JohnMitchell 16 #51 June 26, 2008 Paris. Like Hemingway said, it is a moveable feast. I've only visited it with Vskydiver, never lived there, but I'd like to. Meanwhile, we've had fun in a bunch of places all around the world, even skydived in a few. I'm guessing V would pick Rio Maggiore in Cique Terre, Italy as her favorite city (village). I loved that place too, some great memories. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

longtall 0 #54 June 26, 2008 Was in London for the first time this last April. We had a jolly-good time there. Love the historical aspect. I saw the palace , the tower , bobbies carying machine guns (not much road rage seen where the cops carry machine guns) Soho , Camden and way too much to list further . Ill go back as soon as I can.

skymama 35 #55 June 26, 2008 No, I didn't jump in London.

airtwardo 7 #58 June 26, 2008 Hands down: Paris Quote Dunno Jerry....Been there 3-4 times this year alone, and yes it's nice and there is certainly plenty to do & see. But ya can't swing a dead cat in Rome without hitting something worth spending a day exploring & learning about...and the FOOD in Italy is considerably better than the horse-meat in France! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilDevil 2 #59 June 26, 2008 Quote Maui, HawaiiI know it's an island and not a city but, it is my favorite place on earth. I wouldn't want to live there though. I would miss the variety of the main land too much. Loved it there, but you can drive around it in a day, so pretty though. I dont like cities much, Loved Alaska, the Amazon places with lots of nature stuff :-)``````````````````````````````````` " Cant keep a good woman down " Angels have wings, but devils can fly !

returnofdamac 0 #60 June 26, 2008 Those would be the cliffs of Moher in my background. I went to that part where all the "tourists" are not supposed to go (our secret) Ireland was really great. Dublin was extremeley fun, I just didn't get to spend much time there. Me: I want to ride a bull out of a skyvan. vegasjoe: How the hell are you going to land that thing?

When we got back to the car, it looked like we'd been stung by bees! Worth it for pictures like this, though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

returnofdamac 0 #66 June 26, 2008 IT was only a light drizzle when I visited the cliffs. however that did make for a rather slippery adventure in order to get my picture.

Muenkel 0 #68 June 30, 2008 I've travelled quite a bit. Compared to many European cities, London was not my favorite. I blame that on the fact that it was burned during the war and there's so many modern buildings mixed in with the historical. I've yet to see Rome, which is on my must see list. My pick for favorite city to visit is an odd one since I grew up in one of its suburbs. That's NYC. For me, hands down, it has the most to offer. Oh yeah, Seb mentioned Vancouver. I've yet to go there and I've always wanted to. Honorable mention is Montreal. Stunning city, but too cold in the winter. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
