I feel like everyone loves some good vacation talk.

Where is your next trip? Don't have one planned at the moment, possibly Wildwood NJ in fall!

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? Greece/ Greek islands- the food and scenery. Iceland- the seafood and awesome natural features and landscape were like another planet. Japan- Tokyo was so vibrant and happening and the people were so friendly. Kyoto was so serene and old world traditional. Sedona, AZ- the red rocks are stunning and the local artsy vibe. Cape Cod- my grandparents live there so I have the best memories from their house.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Prague, Paris (I want all the cheese!), Australia, Almafi Coast Italy

Where is your next trip? 
Savannah and Hilton Head next month for my 40th.

Salzburg - So beautiful and quaint.
1000 Islands - Water, trees, boats, sun. Perfection.

Where are some places that you are dying to go?

Where is your next trip?  Right now, its India in November.  H and I are trying to do a Mexico trip before that but we will see.

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? I love Denmark (where my family is from), Scotland for the romance, Egypt for the history, Italy (especially Florence) for the art and Agra, India (Taj Mahal) was really impressive.  Closer by, Ixtapa Mexico is like my little travel secret.  Its just a beautiful place and not supper touristy. 

Where are some places that you are dying to go? I would love to go to Bora Bora, the Maldives, Vietnam, and Hawaii.  And Ixtapa again any day of the week.  I've also never been to New Orleans so that would be a fun trip.

Where is your next trip? Texas in October for my cousin's wedding. We are staying in Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels. 

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? Bermuda was beautiful! I did a cruise there and I am dying to do it again, for the pink sand beaches and clear water. Both BF and I want to go back to Vegas, however we only ever go to Vegas or FL so we want to switch it up before we go back. Vegas is so fun and there is so much to do so you never get bored. And of course, Disney.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? I want to do a tour of California, Bora bora, Mexico, Rome, and Egypt.

Where is your next trip? Minneapolis to surprise my family with BF for Thanksgiving! I haven't seen them in 5 years so it's gonna be HUGE. I am TRYING to convince BF that instead of presents for our anniversary this year we should spend a weekend in Boston. I've never been there, our anniversary is in September and my boss said I can request off any weekend except the first one so I am REALLY trying, but he's not budging yet lol.

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? Portland, Maine! I love that place, BF and I went last summer for a few days and it was BEAUTIFUL and I never wanted to leave. Also the Outer Banks, NC. I love it there, I grew up in an area similar to it, and those gigantic houses are gorgeous! I'd never find one like that where I am living now. BF and I might move there someday.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? I want to visit Peru and Mexico to see the ruins!!! And I would love to visit Israel, Tuscany, Greece and Rome. Just need to get my passport first lol.

YES!

@cu97tiger I had to look up 1000 Islands- that looks so nice!!

@minskat30 Ooo I've been to Cancun but I'll have to look into Ixtapa

@caseface5 heck yes to Vegas, I don't drink or gamble and I still have a blast there

@untouchablets That surprise trip is going to be amazing! And the ruins are definitely worth it, I loved them in both those spots.

Where is your next trip? I don't know yet I want to plan a mini get away for the fall I mentioned Boston and H wasn't too keen on the idea, I don't know why. 

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there?  I love, love, love Paris.  I miss it there desperately.  I love being able to speak French.  I love the people, the sights, the food.  It really is this weird kind of longing I can't explain.  I also need to get H to Italy at some point.

Where are some places that you are dying to go?  I'd love to go to Tahiti/Bora, Bora.  I would also like to get to Ireland and Munich.  I would also like to see Costa Rica. 

GoldenPenguin

Where is your next trip?  Dominican Republic for Thanksgiving with H's family. We'll go to Maine at some point this summer, but that's home for me, so I don't really count is as a "trip."

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? Aruba. I was so glad when H immediately agreed that we could go there on our honeymoon. That's also currently the only place I've ever been, so...

I love everything about Aruba. The weather is perfect; the people are SO nice; it's safe; there's tons to do - but you can also just lay on the beach and do nothing; the food is fantastic and there are so many amazing restaurants; I could go on & on.  

