Where was the last place you went on vacation?

Funny you mention. Did a 'jeep eater' tour (in a Humvee), and were driven to a vortex area. There was clearly something there, as all of us felt some sort of 'force'. Most people move to Sedona for 'red rock fever', though, not the vortexes. Maybe expound on, Fungo?

Wanted to retire in Flagstaff, there's a golf community. Kept up on what's for sale, but chilled out when said that the least priced (!) was $750,000 (for a three bedroom condo). That killed that one. Three Thanksgivings ago, wife, daughter and I met up with wife's sister and husband for the week in Sedona. Great time there, and took trip to Jerome. 120% touristy, parking at a premium, all sorts of shops to spend you money in. Had lunch in a converted insane asylum. Very nice people, but (to me at least), the vibe was a bit creepy. Old pictures on the walls etc. Gotta go to Prescott sometime, as golfing buddy resides there now. Hey, will travel for golf!

Prescott used to be a cowboy town but the weirdos have infiltrated there too. Still a beautiful place. My favorite way to get there from the north is from the back road that goes through Jerome. Beautiful drive. I get what you say about Jerome. It's an interesting place but yes, the same weirdos that have infested all of the other cool places have dug in there too. I would suggest Oatman if you're ever in western AZ. My dad spent the last 40 years of his life down the hill along the river.

Western AZ is really under rated. Quality living, spent my high school years there

Wife, daughter and I did a golfing cruise to Australia and New Zealand, this year. Airfare cost more than the cruise, however. Did the reclining seats (only way to on a 19 hour flight). Loved Melbourne, great town, wine area of AU. Sydney, nice, but too crowded for my taste. Played golf in Sydney, as well as five more times in NZ. NZ is different. Came up from the South, and worked our way up the coast. Bigger than thought, way more islands than the maps show (Croatia cruise, more islands than on maps). South to North, goes from rustic to sophisticated, to Aukland. Golf courses got nicer as well. Family wanted me to get a quarter zip to commemorate trip, but balked at paying $520 (NZ) or $250 for golf shirt. Finally got one, on sale rack. Aukland is neat place to go, with some great seafood down at their marina. PS, this was a one-time trip, as not a very cost effective vacation for what we got out of it. Crested Butte is terrific, skiing is great. If was smarter, would have gone to college there, as outdoorsy stuff is marvelous. Wife's family has lodge on Crystal Creek, (in close proximity), but we go south, through Montrose to Ouray, where spend a day at the hot springs. Area has grown because of Covid, and they stay. Spent honeymoon (36 years ago) in Telluride, which is the 'new' Aspen. Great places all. Will be back there in August. Colorado is the land of the $500 auto, and $5,000 bicycle.
