Either Easter Island or Flores, Indonesia (specifically Komodo Island where all the Komodo Dragons live). Both places felt like they were on another planet. It's hard to make me feel like I am somewhere completely alien since I grew up overseas and was lucky enough to travel extensively, but both those places succeeded.

The only place I've traveled to is Disneyland so...Disneyland. Haha. I love it though, I'd live in Cinderella's castle if they'd let me.
Is that the castle with the scary tour with the talking mirror? I hated that place when I was young.

Hard to choose!
I think Sorrento/Capri in Italy were totally stunning. (But for culture and fun, I would prefer Munich or London).
From my home country Canada, the Rocky Mountains are stunning. Peyto lake in Alberta is beyond beautiful. You have to see it in person. I can drive there from my home in Calgary in about 2-3 hours! The water is so blue it looks like paint.

I'm not one for countryside and all that jazz so for me, my favourite place so far is:
San Francisco - I love big cities with awesome skyscraper skylines. London doesn't really offer such a grand scale (it's pretty flat for the most part and I live outside of London anyway) so I had a big smile on my face when I saw San Fran for the first time, as it's the first city of its type that I've ever visited. Can't wait to go back. So much to see and do also.

Whistler, Canada.
Spent two seasons their including the second snowiest ever recorded. Having to snowboard for work, parties, people and scenery. Best time of my life to date.

Sweden and Finland. Being half-Swedish (and having a Finnish grandmother) made me travel quite a lot to those two countries. I'd really like to live there, so peaceful and beautiful.
I've also visited Dublin for a couple of days, loved that one too.

Just got back from a week long car/camping trip.
Three places really stood out.
Camping on the banks of the Missouri River at Ponca State Park in northeast Nebraska. I was the only one at the camping area on the flood plain. It was on a wild section of the Missouri.
Blue Mounds State Park in Laverne, Minnesota. The trails up though the prairie at sunset were amazing. All kinds of wildlife, the heard of bison, the diversity of the plant life. I thought the prairie was a sea of grass, but the amount of flowers showed me I was mistaken.
And camping along the Mississippi River in Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois. That river just fascinates me.

The San Juan area in Puerto Rico. Great weather, great food, beautiful scenery, nice people, did I mention the unbelievable tastiness of the food?
Also the Greek islands. They are also mindblowinglly beautiful with delicious food, but everything is very expensive and the people are a bit aloof.

That would be Japan as well. The place, the people (incredibly cool people who came to talk to us all the time and share tips, meal or just small talk), the food (even the fast-food: my dreams are filled with Freshness Burger greatness), and the overall experience and cool stuff we got into every single day of the trip.
Also for the first time in my life, the sensation of really being "somewhere else" (that's not something I got when travelling in Europe).

Fushimi Inari is even better at night (eery and beautiful at the same time). Have been there three times already, still blows my mind.

Sofia (Bulgaria).
The people were really nice and helpful, the city is pleasant to stroll through, everything had a laid back atmosphere. It's hard to pinpoint something that makes it great or memorable, but the whole experience was the best moment I had while traveling.
Also Venice, for a most "touristy" experience. Magical, magical city, but needs to be visited when there is no crowd.

I want to say the Middle East (Syria as a whole and Old Jerusalem in particular). I am not a religious or spiritual person but it really left a deep impression on me. It's funny how the landscape somehow clicked and I felt really aware of the fact that this region is where the bases of human society were set. It's all epic and biblical in every sense of the words.
The turmoil certainly enforces these impressions. What is going on in Syria is really breaking my heart with all the graciousness and hospitality we witnessed and received there.

Pulau Perhentian (Malaysia).
Heading back there in three weeks. Been 7 years since last time. Can't wait.

Do you think it would be safe to travel to Syria now?

Kauai and Interlaken, Switzerland have been my fave places to vacation. Beautiful scenery and great outdoorsy stuff to do. Snowboarding down Jungfrau is just way too cool.

Toss up between Paris and Switzerland. Went to a few other places in Europe as part of a travel delegation. Paris was great due to the architecture and the Louvre, while the town we visited in Switzerland was just absolutely gorgeous and White Water Rafting was just fantastic. Even though the water was freezing... in the middle of Summer.

Such a hard question...
A lot of very different places, my last great ones were New Orleans and Zanzibar

Kauai was beautiful, but I went there ages ago.
The Grand Canyon is also EXTREMELY cool to see in person, but i'm afraid of heights so the narrow trails did me in bigtime.
For pure touristy fun I enjoyed Paris a lot. I didn't care for the atmosphere like a lot of people would, but all of the museums and landmarks are impressive. It's like a utopia of things to see.
I also highly enjoyed the time I spent in Germany, especially Bavaria had a lot of really really cool towns and things to see (obviously the palaces of Ludwig were awesome).

Since Japan and Tokyo are getting lots of love I will throw Berlin into the ring. It is a stunning collision of history and modernity. If you have a chance to enter or exit from the relatively new central train station it is something else.
Is there lighting at night? I don't know when I'll be back there again, I miss Kyoto so much. =(

I like visiting Japan every now & then, but I hate what it does to my wallet. Everything costs, including breathing the air.
Either Australia or Dubai, loved them both and would dearly love to go back to either again.
What was it about Cyprus you liked so much?

Definitely not safe. The situation is close to a civil war as far as I know.
