Each place I've been to is a favourite for a different reason!
Turkey - Istanbul - the Blue Mosque is a wonder to behold. Treasure galore and a tour of the Palace. The bazaars and people selling marble and rugs and brass!
Ephesus - an ancient city dug up from the earth and built again! Astounding! Mary, mother of Jesus walked the paths there, Peter started preaching the word of Jesus there. Absolutely incredible to see and imagine the historic signifigance of it.
Greece - beaches, Temple of Artemis, the Parthenon, Acropolis, Mykonos with it's beautiful windmills and white stucco buildngs and open air restaurants on the beach as the fine wine and food is consumed. Lovely. Rhodes - the wine festival - I have been told it was great! I was there though I can't recall! LOL
Athens - busy, teeming with cars and pollution - such a shame.
The Caribbean - Barbados - luscious! wonderful people. stunning beaches and scenery. The Jolly Roger boat tour - once again I was told it was great!
Antigua - like Barbados without the crowds and busy nightlife. The Jolly Roger boat cruise again- I remember this one! My 9 year old son jumping from the rope at the front of the boat!
Martinique - the topless beach - I did not partake in the custom! Very expensive!
Caracas, Venezuela - gold, gold, gold!!! Very rich and extremely poor live opposite each other.
Puerto Rico-gems, jewellery and wonderful historic sites also.
A couple of other islands I can't remember the names of - one is Dutch/French - beautiful
Grenada - spices fill the air as you arrive! luscious and gorgeous beaches.
East Coast of Canada - Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Cape Breton, - slow paced, lovely people, beautiful country and the ocean!
Northern Ontario - been all over dozens of times - incredible country as Gord relates in so many songs.
Connecticut - the coast area - wonderful history and beaches and very friendly folks.
Georgia - Atlanta area - wonderful Lake Lanier water park where some of the events at the Olympics were held. Charming people - hospitable and friendly and welcoming to a Canadian family.
Orillia - home of The Man - heartwarming and fulfilling to know that I finally got there AND met such a huge part of my life in the form of a Canadian Legend named Gordon Meredith Lightfoot.
