Well, while making another blog about why I strongly disliked another place... I had a thought to create a list about what places I would like to visit again based on personal experiences.

If you want, which I encourage, tell me why you do or don't like the places I listed.

10) Paradise, CA

9) Lake Tahoe, CA (I liked the surrounding area's better then the city, but this is more known)

8) Salt Lake City, UT

7) Eastpark Resovoir, CA

6) Las Vegas, NV

5) Maui, Hawaii

4) Santa Clarita, CA

3) Aranel, Costa Rica

2) Capitola, CA

1) Morro Bay, CA

I'll list the reasons later on, but without a doubt these are the top ten places I would happily drop it all and go to again.

VEGAS FTW! I am going in February, because I win money (no joke, $100 = $2k for me at least, that's the ratio average) and I never really tried to hit on chicks there, which I am thinking about doing this time. Nuff said.

San Francisco, CA. Visited there last year and it was beautiful, especially the hills. LA is pretty cool too. I'm going to go to more places in CA next spring.

When I was a kid...... I went to this place off Texas in the gulf of Mexico called South Padre Island... I kinda wish I could go back on that trip. When I was in Alice, TX... IT was the first and last time I had seen fireflies. To me, I knew they were fireflies, but I wanted to pretend they were lil mystical fairies, coming to wish us safe travel. I also remember hatching two lizard (gecko) eggs by accident and when they popped out, they were alive! Able to function fine and everything. So yeah....

I also want to go to Disneyland again too, but kinda hard to go at this age without a girl... I don't want to go with a girl unless I am serious about her, because Disneyland makes me fall in love too easy. I told myself when I was a kid, that I wouldn't come back as an adult until I have a family of my own, or at least the start of with (with a girl I plan on being with for a long time)... so...

Yeah? Cuz I have kept thinking about it ever since I had left there. It was so strange how I could go out to the water late at night and it was still warm! It was beautiful out there!

Oh is that how Kaui is spelled? I have a buddy and his name is Kawai, just assumed that's how the island was spelled tongue.gif.

We tourists love to hike and fish and swim biggrin.gif. From what I hear though, the locals don't like tourists.

I'd wanna re-visit Japan. I've been there these past two summers and I LOVED it! hahahaha. Miyajima Island is a must for anyone who goes there.

If you want, which I encourage, tell me why you do or don't like the places I listed.

10) Paradise, CA

9) Lake Tahoe, CA (I liked the surrounding area's better then the city, but this is more known)

8) Salt Lake City, UT

7) Eastpark Resovoir, CA

6) Las Vegas, NV

5) Maui, Hawaii

4) Santa Clarita, CA

3) Aranel, Costa Rica

2) Capitola, CA

1) Morro Bay, CA

I'll list the reasons later on, but without a doubt these are the top ten places I would happily drop it all and go to again.

I'm kind of killing time, so I'll do as I said I would and list some reasons.

10) Talk about a great drive to and from, it is just mountains of beauty. It has a pretty neat town and an awesome atmosphere.

9) Another great mountain area. The best part is the snow and going up there to shoot guns and just have a blast in this absolutely breath taking wonder and beauty.

8) Salt Lake city is just one of the oddest and most awesome places I have been. I mean, from absolutely desolate lands to this amazing and beautiful city that has a REALLY different attitude then any city I have ever been to. The food isn't the greatest, but meeting people their was loaded with great stories and fun times.

7) This is a camping ground area that although lacks the real visual beauty, has a lot of sweet amenities without feeling like a phony trip. Nothing like being able to shop at a local shop about 10 minutes away then going back to your spot in front of a gorgeous lake, fish some, swim, chill with homies and make a fire.

6) Sin City, I'd like to evaluate further but as the saying goes, what happens there stays there smile.gif. Great times though.

5) Greatest beaches in the world (that I have seen). The locals are more accepting to tourists and it is a very laid back place, with that nice tropical weather and like I said before, my favorite beach in the world smile.gif.

4) Santa Clarita, although not most peoples choices is glorious to me because it is just close enough to L.A. without being in L.A. (a huge plus for me). Whenever I have driven to it, I have always felt great. I have never ever had a bad experience there, and the drive to there is one of my favorite ever.

3) Costa Rica in general is such an interesting country. It is like a hidden gem of South America, great prices the locals LOVE Americans, the jungle is just shockingly beautiful. The beach is phenomenal, and there are so many great things to do and explore and see and witness and experience. Can't say enough good things about this place.

2) Capitola is number two on this list because for a while I severely hated Santa Cruz, and this sister city is such a reverse to that place that I had to put it in my top. Great people live there, dog friendly beaches, great drive and it smells like a good place to be (if that makes sense lol).

1) Number one because the food there is classic in my mind. A perfect coastal town. This is what California should be like, more places like this. It is absolutely GORGEOUS, they have there roots well on display while being a modern and efficient town. The food though... dear sweet mother of haysoos was it delicious (I like seafood). Fresh everything and the people their love everyone. Probably some of the nicest and quietest people I have ever met.

On a side note, WOOT THE SUN IS BACK, I have my first burn of the spring/summer season! I love it.

I haven't been to many places in my adult life, but here's my top 2

Mont Tremblant, Canada

Oahu, Hawaii

I love going to new places, but based on the fun I had at these two places, I'd go back in a heartbeat. My wife asks me almost weekly when the next time that we can go back to either Hawaii, or Canada.
