I've been to the Bahamas, Mexico and Canada. I love Canada and look forward to getting back there as soon as I can, for the others, I'll pass unless I'm going to Mexico City to ride roller coasters for 2 days.

I've been in spain and Amesterdam holland before and Ofcourse Egypt as I am Egyptian originally, and the most wonderful place for me is Egypt pepole are very warm and nice they love tourists, a lot of history over there, Nothing compare to cruising the river Nile and all these temples along the way 3 or 4 or even 7 Nights.

I've been to Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong, and some areas in China.

I can't really say I remember too much about China because I was so young when I went there and just disliked everything (except the food). I was in Hong Kong twice and for most of the summer...so I have memories there, but I didn't really get to appreciate it as much as I probably would if I went today.

Mexico was a drunken blur for me lol Gotta love college in San Diego

Canada is nice and I have family there...so I'll probably be back there at some point.

Been to Canada many times.  We have both camped and fished in the wilderness and been in some of the largest cities.  I have also been to Panama and Honduras.  That was an adventure.

I have only visited southern China twice and it was not for leisure. That was over a decade ago. My first visit I have experienced some culture shock. Some of the cheap hotels are primitive and filthy which in my opinion are not made for vacationers to live on. I won’t elaborate more on it. If you go on a tour, you will be accommodated very well with better lodging. I may have the opportunity to visit other countries later on when there is a conference scheduled at a specific city/country.  ;)

The only other country I have lived in was England as a teenager and it was wonderful, wish I could go again and see the things that did not interest me as a teenager, like London. My best memory is of Stonehege and the roman baths, it was so incredible to see that. The open markets are more impressive then or flea markets here in the states.

I've been to Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Ireland.  I spent a couple of months in Spain and just short trips to the other places.

 :cat:  I've been to Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.  They are such beautiful places to visit. The first time I have ever seen snow was in Norway! :)

I have traveled to Mexico, the Caribbeans, and to Canada.   I think I would love living in Canada.  Very pretty and the people were nice.

Went to the Phillipines once, very humid and beautiful, but I could never live there, after being in the states.

I've been to Australia, Brazil, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Germany, Jamaica, Mexico, The Philippines, Thailand.  I lived in Taiwan for a few years and really loved it.  Can't say there was any particular place that impressed me the most. 

I just recently went to Jamaica a few weeks ago and I didn't like it too much only because people begged you so much to buy stuff.  We went on a shopping tour and stopped at about four places where they sold souvenirs and crafts and one was like a craft village of sorts and people acted like sharks that smelled blood when they saw us coming it was about 6 of us on the tour and they all begged us to buy their stuff. 

I didn't buy anything because it really put me off.  I would have been more inclined to buy if they weren't literally physically trying to pull me in to their little shops.  I understand it's a poor country but enough begging.  If I go back I would just spend it all at the resort which was a decent all inclusive resort or I would do the other adventure activities.
