Your Favorite Vacations

The most recent would have to be Cabo.

We stayed in the Presidential suite which had the best view ever! I snorkeled for the first time, which was quite a sight to see until I got the hang of it. I drank Corona's and margarita's and ate good food, got a foot massage, a body massage and a facial, went shopping, laid in the sun, drank Corona's and Margarita's, (Oh wait, I already said that :) and various other things along the way.

I went with my boyfriend and his family!

Two years ago I did a hiking tour of the foothills of the French Alps. Each day we hiked across the French countryside and each night we stayed in a small inn nestled in a small village. The people were friendly and open, but the biggest bonus is that after hiking there, I could eat anything I wanted for dinner and still lost pounds on the vacation!

Italy with my family in 2000.

It was just 5 days, but we saw all the sights (they were all cleaned up with no scaffolds) and they were all open because it was the millenial year. We walked into St. Peter's through the jubilee door... it's only open for one year every so many years (7 or 50 ?). We took in Rome, the Vatican City and rode a bullet train to Florence . All this during the Carnivale holiday.(March) when it was cool weather and very un-crowded.

Just a totally awesomne time!

Either Nashville, TN or Hot Springs, ARK.

Costa Rica.
The best part was staying in a jungle cabina that was 500' above the Pacific with the jungle in back. The best of both worlds. We had an outdoor shower that looked out to sea and a hammock on the front porch. I could lay there and hear the crashing surf and see dolhpins and boats. I looked out on a tree ablaze with yellow blooms that were swarming with butterflies and hummingbirds. At any given moment, a troop of monkeys could swing by the cabina. Oh, and scarlet macaws perched in the trees around us.
I told my husband I could have stayed in that hammock the rest of my life.
And the food.............. !!!!
Heaven on earth.

Wow talk about cool vacations...

From Corona's on the beach to monkey's in the trees to railroading across Europe...

African safari's and Nashville hits (i've been there- wonderful) ... great stuff!


thanks for posting these great travel experiences.

Andy- I've always wanted to hike in the Alps. I might get that chance in 2009. We're planning a trip to Europe for our 25th anniversary and will try to get a day in the Swiss Alps.

In the year of 1979 on June 27 we took off and
headed for Saco, Maine all mapped out too!
This was my one and only vacation! I took my son
Bill, daughter Michelle, niece Patti Ann, our friend
Annette. Packed up the station wagon and left
at 1:00 in the morning to beat the traffic and the
heat! We went to Saco, Maine and Old Orchard
Beach. We arrived at 7ish and Pandora Buttons
cottages office opened at 7:30. And we were in
luck as she had on cottage left! She asked me if
all these children were mine I said yes. She gave
me a huge discount because we all had sleeping
bags, pillows and such, and wouldn't be using the
linens or towels. We drove down to the beach on
the first day but walked the rest of the time cause
it cost to much to park and I was trying to save as
the kids wanted to go to the amusement parks. It
was quite a blast too, all the rides were crazy and
fast! When we went in, there was a booth where I
got a roll of tickets for a reasonable price and the
kids went on all the rides and talked me into going
on one with them! The Silver Streak! And it sure did
streak. We stayed for the day, I packed a lunch and
drinks for the day. We did have fried bread dough at
the park it was delish! This was at Saco Beach. Then
we went to Old Orchard Beach and had a blast there.
We were up bright and early down to the beach daily.
The last night we were there it was the 4th of July and
the fireworks on the beach were fantstic! For two hrs.
the most beautiful array and the reflection on the ocean
made it that much more grandeur!! We made new friends
while we were there, my Momma and her sister were there
also so we had it all! What a great time we all had and I
worked hard and saved money for that vacation and it was
worth it! I'll remember this for ever, such fun with all those
kids and never was there a harsh word said.
There you have it Matt!

My favorite vacation was with my entire extended family driving to Colorado. The sights on the way were so gorgeous.and the sights just kept getting better as we drove.

Oh my Lord, I have to do that Costa Rica trip!

San Jose, Costa Rica - to have Plastic Surgery - 3 times!
Plus we went to the Ocean, on a coffee plantation tour, rainforest, and more while we were there!

I love road trips, so I have 2 favorites from my adult life, many as a child. The first would be when my husband came down to Texas to pick me up from a summer program I was doing. From Texas we drove to Florida to see my dad, and sister, and stayed at Daytona Beach for a night, beautiful! Then we headed back out on the road up to the Outer Banks in North Carolina where we camped for 2 nights. It was gorgeous, can't wait to go back. Camped basically on the beach with the sounds of the waves crashing on shore to lull us to sleep. Then we headed home to NY... it was a great trip.

The other would be another trip my husband and I took when living in Colorado. We drove to Texas to visit family and then spent a few days on the road driving through New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and back to Colorado. We made many stops along the way including a 2 night camping trip at the Grand Canyon! It was marvelous.

We hope one of our next trips will also be to Costa Rica!

That Costa Rica trip really sounds great.

My favorite was Washington DC when I went to conference with my husband in 2003. I was only a few weeks pregnant and we had a blast there.

My favorite was going to DC for a show with the 1910 FruitGum Company when I was 18( no, not the all original. group. The remaining guys, plus a few extra who did the night club tours in the 70's). My boyfriend was one of the members and I ran the lights during one of the shows in a real swanky hotel right on the river. When the guys were giving out autographs after the show someone even asked for mine. I tried to demur, but the guys insisted. I didn't stay long, but it will always be one of my favorite memories no matter how old I get.

I love hearing the more exotic ones, those are going to be fun in a few years ;o)
