  1. Unfortunately I haven't done much traveling, though I've always wanted to. I'd especially love to travel to Europe. I'm from California. I have been to Key West, Florida once though and really enjoyed it there. It was quite some time ago. The only other places I've been are Lake Tahoe during the winter for the snow, Las Vegas, and a couple of hours spent in Ensenada, Mexico (which I don't really recommend)and Catalina Island when a cruise I'd been on docked there. Oh, and Yosemite more recently, which is quite beautiful. (Nikki Marie on rafflecopter)

    1. I watched some travel show on PBS a few months back and they were in Key West. Seems like it'd be an interesting place to visit.

    1. When I was in junior high, I was extremely obsessed with Australia. I was sure I wanted to move there once I was done with school. I would still like to visit though. :)

  9. I used to live in Canada and one sight not many people seem to visit is Lynn Canyon, it's gorgeous and has a suspension bridge over some glacier water. You can see some really large waterfalls and the blue green water rushing by. There are really nice paths you can hike along and a spot to set up for picnics. There is also an area set up with the history if you're interested in that.

  12. Zion's national park in Utah. It's beautiful! Just don't go during the hottest part of summer. Those red rocks get HOT!

    ReplyDelete
  13. The place I enjoyed the most was Alaska in the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  14. All around Florida! Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, Downtown Disney, etc. I wish I was there now! :(.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I haven't really traveled anywhere! I went to Chicago for a week and that was about it. It was awesome though!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Zion National Park in Utah :) Lots of great spots to see there :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wyoming is often overlooked as a beautiful place. I think b/c they run the interstate through the most barren parts, however, if you get off the beaten path there is a lot of gorgeous areas. More than the obvious and well visited Yellowstone or Devil's Tower, the lesser visited Medicine Bow National Forrest is a fine place for nature lovers.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Orlando, Florida! Walt Disney World is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think everyone should visit the Smoky Mountains. It is a beautiful place.

  30. I loved North Carolina, along the blue ridge mountain parkway, and looking glass falls and sliding rock, had so much fun on that trip

    ReplyDelete
  31. If you had the option, I would say Stuttgart, Germany. I was there while in the military for a little over a year. It's definitely worth the trip.

    ReplyDelete
  32. South Dakota - it is ruggedly beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow one place I think everyone should visit is definitely the Grand Canyon, take the railroad in a observation car, spend the night at the Canyon and if you can get up early and see the sunrise, or at least see the sunset it is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I finished The Orchid Thief about a month ago, and a lot of it is about the history of the wetlands there (where orchids thrive), it really gave me a new view on Florida instead of just thinking it's all Disney, oranges, and Miami. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hmm, well my two favourite trips have been driving across Canada and going to Cancun, Mexico. Quebec has some great scenic and historic places to visit, same with all the Maritime provinces. PEI is really neat.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well I haven't been a broad traveler. Mostly here in the midwest. But that doesn't mean they don't have their magical places. Such as Holland Michigan (Has the tulips and the old fashioned town), The Henry Ford museum in Michigan. Western Wisconsin, rolling beautiful hills, farm land, Amish folks, good food. Great place to camp and enjoy nature. Western Tennessee in the Land between the lakes. Gorgeous rural country.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think I should return to Alaska. What a beautiful state!

    ReplyDelete
  38. The Black Hills of South Dakota

    ReplyDelete
  39. Seriously. It is definitely worth it. Hike Harneys Peak. Drive the Needles Highway. See Mt. Rushmore. The Badlands are relatively close by, but not in the Black Hills.

  40. I think everyone should go to Nashville at least once!

  43. So many places are stunning, but I think Niagara Falls tops them all. Where else does the very ground vibrate as you get bathed in mist and soak in quirky history?

  53. I absolutely love going to North Conway, New Hampshire, any time of the year! In the summer there are some cool theme parks for kids, Story Land, Santa and Wild West. They have trails along the many rivers and streams We especially love going to the hidden caves. It is a long trail where you can go into a lot of cool caves. There are tons of outdoor sports to do including fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming and so much more. There are many places where you can rent equipment. They have a really cool mini golf place called Pirate's Cove that has two courses to choose from. In the winter, you can go skiing, skating, sledding, etc. To top it all off, shopping is tax free in New Hampshire. They also have the cheapest liquor of any State! The restaurants are great too. They have chains like Applebee's and 99 and many local restaurants with outstanding food. For accommodations, I recommend either the Comfort Inn at Pirate's Cove, or my personal favorite, Residence Inn by Marriott. Please consider going. You will not be disappointed!