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Colorado - that's where H & I are planning to do a vacation sometime soon. Atlanta - because I have several friends there who I need to see. British Columbia - I'm dying to go to Vancouver and Banff. Scotland & Ireland. I also really want to go to Dubai someday.

I love that I've been to 2 out of three of @cu97tiger's favorite places! And next week I'm finally visiting the third - 1000 Islands!!! I hope I love it just as much as she does. PS Munich and Salzburg ARE amazing - even in downpouring rain!

Where is your next trip? Niagara Falls, Toronto, Thousand Islands, Albany, and Finger Lakes next week!!!!! Then in September we are visiting H's parents in Indiana for Labor Day/his mom's 50th birthday and then in October we're heading to South Dakota for a family reunion in the Black Hills and pheasant hunting.

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? Everything @cu97tiger listed. We spent most of our HM in Munich and it was absolutely incredibly. I desperately want to go back and I'm angling for a 2016 trip. We also visited a few other towns in the Bavarian region in Germany and visited Salzburg, Austria. I think I definitely want to dedicate more time to Austria next time we go back. A day trip to Salzburg was nowhere near enough! Also I LOVE California - especially the wine region and Monterey. It's so gorgeous and the weather is perfect.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Back to Germany and Austria for sure. Ireland. We're planning a 2018 trip to Norway and Sweden and that's going to be fucking amazing!!!

I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!!!

I also forgot Norway & Sweden!! H & I both really want to go there too!

jenna8984

@peaseblossom55 I will go to Paris with you please since I don't know any French haha. (I took Spanish in high school).

@goldenpenguin I really want to go to Banff too!

@labro Didn't you say at one time that you were born in Germany?That is so cool, I've only heard great things about it. I used to be not interested in going there but everyone says I need to. Norway & Sweden are fantastic. I only had one day in each on a cruise but spending more time there would be a dream for sure.

Where is your next trip? Our next mini trips are to Kerrville, TX to print our invitations and Beaumont, TX for FMIL's grad school graduation. Big trip is our honeymoon November 1-11 in Orlando.

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? I loved Switzerland and Italy! They were beautiful, historical, and so full of culture. I would love to go back. I also loved Hawaii and was sad I wasn't able to go with my family earlier this month. Hawaii = paradise. More recently, I really enjoyed San Francisco. It was a beautiful city with fantastic weather, and FI and I still toy with the idea of moving out there. Our daily question when one or both of us is outside in the 100-degree heat is, "Why don't we live in SF?"

Where are some places that you are dying to go? UK, Paris, Spain, Napa, Alaska, Prague

When is your next trip? Technically we are going up north this weekend to my dad's cabin. We may be going up to Interlochen next weekend to visit BF's parents. But the trip we are looking forward to is Las Vegas the first week of September. It was my birthday gift to him this year.

Where are some of your favorite places/destinations? Why did you love it there? I love going to Vegas. It is so much fun to eat, go to shows, and walk around looking at things. Toronto is another favorite place of mine that we go often. Orlando and New Orleans are great. The Florida Keys are fun too. I've also been to Okinawa Japan, Taipei Taiwan, Sydney Australia, Maui; which were all fun too in their own ways. And I want to go back to them.

Where are some places you are dying to go? Tokyo Japan, Bangkok Thailand, Ireland, England; other places I can't think of right now, but these are my top out of US places.

Where is your next trip? No planned trip at the moment. 

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? Yellowstone is always great. I've been there more times than I can remember (grew up a couple hours away) but it never gets old. I love, love Seattle. If I ever have the opportunity to move there I absolutely will.

@TwoDimes - I love Estes Park too! It's always so much fun!

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Alaska, and Costa Rica are my big places I really want to go.

Pearl Harbor for the history (and great memories with friends!!) and beach sex

Where are some places that you are dying to go? 

Everywhere. Costa Rica, Aruba, Alaska, Maine, Spain, Switzerland, Mexico, and back to Italy. And Atlanta to visit my BFF LaBro!

