Top Ten favorite places I've visited

I am by no means a globe trotter, but I have had the good fortune to see a few places in my short life. These are some of the best places, which I'd highly encourage you to visit as well. In no particular order, unless otherwise stated:

1. Negril, Jamaica
We stayed at the RIU resort for a week on our honeymoon. Even though it was January, the days were hot, and the evenings cool. The water was clear and blue. We walked around in town a lot too, and made friends with the locals on the public beach next door.

2. White River, Ozarks in Arkansas
We spent our 2008 stimulus check on a vacation. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The river was high and cold, we caught about 25 rainbow trout.

3. Orlando, Florida
I lived there in an apartment with 8 other girls for 11 weeks in the summer of 2004. Orlando is best experienced over a long period of time, and if you have lots of money. I worked for Universal Studios during the time, so I got to visit the parks for free.
I have also been to Disney a few times. Altogether, I like Orlando as a vacation spot.

4. Las Vegas
Ask me personally about these stories. Its not that they are all bad, there are just a lot of stories.

5. Aggieland, College Station, TX on Gameday
Gig Em, Aggies. A-WHOOOOOOP!
You need to go to at least one Aggie football game in your life to understand what I'm talking about.

6. New Orleans, LA
I was on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras in 2002, quite a circus. And walking around in the daytime is nice too. Go get some benyays at Cafe du Monde.

7. Monterrey, Mexico
I spent a week there on a mission trip in 2006. The view from the top of the mountain makes you feel like you're on top of the world. The town is very urban, and full of life. The people are very very sweet and lovely, especially Iglesia Gran Comicion.

8. Washington DC
I visited an old roommate during the 4th of July weekend. We sat by the reflecting pool and watched an hour long fireworks show. Then we went to the Smithsonian museums and zoo, rode the Metro all over town, saw a lot of memorials, and ended up seeing a drag concert at a bar. Only in DC.

9. London, UK
I went with my family in 1997 to visit some friends that had moved there. The city is crawling with people, but everyone seems cheery. We saw a lot of sites, the changing of the gaurd, a play by Oscar Wilde, and walked across Abbey Road.

10. Redding, California
I was only there for a few days, for a Taekwondo tournament. But I remember thinking that if I ever ran away, I would go there.

Places Not on the List:
- Branson, MO. It would have been better if the weather had been nicer.
- Pensecola, FL. I think I'd enjoy it better now as an adult, but I went as a teenager.
- NYC b/c I've never been there, but would like to.
- Colorado. I've only been there for 2 ski trips, so I didn't get the full experience.
