Best trip you've ever taken.
delicious
diggYou know how some people have cool stories about saving babies in batswanna, visiting the Great Wall, scuba diving off the great barrier reef, rebuilding homes in India after the tsunami, or the Galapagos Islands.
Well I have none of those, I do not even have a good "I'm with stupid" shirt from someplace cool.
Maybe that should be my post quest resolution, to visit someplace cool. I just am not good with getting shots for a disease I can not pronounce.
MMMMMMMMMMM Choclate Cake!!!!!!!
Artists, houseboats, music, organic food, a party where I dressed up as a tea pot and my friend dressed up as an English breakfast, romantic drama, the world cup, and general good times with some wonderful people.

So I will say that the best sub-trip that I have taken with in the big tip of my life (I a journey person, believing life is a journey), would be the trip I took in 1980. I traveled from Atlanta to Honolulu. I rode a train from Atlanta to L.A. and then flew from there flew to Hawaii. The five days crossing most of the country by train were fantastic. I won’t regale you with the highlights that I still remember 27 years later. When we touched down in Hawaii, the flight attendant got on the intercom and welcomed us to para… Hawaii. She almost let the secret slip from her lips. The three months I got to be in Hawaii was one of the best times of my life.

I’ve come to see that the ultimate source of all human anguish is that we are finite beings sentient of infinity.
was in October 1999. I was there to cover a series of concerts and, while there, got to experience music, go sightseeing, meet old and new friends, and embark on some groovy sidetrips; discovered Pret a Manger when it was decent (before it came stateside); ate the best polenta I have ever tried; bought way too many records from some grungy Soho shops (I collect vinyl) and trinkets from a Notting Hill street market; even enjoyed a wee bit of illicit romance (having sex in another country is just so much better than doing it here - don't know why that is)...
Happy sigh...

I traveled to Hawaii. I liked it so much, I stayed for nearly eight years. (Looking back, I wish I had remained there.)
First time in Paris. And well as the second time...and all the subsequent times.

Driving through the Highlands of Scotland...where, it seemed, we were the only people on earth...

In 2003, I played at the Tokyo Dome in Japan before a NFL Football game. That was a lot of fun.

Showing up, where "the moment" needed me to be. I mean, the perfectly timed entrance to a room, or auditorium, or bus stop, and the person in that same room exclaims, "I was just thinking, that I needed someone here".
That's probably not what you were inquiring after, was it?

And maybe something better than what I had been inquiring after. :-)

What kind of trip are we talking about here?

The kind of trip which requires travel, not narcotics.

I just wanted to make sure before I responded. It is Friday night, after all.
Travelling on a train filled with red-jacketed Boy Scouts across the northern tier of states to the National Jamboree at Farragut State Park, Idaho in 1969 (where we got to watch the moon landing on an IMAX-sized screen) was pretty good.
Going by local Greyhound from Grand Rapids to New Orleans with my church youth group to the first Jazz and Heritage Festival in 1973 was really good.
Touring Iowa by bicycle (with 10,000 other riders)- that was a trip! It was such a good trip I did it nine times! The whole state comes out to say, "Hi!" Making twice-daily call-ins (before the days of cell phones) to either KCCK in Cedar Rapids, IA or WYCE in Grand Rapids, MI. Sometimes both. I got to interview the Mayor of Houndville (not a real town, but a trip in itself), got served dinner by a direct descendent of Wild Bill Hickock, had the best donut in the world in Shenandoah ( I should alert the Road Food people. I don't remember the name of the place, but it was on the south side of the street on the north side of town- shouldn't be too hard to find.) Missed a turn and did not notice for five miles that the other thousand people were gone! (It was a beautiful morning- wind at my back, blackbird singing from the fencepost...)
Don't get me wrong. It was hard work. Hard enough that you sweat out all the crap that you've stored up for the past year, no matter how deep you hid it; and fill that space with the feeling that comes from True America- hard work, peaceful scenery, friendly people, friendships old and new. It fills you full enough to get you through another year.

I try not to advertise my illicit activities on public message boards, but thanks for checking Jim. LOL.
Those sound like fantastic experiences. I think a lot of people hear the word "trip" and think of far off and exotic places--but some of the best trips I've taken are here in my own state and in the U.S., discovering myself along the way.