FTFY

@jenna8984 No I wasn't, but both of my younger sisters were! We were stationed in Germany a few years through the Army, however, our roots are deeper than that. My grandma was German and we still have family there. They've come here to visit us and H and visited them on our HM. It was so wonderful! I'm so excited for Norway and Sweden. Norway is actually a family reunion with my Norwegian relatives, so we'll spend about 2 or 2/12 weeks between both places (H's family is from Sweden so we definitely want to hit it up after Norway).

@thespeshulestsnowflake, I loved Okinawa too! I lived there for 3 months! What did you do there?

I was a day camp counselor on one of the military bases there. I was there for 12 weeks.

@jenna8984 - I spoke exclusively French in Paris and they were still assholes to me. Might as well just stumble your way through in English. They'll still be stuck up.

Where is your next trip? No plans. This depresses the shit out of me.

Where are some of your favorite places/destinations? Why did you love it there? Number one is Costa Rica, because the people are awesome, it's inexpensive, the weather is fabulous, and monkeys are EVERYWHERE. Other trips that have stuck out in my mind are the Redwoods in northern California, Yosemite National Park, British Columbia, and Mount Rushmore for their beauty.

I want to say I loved South Korea, but I think I mostly loved the food. I wasn't a huge fan of anything else. Too many cultural differences, I think.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Ireland, Alaska, China, New Zealand, Greece, and French Polynesia.

KeptInStitches

Where is your next trip? Honeymoon! I still don't know where, though - I asked H not to tell me until after I defend so I have something to look forward to. It'll be in mid-August, and it's domestic, but that's all I know.

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? I liked Kansas - we went there when I was a kid to visit my dad's father and stepmother, and there was a science museum in an old depot. Lawrence, KS, was interesting to visit as well.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Washington, D.C., The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (because I have no shame), Norway and Sweden, Seattle (to visit my MoH - haven't been able to go out there since she moved a few years ago).

labro

@KeptInStitches Seattle!!! I forgot to add that one to my favorite places list. I've only been the one time for a long weekend but I seriously fell in love. If H ever gets a job offer out there I'm definitely planning on jumping at it. It's the BEST city! 

@TwoDimes Well, I suppose that's true. Also PLEASE come to Atlanta! We have an amazing aquarium, and a really good zoo, and the World of Coca Cola, and ME, and @southernpeach89! AND CINDERS!!

Awww, nope I was there in 2009. We missed out by a year!

Where is your next trip? Going to do a day or two in Mystic in August, then go to the house my aunt and uncle just bought in Schroon Lake, NY.  We're also talking about a caribbean or Mexican vacation sometime this year.

Where are some of your favorite places/ destinations? Why did you love it there? My all time favorite place is Labadee, Haiti.  It is Royal Caribbean's private island off of Haiti and the only people on the island are on the cruise ship.  Other than that, I'm happiest at the beach.  Doesn't matter where the beach is located, as long as I can enjoy the ocean air.

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Greece, Spain, Croatia, Australia, Hawaii, Bora Bora, Maldives, oh the list could go on.

@labro - Seattle is the shit! I live right next to a pretty major city, but still love to drive up to Seattle for all kinds of stuff. The traffic, however, is a nightmare.

Hahaha! I'd go, but don't expect me to find any motivation to hike or bike or whatever. If it was like "Come to CannaCamp and binge watch Netflix and eat popcorn!" that would make more sense.

Where is your next trip? Myrtle Beach August 9-16 with FI 8/13/16 is (hopefully) when we'll be getting married, so it'll be cool to be on vacation and celebrate one year before the wedding!

Where are some of your favorite places/destinations? Why did you love it there? Aruba, Bahamas, Mexico. I love the beach and they are the only other countries I've been to. Also love OBX and Charleston, SC!

Where are some places that you are dying to go? Anywhere in Europe! FI and I want to do a beach resort honeymoon, but after the HM I definitely want to travel to London and Paris (maybe in a few more years...). I've always wanted to go to Turks & Caicos and Jamaica, maybe one of those for the HM.
