I must say I have a good (ish) life so far (I am 26) but there are 2 specific periods where I had the most fun.
First one was when I was an F/A between 1999 and 2000. Unfortunately, I was not too much into aviation back then but I did have a great life even though it was an extremely demanding job. I probably would not fly again but its a period in my life that I will never ever forget....
Second one was when I was doing my internship in Geneva. I studied International Tourism and Hotel Management in Luzern and I had a 6 month obligatory internship. Because I studied French as a second language, my school decided to send me to an English Pub in Geneva called Mr. Pickwick (I was supposed to practice my French. Yeah right ). This was between December 2002 and June 2003. I had great colleagues, great customers, free drinks, food and looooooads of fun and I got paid for it (rather well I must say)
Those two periods were the best times of my life so far.... I am now stuck at a design hotel in Bodrum for the next 4 months.. 36 degrees outside and not so much fun I must say
What have been the best days of your lives so far?

Ok I am going to give it a go!
Harsh question though how can you you pick one over the other?
First one was probably at Uni between April and June 2002! Whilst we had lectures and all, the weather was just too amazing to care about them. Since we knew we wouldn't have any exams until next year we were just having fun. The world cup was on, my housemate had bought a little Peugeot 106 GTI, we were just living in a careless way.... Binge drinking, missing lectures, road trips (Brighton, Portsmouth Alton Towers to name a few) you name it all! At that time I also discovered the 2 best dance tunes ever! (From a group called Dee Dee 2 songs called Forever and The one)
Second one was a few weeks ago when I heard I got a place to do a Masters in Transport Economics! Amazing feeling it has always been my aim to do that degree! Furthermore more chances to have a career in transport world!
i had several friends that back in high school we talked about how "fun" it would be to become groupies and go out on the road and follow a band for a week, a day, however long, etc. etc. the summer of 1998 came and we decided to go for it. and off we went. we followed Stevie Nicks on her solo "Enchanted Tour" beginning in late May following it across the country (thank you moms & dads!) to early August. we got lawn seats almost every night to save money, one of our friends' dads works for a hotel chain so we got super cheap rooms across the country, most of us had restaurant jobs so we could use the "passport" program to pick up shifts as we made our way across the country. we caught every Stevie Nicks show and also saw a few others such as Lilith Fair, Horde Festival, Elton John, Jimmy Buffett, etc. it was a great trip and full of great memories and a great coming of age time for all of us, many of whom were in the exact same class from Kindergarten through 12th grade. two gals and i on the trip had every single class together in junior high and high school.
we had so much fun that we decided to have a "mini reunion" of sorts for her 2001 solo tour following her for the first three weeks of July 2001, and then we decided to pick up for more shows in the summer of 2003 and summer of 2004 on the Fleetwood Mac tours.
what was neat is that between 1998 and 2001 and 2003 and 2004, all of us had so many adventures and stories to tell about our respective lives, time at college, etc.
we all got together for a few shows last year on the Stevie Nicks and Stevie Nicks and Don Henley tours, but it wasn't the same. since this time we were doing just one show and not forty five or so. and everyone's heading home back to their husbands, wives, and in some cases, kids.
aieeeeee!!!! my how times change!

My 8th grade school year. Man, that was the most fun I have ever had, then saying goodbye to alot of people killed it somewhat at the end. Meeting up with a bunch of friends from school that I hadn't seen in more than a year last week has to be up there in the best days of my life list.

I travelled the world for a year after college; that was definitely the best year of my life. I saw so many crazy stuff, and did so many cool things, and met so many great people, on of which subsequently became my wife several years later.
Great days.
I also enjoyed my last couple of months living in Edinburgh. I miss that city.

Probably the two days I was in London for the a.net LHR meet. I have never met more nice and cool people. I've never had more fun.

Any day that I will get to perform on is a great day. I can have the worst day(losing my dog and grandfather within three hours of each other), and barely get through the day, but once I put on my tap shoes and get up on that stage, everyone else in my life gets shelved for a couple of hours. And to put the icing on the cake, during intermission or after a show, seeing all the little kids run down to look inside the orchestra pit, or come up and give me a tug on my shirt and whisper a "Good job" in my ear makes the evening that much better.

From the outside-looking-in, I have a pretty good life. I'm not the dumbest person I know, nor am I the ugliest. I have a good job and I am so truly blessed to have the incredible friends I do. I also know how to have a good time!
I have liked different points in my life for different reasons, but I really must say that I was most truly happy from September 1993 to April 30, 1997 --- my four years at university. I lived on campus for the first year, and never more than a block away from the school at any point afterwards. My school was a small, but high regarded place of higher learning, and I met some of the most brilliant, exciting, caring and fun people there. I wish I had known then how great I had it at the time, surrounded by such incredible people. Each day was better than the last. I really did take most of it for granted at the time and I was so sad to say good-bye to that era.
That being said, life is good today also. Sure I've got my worries and issues like anyone else, but I can proudly say I've no regrets so far.
Remember - life is what you make it. You are only person who can control your destiny and the outcome of your life. You are entirely responsible for your decisions and actions, and the manner in which you handle events in your life.
