    ...taking a little informal poll for my blog. What are your travel favorites (based on places you've actually visited)?

    Country
    City
    U.S. Destination
    Beach
    Ski Resort
    Hotel

    Me...?

    Italy - A given, for me...
    Buenos Aires - Coveting a second home there
    Palm Springs - So much to do in a small area and great climate
    Los Cabos - My favorite to date but I suspect this will eventually get replaced
    Arapahoe Basin - Pure skiing mountain
    Shoreham Hotel in New York City - Not the fanciest or the biggest but a home away from home in New York City

    i could give different answers each time asked, but for now:

    italy
    phoenix
    new orleans/ florida keys
    any in australia (the stingers a minus, but the toplessness makes up for it)
    dont ski
    hotel is too hard to answer. depends on the city.

    I wish you had asked for favorite island or favorite worldwide destination because it would be Santorini without question. The island of Santorini really didn't fit into any of your categories.
