Where is your favorite place in the world?
No idea yet. Especially since the big appeal for me always is trying something new.

Where is your favorite place in the US?
Ditto.

Where was your first trip out of the US?
We took many road trips to (and just through) Canada when I was a kid. Family. (By through I mean there are parts of Alaska where the mountains require you to drive into Canada and back to get from A to B.)

How old were you when you got your first passport?
20. I did the backpack through Europe thing with a friend one summer in college. Burned through a lot of my savings and ended up increasing my loans in the end, but I figured the odds are good I'd never get another opportunity to leave the country and then I'd always regret it. (The trip was her idea. She got $3,000 when her grandparents passed. That didn't actually go far.)

Where have you traveled to on your passport?
That trip was England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark. I've been back to Ireland and to Italy (separate trips) and our honeymoon was in Spain. (We eloped so we could spend all the money on the trip instead.) Nothing besides Europe.

Does your LO have a passport?
No. But he will eventually. It's tradition in DH's family for the grandparents to take each grandkid on an overseas trip when they're 12. DH's grandparents always did Europe, one grandkid at a time (he had a VERY different upbringing from me) but MIL will probably take LO to Australia instead.

Where is your dream vacation?
The next place I want to visit is Prague and Budapest. We'd planned to do that with a tax refund when we thought TTC would take longer. I'm not a beach person at all. Or anything tropical/jungle. DH and I went to New York City in 2008 and there isn't really anywhere else in the U.S. that calls to me.

This makes me wonder, as a side note, if love and passion of travel is a big reason why we are OAD here.  I know for me, it's a huge reason.  Traveling is so much easier with one.  Or getting a babysitter for those just DH vacations

Where is your favorite place in the world?  New York City, hands down.

Where is your favorite place in the US? The above. Also San Francisco.

Where was your first trip out of the US/where do you most want to go out of the US? Canada was the first other country I went to, since we live in NY. We went to the falls a lot as a kid.  Besides that (at a longer distance) it was Sweden at the age of 13.

How old were you when you got your first passport? 13

Where have you traveled to on your passport? Sweden, Canada, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Does your LO have a passport? Nope, but she's getting one soon.

Where is your dream vacation? A really long and extended trip to NYC.  The most we've been is 3 nights/4 days. It's so freaking expensive to hotel there.  My other is another week long cruise. To somewhere down south. Bermuda sounds nice!

Moosesoar

Where is your favorite place in the world? I loved living in Scotland and I love the great state of Michigan.

Where is your favorite place in the US? That I've been to, Chicago.

Where was your first trip out of the US/where do you most want to go out of the US? I Went to Toronto with my mom.

How old were you when you got your first passport? 25

Where have you traveled to on your passport? China, UK, Spain, France and Italy

Where is your favorite place in the world?  Home, truthfully. I've traveled enough to realize that home is the best place to be.

Where is your favorite place in the US?

Where was your first trip out of the US/where do you most want to go out of the US?

Aside from vacations to Mexico, I spent a semester in England and traveled around Europe

How old were you when you got your first passport? 19

Where have you traveled to on your passport? Mexico and Europe

Does your LO have a passport? No, we haven't left the state with him yet. Planning to soon!

Where is your dream vacation? I'm a big fan of cruises and all-inclusives. I'm just not a very good tourist (I guess I'm a lazy vacationer) I'd like to see South America, so a cruise that stops at major ports would be exciting for me.
