edh Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 So what are your favorite non amusement park destinations? I was recently in Puerto Rico and I had an amazing time. This winter I am going to the Caribbean on a NCL cruise for 7 nights (leave out of Tampa so may still go to BGT) but obviously that is just a bonus. What are some of the top places you have been to do stuff other than amusement parks? Even if the city has amusement parks, I usually would do one place and the rest of the time do cultural/foodie things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 1.) Amusement Parks 2.) Amusement Parks 3.) Amusement Parks Actually my favorite destination was probably Washington DC when we went last year. I also like to go to Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, but that's only because they have a really good ice cream place called Just Scoops with a Fat Elvis ice cream (peanut butter and bananas ). And the beach is good away. Finally, I'm not sure if it's a "destination", but when we went to Cincinnati a few years ago, we went down to Kentucky to go to the Creation Museum, which is probably my favorite museum. I'm not sure if I agree with the ideas the museum portrays, but IMO it was really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubysparkles Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I just went to Vietnam and it was beautiful. Hanoi was an intense place and Halong Bay was possibly the most gorgeous place I have ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downunder Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Vegas - it always has so much going on in the one place - bands, shows, and even some sport. New York - just love Manhattan. New Orleans - Bourbon Street is another planet at night. San Diego - love the Mission Beach area. Yosemite - absolutely magnificent, especially from the top of Half Dome. Paris - love this town , even the French can't spoil it. London - love the history, even if it's a minefield of disgruntled exes who moved there. Rome - amazing history, even though it's hotter than the surface of the sun in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edh Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 I am glad this thread is brought back! I have some more: San Juan: Beautiful beaches, lots of things to do, great food, and an amazing place to visit. Hawaii: I love the beaches, and lots of things to do around the island. Next trips I hope to take that don't involve amusement parks: 1) Lima Peru- I want to take a friend. I'd love to see Maccu Piccu but I don't think my frequent flyer miles have availability at the time. 2) Bali or Thailand- Haven't decided which one, but want to go for amazing atmosphere, scuba diving, and food. 3) Dublin, Ireland- I hope to visit it during St. Patricks day next year. I live in Savannah, so I want to see how it compares. After all these trips I should have about 180K Frequent Flyer miles left to do something. Haven't decided what. I want to visit every continent, so maybe hit up Australia and Morocco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barge84 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I used to go to Vegas every year, but haven't been for about 5-6 years. NYC is always an awesome city to visit Chicago Heading to Cabo in a few weeks for a wedding. Never done a beach resort type vacation, so I'm curious if I'll like it.
