Places you have traveled too.
 
As an regional pilot, where are some of the coolest/best places you guys have traveled out too using your travel privelages? For how long? Was it pricey?

What are some good places to just catch a flight too, and where you don't have to worry about a rent-a-car or anything, just catch a bus into town.

For example in NY at LGA, you walk out of the terminal and for a 2$ bus ride can catch a bus right into Manhattan. What are some other cool places where you can do that?

One place I really want to go to is Alaska (as far as "domestic" travel goes), but I want to check out the sites there, the lakes, mountains, etc. so I imagine that would be a full tour type of deal, which might get pricey.

Bora Bora is by far the best place by far my airline bennies have allowed me to travel to...

Thank you Mr. Webster.

====================================

Mooney, how was Bora Bora? Pricey? What airlines fly into there? Flights usually full?

I havent really gone anywhere yet. I have 4 consecutive days off a month, and would like to find a few good places to visit. I would just pack a duffel bag full of ramen noodles for food, so money is definently an issue.

Went to Munich for Oktoberfest this year. Paid $50 for the airfare tax. The hotel was the most expensive part though, mainly because of how booked all the hotels were.

In the past 18 months I have gone to:

Germany (Cologne and the Ahr Valley)
Ecuador (Guayaquil)
Argentina (Buenos Aires)
Malawi, Africa (Lilongwe, Salima, and Lake Malawi)

Future trips for 2009 will possibly be:

Peru, Uruguay, Shanghai PRC, Hong Kong, London, and perhaps Vietnam.

I'd say the best bet for a neophyte traveler of the places I've been would be Buenos Aires, Argentina. Lots to do, excellent food, even better wines, all in a beautiful setting. In addition, the city is very pedestrian freindly (i.e. you will not need a car), and the "SubTe" (BA's subway) will take you within a few blocks of just about anywhere in town for USD$0.30, and taxis are ubiquitous and cheap. Best of all: Its an inexpensive place to stay and dine. One of the few truly affordable places left. A glorious repast can be had for less than USD$20. Amazing place. Germany (as mentioned above) is incredible as well, just quite a bit more expensive.
