Where Are 5 Places You Want To Go Before You Die?
February 12, 2010
5. Palau
Take a long look at that picture and tell me you wouldn’t want to be there right now. Aside from a season of Survivor, Palau remains mostly paradise on Earth. There’s an interesting phenomenon in Palau known as Jellyfish Lake. The lake, once open to the ocean, closed up allowing for an amazing reproduction of Jellyfish. On the flip side, the lake has a layer of hydrogen sulfide beneath the surface which, after coming into contact with, would make someone’s day pretty horrible.
4. Devil’s Hopyard, United States
The Devil’s Hopyard may not be as outstanding as Santorini, or Palau, but the legends it’s created are pretty interesting. (Cue Puritanical mythology via Curbstone) Of all the places in Connecticut bearing the Devil’s name, the one with the greatest variety of legendary etymologies is the 860-acre state park in East Haddam known as the Devil’s Hopyard. Here, the combination of booming Chapman’s Falls, pothole-scarred rocks, the unearthly quiet in the dark glen below the falls and the steep, cave-pocked cliffs flanking turbulent Eight Mile River makes a likely setting for the growth and development of legends. Then, too, the “hellish” appearance of the Hopyard’s gorge was probably enhanced for the early English settlers by local Indian tribes, which are said to have used Devil’s Hopyard for religious rites and powwows. It probably wouldn’t have taken much to convince those devout Puritans that the Indians they saw dancing around a midnight campfire were really evil demons paying their respects to the Head Man.
The most widely-circulated legend tells of the many times Satan has been seen, sitting on a huge boulder at the top of Chapman’s Falls, playing his violin while the evil witches of Haddam stirred a “hell broth for a charm of powerful trouble” in the cauldron-like potholes formed in the rocks below. Another story reports that a lone traveler, while walking through the Hopyard one night, saw some weird, shapeless forms leaping from ledges and trees near the falls. Later, these phantoms accosted the terrified man, who then beat a hasty retreat to the nearest tavern, where he related his experience to anyone who would listen. Some say that the traveler had spent too much time at the tavern before he took his ramble through the Hopyard.
Another tale focuses on the potholes near the falls, which are some of the finest examples of pothole stone formations in this section of the country. Perfectly cylindrical, they range from inches to several feet in diameter and depth. These potholes were formed by stones moved downstream by the current and trapped in an eddy where the stone was spun around and around, wearing a depression in the rock. When the rock wore itself down, another would catch in the same hole and enlarge it. We know this now, but to the early settlers the potholes were a great mystery that they tried to explain with references to the supernatural. They thought that the Devil has passed by the falls, accidentally getting his tail wet. This made him so mad he burned holes in the stones with his hooves as he bounded away. And that’s probably more than you wanted to know about a small state park in Connecticut.
3. Meteora, Greece
Sandstone pinnacles rising hundreds of feet straight into the air, capped off by 16th century Greek Orthadox monasteries? Is that something you might be looking for? Such a place exists, and it’s called Meteora. (Not to be confused with the Linkin Park album, which as far as I’m aware, has nothing to do with monasteries or sandstone … or Greece.)
2. Seychelles
I had a teacher in high school tell me the most beautiful place on Earth was a tiny archipelago nation called the Seychelles. I’d never heard of it. It took the development of the internet (yes, I’m that old) to read about such a place. And since then, I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. White sand beaches. Crystal blue water. Warm ocean breezes. This is paradise defined. Of course, getting there is nothing short of being obscenely expensive. So, if you’d like to fund my trip, please e-mail the YesButNoButYes and put “Funding Echowood’s Trip” in the subject line.
Stromboli, Italy
I thought Stromboli was an Italian food similar to a calzone. It took a book to enlighten me to the error. Stromboli is a very active volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The thing is, people live on it. Imagine falling asleep to the gentle hum of liquid magma pouring out of the crater a few hundred feet from your house. Need to relax? Head to the Sciara del Fuoco, and watch as car-size molten boulders crash into the sea.
also the top coolest places on earth! hehe…there all so beautiful!

U have contracted a RARE LETHAL virus. Fortunately it is not transmissible, but doctor has informed u have 24 hrs to live. Here’s the problem – ur family, ur best friend who u grew up w/, and ur lover live on 3 different continents so u can only see one. There is NO way of them being able to all meet up in one place at such a short notice. The doctor says there is a 10% chance they might find a cure w/in next 24 hrs if u stay in hospital, but he’s doubtful. What to do?
a) Talk to best friend & lover on phone while u fly to see family. Most likely die in family’s arms
b) Talk to family & lover on phone while u fly to see ur best friend. Most likely die in best friend’s arms
c) Talk to family & best friend on phone while u fly to see ur lover. Most likely die in lover’s arms
d) Stay in the hospital, talk to ur fam, ur best friend, & ur lover on phone. Pray for doubtful cure
