The entire Okanagan Valley is like heaven on earth.
The landscape, breathtaking and the people so very friendly.
I hope if you love to travel that you'll visit British Columbia, Canada. You won't be disappointed and you'll leave wanting to move there.

I have family in Washington state now, so BC has moved even closer into my travel orbit. So far I've just been to Vancouver, but deeper forays are certainly on the shortlist...

I love to travel but wasn't born rich enough to really explore the world. It's gotten so damned expensive anymore.

1. Banja Luka, the administrative capital and the largest city of Republika Srpska, and the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Do not talk about the former Yugoslav war and do not talk about Kosovo. These are very sensitive matters, and locals can easily get offended without it being intended and become aggressive. Also fans of the local Borac football team have history of attacking with knives or even machete tourists who wear football shirts of their local team, especially at night. In such cases police would rather detain the attacked, than the attacker... Also, just remember that there are still some unexploded land-mines in the fields in the whole country.

2. Hebron, West Bank (lots of check point info...hmm 2 divided areas in a row)

3. Middleton, Conneticut "Middletown is also the home to Connecticut Valley Hospital, the major psychiatric facility for southern New England. So if you see a few questionable people on the streets, relax, they're outpatients and they're probably properly medicated... it is advised to walk with others at night and be aware of local gang members and area sexual offenders. " Hey after Banja Luka and Hebron this sounds like home!

4. Punta Allen, the Yucatan... an isolated and unspoiled fishing village, this place actually sounds real nice.

5.Espírito Santo, a state in Brazil next to Rio de Janeiro (I think I'll wait until after the Olympics)

Our fans once pushed over a porta-potty because the person who went inside to use it was wearing a Cowboy's jersey. But at least our fans do not carry machetes!
