What is the best trip you ever took?

So, like it says, of all of your trips, what was your favorite?

Mine hands down would be Tanzania - seeing the people, animals, everything was just the complete experience. I don't know that I can ever beat that one. Sure there will be the "trip I got engaged on", the trip to "x" with the kids. But for the sheer majesty, this is the one to beat

The time I went to Tijuana with T-Bone....

Man, if I didn't know you were kidding, I'd be pissed for not getting an invite to that one!

I would never go to Tijuana. Tejas, perhaps...but never Tijuana. Bad experience there in '86.

One of my best trips was a wine buying trip to Germany with Rudi Weist. 11 days, tasted over 500 reislings, saw amazing countryside, grew a new liver, and lived to tell about it. We did 240 KM / Hour on the Autobahn, hit up small pubs and talked to SS guys drowning their sorrows. Totally changed the way I look at wine, having bone dry reislings with Rabbit, Venison, etc...

Had dinner at Manfred Prums house, Gunderloch's house, Emrich Schonleiber's, Robert Weil, ate at the castle in Heidelberg and drank German Pinot! Simply incredible.

Mine was a two week trip I took with my wife through Bavaria and most of Austria. What made it special? The only reservation we made were the flights and the rental car. That's it. We had zero plans. Went where we wanted to go whenever we felt like it. It was the most relaxing and pleasurable trip we've ever taken.

I've done very few 'long' trips, but have had my fair share of short stays at very nice hotels

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!

I went to Jamaica with my girlfriend for a week. I met a local chick, broke up with my girlfriend and spent 5 months with this girl. All we did was screw, smoke dope, drink rum and hang out. What a trip.

My first trip to Amsterdam in '07. I traveled there from Brussels two days ahead of Steve, who had business in the UK. Even though some guy followed me and tried to rob me, going to a foreign country on my own for the very first time was thrilling, and it transformed my view on travel from an occasional indulgence to an absolute obsession.

Any one of several trips to Italy, though Istanbul and Jerusalem were very special too.

One of these was much nicer than the other.
