Stupid Vacation Poll.

I think it's time for another stupid survey poll thing. Let's see hm hm erm ahm. Okay, here we go: name your dream vacation spot. I know it's a lame question, but I'm voyeuristically curious. Your dream vacation spot can be anywhere on the planet and can be someplace you have or haven't already visited. If anyone feels like getting extra creative, name the best vacation spot you've actually been to, along with the worst. Post in the comments...

Want to go to: Pampalona, Spain

Best been to: Karst Mtns., Czech Republic

Worst been to: Jacksonville, FLA, specifically the Shangra La Seaside motel (no where near the sea, BTW), a hooker in residence on one side and Satan’s Choice on the other. even the ceiling was stained. my Dad washed everything the next day when we booked outta there…even Optimus got a bath.

I would really like to visit a Shoalin Monastery. I have studied Kung-Fu and would love to train there for a few years.

I would also love to visit New Zeiland. Beautiful country!

I would have to go with Italy.

Just seems like it would be a great place to visit.

Best place I have been? Bahamas. Absolutely Beautiful! One evening, the power went out on the island and I looked up and saw the most amazing display of stars I have ever seen.

Worst place: Camping in Michigan with an Ex-Girlfriend.

I’d really like to see Delaware.

I’d venture to say Australia. I’ve heard that they drive around the desert hunting each other down for precious gasoline to fuel their crazy battle-cars.
The best place I’ve been on vacation is Montreal (in the spring) and the worst place was probably be Washington D.C. It wasn’t bad, just kinda boring and overly educational.

Best vacation spot was a place called Ravenwood Castle that my wife and I stayed in. We stayed in a dungeon room, which was actually very cool.

Worst was the motel that we stayed in when we went to Mammoth Caves last summer. Mammoth Caves was wonderful, as it always is, but the motel we stayed in was a different story. It was complete with stains on every wall/carpet, sheet, tile in the room, and they even supplied a druggie in the room next to ours who was wheezing and coughing THE ENTIRE NIGHT, sounding like it was in our room. We would have left, but we didn’t have anywhere else to go to find a room that late. I think the continental breakfast was a couple of crusty old bagels painted to look like donuts.

I would love to go to any of the moons around Jupiter.

Normally, I would say that I’d love to spend a few years in the Renaissance-hotspot cities in Italy, but since this winter in Canada has been exceedingly nipply, I’ll say any of those hot, steamy, malaria-ridden places with disproportionately large insects (like the Amazon) I’ve been reading about in my anthropology ethnographies for school.

"It’s so warm I only have to wear a loincloth!? Awesome! I’m so there!"

By the way, that Love, Money, Health/psychic Sara Freder banner ad on the side of the page is a pretty scary thing to be looking at in the morning before you’ve even had your first cup of coffee. It looks like her hair’s been cut with a Flowbee (sp?). =O

Id like to go to that Long Island place, if only it were real. – Marge Simpson

Since I skirted the rules with my first comment stuff, I’ll be fair.

Want to go: Ibiza, Spain. A.K.A.: the land the law forgot.

Best I’ve been to: Hmmmm, tough call. Either LA or NYC, (I live in Newfoundland)

Worst I’ve been to: Again, tough call. Maybe Phoenix, Arizona, since I got a heat rash and nearly drowned in a pool. Tiuanna (sic), Mexico also comes to mind. I only spent a day there, but it was pretty filty and disusting. Course, I was only 10 years old at the time. Now at 23, I could probably find a LOT more interesting things worth buying than just some bootleg Bart Simpson t-shirts. >8^D

The best vacation from reality ever will be the day Matt finally reviews "Mac and Me"

Japan. I actually have been there and had the privilage to stay in two Japanese homes and experience house life in Japan. It will be two more years until the next summit which I will be attending again.

Dream Vacation: Scotland. I have always wanted to see the British Isles. Yes, I am a big fan of cold, rainy weather. Wish I lived in Seattle.

