Las Vegas! I find it so peaceful and relaxing! That or Oregon in the Summer. Not too hot. And no humidity!

I remember many, many road trips as a child, and I'm not a big fan of them. I prefer getting from “point A to point B” as fast as possible, only stopping for gas and bathroom breaks. But with that said, since airfare is so pricey, we still drive everywhere. I guess I have to cope. But when you do get the chance, definitely check out Asia! It's incredible.

now that I think about it, I have been to Mexico so I have indeed been to another country – but not one that requires a passport. I am hoping to change that track record starting spring 2010 – just need the airfare to become less shocking for a family of 5!

There's something about your posts I always liked (besides the fact they're excellent and well written ) and I think I finally figured it out: there's a sense of nostalgia. Is it just my imagination? I may see what I want to see (because I'm a very nostalgic person).

This post is an excellent example. Even though I haven't traveled the US as much as I'd like to, and even though I've been to many countries outside the US, there are still numerous others I haven't been and want to visit.

But if I had to list my favorite places in the world:
* My home town in Israel. Always a safe haven from the big world, even though it's now so different from what I remember.
* Downtown Tel Aviv. Something extremely vibrant yet still relaxing about this city.
* New York City: just taking a 2-3 hour walk from central park to Chinatown. This is as relaxing as it gets.
* One of the major Piazzas in Rome – can't remember which (…) – which is the first place I've visited with my wife on our honeymoon.
* Barcelona: my favorite city in Europe. Combining the best of Paris with Tel Aviv.

Did you really not leave the US? It sounds like you'd have a blast if you were to go, no matter where.
