The holiday thread :).
 

I like to hear stories about peoples holidays. Just a thread to talk about where you're going, where you've been, how it was and what you done :D I'm quite interested in globe trotting.

I haven't been to a lot of places in this world, but the best place I ever visited has to be California. I have some family out there, spread out in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, and Oakland, and I loved all those places. I especially liked the beaches (Newport, Laguna, and Huntington Beaches in Orange County, and Venice Beach). I was there a few years ago for 4 weeks, spending a good amount of time in each city. No, I did not spot any celebrities in Hollywood, but I did check out all the stores they buy from!

During the same trip I also visited Death Valley National Park, in the middle of the Mojave Desert, specifically Badwater Basin, during one of the hottest summers recorded there. On the day I was there the temperature was approximately 130'F, and dry as hell. I thought I was going to burn up!

I once went to Acapulco with a group of lads. The minute we arrived at the hotel we slung the suitcases into the room. I swear they were still sliding along the floor as we slammed the door shut. Straight out the front to flag a taxi down.
We told the driver to take us to a place with plenty of beer and fit women.
We sat in the cab as we drove down the main strip past all these top night spots wondering when the driver was going to stop. He drove on and straight out of town for about another 30 minutes. Just as we were beginning to get a little concerned (being our first night and all, plus being very street wise) we pulled into a lonely dark building on some hillside somewhere.
One of the lads said, "what the fuck is this place!"

The driver replied with a huge grin..."best whorehouse in Me'ico!"

:laughing: I've had plenty shifty taxi drivers. Never been drove to a brothel before though. Amazing story :laughing:

From June 10 to July 1st I will be in Europe...visiting family in Belgium and England (with a few days in London on my own), visiting an aunt & uncle's vacation house in the south of France, visiting a friend in Switzerland, and maybe something else like Barcelona or Amsterdam. Though I don't want to rush around, so I might just chill on the Côte d'Azur‎ at the end of my trip after spending a few days at my aunt & uncle's in Provence.

This can't come soon enough! Although I haven't planned any of it yet except for my actual plane ticket.

Wow!! That sounds so exciting! Be sure to take lots of pictures :)

When I was younger my family used to go to the Caribbean alot. I remember we went to Aruba twice, the Mayan Riviera, and on a couple cruises, one of which we stopped in Antigua, Barbados, St. Maarten, St. Lucia and St. Thomas, and the other one we stopped at Cozumel among other islands (can't quite remember). I also went to most provinces East of Ontario with my family, and to Florida and Pennsylvania in the States.

With my friends I've only ever been on small trips, ie. Montreal or skiing trips in Quebec.

I really want to go to Europe though, and Italy and Greece in particular. Egypt would be nice as well.

Yeah, me too. I'd love to do that with my friends when we're all done school, and before we have to go into the real world!

This sounds amazing. I'm sure it'll be absolutely out of this world. Be sure to tell me all about it with pictures :).

As for thom and burning wanting to come to Europe. Swapsies? I'd kill to go across the pond. I'm going to cancun but I don't feel it really counts in the sense that it's a holiday resort. I want to go somewhere like a stereotypical American suburb and live. I'm hesitant to go to America because I'm not 21 *sucks* but Canada will do if I ever get the funding :).

On holiday I recommended travel to Spain, its amazing country, high temperature, alcohol, drugs, pretty nice girls, awesome climate to chillout, go to Spain and don't back to your home. :>
