What? Am I the only one who travels in this group?
I've only sidestepped into Canada for about an hour while gazing at Niagra Falls and then several years ago, I along with a group from work, took an extended weekend in Cancun, Mexico. That was interesting. While everyone in our group were scared to leave the "English speaking" perimeter, my friend and I seeked the out of the way places. We got on a bus taking us to who knew where and found a WALMART (of all things!) at the end of the route. Neither one of us knew very much Spanish, so it was an adventure trying to speak with the locals. But the beaches down there are spectacular and the clear, acqua colored waters were something to see.
In the good ole US of A, my favorite place to travel is out west, specifically Arizona. There's so much to see and do out there- Grand Canyon, Sedona, Red
Rock Canyon, Flagstaff, Toombstone, Tucson, Tempe just to name a few areas.
Last year, I managed to see Montana. Big Sky! Beautiful place - mountains all around. Saw Ted Turner's buffalo ranch while out there. Hey Frank, if you want, I can send you a sample of my vacation pics via e-mail. I sent some to Char not too long ago as well.
A little further west, my favorite scenic drive was Highway 101 up the pacific coast from San Franciso all the way into Washington. Nice, but I found it to be a tad chilly even in the midst of summer. Oregon is nice as well as Washington state. Columbia Gorge, Mt. St. Helens, Mt Hood, Mt. Ranier all are spectacular views in that neck of the woods. The mountain ranges out west are a rugged site and by no means resemble the friendlier Ozarks or Blue Ridge closer to my home.
I am not a restful type of traveler for I am always looking for things to see and do.
