If you'd like to know all about it, PM me with your questions and I'll be happy to answer them. I can tell you everything about it (including the better rooms). My family goes every year and have for over 100 years.

Cortona, Italy - I'd like to retire there.
Pompeii, Italy - Best nap of my life was when I got lost in the ruins and just curled up and went to sleep.
I live at the Jersey Shore and there are many places that I go to chill and get revialized:

Manasquan Inlet
The jetty at Sea Girt
Spring Lake
LBI (Long Beach Island)
Allaire State Forest
The Bay off of Avenue O, Seaside Park at Sunset

NJ Shore restaurants/Surfcam

For me, it has to be that very first footstep off the plane onto the soil of Ireland. My first time when I was a young man, 12, I felt like I had really arrived home. It was a rush, that to this day is indescribable. I was born here in America, I am fiercely proud of being American and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, but that first step, back onto the soil of my ancestors filled my soul with joy and pride.
I've been back several times and am going back on Monday, but each time, that first step is magical to me.
Other than that, it's the white sale at Macy's.

My happy place is home with my wife. Home is where the heart is.

Aside from my imagination being my happy place...and since I do not have a church...if I am able...

I love these places:
  1. Happy place.
  2. Happy place.
  3. Happy place.
I love them because they have these things and I do ride them over and over again.

I go take my dog walking at this place on San Francisco Bay not too far from my house. Sometimes take a picnic lunch and share it with my S.O. overlooking Mount Tam. It's unbelievably beautiful, restful and tranquil.

I know that spot, earl. I also found it has a calming effect.

Besides the fact that they found Lacy Peterson's body a few miles from there and the inmates who do yardwork from the prison next door, yes - it is rather calming. The fishing isn't all that great though. It's a low key but beautiful place which suits me.

Besides being engrossed in good books (which, of course, is largely independent of geographical location) my physical "Happy Place" could be any of several of my favorite spots.

One of them is a place called "Desert View" on the eastern side of Grand Canyon National Park. The place is far enough removed from the touristy hub bub of Park HQ at Mather Point to give the patient visitor a taste of the grandeur GCNP has to offer.

I've visited there several times over the years, on the job and on vacation. There's a welcome sense of solitude, silence and loneliness at Desert View I find appealing. The best time of day is at sundown when the colors of the painted cliffs come vividly alive and the gentle evening breezes whistle through the brush and stuned pinyon pines. Emerging stars and yelping coyotes give the place a magical allure the American desert southwest is justly famour for. New Mexico's motto is "Land of Enchantment" but the same could be said of northern Arizona .

2 different places, depending on what kind of mood im in:

place 1= on my 4 wheeler, miles deep in the woods, away from everything, with a couple good friends, endless trails, explore the woods all day,find a nice spot to pull over, nice view of the mountains, burn a nice fatty, and enjoy being alive!

place 2=when i really wana relax, nothing physical , sitting in my canoe , floating around a pond, with a bucket of live shiners (little minnows the bass eat) and a big fat joint, go a couple hours before sunset, and float around for hours untill its about dark, watch the sun set as im rippin out large mouth bass, another one of those things that makes me happy im alive that day!
