Maybe we’re biased because we live here, but Australia has a lot of bests - world bests, that is. It has some of the best natural scenery, the weirdest wildlife, the most brilliant scuba diving and snorkeling, the best beaches, the oldest rainforest (110 million years and counting), the oldest human civilization (some archaeologists say 40,000 years, some say 120,000; whatever- it’s old), the best wines, the best weather (give or take the odd Wet season in the north), the most innovative East-meets-West-meets-someplace-else cuisine - all bathed in sunlight that brings everything up in Technicolor.

Atlanta is a city constantly reinventing itself, from reigning as the nation’s conventions capital, to hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games, to emerging as one of the hottest new vacation spots in the South. Today, visitors to this fine city are greeted by a new landmark structure: the Millennium Gate. Though it didn’t rise into the sky until several years after the turn of the new century, the city’s 73-foot-tall Millennium Gate was constructed in honor of Atlanta’s many philanthropic families.

Athens may have the Parthenon, that most exquisite symbol of achievement, but this free, anarchic city is more than just a monumental collection of 5th-century-B.C. landmarks. Beside the ancient sites in the compact, historic center lie pedestrian walkways lined with modern bars, cafes, and tavernas, where the food is piled high, the barrel wine flows freely, and the patrons are animated. Kicking dance clubs and luxurious post-Olympic hotels down scenic streets are only a short walk away. And then there’s the shopping, from the latest shoes to classical craftsmanship.

So many islands, so little time. With all the tropical paradises you could visit, why would you pick Aruba for your Caribbean vacation? Well, there’s the reliably near-perfect weather. If you have only a week away from the job, why not guarantee yourself 7 days of ideal tanning conditions - unwaveringly sunny skies, warm temperatures, and cooling breezes. And because the island’s more of a desert than a rainforest, the humidity’s low and it hardly ever rains. Hurricanes? Schmurricanes. There’s rarely one within hundreds of miles. Aruba is far south of the tropical-storm belt.

Despite the sluggish economy and general reluctance on the part of many people to travel, Arizona has remained a very popular vacation destination. Sure there have been the inevitable closings, but the state has also bucked economic trends by opening three huge new mega-resorts in the Phoenix area.

So many of my favorite moments in Amsterdam are outdoors. Even in midwinter this city bustles with an infectious energy on its narrow streets, long canals, and many humpbacked bridges. Whichever time you choose to visit, you’ll be struck, I’m sure, by how lively and bright this city really is. Here are some of my favorite moments, both outdoors and indoors, that have placed Amsterdam so close to my heart.
