We go to Holden Beach every year, but I'm looking to add another vacation next year. What are your favorite spots to vacation, and why??

Savannah and Tybee Island aren't that far from Holden Beach. When I got married, that was where we went. And in retrospect, that was the one thing I didn't wind up regretting about that whole experience. Lot of great things to see around there.

Ocean City, MD and Chicago are fun. Wildcats and I went on a cruise in April and I thought it was awesome. Definitely want to go on another one.

I'm a big fan of going the cruise route. It's a nice mix of variety and not needing to plan things.

Domestic US, we did San Francisco and had a nice time. I also like the Ozarks, if you're into outdoors-sorts of stuff.

Within the US, it is Vegas and it isn't even close. Cancun if I'm leaving the country.

I go to Siesta Key or Captiva Island in February early March. Even for a North Carolinian, I appreciate the weather improvement.

I don't like going to the same place all that often, with only so many vacation days, I like to go to new places as often as possible.

One exception is New Orleans, I make a trip there at least once a year (usually for Mardi Gras). The combination of Great Food, Music, Booze & Boobs is hard to beat....

Savannah and Charleston, SC are two places I want to visit very soon.

We were docked next to the new Disney cruise ship and it was insane. Huge and really, really nice. From what I hear, it's a really good time. There are a lot of areas that are adult only for those who prefer to not be surrounded by kids the entire time.

My favorite vacation I've ever done was Australia. Sydney is an incredible city. Food, beer, women, everything was amazing. My goal at one point in my life is to live there.

Germany comes a close second as my second favorite vacation, Munich was my favorite city I visited. Those guys know to spend a day. Everyone drinks beer at any point in the day, the difference between cultures was amazing.

Brevard, NC is quickly climbing my list. Have made two trips there the past 3 mos and have camped, trout fished, and hiked several trails and have seen some amazing things.

Aventura Spa Palace in Riviera Maya, Mx is my fav desination I have vacationed at and I am heading back this Sept.

I loved Rome but I was there in the military, would love to go back there again.

I am also a huge fan of partying in Key West, FL as well!

Lake James in NE Indiana. We usually get a couple of houses for a week. less than 50 feet from the water. Boat, fish, snorkel, swim, relax..always the best week of the year.
