Do I see Hawaii??? Please tell me you did go to Maui or Molokai. If you went to Waikiki, I feel sorry for you cause that is kind of like any big city with skyscrapers and not the real Hawaii. So how did you like Hawaii mate???

Where do you want to travel?
Where have you been?
Have any hot suggestions?
Have any nice travel stories?

1. I'd love to go to Australia, New Zealand, the British Isles and Scandinavia. Not sure why Scandinavia, it's just a region in Europe I've never been to, and I'd like to experience it. The other locales simply b/c for once I'd like to travel someplace where I actually can sort of understand the language!

2. Where have I been? All over the US, as far west as Washington state and Oregon, as far south as Tennesee and Kentucky. In Canada, thru most of Ontario, the southern part of Quebec, all of the Maritime provinces. And also Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic as far as Prague, France and Luxemborg.

3. Hot suggestions...hmmmm....go to Italy! I don't care what region or city, well not too much anyway. I wasn't thrilled with Rome, loved Florence and Venice, and of course Milan.

4. Yeah, some nice stories. First trip to Italy, first time to Venice, I had THE weirdest, strongest feeling of deja vu when we got to the square. I looked up at the spire on...is that one San Marco...and just opened my arms and said "I'm home!" Our tour guide told us that to truly experience Venice you had to get hopelessly lost. Well, try as I might, I couldn't get lost, I always knew where I was!

Second story...second trip to Milan...my friend Angelo had arranged for us to use an apartment owned by the team, for the entire time we were there! It was in a very nice neighborhood, we got to know the people at the grocer around the corner, they'd greet us like we lived there. The apartment was probably spacious by Italian standards, had an amazing tile floor thru most of it, and had a balcony that overlooked the tree-lined street. That apartment paired with meeting Paolo made that trip very memorable! And Milanello remains one of my favorite places to wander around!

Ive been to : Northern Ireland, England, Wales, France (a good few times), Portugal, Majorca, Lanzorate, Gran Canaria, Austria, Germany, Jersey and Italy (5 times to milan and once to venice when i was young). Lived in Cape Cod, MA in the US in the summer for three months did a good bit of travelling there boston, new york, philadelphia, maine, new hampshire, nantucket, marthas vineyard, Las Vegas which is amazing, San Diego and also Tijuana in Mexico. Had been to Florida previously. Going to Poland in March to visit friends i lived with in the summer.

Want to go to and im sure i will go to at some stage: Prague, Australia, South America and of course back to Milan.

Also hopefully back to Paris in May for Champions league final if milan make it.

I try to go to Como, that's the place I love. I can go there to live for the rest of my life.

That's why George Clooney bought a huge villa there

nice stories

I've been only in Europe unluckily but so far budget holidays force me to avoid flights over the ocean. But Europe is still full of great places: have been to Spain (Catalunya and Barcelona), France (Paris and Provence, Marseille and Aix en Provence) and to some other eu capitals and great cities--> London, Amsterdam, Budapest, Malta, Greece (islands) and Graz in Austria

Not much but i'm planning to tour around Spain this summer, with my grey Fiat Punto, and visit Basque area and Andalusia in the south, full of great cities, such as Granada and Siviglia

Next travels: Nord Kapp and all Scandinavia, Brasil, Prague and UK/Eire by interrail

Been to: Most of Scandinavia, all of Sweden. Italy, Milano + Firenze. France, Paris and a bit in the northeast. Holland + Belgium capitals. Germany, Berlin, Hamburg, Braunsweig and some smaller places. Bulgaria, Sofia, Coast, Sandanski and Blagoevgrad. Turkey, Alanya. USA, Florida and New York. Thailand, Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui, Koh Lantha. Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. Singapore. Mallorca. India, Goa. That was all

Want to most at this point: Japan. Other places in India. California. Pacific islands. New Zeeland and Australia. China. Iran. Jordan/Lebanon. Tanzania. Brazil.

I could recommend: I would recommend Firenze for someone that have a partner or likes culture, really nice city. The less touristbusy places in Thailand was really nice.
