I've been lucky enough to travel quite a bit in the past, much of it while stationed onboard an aircraft carrier with the US Navy (over 20 years ago). My favorite place I visited while in the service was Antalya, Turkey with it's gorgeous coastline and extremely friendly people. The best place I've been as a civilian was Innsbruck, Austria. I'll never forget waking up to the sound of the bells of a local, centuries-old, monastary and raising my head slightly off the pillow to see the snow covered alps all around. Plus, the beer was unbeatable.
