Its a toughie for me cos I've been to so many awesome countries......I guess my faves would be Paris, London, Pompeii, Hawaii and the Great Barrier Reef. Aaaargghh its been so since I've travelled! I'm making myself jealous just from talking about this!

My wife surprised me with tickets to Cancun/Cozemel for my birthday about five years ago. Cozemel was perfect. We went in the middle of March and the beaches were almost deserted, the weather was gorgeous, the food was perfect. On the way home I bought a huge bottle each of Kalua, and Bacardi dark for about six dollars each.

The Rocky Mountain foothills, big sky country of Montana, some of the trout streams in New York State, our very own North Ontario bush country....My faves.

Saint John, N.B.
The Forks Dam......a high point over a river in Albert County NB. Lousy with white-tailed deer and ruffed grouse, the river full of trout. Gorgeous, rough country.

Yep, I love getting around.....travelling, I mean ;)

I've been to France, Switzerland, England, Denmark, Austria, Germany (for a day!!), Hungary, Italy, The US (only LA and Hawaii), Fiji, New Caledonia and ummmm.....a few places in Australia. I'm pretty damn lucky, I know! But actually, most of those places I went to by myself while on gap year.

But I can NOT wait to add Canada onto my list!!!

Best place I have been so far. Second though would be Toronto, Ontario Canada, I love the city, and if I could make it my home I would.

Best places I've been in the last couple of years are Montreal and Barcelona. Cities change and these two are really finding their own identities right now. New York is always great as well. Quebec City Too.

I would have to say that every place I have been to holds its own unique qualities, which is a testament to the diversity of our planet.

When I feel laid back and just want to enjoy interactions with good people, hands down is Atlantic Canada and parts of the Southern United States.

Venice is a great place if you don't mind waking up to a flooded hotel.

Munich was very interesting to me, especially a very scary ride on a cable train up a mountain.

Zurich reminded me of something out of the movie Amadeus, classical music being played in the streets, absolutely beautiful.

I hold a special lace in my heart for Alaska, America's last frontier.

The Big Island of Hawaii was also something spectacular, a mix of fire and water.

I have been to Australia but did not travel much other than Melbourne on a New Year's Eve, I remember teasing my friend and referring to it as Sleepy Hollow.

Greece has rich history and beautiful islands.

Ireland,UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, US Virgin Islands, Aruba all great places.

I've always wanted to go to Sweden, Eastern Euroe, Norway and Russia, hopefully by next year I'll do that.

Sometime after that I hope to hit China and Japan.

But I have always held one dream since I was a kid, a two week expedition to Antarctica. Ships sail from Pantagonia a few times a year.Maybe before I kick the bucket.
