What are the best vacation destinations you have been to? Hawaii? Disney world? Outer Hebrides ? What’s your preference?
 
Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My sisters, my niece, and my nephew went there with my mom a few days ago. I couldn’t go because I’m sick. (We CAN travel here, but that’s not why my family went up there. There were going to be near the mountains, anyway)

I’ll second the Great Smokies. I’ve been there several times. And it’s within a (long) day’s drive.

I also very much enjoyed my trip to Arizona in 2009, one of my best vacations. I stayed in Sedona and also made a day trip to the Grand Canyon.
 
Kauai (HI), Cabo San Lucas (Mexico), Tuscany (Italy) , Sedona (AZ), Paris (France) are my top five, not particularly in that order…we used to visit Kauai and Sedona every year, and never visit Europe without at least 3 days in Paris.
 
Krakow, Poland
Vienna, Austria
Santa Fe, NM
Bar Harbor, Maine
various cities in Arizona
 
I want to go to southern Mesopotamia becuse its the closest i will ever get to the Garden of Eden, sure its gone and even if it was still there i would not be allowed but standing in the same place that GOD HIMSELF STOOD give me the chills.
 
Hands down, Japan.

Loved riding on the Shinkansen and walking through the streets of Tokyo.

The food was really good and so plentiful. Talk about humongous portion sizes.

Had a lot of fun learning to speak and read Japanese.

I will share that I am hoping to take a trip for my 50th birthday in October. I booked a timeshare exchange in Upstate New York for a week. I made a point of staying away from the big cities.
 
For something closer to home, Mackinac island would be it.

I like the fact that no cars are allowed.
 
My favorite destination at any time of year is one I can go to at anytime; the farm where my wife grew up and where her parents still live. It’s a two hour drive. Apart from that I have no travel destinations I wish to see again. I’ve seen Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, been to Disneyland, Mount Rushmore, and skied in the Alberta Rockies. Those places were ok, but I’ve seen them once and have no need to go back. The farm, however, has never lost it’s beauty or it’s charm (provided I don’t have to see too much of my father in law).

We have a fifth wheel travel trailer and like these places best:

Ouray, Colorado…the mountains are unbelievable!
The Million Dollar Highway…south of Ouray…for only the brave!
Pike’s Peak in Colorado
Newport, Oregon…the best Clam Chowder!
Crescent City, California…the sand on the beach is black!
Alaska…a paradise!
 
Italy was and is my favorite, but this weekend my wife and I did a socially distanced road trip and visited some historic churches here in Kansas. We limited it to small rural churches of historic significance to the area. (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.) (Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

I’m with you on this one. The architecture and all the art would be enough. I think I could live there for a while.
 
I’m envious of my sister. She lives in Oregon 17 miles west of Portland. One hour to the beach, one hour to the mountains. I could live the rest of my life in Astoria.

Now that you mention it…

I’m from Montana and I used to think I could spend all my vacations there, but my wife is from Oregon and over the years I’ve fallen in love with the Oregon coast.

More than that, somehow my wife and I managed to buy a funky little condo in a funky little seaside town last year. So, I haven’t just been wanting to vacation there, I’ve been wanting to spend rest of my life there. It’s been really tough not being able to our annual trip to Oregon, but my in-laws are in Portland and they’ve managed to stay there a few times so, that makes me feel better.

At any rate, here’s a photo from our deck at the end of Christmas Day last year. That was the last time I saw it daylight.
