re: Coolest vacation/country you have been to?

Best time I ever had was Cancun in 2000. It was a few years before mtv went there and really "americanized" it. Went with a buddy and his gf. Had a blast doing day activities and partying all night. Went back with my girlfriend the next year, but had a LOT more fun with my buddy chasing skirts and partying hard.

Been all over Europe and vegas about 3 times a year. That Cancun trip was the best though and big part was it wasn't Americanized yet and actually felt like a foreign country back then.

ETA: second best trip ever was a ski trip to aspen with all my college buddies. Barely slept. Partied all night, skied all day. Was near death when it was over but it was a blast.

Back to Europe, it was nice for the culture, sight seeing, tours and history, but none of the places I went make my top 20 best trips even.

All my best trips were with buddies where we partied to be honest. Cancun, aspen, the keys, nola, vegas, Miami, etc.
