Where to Holiday when you live in the sub tropics
 

Some of you live in vacation destinations. Where do you go to Holiday when you already live in paradise?

Other vacation destinations.....

I like to go to places with gorgeous mountain vistas. Iceland, New Zealand, Banff, Alaska...You can't go wrong with any of those.

Europe is always cool. Amsterdam, Tromso, Stockholm, Istanbul are on my list.

So, is Japan and Peru.

In fact, if you go to IcelandAir's website. You can do Europe and get a free stopover in Iceland. :)

Have you seen the Canyon-lands of Utah? Zion, Brice, North rim of the Grand Canyon and a ton of other great places to see. Ton's of wonderful places to see in the USA.

How about the fall colors in the NE.

This. Iceland itself is pretty cool, too.

Detroit.

Utah.

Maybe Rome, Italy.

Topeka, KS...

What you NEED to do is to see the WIDE open spaces. Fly into Topeka Kansas and rent a car and check out I-70 and drive to Denver. That will make you really appreciate the Rocky mountains if you drive on up to the Rocky Mountains national park. You need to do that in mid summer however.

So, let' see who responded: FL, AZ, CA, NC?

I guess I can respond then too. I don't travel far. I spend a lot of time in local camp grounds, at the local ocean and in the local mountains. I have not gone on an airplane ride with the family for vacationing for about 10 years, IIRC. It is all road trips. I love it.

Princess cruise to Alaska.

I'd go somewhere where you could see the fall colors come out in full storm.

Anywhere with a good skatepark I'm cool

Bakersfield

Disney World.

Needles, CA is the real secret garden spot.

Seriously, check out Sequoia, Yosemite, Eastern Sierra, Yellowstone, Glacier or any of our beautiful National Parks. So many people are quick to jet off to some exotic destination when some of the most realaxing and beautiful places are right in our backyard.

I was gona say Chicago on the lake in December or January....


BTW when I lived in S CA I did vacation in Detroit. Kind of an urban tactical exercise thing of seeing if you can get out alive. Actually i had relatives who had a place on the lake up in Port Sanilac. Instead of a visit to Disney world went out to a bar in Decker..Now that was a journey up the river into the American heart of darkness.

Why not just say San Bernardino...down by the Rail Road tracks...

For some reason every time I was in San Berdo I started thinking I was in Detroit...

I would suggest Newfoundland. Also there is the rally Targa Newfoundland. Lots of lobster and the Can. $ is cheap. Not that I have ever been there! Great for hiking and cycling.

Ever since they torn down Riverside racetrack San Bernardino is dead to me.

don't forget scenic Trona on the way.

if you live in a relaxing place do something exciting


blow the vacation money on...
las vegas super bike school.
barber motorsports park
sky diving
hunting safari

Visit Alaska... feed the bears... I hear it is a hoot!

You guys crack me up. Go to someplace with dry heat, like Vegas and double your pay check. Get away form the humidity.

I hear the bears like to eat kayaks ;).

Any place different. And it's all gotta be better than Florida :)

I've been to Istanbul, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Mexico City in the past year. All worth visiting!

I like mountains and glaciers (having the ability to actually step on the ice). I don't know if that's possible in the States outside of Alaska.

Besides, it's Northern Lights season and we don't have those in MY backyard.

I used to live near to Mt. Sopris. It was snowcapped year round.

As far as humidity down here, it's not bad at all on the coast. The fishing is awesome.

i dont equate the tropics automatically with "paradise".

for me a vacation is anywhere. anywhere i dont work or live. or anywhere that is not like where i work or live :)

i would go somewhere that freezes your ass.

We know, we've seen the pictures.

The humidity is horrible. Been in Tampa Bay for 23 years now. If A/C was never invented, I would have left long ago.

I've experienced Orlando humidity and where I am it's not even close to that. I think you guys north and interior get some different weather.

Been all over FL. From the Keys to Jax to Tallahasee, it's all horribly humid.

Go to one of the places I mentioned and you might just find paradise.

Thanks all,

I'm thinking that I'll just plan skiing holidays.

Jackson hole looks good. And I should revisit my old stomping grounds of Glenwood springs.

Btw today is 83 degrees 62% humidity. Just gorgeous.
