St Anton, Austria. Excellent place to go if you love the clean air and sking. Went there years ago and would love to go back. I have been to a few places over the years but there takes some beating.

I haven't been to places other than the Asia pacific region but we'll be going to Kauai island, Hawaii for some R&R this Sept.

My friend went to Turks & Caicos. From the pictures, it's really worth seeing.

So far I really love Venice....I've lost count how many times I have been but I never ever get tired of it....I will miss our trips there when we move to the States but look forward to seeing new places :D

I lived there off and on for two years(93-95) but haven't been back for 10 years - really am hoping Govi and I can go back someday but with the dollar worth so little versus the Euro who knows - I was there when it was $1=1000 lire.... Still there is nothing in the world more romantic than walking at night through the campi and campielli on a moonlit summer night, stopping in the Piazza San Marco for a $5 coffee(probably it's $10 now), so quiet and peaceful when the day-trippers are gone and the motorboats have stopped running. I miss it...

ETA: How much are budget hotel rooms going for there these days???

We pay around 90 euros per night, which isnt bad at all and we have never had a bad stay, we dont stay in the real touristy places though and we have a good 2 days getting lost finding our way back to the guest house, but getting lost in Venice is great fun :lol: ....must have been great to have lived there, I would love to get the chance to experience "real" venetian living.

Wow, that's almost as much as rooms are going for in Manhattan now - things have changed... :( I remember there were a couple of nice modest hotels in the Cannaregio area where you could get a room for around $50 per night. Yes, getting lost in Venice is always fun and full of surprises - besides you always know you won't be lost for long until you see one of those yellow signs pointing you in the right direction. :D

I loved being able to experience all 4 seasons there - my favorite was late winter early spring when it would get foggy - nothing like an early morning walk in the foggy Piazza - there were actually mornings when I was practically the only person there - it was magical. (L)

My Dad lives on the coast (Oregon) in Lincoln City.....I'm going out there this weekend, I'll think of you Marilyn!

"We are the real countries,

Not the boundaries drawn on maps,

With the names of powerful men.

That's all I've wanted -

To walk in such a place with you,

On an earth without maps."

New jersey..

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

You can still find places cheaper than that but most likely it is hostels where you share rooms/bathrooms. A lot depends on the time of the year too. BTW I just checked rooms in Manhattan not too long ago because we are taking my brother and his girlfriend over there next month when they come visit...rooms are a lot worse than 90 euro...reason why we are staying in Jersey on the other side of the river (100$ a night) :P

I do not have a fav spot...but I really want to go to New Zealand.
