Best Vacation Spots

[AZ Fins Fan 55]

My favorite vacation spot....and lord knows I am always travelling....is Alaska. I took a 7 day cruise there and had the absolute time of my life. Besides the fact that it was 119 degrees here when I left and 64 degrees there when I got there I love the outdoors and Alaska is some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. We are planning another big trip there soon where we will fly in Anchorage and take a 3 day trek down through Denali National Park and then catch a cruise ship for the remainder of the inside passage back to Seattle. I can not wait for this trip. If anyone has an opportunity to go it comes highly recommended from this guy!!!!!

Carolina Beach NC- went on vacation here every year for a week or 2 since the age of 4. I loved it so much I moved here.

Well, considreing I live in the Vacation Capital of the World, I'd have to say Orlando is the best. But then again, I'm a stickler for theme parks.

Cruise.  It doesn't matter to where. Cruises rock!!

OH HELL YEAH!!  Ever since my first one a few years back, I've been hooked.

When I was 6, I went on a vacation to Charleston, SC. Stayed there 16 years. What can I say? It's got some sort of hold over me, and has some sort of hold over everyone who goes there.

This is what I see every day in the summer:

This is the Sullivan's Island Lighthouse, which I can walk to:

This is the (draw)bridge, which I usually try to run across at sunset:

I went to Alaska.  It's pretty dope.

If you do go on a cruise, try to get as far away from any of that kind of "scripted stuff" when you get off the boat.  There's some really cool stuff if you go look for it.  There's also some really touristy shit.

Alaska is truly what I consider our last frontier, it even comes with old time hustlers and criminals from what I understand.

I really want to see the Grand Canyon. I want to stand at the top and look down and also get in a boat and look up. I have a feeling looking up would be more intimidating.

I would like to travel to Peru this year.  My dream vacation (besides Alaska) would be New Zealand.

I have never been on a cruise that lasts longer than a day. I do want to go on one soon.

In terms of hiking, I recently went on a 10 mile, 3 day, 2 night hike through the Ocala National Forest.  Its truly amazing. 

If you all want to do a hiking trip, let me know.

I would love to visit Machu Picchu.

Cruises aren't the BEST experiences.  Everything is planned and you follow a pretty beaten path.  However, it's easy.  You know where you're going to eat every night, you feel safe all the time, you can go with a variety of people of varying ages and all will be fairly entertained.

And these are all good things -- don't get me wrong, I love cruises.  But, for two people, I bet you can find something a little more unique and intimate, that's specifically tailored to your tastes.

I would love to visit Machu Picchu.

That is what I would like to visit. I would like to hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu through the Andes. It is like a 40mile, 3-4 day hike. Supposed to be gorgeous.

My mother-in-law is planning to go there this year.
