Travel time on Answers!
It’s August and whether you are planning a holiday to some great, exotic locale or are just back from one, Answers is the place to celebrate your vacation! This month, we are doing a special initiative in the Travel category where we invite you to share your fondest memories of landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes and skyscapes through your travel stories and anecdotes.
Spread over four weeks, with each week catering to one particular theme, this initiative will showcase the best holiday destinations and the most awesome travel stories that come from you! So start working on that travelogue of yours and include details like places to stay, things to see, best shopping deals and the like. And don’t forget to tell us why it is among your favorite holiday destinations! We’ll be awarding 50 bonus points for the best story each week.
Not only that, we invite you to share your favorite photograph of the vacation on one of these Flickr groups:

Once you post your picture there, remember to leave us a comment with the Flickr link on the blog, or add the link in your answer. At the end of four weeks, your story and photograph could be featured on our blog.

- Join the Groups (whose links are mentioned above)
- Upload your Travel photos there
- Copy the link of your photo and use that in your answer!
This week’s question is about dreamy landscapes. Meadows full of flowers and green grass, a winding river, a roaring waterfall, awe-inspiring mountains, or endless deserts – what landscape inspired you the most and made for an unforgettable holiday? What was your most picturesque and idyllic holiday in the countryside?

last april i went to florida,on the way back there were some rather hefty storms in the caolinas.as usual these planes fly over these storms,well as i was looking through the window of the plane i see this impressive thunderhead cloud,the traditional anvil cloud,it really impressed me,i said to myself,sommeone is getting a thunderstorm.an awesome sight indeed!
No images of this particular memory, but I can remember being in London in the fall of 1991 partying with some Icelanders at the hotel we were staying at. It was my last night in town, and it was two days after the Monsters of Rock Concert up at Donington Raceway. It was a lot of fun, and later they ran interference for me while I snuck out of the hotel to avoid a phone bill
.
I’ve had other fun experiences both domestically and internationally, but partying hard with other people from other places is just a great time to be had by all..
One of my biggest dissapointments in travelling in Europe in the 80′s was visiting The palace at Versaille, something I had been really looking forward to.
The day we went the Iranians posted a bomb threat and so all we could do was tour the grounds. Looked amazing through the windows.
