Where you been? Where you going?

Postby kanaloa on Tue Mar 04, 2003 11:32 pm

Well, obviously, my favorite subject and hobby is traveling, so I'll start this section off by talking about that.

I'm curious... what's the best places in YOUR opinion you've been in the United States, and/or around the globe.

I'd like to get other's opinions.

My Top Three Favs I've been to:
The Road to Hana, Maui Hawaii
Mt. Denali, Alaska
Red Woods NP, California

Dying to get to:
Na Pali Coast, Kauai Hawaii
Volcano's NP, Big Island Hawaii
Scotland

Feel free to ask me ANY questions about traveling the United States. I've been to every single state, and almost every National Park in America. If I can't answer the question, then I know who to ask... my travel guide for all my trips but Hawaii. Or as I like to call her... mom. LOL

I have a particular fondness for the Western states John...but to me the most beautiful place I have ever been to was the Great Divide in Montana...awesome...no other word for it... :yesnod:

My favorite trip was one I took by myself following an old Anasazi trail leading from Utah to Arizona...it's a spiritual thing... :cool:

Wow... I bet that was something. Did that involved anything with Native American history to it? I know there is alot of it in that area. I've always been fascinated by Native stuff... which might be why I love Hawaiian native stuff so much... two of my favorite topics in one.

I too love the west, especially the North West. It's a whole new world...

Absolutley Native American History...the Anasazi mysteriously disappeared a very long time ago, I believe between 1300 and 1500...but there are still many ruins left standing over many areas of the SouthWest...Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon and Canyon de Chelly just to name a few...These are the real tourist traps...there are many more smaller ones...which are the sites I chose to visit... :)

Here's a link John if you would like to find out more about the Anasazi.

Thanks Michel :yesnod:

I was really impressed with Mesa Verde when I got to see it a few years back... I'll look more into this.

John...a really fun read on the Anasazi is a novel by Louis L'amour titled "The Haunted Mesa"...this book is a regular sized novel...not one of his regular thin novels...Basically the story involves a portal to another dimention where one is able to go back and forth between the 2 worlds...Captivating read if you like mystical mysteries... :;)

Ah you must have been at Rosyth dockyards, and the best pubs in Edinburgh are all up the side streets. There are some amazing places there with world wide reputations, and the Edinburgh Military Tatoo is the best in the world. :yesnod:
