Costa Rica was amazing!
barbados was beautiful
jamaica is cheaper, don’t leave compound at night
Ĺive close to Costa Rica. Go there 3-4 times a year. Very pretty. Only problem with Costa Rica is Costa Ricans. Might only be because I live in Central America and understand the culture but a little too "smug" for me compared to other countries here.
Absolutely loved a trip I took a few years ago. Flew to Southhampton UK, met a friend and we slowly meandered up the countryside to London from there. We did London and Paris via EuroStar after but the countryside trip was a blast.
Speaking of....flying out in the morning for my first trip to Vegas! I'm not a gambler so it's never been a priority but this trip is partially business so impossible to pass up. Hoping my Dawgnation brothers and sisters can point me in the right direction!
If you've got the money and want to disconnect from the world. Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful places Ive ever seen in my life. Especially the overwater bungalow. I also enjoy Seychelles in Africa. Nice beach and gorgeous environment.
There are great places to visit all over the world. A lot depends on what you like to do and what you are comfortable experiencing. Eastern Europe has many great cities. My favorite would be Prague, but Budapest along the Danube at night is spectacular. Poland is a great country to visit. France, despite what you may have heard, is very friendly to Americans. We loved Paris, Roen is a fascinating city, and seeing the Normandy beaches and attending a ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery is unforgettable. Loved Ireland, especially the Ring of Kerry and Kilkenny. Seeing Stonehenge at sunrise is an experience I will never forget. Barcelona is an incredible city. The Sagrada Familia there is the most fascinating architecture I have seen.
Last year we headed to Southeast Asia. Vietnam is a great country to visit with a good guide. My favorite places there were Hoi An and Halong Bay, which is incredible. Hanoi is a very interesting city to walk around and experience. We also visited Siem Reap Cambodia which is a great place. The Angkor Wat temple complex is very interesting to learn about, again, with a good guide. This trip is for people who are OK with stepping out of their normal comfort zone.
We have been blessed to be able to travel in our retirement. Each year we go to new places. We have done ocean cruises, river cruises, land tours, and self drive tours (in English speaking countries). There are lots of places to see and lots of ways to experience them.
enjoy Vegas! I want to visit soon
Been to 65 countries so far, and my favorites are Turkey, Montenegro, Australia, South Africa and Norway.
I enjoy train and ship travel especially, which you can read more about on my hobby travel blog site at

Japan, Japan, Japan.
So many cool places in the USA if you take the time to look. People from every other country dream of coming here. Siesta Key is a top 10 beach in the world, try the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Maui, Glacier National Park, NYC, San Francisco, Washington DC.
Fully intend on visiting more US sites. Our “strategy” is to do more international flights now (without young kids) and visit more of the US after we have kids and can teach them how great this country is. ‘Merica!
When they’re a bit older, we’ll take them abroad because I think an international perspective is beneficial to becoming more well rounded.
Great plan and agree on international perspective.
No doubt, my Parents took us to all the cool places. Mount Vernon, Gettysburg, and on and on. Looking back I really appreciate it. I love American history. Disney World and Epcot was everything when I was a kid.
Consider Thailand too
The wife and I have been to Scotland (great food & scenery), Italy (stayed in Rome. Amazing sites all within walking distance), and Mebourne ( great foods & great people). Cant go wrong with any of these. Looking at a trip to St Petersburg next summer.
I visited quite a few different countries while I was in the military. Turkey and Norway were favorites of mine as well, Turkey mainly for the people were very welcoming. Norway for the same and the beauty everywhere. Athens (Greece) was very beautiful however it seemed every other person was trying to rip you off. Thailand, I had a very good time in as well, however I was visiting friends so I was able to avoid most of the things you want to avoid while vacationing easily.
I was going to go to Budapest in March, but had to switch plans and will be heading to London to see a Six Nations Tour Rugby match at Twickenham (England vs Wales). Having lived abroad and traveled extensively, I will travel to just about anywhere on the planet. My favorite city in the world is Paris, followed closely by Rome. The most vibrant city I've ever been to is Tokyo, great food too. Greece is to die for and I plan on returning later this year - Santorini. Bavaria is spectacular, along with Lucerne Switzerland and Austria.
I leave for Paris Friday morning. Any tips/suggestions?
