I'll cheat a little and say The UK, as I want to disappear and see a great deal of England, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Not just for family heritage etc, but evaluate every bit I see in films/TV/doco's just makes me want to be there and experience it: England for all the traditional British fair (and a Jack the Ripper tour); Scotland for the Highlands, Lowlands and their whiskey; Ireland for the countryside, a proper pint of Guinness, and who could say no to a lovely Irish lass with that accent... Heck they could read the Tax Code and I'd still be enthraled!
Sure come on over man, I'll buy you that pint.
I visited Skye several months ago. I would recommend it to everyone who can tolerate the weather (which is basically 45ยบ with light rain and driving wind--at least in May (which is apparently the "dry" month)). It is the most beautiful place I've ever been. Being there feels like being in a fantasy version of Earth. Bring your mud boots though, if you want to do any real hiking.
Tolerate?! That's the weather whenever I imagine myself living a different life. Ireland goes up the travel list a few spots. The travel list currently has Hawaii, NZ, Yosemite, Montana, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Prague and Indonesia on it. In case anyone at home is keeping score.
Should you ever get to Montana, let me know. I went to the University of Montana and have some very fond memories of the state. Glacier National Park is one of my favorite places and I ha e lots of memories there. I was the first patient at their in-park Emergency Care facility. -interesting story.
Ha! First ever, huh? Well, Glacier is where I'm planning to be sometime soon, maybe this summer, maybe next. Feel free to recommend anything else in the state. I've technically been to Montana -- Yellowstone -- but not really, and I've been all over the Pacific Northwest, but never dared to cross Idaho (who would?).
Yeah, when I'm not at a crappy hotel in SC, half drunk I'll tell yo about that Glacier story. As for Montana, I'm obviously biased towards Missoula. But scrimetime might have some suggestions too, or Fever
