Killer Questions - Favorite Places to Visit
With summer being here, people often begin to think of vacations. The Writers Who Kill differ on are our favorite places to visit. Are any of these a favorite for you?
Annette Dashofy - Durango, Colorado, or Presque Isle State Park in Erie, PA, if I don’t have the time or money to travel.
Heather Weidner - Any beach, Hawaii, bookstores and libraries.
James M. Jackson - I love being in new places, learning about the fauna, flora, and geology, and taking pictures to capture my impressions. But my favorite place to visit is my home in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Martha Reed - Italy, hands down. But I’m keeping other options open.
Sarah E. Burr - London is my absolute favorite city, so much so that I’d love to live there one day.
Kait Carson – Saba
Debra H. Goldstein – For relaxation, any place where I can look at water. For a fast paced trip, a long weekend seeing Broadway shows in New York City.
Susan Van Kirk – Boston
Elaine Douts - My sister’s house because I usually don’t have to cook and clean there.
Margaret Hamilton - Cape Cod beaches and London.
K.M. Rockwood - Mackinac Island.
Korina Moss - That’s a difficult one, since there are many favorites. If I had to pick, I’d say London. You never run out of things to do or see, the architecture is stunning, the history is palpable, and the museums and art galleries are fantastic (and most are free). There are beautiful parks, markets, rivers, and squares. There’s a great variety of ethnic food, although I also love the pubs.
Grace Topping - It's not a place that I will probably get to more than once, but Petra in Jordan has to be at the top of my list. I wish I could go often.
Shari Randall - Some place new!
Mary Dutta - New York City (with London a close second). It’s all about the theater.
What a great list!
ReplyDeleteInteresting list. Most places I've visited. Not Elaine's sister's house, though, but I can see the attraction!
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed--a few more places to add to my "Maybe someday soon..." list.
ReplyDeleteWe all love London and NYC theatre and no one plans to climb a mountain or travel upriver in a canoe. Have a great summer!
ReplyDeleteSince I already live in the area, I don’t have to list Boston.
ReplyDeleteIt really depends upon the time of year and potential weather.
I don’t like to travel in winter because of the potential snow and travel delays plus the shorter amount of daylight and the cold weather.
For some of the places I would like to go back to visit and under optimum conditions, I would choose Charleston SC, New Orleans,
Chicago and parts of Alaska I didn’t get to on my first trip.
In other countries, London, Copenhagen, other parts of England and Switzerland I didn’t visit before.
For first time visits I would include Italy, New Zealand, Portugal and some long distance train routes both in this country and some other parts of the world.
The peak tourist season would be another factor I would try to avoid.
Right now, here in New England there are many options. Since it has been unseasonably hot, I am satisfied with taking day trips here and there and living vicariously through other people’s pictures and experiences.
I am going to Durango for a few days in July, so that covers that one. As for all the rest, they sound amazing, I would add Scotland. Happy travels to all, in real life, your imagination or books!
