Just wanting to know the favorite country to which you have traveled abroad.

Mine would have to be Switzerland with Austria as a close second and Britain / London as my tertiary.

WOW very nice pictures!!

For me I have a soft spot for the Canary Islands, and Vienna stole a big piece of my heart.

best,Herman

I had to do a double take on the first picture .... there is not a single piece of paper/chewing gum to see on the street - nice! it is like Disney clean there.

Would love to visit the land of chocolate! Great pics btw.

Favourite country that i have visited would be the Cook Islands - paradise in the Pacific.

I live about 15miles south of Durham and its lovely cathedral, if you ever travel north on the train up the east coast main line into durham just before you get to Durham station look to your right and if you have a camera you may be able to get a great shot overlooking durham, with both the castle and cathedral in shot

I need to try Canada. I know it is beautiful and just "next door".

Japan is not on my short list, but would like to travel there at some point. The photos on Google Earth look astonishing. Anywhere in France that I have been is magical and Italy is a destination that is on our next trip to Europe.

Thanks!!

Trurolexer · 2 December 2008, 09:57 PM

For now...SINGAPORE!!! Very nice and clean city.

greenfan · 2 December 2008, 10:51 PM

My best trip is everytime I go to London. I've been there already 8 times and my fisrt trip was when I was 15 !! But everytime I see a different city - last August was a kid's trip, since I travelled with my two daughters - I see different things, eat at different restaurants....
Next trip is planned for the end of January...

rainman_16 · 3 December 2008, 12:56 AM

Can't say I have a favourite however I can list some favourites:
- New Zealand: both the north and south islands... very different from each other but both equally beautiful
- Italy: everywhere we've been has been spectacular for different reasons... Tuscany (Firenze and Siena), Rome, Como, Venice, Amalfi Coast. Will be heading more south next time we visit in a few years.

Although I would love to travel the world, my priorities at this time would be to visit India, Japan, Switzerland and Holland.

JimSnyder · 31 December 2008, 01:16 PM

The Land of Terry Newton. Since I've never been out of the country...wait does Canada count. It was Canada Day so no one was there

Chris B · 3 December 2008, 01:07 AM

Great pics guys

I love the USA, my holiday starts when they hand me the key to the V8

One place that stands out is Yosemite, simply stunning!

DSJ · 3 December 2008, 01:20 AM

I'm not that well traveled, but I do love Mexico!

cwru32 · 3 December 2008, 06:02 AM

sini1717 · 3 December 2008, 08:38 AM

gmh1013 · 3 December 2008, 09:12 AM

Germany!
Being from Arizona I use to run into Euro's who were always taken back by the vastness
of AZ from Sedona to Monument valley....lots would tell be they would love to live
in AZ and I took it for granted all my life.

rpryan55 · 3 December 2008, 11:17 AM

Beautiful shots, Richard. Paris was always a favorite of ours, but Israel must top my list. It is an awesome and almost painful beauty, and it is absolutely so steeped in history as to bring a person to tears. I will never get that country out of my head or my heart.

I agree!

My lovely wife and I want to travel there in the worst way, but the "dangers" of the region are keeping us from doing so.

I love Israel as a nation and pray for their safety often!

abigsecret · 3 December 2008, 02:24 PM

Every place has it's charm, but one of the most memorable vacations was the one to Cape Town in South Africa! Absolutely gorgeous!

It had such in impact on me (I was 18) that I decided to move there after school. I was almost set to go, found a job, and than I met my now (American) husband.
It was about the same distance from my home to move to the States as it was to move to SA, so I decided to give this boy a chance! Worked out great so far!

I also loved Switzerland, Germany, Spain (Barcelona), Mexico (Baja), and many parts here in the USA (WA, PA, CA, AZ)!

I am looking at Cape Town as my next destination (when things improve economically). Mickeydanish has already provided me with lots of info on the "Mother City" of Africa.

A big secret - what were your impressions? Franschoek was recently on a list of top 10 places to visit.

abigsecret · 4 December 2008, 03:19 AM

The places I remember most are the Table Mountain and Robben Island which are both very touristy of course, but you can't miss! The tour of the prison where Nelson Mandela was held so many years is unforgettable!

My favorite place was Boulder Beach, where you can swim with the penguins!

Ryan you are very right, Israel is a beautiful country.
Israel is my 2nd favorite country after France.
