    Very very hard to beat the Gold Coast and the Hinterland behind it. Stunning scenery.

    The Lake District, somewhere not too challenging. Plenty of places around Great Langdale, the top of Bow Fell or Sergeant Man. Knowing you can get back down for an afternoon beer.

    Underwater. Anywhere with manta rays. Or just anywhere.

    On a boat. Either going to or returning from a massive seafood lunch with friends and a case of wine on Poi Toi island, Hong Kong.

    Kolelemook Lake in Springfield, New Hampshire in the warmth of a Summer day. My favorite childhood memories.

    Too bad Summer was so fleeting......

    I haven't been to any of the places mentioned in this thread. I guess I have places I now need to get to.



    Edit: I've been to Pattaya and Phuket. The temples were lovely.
