What Has Been Your Best Holiday Resort So Far And Why Would That Be?

Hi Monster, I like China the best, not the cities part, but the rural China where people are still friendly and the air is very fresh. Once we stayed in a hotel at the foot of Emei mountain, most tourists stay for a night or two. They started off very early in the morning, and reached the hotel late at night. We were different, we woke up before 11 am (after a day of strenous hiking), had a leisure breakfast, chatting with the waitresses who served us. We got to learn about how certain dishes were prepared, and even about the way of life. The food is very cheap in rural part of China. I hope to go Guizhou one day, one of the poorest province and most unspoilt part of China.

I've traveled a lot.. since a kid. I guess i could say canada's niagra falls was pretty fantastic but the problem is we went there during winter, we couldn't open our eyes. The water from the fall became ice by the time it reached toward us, poking us in the eye. so we just stood there, eyes closed listened to the sounds. (does that count as seeing the biggest water fall in the world ??? LOL) but last march, my family and i went to india, we went to see the taj mahal. it was... magical. heart stopping. we rented a house in delhi, rented a car to agra, another state. 5 hours drive or so. the roads were pretty bad... had tyre puncture twice in the same day. spend a few hours standing outside. but it was nice.. once the tyre got punctured beside a farm. there was a small river kind of thing. underground water being pumped out. the water was ice cold. and it was summer there. when we finally reached taj mahal, it was just... a dream. we had a guide who told us everything about the place. visited some other places there and went back home. its a day i shall never forget.

I am an independent traveler and I like to explore a few localities on the same trip. I like to stay in locally owned guest houses and unusual accommodation like tree houses. I don't stay in resorts because I like budget places rather than luxury destinations. In 2004 I visited the Seychelles. Wow! It has the best beaches in all of the world. In 2005 I went to the Maldives and that wasn't quite as special. It was expensive with exclusive islands. In the Seychelles La Digue Island was perfect.

I loved Belgium during Christmas time. That was beautiful. Also, my husband and I go Sun and Fun in Florida every April. It's an experimental pilots fly-in and that is a blast!
