I also really liked the Boston area for the history, might be #2 but there are 20 different cities I could switch in and out with #1 and #2 because of good times.

Beirut Lebanon. I was only there 3 months before shit hit the fan. The Corniche, spear fishing every day at Pigeon rock. Damn nice city it was. Hammamet Tunisia is a close second.

Well, Rup, we know it ain't Moscow



I suppose of cities I have been to, not want to visit, right?



I really love the city of Eindhoven, The Netherlands



Big city feel in the center, go out not even a few kilometers and you're in the countryside

Very nice city center/town square, a good mix of modern and older architecture.

Valkenswaard, Lierop and Veldhoven MX tracks are very nearby

While it is a regional airport, you can fly to most major European cities from it

Driving to the west a half hour is Antwerp and not much further, Brussels

The east about the same distance is Cologne and Dusseldorf, Germany....30 mins past that, Dortmund and the Dortmund SX

Amsterdam is 45 min north

Sounds cool, any place on an island, sounds good, ive been to Key West, Fla.
Most of the traveling i ever got to do, was when i was in the US Navy , been to 5 countrys in the Persian Gulf area most of which sucked, except for Bahrain and UAE, because the plane broke down got to spend a night in Naples, Italy and ride a bus to Rome Italy, then fly back to NYC, but the most fun i had in the Navy was at the Portland rose festival/ fleet week, in portland Ore. in 1989 and 1990

I love Italy, particularly the smaller cities like Bologna and Venice, although Rome isn't bad. I enjoyed Madrid but hear Barcelona is even better.

If I had to pick a place to visit where money isn't an option I'd go to Santiago, Chile. I spent a few days there on business but really want to return as a tourist for a couple of weeks.

I'm a LONDON lover. Perhaps because i was born there and know my way around =-

plus the language is easy to navigate....the sights, the sounds, the smells -

London has my heart.

Like Dave said, Moscow bit donkey dick, but I've enjoyed many, many other

wonderful worldwide cities, as well...

Not been to Australia- yet, would love to see her...

I haven't explored much outside of our US borders.

I had a pretty good time in New York City so I'll go with that.

London - Pretty cool city....Loved the history and museums. Very rich.

I loved NYC too. Just the amount of things to do.....the food and people and entertainment variety.

I just got back from China and there are some cool places there too.

Edinburgh is a great Scottish city, lying beneath a cool castle.

Salzburg Austria, even though I did get my rental car towed there!

Geneva if you are into watches, great Rolex boutiques and lakeside resturants.

Rome for the history, the Coliseum, old ruins, Parthenon , Trevvi fountain etc, plus it has a state within a city with the Vatican City!

Must alert you to the cool cosmopolitan vibe of Toronto, Canada .

Went up there the last few years for SuperCanuckCross & LOVED IT !

Just an hour from Niagara Falls is a wonderful Ameri-European gem.

*Even the homeless seem educated and well informed !

Montreal and Quebec city, pretty nice to visit. Most major Canukian cities are really mellow and fun to visit. I could stay up there if it wasn't so damn far away from Guasti.

Las Vegas... if i ever become extremely minted, it'll be my first port of call

Place I've wanted to go to ever since i can remember is Rio de Janeiro. Hoping to go there for the 2014 World Cup, but we'll see...
