    I am from Boston and I am going to New Orleans tomorrow for a quick 4-day trip with 5 of my best girlfriends from college! We are SO excited, even though it will probably be hot as hell!

    In April I went to Isla Mujeres (small island off of Cancun, Mexico coast) and it was amazing. Everyone drives golf carts/mopeds around the island and there were so many good restaurants/bars and amazing beaches. We rented a house with another couple and it was definitely much more fun than staying at a resort.

    My favorite vacation was Germany/Switzerland though! I went in 2007 with the same girls I am going to New Orleans with and it was the best 10 days of my life. I really hope I can explore more of Europe someday. It is breathtaking.

    I'm travelling around Europe for 4 months next year! It's only been recently decided, and I'd absolutely love to see Italy and Greece. Has anyone got any suggestions of places I MUST see when there!?

    My favourites have been Oslo, Venice, Lisbon, Iceland, Nice, Berlin (well, and London but I live there so not sure it counts :P). I personally hated Greece but only went to Athens (which was scary IMO) but I think the islands would be better :)

    In a couple of weeks we are taking a summer Euro-trip: Prague-Bratislava-Budapest-Zagreb-Dubrovnik-Montenegro. All in 10 days but we like to be busy on holiday!

    Later in the year, I hope to go to either Canada, South America or Japan but we'll see :)

    Venice is a definite must-see :) And Lisbon looks lovely! I'm actually writing all these down haha. Yeah, I'm hoping to visit the Greek Islands :) We're aiming for Oia or Mykonos at the moment!

    Rome. There's absolutely nothing quite like it. I was there for NYE and fell in love with it. Maybe even more so than Paris.

    Venice is a good place to see for a few days. Be sure to get off the beaten tourist path though or it will drive you crazy. It's hard to avoid tourists traps but, for good food, try the Cicchetti bars. I really liked Cantinone Gia' Schiavi for a quick snack and a glass of wine. There's no seating. You grab your snack and your wine and find a place to stand outside. For a nice, local dinner there's a restaurant called La Zucca. Everything is really fresh and they have a pumpkin flan to die for. I spent a week in Venice and wrote up a ton of review. PM me if you are interested - Ill send you my Trip Advisor page.

    OH! And for the second poster, Budapest is awesome. A sad history, but a lovely people and a fascinating city. I can't wait to go back.

    In less than 4 weeks we are going on a 2 week cruise of the Norwegian Ffiords/Iceland and the Faroe Islands....cannot wait yippee :-D
    oh and I could mention all the places we've been before but it would be a long one lol

    I feel truly blessed to have our boys rared and now hubby and I can vacation 3 times a year and we're only in our 40's, thats why having family young is fab lol :-D

    I disagree. We started our family in our thirties and it means that we can take our kids along and share the cool places with them. I mean, the Peruvian Amazon is always cool, but so much cooler with an eight year old with you to ooh at the army ants and ahh at the great otters. Likewise the UK with a 12 year old who knows more about the Tudors than David Starkey.

    I'm going to Seattle in August for a cousins wedding, but my big vacation plans are not until April 2014. My friend and I both turn 40 next year and are planning a trip to Puerto Rico to celebrate the milestone!!!

    I wouldn't mind taking another cruise again in the near future. Just came back from a 5 day cruise with Royal Caribbean to Cozumel and Grand Cayman and it was a blast!

    In 22 days I am getting in my car, along with my husband and my two children and we're going on a week long road trip. Making our way from home to Chicago and then from Chicago, we're getting on the old Route 66 and taking it as far as we can go in 4 days and then we'll turn around and head back. No hotel reservations, no destination plans....just a get-in-the-car-and-go trip. I can't wait! With my husband being a truck driver, he is never home for more than 2 days at a time......and I'm going to have an entire week with him. I could end up in the middle of nowhere and wouldn't give a rats *kitten* as long as I'm with him!!!!!

    My vacations aren't too glamorous, but usually involve a bike event of some kind. I'm ok with that!

    No 'real vacation' this year. We will be going to a large gaming convention this month. It's an hour drive, we will only spend the night one night, the other two nights we will drive back and forth.
    It's kind of a "stay-cation"

    I'm leaving for Italy on Friday. Flying into Florence and then renting a car and exploring Tuscany!! It's a girls trip! I'm so excited.

    Best vacation ever?......Hard to say. Paris in 2004 was pretty amazing. Ft Walton Beach Florida in 2010 was pretty great too!

    Loved Costa Rica in 2011. Anyplace with a great beach is always top of my list.

    I would love to go ona big vacation, but it's just not in the cards. I have 2 young kids and a husband with very little vacation time from work. So on the weekends, the kids and had, and hubby when he's off, will go around our great state of Wisconsin and see what we have to offer here. Maybe when the kids are older we'll do something bigger. I would love to see Europe...and the UK. Some day!
