What was the last vacation spot you visited and how was it?

Hmmmm.. what is the name of the island and what is the place like. I love to travel but have traveled more in the Caribbean. Been the to the US once and to Canada a couple of times.

im from the philippines and the name of the island is malapascua...its avery nice white sand beach.....hope u can visit there too....

Oh I hope I will one of these days too.

It is brilliant, cold but brilliant!! The thing I found really funny was, the day we arrived we parked up at the hotel and a couple of the cars had the windscreen wipers pulled back. Now this, where I work is a standing joke, so I went off giggling to myself until the next morning. It was that cold, the windscreen wipers froze to the windscreen and the fresh snow on the boot was frozen so thick it took us half an hour to get the boot open to load up!! Always remember there is a reason for everything & if the locals are doind it, you do it too!! Snowboarding is great, I learnt on a fake slope in a day!!! Then put it to practice for the first time this year and it's very different!! Better though!! I'm not great at it but I enjoy it, my husband also boards and he is awesome!! Our eldest ski's, so I'm thinking of learning that in a day this year for next year!! See which one I like better!! I would recommend American or Canada mid winter just for the views, although driving in the mountains can be a bit scary!! We also been to Florida, new york etc when it's been red hot but I love the extremes there better than rainy old Britain!! I will make it somewhere else eventually but most likely when the kids are grown up & gone!! Or at least when they are old enough to pay for themselves!!

Okay, that is sounding great! I know I that I would probably encounter a winter at some point seeing that my boyfriend is in the US and I brace myself for it but why not make it memorable and try some snowboarding ! I could be scary when you think of coldness, snow and you don't know what you are doing ! LOL You make it sound like fun and I know that my boyfriend will be thrilled that I am willing to give it a try.. Thank ya...

Okay.. I got to say this..I hate the cold !lol.. well at least if I have to be living in in but snowboarding..I would love to try. I have experience a little of the coldness when I visited Canada and the US but never really experienced a winter. Just gonna have to prepare myself for it!

It maybe like doing camping but we are in the beach, we use tent as cottage and use candle as our light at night. It is far from the market and you can not see anything but water and mountain surrounds it. It is not yet fully develop and it is still semi private because no one joins with you if you are in regular days and before the peak of holidays come. Before you can reach the place you have to cross the rough road and the called 45 degree and curve zigzag road so it feels like an adventure but after it a peaceful and beautiful beach awaits.

Sounds like you did some camping. Sometimes not having all the usual amenities can be nice. Just enjoying nature and all that you have with you. There are places in Trinidad like that.

Money can be an issue when travel so do like me and save LOL. Some of the rooms start from like US$65 I have been told but I stayed with family there. I hope you can save enough to visit somewhere soon.

Ahhhh.. You know.. before listening to you guys on My Lot I would have never guessed that India had so many beautiful beaches. There are some countries that are highlighted in certain ways that over shadow the beauty within that country. Trinidad is beautiful as well but we have had a rise in crime and it is all that you hear now. I have been hearing a lot about the beauty of India and thank you for sharing that.

Where is Ooty? Did you go with family or with friends?

Now South Africa is on my 'to visit" list. My niece was there 2 years ago fora pilot project and she loved it there. Sent me pictures. The sandy beaches and the Safari was really something to see. Sometimes we only see the poverty and violence associated with South Africa but there is so much beauty there that is overshadowed. I hope you get to visit Barbados some time or even here in Trinidad.

Oh Wow! That is sounding really nice.. I will say it again, I hate the cold lol. but listening to you guys descibe these places makes me think that hey.. I should give it a try even once and plan to really enjoy it instead of just expecting it to be cold. I like the idea of breath taking and relaxing and the crystal blue lake. It sounds like a real get away. Thanks for sharing that AcousticSoul. I will look it up on the internet. Take care.

I have a friend who visited Las Vegas last year and said it was great. She said it was hot like hell but it was great LOL She stayed at a hotel on the strip and visited a few of the casinos. She enjoyed it with her friends and would like to visit again.

The last time I visited Niagra Falls was in 1993! It was beautiful and I was able to sit by the wall and look over as the water flowed to go over the falls. It was cold! But hey it was a treat. I play our national instrument which is called the steel pan (a lot of north Americans may know it as the steel drum. The ochestra I played with at the time was visiting Toronto and we went to the falls. We had so much fun. It's even better when you go as a group isn't it. It's been a long time since I went there but need to go back. Canada is so beautiful. Have you ever been to the Caribbean?

Okay. I have been hearing about Disney World forever! I know should I ever get there whether with kids of just me and my sweetie I will let loose and be a kid again LOL. I don't think anyone could ever get stressed at Disneyworld and it takes you back to those childhood days that some of us wish we can revert to sometimes when the challenges of adulthood get to you. I hope you and you family can visit there again and have some fun...

I will check your site for photos.In Trinidad, we don't have a lot of lobster. We have crab and shrimp and fish of course.. but I would love to taste some more Lobster. I like the idea of the Relics and old church buildings. So much history and India is a place with so much culture and History. Happy it was a good experience for you.

I have been hearing about Puerto Rico and liking it more and more. I see you have attached a picture of the beach LOL. Nice weather, great beaches.. what is the food like over there though? I am sure you had your fair share of it. Did you enjoy it?

Hmmm sounds like fun. What are the people like on the island? Is it very hilly and do they have a lot of hotels or are there more guest houses? Where are these islands located?

I just looked at Elba island on the internet. Looks great for romance and getaway. Eventually I would like to visit Europe and see the place. I love the look of Austria from the first time I saw the Sound of Music lol.. Look forward to hear of your adventures when you visit South of Italy

The Philippines has a lot of beautiful sites but I am not familiar with the place. I will have to visit some sites and get some advice from you guys on nice places to visit :) Thanks for sharing.

Oh definately! We have a lot of people here whose forefathers and mothers are from India, so the Indian culture is very much alive here. I always here about the Taj Mahal and it is indeed magnificent!

Bhabytart, we are on a mission to send you on your first trip! Whether it is to neighbouring country or far south, I hope you will take a trip. It nice to see somewhere new...

Seee... another nature lover. Nothing like it eh!