Best Vacation: Key West or Halifax, NS. When I first met my now-fiance, we just up on a whim, drove up to Halifax, Nova Scotia. (we live in Massachusetts) so it was filled with romance and adventure and getting-to-know-each other excitement. Plus, it’s a little like going to the British Isles, but closer to home. The salt air, the fishermen’s sweaters….great. The second vacation we ever went on was to Key West, which was just awesome. There is a dude there? Who has flying circus housecats? I got to be in his show one night. I got to hold a flaming hoop while he got the cat to jump through it! It was awesome. We are going back for our honeymoon in a few months.

Worst vacation: Prince Edward Island, Canada. It had great potential. I am a HUGE fan of Anne of Green Gables, so I had always wanted to go to PEI. I finally convinced my fiance to agree to this. We had a "hotel" booked in PEI for arrival at 4:00 on Sunday. We left Saturday AM, and planned to just find a place to stay in Maine or New Brunswick Saturday night. It was a huge mistake not to call ahead and actually reserve a room, because there were NO hotels available in all of northern Maine or the entire stinking province of New Brunswick. We must have stopped at 30 places. So we decided we would just have to drive on to PEI that night. We got there at 6am, so we had officially driven for about 24 hours. Needless to say, we were totally sick of/ready to kill each other. When we got to PEI there were no hotels there either, so we went to ours and BEGGED the lady to give us the room early, but the other guests wouldn’t vacate. So we drove to the beach, this was around 7:30-8:00 am, and fell asleep there. We woke up around 2pm, sunburnt to a crisp. We drove back to our "hotel" which was really just a group of cottages. Our cottage had a door. However, the door was just a bit too small for the door frame. There was about a 2 inch gap in between the door, and the door frame. So our room was infested with bugs, and there were 2 toads in there as well. It poured every other day of the trip. Nightmare.

"We’re going to the happiest place on Earth: Tijuana, Mexico!" -Krusty the Klown.
Best Place I’ve been? Right off the bat, I’d say Little Brother’s apartment in Lawrence, Kansas. Him and Him’s Wife live on the bottom level right next to the building’s pool. And since it’s a college town, that means as soon as the months get warm, it’s bikini time! Whee! Where I would like to go? Rio during Carnival, or Japan during Shoshinkai. Boobs or Video Games, I’m easy.

I’d love to finally make it to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Almost went this year but I spent to much money after moving apartments and couldn’t afford it.

Best trips I’ve been on were Keystone, and Breckinridge Colorado, and Daytona Beach Florida all for spring break. Nothings better than passing out with a beer in your hand and waking up in the morining and finishing it.

Dream Vacation: venice, italy.

best vacation, last year florida seeing disney and universal.

next best: either zion national park, or Sedona Arizona (after realizing it was Michelle Branch’s hometown)

Worst: dunno maybe my trip to tijuana since I was too young to enjoy it and was only there for a weekend.

I would love to visit Fart.

The place I would most like to visit? Probably the game parks of Africa–I’ve wanted to see them since I was a tiny little child. Particularly in Kenya and South Africa.

Best place I’ve ever been? It’s a toss up between the northern Italian city of Stresa and New York City. I went to the former as part of a family vacation, which is the only way I could afford that place (think Switzerland with really fast drivers). I was in New York because I had some work to do at the American Museum of Natural History, and what little time I had to look around totally blew me away.

Worst vacation spot ever so far? Let’s go back to Italy for this one–it’s easily the cess pool of Venice. It smelled like a sewer, flooded like a gutter, and even the fancy 4* hotels have all the basic amenities of a tin shack. It always sounds so neat (ooh, a city that has canals) but all of that is just a well-honed tourist spot.

Australia. Definitely.

Chestnuts roasted by Mike Fireball @ 02/26/2004 3:00 PM

Best: Bethany Beach, Delaware, with the ENTIRE family and tons of rented houses. Glorious, especially the boardwalk arcades.

Worst: A two-week trip to Canada, most of which was spent in an uncomfortable RV. When we finally got there, the house was dull and uninteresting, the weather was lousy, and the the air and water were freezing. Teh suck.

Dream vacation: Japan, armed with yen and one of those translating devices.

love to visit New Zealand, romp around in the woods and pretend i’m an elf!
ummm but besides that the best place i’ve been to was actually New York City. I don’t get out much…
The worst: Holland Michigan! Noooooo
