Great call on Atlantis. My wife and I went for our honeymoon and brought our son with us the next year.

Boston Garden. Got to bring my Mom (her and my Dad were from the area) to watch the Cs play in the final season of the Gah-den. Sitting in the old, ricketty, uncomfortable, seats. Listening to the organ, no light show, looking at the banners in the rafters, you could just feel the history. I got to go down and walk on the floor after the game. One of the things I had to do before I die.

There was a little spot in Japan, maybe 45 min. or so from Yokota, AB. Back in the late 80s it was called the Rock. It was about a 20 foot or so waterfall on a creek. Had some fun times up there.

San Diego
Riverwalk in San Antonio - Casa Rio was good Mexican food and there was an English Pub style place that was pretty fun too. Nice to go to the Riverwalk then walk over to the Alamodome and see the Spurs play.
Ft. Lauderdale
Sometimes I miss DC too.

the tip, eh? ;)

Interlaken, Switzerland was a pretty cool place that I wouldn't mind spending some more time. Anywhere in Germany is a great time.

Here in the US, I love the Redwood forest, Garden of the Gods (Colorado) and Mt. Katahdin/Knife's Edge (Maine).

Antigua, Guatemala. Great small town that was slightly touristy, but a great place to learn a the Spanish language and get a good taste of the Spanish/Mayan flavor of culture.

Adding to NYC a must see there is MSG. My first time there was seeing Pearl Jam there back in May. So much history there, so much energy from the crowd the place was electric.

Back in 2002 I took a Carribean cruise, and one of the stops was Nassau. We spent all night partying in the Atlantis casino, and the following morning we had bloody mary's and did the shark tank water slide for hours. Great fun, very cool spot, and pretty awesome indoor-outdoor aquarium.

Side note- we got to chatting with one of the pit bosses in the casino. Really cool guy. He said celebrities come through there constantly, and pointed out a high-stakes private room where he said Michael Jordan dropped 6 figures in one card game just the week before.

[quote=BringBackJoeT;715034]My wife and I went on a ten-day vacation to Israel in June. We simply rented a car and drove from one end to the next, and it was just incredible. The Dead Sea is one strange experience.

Monument Valley and the Arches National Park, both in the southwest, are among my favorite visited places. My wife and I honeymooned in the mountains in Peru (up to Macchu Picchu), which was also a pretty stunning trip. I also loved the three days I spent a few years ago in Memphis. What a great town. In terms of sport venues, I'm very glad I got to see a game in the old Tiger Stadium before the team moved out and the city tore it down.[/quote]


[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I loved the Dead Sea and the Masada. The Mountains to the north next to the sea of Galilee are awesome too. I also like the beaches right off of the Mediterranean. The Jordan River had be my favorite area though. I did not get a chance to see Jerusalem but I did see the desert in the south of the country. It is amazing how much of a diverse geography they have in a country in the size of New Jersey.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I'll second Riverwalk. Anyone going to San Antonio should definitely check it out. (and the Alamo of course)

Been many times great place! Saw Jordan vs. Bird play will never forget it.

The scoreboard will always stick in my mind with it is crappy digital numbers and the Dunkin Donuts ads on it.

The amount odd staircases and tunnels in that place always made my head spin. It was not linear at all compared to today's staduims. Fenway is much like that also.

Re: Favorite Places You Have Visited
 

Right now my favorite place to visit is about an 1 1/2 hours away in Nags Head because I'm leaving tomorrow morning for the week. We have a cottage right on the ocean and I'm taking the boat to head off shore and go deep sea fishing one or two days. It will be the first time running the new boat 30 miles offshore and I'm pretty pumped. Its my parent 50th wedding anniversary so they are going, my sister her husband and two children, and the 4 of us so we will have a full house. I'll try to check in and see how training camp is going but we will get the local paper which does a decent job.

I didn't get to do any fishing when I was there but I wish I had.

So when you got on the island you went left towards duck?

Re: Favorite Places You Have Visited
 

[quote=firstdown;715395]So when you got on the island you went left towards duck?[/quote]Nope, I meant we were in Nags Head but the northern part of the city, almost into Kill Devil Hills. We were pretty close to the entrance to Jockey's Ridge.

Also, there is a surf shop called Whalebone right around where I stayed. They had some of hottest girls I've seen in a long time working there. So, you should probably stop in.

Thats down around the 13th mile marker and we are going to be down around the 14th. We have a place at the 8 mile marker but its not on the beach so someone is letting us use their place this week. That surf shop has been there for 30 or more years and I'll have to stop in to check out the merchandise. If you know what I mean.

We just booked a long weekend trip to New Orleans for this fall, can't wait to go back. We've already got our top places to eat/drink all planned out, lol

Re: Favorite Places You Have Visited
 

My favorite place was Burkittsville Maryland, where i am actually going camping this weekend.

I'm actually a big fan of the blair witch project movie. I know, laugh at me, but the atmosphere in that place at night, after watching that movie is something you have to experience yourself.

Re: Favorite Places You Have Visited
 

Right now I'm sitting on the third floor of our cottage over looking the ocean in Nags Head. The weather is OK and not the best but we are having a good time. What sucks is I towed the boat down here to go offshore fishing and it looks like its going to be too rough to go out this week. Oh well we have all summer to come back down and give it another try.

Re: Favorite Places You Have Visited
 

Being a history buff and being born in Brunswick, GA these are some of my favorite places to visit.

Savannah's River Street, Georgia's Antebellum Trail, Charleston's Battery. I would also be remiss if I didn't add Natchez, Mississippi to this list.

Having spent 5 years in the Navy on the USS Intrepid I got to see alot of the world free of charge, so to speak, and Spain was my favorite overseas country.

But having said that, to me, the good old US of A is tops in my book and the South is the Cream at the top.

P.S. Key West ain't bad either!

Thanks I think I'm gonna like it here. The Redskins have always been a team I've liked and also followed in the mid 80's thru the early 90's while in Roanoke VA. Was one of those that thought John Beck was much better than he was allowed to show on both the Fins and the Ravens. I think he will shine under Shannan, jmo of course.

Judging by your screen name, I'm guessing you're a Dolphins fan too -- which is cool. We welcome fans from other teams -- it gives a better perspective on things. We have Cowboys, Giants, Steelers, and other Dolphins fans too (and others I'm sure). If you want, you can even change your avatar to another team logo (User CP > Edit Avatar).

Yes I am but after Saturday nights showing I'm shaking my head over Henne and Marshall! When the Redskins #2 looks better than all of the Miami QB's its time to revaluate the game plan!:)

Thanks for the welcome, I'm debating on which Avatar to use. I'm a Sunny Jurgensen fan, is he avalable, I didn't see him?
