Vacation? Where are you going or want to go?

Queenstown in New Zealand is one of the best places in the world to visit! So much to do anytime of the year. Been all over the world and this is still my fav and it helps that is in my own country :-)

I'm going to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia next month! Excited!!

I'd say best place for a vacation is Germany, although my opinion is biased as I studied there for a few months last year so it's like a second home to me

I just got back from vacationing in England/Scotland and I'm from the western US. AMAZING! Especially as a group trip where everything was taken care of. I signed up through the local major university. It was $5000 but that included fine dining for every meal in nice restaurants, great hotels in the heart of the cities, a private coach for transportation, wonderful guides, and all tickets were covered to get into the sites. We also had 4 musical performances and a Shakespeare play that were Broadway quality to watch!

We did three days in London followed by staying in 6 other hotels going through by Stonehenge, major palaces/castles, Roman baths, Anne Hathaway's cottage, old churches, city tours, a Scottish celebration, and many other amazing places.

I recommend looking into your university's traveling department to see if they have anything you can go on. It's not a bunch of young students either. In fact, ours was all retired folks plus a couple 40 year olds so I was SUPER young compared. That's cool though if you can bring a friend! We had time to go venture out on the city in the evenings. Otherwise Globus is who our travel agency was that helped pull it altogether and they set up wonderful trips too.

My profile photo has Loch Ness in the background and the ticker is a palace I visited is Chatsworth House! AMAZING!!

Vermont. Pretty soon I will be living there and it will be like a permanent holiday :drinker:

We've got two holidays coming up.

Spending most of August camping around France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg and then spending Christmas in Marrakech.

This summer we have no big plans. But I think we're going to visit my father in law and his family at their holiday home if the weather is good. And maybe a weekend at a nice hotel. We're decorating our basement to make 2 more bedrooms and a den. So we have a lot of work to do this summer. I'm so looking forward to having more room and the two youngest won't have to share a bedroom anymore.

But in November we will go to Gran Canaria together with another family. It will be nice to have some sun and nice weather when it's cold and dark here in Norway.

Me n hubby are off to Disney, Orlando from the UK on Tuesday. I so can not wait to have a vacay. Last holiday was May last year 5 days to Euro Disney, Paris.

We went to Cuba the year before on what I thought was going to be a lifetime experience holiday and OMG it was!!! The worst holiday of my life it cost us more to get home as we left after 1 week of a 2 week holiday.

Well, you're talking about 2 completely different experiences here. Personally, I would not spend my hard-earned money on a Disney vacation of any kind. You pay a lot of money for something that's 100% artificial, no history (in the sense that it's not a site of historical interest), no quirks, carefully programmed. In Cuba you'll see poverty, dilapidated buildings, people who may not speak your language, even people who don't want you there (true of many destinations, of course). DH and I haven't been to Cuba- we're Americans and there are limited ways to visit legally- but we like vacations with quirks. We've run into bad service, beggars, sullen natives, bad weather, pickpockets, con artists- the whole gamut- and we love every vacation we've ever taken.

But, to answer your question: we just got back for a week in Paris. Loved it despite awful weather, crowds and long lines at the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay and nearly getting arrested for not keeping my stamped Metro ticket. (I was in the wrong and the transit police were very polite.)

Up for next year: an Alaskan cruise. We took this line last year; it was a 73-passenger ship, dreadfully expensive, tiny staterooms with no locks on the doors, up close and personal with nature, extreme activities for me, level hikes and kayaking for DH. We loved it so much we're going back.

Last month I took a trip to Aruba! Oh my goodness! Aruba is absolutely breathtaking! Had a wonderful time! The best beach I have ever been too! Wish I had the opportunity to get certified with diving while I was there. However, planning to already go next year and definitely dive!

Eagle Beach is gorgeous...sooo surreal!

Alaska! The beautiful snow top mountains and glacier ocean scene.... Or maybe just a cruise through would be nice too.. Ohhh! or Paris. Paris is nice, so I hear.

19 day/195 mile fall hike.
