues of saints, Christ and Mary. there was also a monastery there, with old 16th century architecture.

    I may return next year and can't wait if i do!!!
