Swampgrrl is the Thursday: Photo Day guest host. She says:

So here's the theme for this Thursday: 1) Post a photograph from a favorite vacation; 2) And/or locate one from a future vacation spot. Say why you loved it or why you will love it. Post a link back here, so we can connect in our travels.

On the left, we have a picture inside the Great Hall of the Musee du Louvre; top right is a garden at Stirling Castle in Scotland, in the middle...an alligator from the Everglades in FL and on the bottom, a setting sun at the beach in Waikiki. I've been to all these places, but they're the places I'd go again in a heartbeat!

I loved Paris with all my heart, and the funny thing is...I didn't expect to like it much at all. There was so much to see and do and experience there! I've been twice and will hopefully go again :-)

Scotland, I felt that I'd love and I did. The scenery, the accents, the kilts, even the haggis! LOVED it!

The Everglades in FL was someplace I'd always want to go to, and finally, after a cruise one year that MaryEllen got lucky on (gambling, not sexing!), we ended up vacation with a airboat tour. Fantastic!

I've been to Hawaii 3 times so far, and I would go back yearly if I could afford it! It's like going to Japan, only everyone speaks english!

I didn't include a picture of Japan, because I don't want to vacation there, I want to LIVE there!

In 3 years time I'll be doing the Grand Tour - the Louvre is way up there on my list of places to visit.

I have never been to Paris but hope to remedy that soon.

So funny that you say that about Hawaii. When I lived there I met more Japanese nationals there than I ever would have imagined. The Japanese tourists would sometimes pet my hair as they'd never seen hair that color in person. It always cracked me up!

These are all wonderful photos but it's the shot of Waikiki that is my personal favorite. :)

Hahah love the comment about Hawaii, it is true though! So many japanese there!

I have been to Paris (loved it) and Hawaii (loved it) and Scotland is on my list of places to go within the next 5 years.

That sounds lovely! Sigh, I wish I could travel like that. Maybe some day! Though, I think seeing the alligator in the everglades would not be on my list of things to do. Eeeeeeek!!!

Nice photo layout...I've not been to Paris but it is on my list...Scotland would be fun to play golf...

I used to live in Tampa, FL and drove through the Everglades all the time...and have been to Hawaii...

All good choices...

The pic from the Everglades is AMAZING!!!!! I would absolutely love to go there... almost as much as I'd love to go to Ireland! Scotland would be nice too, I suppose... but Ireland has always enchanted me!
