What' your favorite vacation spot?

I'm from the East Coast of the United States, and certainly based on our travels, there is little doubt as to our favorite "spot"--we love traveling in the UK. In the past 10 years, we've made 11 trips to Britain. I know you asked for a specific location, but you'll have to settle for my litany. We don't have one favorite location in the UK, we have several . . . and the list keeps growing. Here's a sampling: Lincoln (in Lincolnshire, England) is the quintessential small English city. It's a bit off the tourist track, is beautiful, possesses what is arguably Europe's most beautiful cathedral, has an active cultural scene, and is full of surprises. The Isle of Arran is located off the west coast of the Scottish mainland. It's largely unspoilt and is stunning beautiful. Known as "Scotland in miniature" (because it has both highlands and lowlands), it is scattered with golf courses and my beloved standing stones and it bestows peace and tranquility in generous measure on its visitors. The Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland is literally the land of giants--particularly the Giants' Causeway with all its associated myths. It possesses a romantic, dramatic beauty that fires the imagination. Kilmartin Glen in Argyllshire (western Scotland) attracts the likes of me--people who seek out the stones manipulated and worshiped by our ancient ancestors. Kilmartin Glen is chock full of these remarkable monuments, as well as the remains of Dunald, a fortress that served as the birthplace of Scotland's monarchical tradition. Derbyshire (in the English Midlands) is home to a landscape scattered with stone walls, stone monoliths, great English houses (including Haddon Hall and Chatsworth), and the hills and dales of the Peak District. The Great Glen (Scotland), a long geologic fault line eroded by glaciers that includes a series of deep lochs steeped in mystery--Loch Ness, Loch Oich, Loch Linnhe, and more. Beautiful and often harsh, the Glen evokes Nessie, the Jacobite rebellion, clan wars, and the magic of Highland music. We're still collecting favorite spots, but perhaps this will give readers a sense for why we keep returning.

I come from the UK. I am very fond of tropical islands and I like to visit new places that I haven't been to before instead of the same places again. I love Samoa most od all for I adored its stunning palm fringed beaches, interesting sites and fascinating culture. I liked seeing the fales, traditional buildings, the waterfalls, the rainforest and an exciting blow hole. I also loved going to the Cook Islands and Frech Polynesia. The beaches were gorgeous looking with tiny islands situated just off the coast. The best beaches in the world that I have come across are those in the Seychelles with unusual rock formation that I liked seeing. My favorite city is Sydney, with the white sails of the opera house and the interesting looking harbor bridge. I liked seeing the scenic beauty of San Francisco and the lovely looking Golden Gate Bridge. I adored going to historical cities like Dubrovnik, Salzburg, Prague, Budapest and Lisbon. This summer I am discovering Riga in Latvia so that might become one of my favorites. Happy traveling.
