    A great place to go that is just magical is called Tupelo Gum Pond in Missouri, USA. It is one of the most remote places and very hard to get to without a 4-wheel-drive.

  2. jessiev Says:

    sooo very beautiful – excellent places to showcase!

  3. Katherine Says:

    Having just returned from two weeks in Portugal, I’d totally add Sintra to this list.

    Some incredible places and beautiful pictures. I agree with Katherines comments about Sintra in Portugal, it is out of this world.

  22. Vincent Says:

    Fort Myers and Naples Beaches are very beautiful. Nothing is more inspiring than the sunsets over playful dolphins. Even an excursion into the everglades would be amazing. And lets not forget the sport fishing, need I say more?
