Default "no offense, but i don't know where you've been"

well here's your chance to tell everyone where you've been

let us all know what areas of the world you have visited and if you feel like you you can tell us some stories and stuff about your trips around the world

personally i've been to florida when i was 5, 10 and 15 and also new york when i was 10

france with school when i was like 11

jamica when i was 12

tenerife when i was like 9

tunisia when i was about 14

a carribean cruise last year when i was 21

that's all i can remember right now but if any others come to mind i'll post em up and i'll post up some stories about em later too

Niagra Falls - New York and Canada
Clearwater Beach Florida nearly every year from birth til I was 13
Panama City Florida
A multitude of additional eastern states (Virginia, Pennsylvania, etc)
Overall nothing too exotic, I'd like to visit some Carribean countries and some European countries though.

Well **** me!! I've only been to one place -- Niagara Falls, Ontario. I was a kid and the only memory I have of that place (besides the Falls) is that I threw up my macaroni and cheese all over the table at some really nice restaurant.

That's me in a nutshell.

I really do wish I traveled more though. My brother is getting married in Italy in September, but unfortunately I do not have the funds to go (hell, my parents can barely pay for themselves). I hope one day I'll make enough cash where I can see the world. And when I say see, I don't mean some ****ing travel tour or any ****. I want to experience the culture as if I lived there.

To have the ability to say, "I really don't know where else I want to go", makes me jealous to no end.

it's easier for Europeans to travel to cool and exotic places because everything is so close. if i want to take a 3 or 4 hour travel somewhere, i still haven't left the state of Texas yet.

only times i've left the country was to visit the border towns in Mexico. not very exotic, but fun as hell to go with friends and drink with the townies inquire about Boy's Towns.

I went to Germany, Austria, and Holland around 3 years ago. Was the best three weeks of my life. Amsterdam was dirty (but in a good way). My friend got a finger through the jacket pocket stuck in his back and told to give all of his money. His high level of intoxication caused him to not understand the request and persisted on politely questioning the man on his intentions. After 10 minutes of now trying to convince my friend to hand over the dough, he just laughed and walked off. I always thought that was hilarious.

hmm.. everything you can think of from NY to the FL keys... california, hawaii, grand caymans, mexico, and the like. Going to do Alaska next year with luck, then maybe South America. Sorry but brazilian beauties, rain forests and ancient ruins hold more sway to me than eurolibbies! Exept for Italy and England for my wife, there is little that holds my interest in Europe. Will do Antartica, Japan/Asia and Aussiland hopefully in that order after SA.
