I RECOMMEND KUMANO Kazumi Naito I have traveled abroad many times. I mostly go to beaches such as St. Martin, Anguilla and Cancun. I like South America too. Argentina tango was really moving. Iguazu Falls were spectacular. My favorite holiday destination is anywhere which I and my family can relax and make wonderful memories. Now my son wants to go to Disneyworld and Universal studios. But, if I recommend a place to my friend, I will suggest you should go to KUMANO in Japan. Kumano is an isolated sacred site of healing and salvation and beautiful place which you have never seen before. I usually travel with my husband and son. In the future, I want to take my son to Cancun because there are beautiful blue skies and sea, colorful colonial styled buildings and unique entertainment. But, my son will enjoy a Disney cruise much more!
GERMANY, BELGIUM, AND IRELAND Christine M. Melone I love to travel and I have had the amazing good fortune to travel abroad many times. Most recently, in 2016 I traveled to Germany, Belgium and Ireland for the Christmas holidays to visit and enjoy the Christmas Markets. I traveled with my son, Stefan and his wife, Mellany. We flew first to Frankfurt, Germany and then to Cologne, Germany. We took a train from Frankfort to Cologne but were confused at the station because we were looking for “Cologne” but the spelling in Germany is “Koln”. We laughed about this but it is just one of the challenges of being a tourist. We also took a train to Brussels, Belgium and a train to Bruges, Belgium. In both cities, we stayed at an Airbnb. This was a new experience for me and it worked out perfectly. One was an apartment above an antique store in the heart of Brussels and the other a house in Bruges so we could make a Christmas dinner. We then flew to Dublin and visited the Christmas Markets and the Guinness Brewery.
