What is the best or worst travel experience you have had??

I had a camera stolen once in Cancun, Mexico :/ but later returned thankfully!

I have two bests.

The first time I visited The Forbidden City was magical. I had been studying it's history for over 20 years before I finally got to see it. I was there every day, open to close, for over a week. What a fabulous experience. I have been there 54 times and still want to go back. I can never get enough.

The other was in the MET in New York. I spent the day there. I was walking through the Egyptian exhibition and walked into the room with the Temple of Dendur. The sun just shot into the room in beams as though somebody flipped a switch. The room was empty and silent. The only sound I could hear was the water in the pond there. It was an almost religious experience. I went back later and the feeling was totally different. I'll never forget the feeling.
