I would say if you are not from here and get the chance, go ahead and go to HersheyPark. Not too bad I guess but I've lived here for all my life so its all old hat to me.
In the states, so far I think I liked St. Louis a bit but really needed more time there.
I prefer to take my vaations inteh Carribbean in March so can escape the 30-40 degrees and go somewhere warmand relaxing. Cruises included.

Helmsley, England.
The "Black Swan" is the place to stay. Great Pub and the best proper English breakfast that I have ever had. One of the most peaceful dawn strolls I have ever taken.

I like the Ozarks, and Oklahoma. Hours of driving and no UPS trucks. Lots of photography opportunities too. You can pull over and sleep, and no terrorists either. Cell phones dont generally work either. That is where Im retiring, an occasional tornado, otherwise nothing, Love it.

It wasn't that stroll you took around the church just window shopping was it?
You know what I'm talking about if you've been there. What happens in Amsterdam, I hope, stays in Amsterdam. You didn't visit the bottom room of the"BullDog" did you? If you did ,I will testifiy that I didn't see you.

Hiking Hermits Trail into "The Grand Canyon" alone. It was great to be 18 and seeking oneself. 120 degrees and running out of water kind of sucked, but I will never forget the joy of finding that little stream of water that refreshed me and showed me the way to the river. Met some pretty cool people that had been living in the canyon, just kind of hiding out. From what I didn't know, nor did I ask. Great experience, just glad I lived thru it.

I will not tell all, just some. The church was built from donations by the local working girls. All around the church is a kind of gallery of shop windows that display just about any sex act that can be provided for money. The "Bulldog" basement I will take the 5th on. This all happened before I worked at UPS, that's my story and I damn sure gonna stick to it.

Next vacation you get, book a flight. The fares really aren't that bad. Rent a boat on the canal, kind of expensive but worth it. Then you can tell me about Amsterdam.

Hey just wondering if you deliver to Togwotee Mountain Lodge? I saw a UPS driver dropping off packages when I was staying there. I said I cant beleve you guys drive all the way out here. The driver said USPS does not even drive this far he said. I told him he was so lucky. I want to drive in Yellowstone.
Ten years ago my wife and I took a cruise from Athens Greece, crossing the Med, thru the Suez Canal to the Indian Ocean. We stopped in Isreal, Egypt, Jordan, the Sychell Islands,and ending with a 5 day safari in Kenya.
Some of the highlites for me were the Wailing Wall in Isreal, the Valley of the Kings and King Tut's tomb in Egypt, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, swimming in the Indian Ocean in the Sychells, and, of course the safari in Kenya.
That was truly a once in a lifetime experience,
I say a once in a lifetime experience because with all the problems going on in the Middle East today, as an American, I have no desire to repeat this voyage.

I went to Hershey Park with my family awhile back and was completely amazed at the difference in taste there is in "fresh" Hershey bars you got at the end of the tour and ones that you get at your grocery stores. Fresh is best! And my vote for most beautiful place around is Alternate Route 14 out of Cody, Wyoming. Unbelievable views of the Wyoming countryside. You're at the top of the world.
