The Greek Island of Santorini.. the beaches are made up of black , red and white lava pebbles because it's built on a Volcano...
Not my pictures... mine were taken before digital... and I was lucky to be there before it became so popular for visitors and nowadays it's always packed...
Isle of Skye Scotland... where we saw the Aurora Borealis for the very first time... mesmerising
The Caves at Nerja, on the borders of Malaga and Granada Spain. I've been 3 times and each time it's breathtaking..

I think of a photo of our daughter sitting by the pool on a cruise ship wearing a bikini and a glacier in the background. That was at Glacier Bay, Alaska
Having tea at an open air tea shop in the rain forest of Queensland Australia. On a different day we went snorkeling on the Barrier Reef.
Picnic supper on the North Rim while watching the moon rise over the Grand Canyon.
Feeding the Barbary apes in Gibraltar.

Well gee...most of you guys have been all over the place. I never traveled much until I met this hubby (the only one with any money).
My coolest places would be:
Camping at Algonquin Park when I was a kid.
I have been to Florida a few times at Disney.
The best is when I visited Nova Scotia a number of years back to visit my husbands aunt.

I've been to many cool places, but, the coolest place was the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Hero's in Ft Scott Kansas. You absolutely need to see the story of Irena Sendler.
Called Life in a Jar. A quick overview for a very special lady.
During WWII, Iliana, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto. She had an ulterior motive… She KNEW what the Nazi’s plans were for the Jews.
Iliana smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger kids). She also had a dog in the back, that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in, and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.
During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi’s broke both her legs, and arms, and beat her severely. Iliana kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.
After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it, and reunited the family.
Most of course had been gassed.
Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.

I don't know about "cool", but the three places I love the most are Burgundy, Maine, and my home state of Virginia.

South Pacific - my idea of paradise on earth:
Amazon River - much of the area around the river is truly untouched wilderness:
Angel Falls, Venezuela - mesmerizing, as is the entire Guiana Highlands region around it. Columns of rock jutting up thousands of feet from the jungle floor - spectacular and unique!
Dozens of other spectacular waterfalls in the area.

One more, (if I'm allowed) On my solo trek through Alaska, driving along in the middle of the night listening to Johnny Horton,
I turned him off,
stopping the truck, getting out on the highway, feeling I was completely alone to experience and drink in the smells of Alaska,
the feeling of it., the silence. Then, looking up at the first and most incredible Northern lights I'd ever seen! I stood there gasping!
I didn't want to ever leave that spot! Well, until I heard a noise in the bushes! haha! I was out of there so fast!
