I believe Dorothy said it best - "There's no place like home."

Archeron

Drunk, in a bouncy castle, at the beach on a sunny summers day.

evil-monkey

San Diego.

Tokyo - It doesn't even need to be explained. :cool:

A beach on a nice night out with friends and a pit fire..drinking and having the craic..

Yore Ma - She's a goer.

Seriously though, Vancouver (If you've been, you'll know why) or St. James Park when the Gallowgate is rocking.

newcastle, for the womenz

rediguana

Korcula, Croatia. Bliss.
I saw loads of octopusses there while snorkelling too.

WindSock

I havent been to enough places yet to have an ultimate favourite. I dont even have a favourite so far, there's so many places I like.

Supercell

Forkhill, South Armagh, the beauty of the Ring of Gullion has to be seen to be believed.

towel401

Okpo, South Korea

rediguana

That's a fascinating graph.

Windsock, I think you should just pick the place you like best that you've been to, and use that as your answer.

GirlInterrupted

Wicklow, Ireland. Because its home.

WindSock

But I don't have a place that I like best...oh Ok. Wales then. I thought it was lovely and the history was interesting. A bit like Ireland but quite different too. Plus the accent is hilarious

Maple

venice, italy. i wish i was there now.

Did you go to Northland and 100 Mile Beach? Amazing...

Vorsprung

Morraine Lake in the Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.

Most beautiful place I've ever been to.

rossie1977

scenery wise the top of Aiguille du Midi is hard beat, 13,000 feet in the air, 360 degree view of france, switzerland and italy alps including mont blanc and the matterhorn, nice restaurant there too

elmolesto

Cartagena De Indias, Colombia

Is this a Michael O' Leary appreciation thread?

I lived in Northland for a few months. Lovely spot alright. Then again, so is the rest of NZ. Bar South Auckland.

Slidey

Sitting on a boat off the Great Barrier Reef, with a full tank of air and the energy to get back in again

pablomakaveli

I love Turners Cross. always has a brilliant atmosphere and the one-liners some of the fans come out with are hilarious.

My favourite non-soccer place would probably be Gougane Barra in west cork. its a really beautiful and tranquil place when it isnt full of tourists.

millford sound in newzealand

Las Vegas, hands down the best craic I've ever had in my life.

I have to agree with you Rossie. I've been to Chamonix many times (got back this afternoon actually after a few days) and love the place. I've been both winter and summer and there is always something to so. Hike, climb, mountain bike, rafting, boarding etc. You name an outdoor sport and you can probably do it there. You couldn't get bored there as there is so much to do. Ohh and not to sound like a sh1t but the top of the Midi is 3,842 metres (12,605 ft) (sorry for the correction) but hey, whats a few feet between friends. Im just delighted someone here loves the place as much as I do.:)

Yep a few pints in Shearer's Bar on a sunny Saturday matchday before jogging in from Strawberry Place to cheer on the Toon, conscious of the fact you'll be heading out later that night on the 'castle nightlife for debauchery in the company of your best maytes (and possibly Tall Paul)

Charlie have you signed up as a new an to make it look like there is more than one Newcastle fan on boards?

That looks absolutely stunning.

The most beautiful place I have been in Ireland is Lenane in the West of Ireland. Between Galway and Mayo IIRC. It's like the mountains are falling into the lake and it completely surrounds you. It's breathtaking.

Also, I think Glendalough is fabulous too.

I love my bed though - gotta say.:D

doh daht dainigs u caught me out Quazzie...but dont knock the 'castle experience, not least the footy

It wasn't me!

Every time I drive over the Wicklow Gap from Blessington, when I crest that hill and see the huge sweeping valley bowl under me, I curse every damn hiker that's spoiling the pristine solitude that place embodies. I'd work as a ranger solely to be able to stalk all of that place if I could (The public can't shoot on national parkland). It would be absolutely amazing. That scene almost makes me religious, because if there's a god, I want it to be proud of that.

Pride Fighter

Dublin is awesome. I'd have Galway a close second. I am not well travelled internationally but have been in nearly every county in Ireland. Yes, it is true, Leitrim does not exist.

SnowMonkey

would have to be here

Oi Oi, I can count at least one other Toon fan.

This punter here is a mate though, who has finally creeped onto Boards.

TheNog

My childhood days living in Rhode, Offaly in the 1980/90's. Best damn village around in those days with plenty to do.

Ruu_Old

Loughcrew Gardens and the Cairns in Oldcastle, Meath. Childhood memories, no place like home.

MagicMarker

As cliche as it is.. New York City.

I don't think i've ever fallen in love with a city before, but i just didn't want to leave.

Fat-Boy Gerrard

Yes NYC much cliched but rightly so. spent the summer of 07 there and still feel i didnt root out half the nooks the place has to offer...amazing time

Krakow in Poland. Absolutely perfect.

Turtle Beach, Tobago
Stunningly beautiful place. If you go at the right time you will be lucky to see hundreds of sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the beaches.

Iwokrama Forest, Guyana
Very peaceful place to go to get away from it all.

NW USA (Oregon, Washington and over the border to Vancouver).
Very beautiful area, mild weather, fantastic for someone like me who likes outdoor activities.

irelands only fjord i believe, its really nice there and further on towards clifden, though the insects that swarm around that lake near lenane on the mayo side would eat the head of you in summer.

ireland has some great scenery that most irish people sadly enough totally ignore; malin head and mamore gap in inishowen, the north antrim coast, i have yet to come across something like carrick a reed rope bridge in my foreign travels. achill island is spectacular, i wonder how ordinary irish people on the street know europes tallest sea cliffs are in achill
