Personal recommendations are so much better than something left on a website. Anymore, people are paid to write glowing reviews of places that are absolutely horrible. I never trust reviews on travel websites anymore. I love it when people share their own experiences!

Wow, it sounds beautiful! I think it's great you highlight this as a possible romantic getaway, because it seems everyone here thinks that the only places to go on your honeymoon are either in the Caribbean, Hawaii or Paris. Those places would be so full of tourists and I think they wouldn't be...

I think I wouldn't want to try to take the knife on a plane, personally. Yeah, you may have good intentions but that doesn't mean they will believe you. I think I am with the ones saying to buy it there. After all, is the knife really worth the headache it could end up being it it's not...

Wow! I had never heard of such a thing. I agree with others that I would think I would be easier to just increase the admission. After all, it's not as though taking a picture harms the environment in any way. What are their views on camera phones? After all, there are plenty of phones that...

I think any travel can be stressful. Nothing ever goes according to plan! I think the best travel partners would be someone who can make light in almost any situation and roll with whatever comes at them. Someone who can take a deep breath and then try to think of a solution. So basically...

I agree that people are ridiculous with their trash. I never throw trash on the ground or out of a window. It takes away from the beauty of a location and is terrible for the wildlife. I have started taking a trash bag with me when I know I will be going somewhere like a lake or some sort of...

I am self employed and do odd jobs online. Right now I am doing work for a company online, and I am writing a book. I am hoping to get it finished before the new year so I can start looking for a publisher.

I am more of a nature person. I don't know if I have a specific location, but as long as I can garden and run a small self sufficient farm I would be happy.

Very interesting! There were a number of points you made that I had not really thought about. I think part of the fun of visiting different countries is the ability to learn about the different cultures and see how different other people live. Sometimes, though we can inadvertently be...

Thailand has always been somewhere I have dreamed of going, mainly because it is so untouched. I really hope that it doesn't become to modernized to where it ruins the uniqueness of the country. I would really like to see it stay the way it is. I really want to see the ancient temples there...

Very beautiful. I love visiting beaches on vacation. Sometimes, even though you are supposed to be relaxing, a vacation can get a bit stressful. But when you take a stroll on any beach you instantly relax. I love white sand beaches with that pure blue water.

Very interesting post. I had not thought of a few of those. I have to say, I am terribly friendly when people start talking to me, and I think it would take a bit of practice for me to be mindful of the fact that I am female should I ever have the chance to actually visit India.

I haven't had either, but I have been told about it. I was told that goat was similar to venison, but with less of a game taste. Lamb has always been described to me as being tender. I would think it really depends on the person preparing them meat for you. Some meat really requires someone...

Thankfully, I haven't experienced anything like that. I have heard horror stories of being mugged, etc. and I always try to keep this in mind and not make myself a target. Granted, sometimes this can't be avoided, but there are things one can do to help not be a target.

I love all the great suggestions here! I am sure I am not the only person benefiting from this list of places.
