What places have you been to on vacations and trips? Special trips please, we don't want to hear about you going upstate to see your mom/grandma/evil cabal (Boss)/relatives.
I'm a wuss. I haven't left North America.
As a toddler, my parents decided to go shopping in Windsor, Canada. We lived in Detroit, so it was a short drive. I don't remember much except tall buildings and a big McDonalds where they sold pizza.
I've taken 2 or 3 trips to Zacatecas in Central Mexico. It's not a tourist attraction, but there is a cool mine there, where you can take tours. Go if you have relatives. Don't expect something like....
Cancun, Mexico. Yucatan Peninsula.
(Please note that last year, our math teacher asked us if anyone had ever been to Mexico. Like 15 people raise hands. "And not Cancun, okay?" 14 people lower hands.)
The beach is probably the most beautiful in the world, except maybe Varadero in Cuba, but I've never seen it firsthand. What's great is that there is stuff to do for people like Hamma (get drunk at the 6,000 bars) and the rest of us like the ruins at Chichen Itza (BRING WATER), Tulum (The most beautiful place in the world. BUT BRING WATER), Xel-Ha snorkeling, shops in Cancun, etc.) However it is sad to see the city itself bleached by tourism- it's almost like one big bar. That is an understatement. There are frikken bars everywhere. Drunken geek PSU admins don't die, they go to Cancun.
And let me say this. If you want to stop masturbating...don't go to Cancun. There are thousands of hot people from whatever gender you prefer.
The only thing I have to say is: Don't stay at the Hyatt Cancun Caribe. And don't drink Mexican tap water. Buy bottled. Mexican tap water is contaminated. Not kidding.
And everyone's made the typical Disney World/Universal Studios trips. But we do it by car, you have to take a jet, and Florida residents get a discount HAHAHAHAHAHA!

well, I've been to many states, but they're all the same, you know mountains here beaches there, same americans everywhere.
But I have been to Costa Rica. now that my friends is one helluva country. Granted I was too yong to enjoy the city night life but damn did it look amazing.
But since my step-father (heh, ex-step-father) was from Costa Rica we got one great tour of the country, to many a small village where most people probally wouldn't go. The Volcanos and ruins were amazing. but lots of spiders, and monkies... but the spiders were worse, like the tarantulas yea... that scared the shit out of me. I mean I cold even begin to describe the beautiful wildlife we saw.
oh and on that trip was the first, last and onl time I have worn a thong. I shit you not. even got pictures of it. was sort of the thing to wear down there... and being younger i didnt care much.
great place, would love to go back, now hat im older and could probally enjoy it more.
