I very rarely travel, so I would have to say the weekend getaways to the beach on the Mississippi River near me would be my favorite vacation. It’s enough to help me relax and forget the stress of everday life, if even just overnight!
my best vacation ever was at fort Meyers beach walking for ever when the tide went out and collecting shells until my back hurt.
Best vacation ever – 3 weeks out west!
Our honeymoon to Seaside when we first experienced that magical place. That was 16 years ago, but it started a love of the place that will last a lifetime! It’s my little bit of Heaven on Earth. My 6 year old asked just today when we are going back to Seaside! :)
The best vacation ever was one in Georgia. Had lots of fun sightseeing in Atlanta area.
Taking a driving tour of the whole state of Florida with my wife on our honeymoon.
My best vacation at Seaside ever was when I was younger. My precious grandmother was still alive then, and she and I stayed together in the upper bedroom of what was then “Dappers Den.” We would sit on the screen porch together and listen to all of the sounds of the city. One night, we even heard a jazz band playing. We would take nightly strolls down the cobblestone streets. Ah, simple pleasures.
I would have to say our best vacation would be the first time my husband and I ever stayed at Seaside. The reason…we found out a couple months later that we had taken home the best souvenir ever. Our daughter was born 9 months later after years of infertility!
My best vacation was my trip to Thailand riding an elephant in the jungle and in the Kwai River. A trip I will never forget!!
Florida’s Gulf Coast beaches are the best vacation. Awesome beaches with great restaurants
My favorite vacation ever was right there in Florida….with my parents as a little girl, with some of my best friends and later to my husband on our honeymoon…that was 25 yrs ago and I have never taken another vacation again. I raised my kids and never had the opportunity to take another vacation since then. I would give anything to come back to Florida! I will move there someday but I can’t right now as I work full-time and I am still here for my kids who are all in their early adult years. I can ‘t wait to see if I win so that I can share this paradise with my kids whom have NEVER had a vacation!
My best vacations have always been in Seaside! I just turned 30 this year and my parents started family vacations in Seaside when I was 4 and I’ve been every year since. It has changed so much in that time!!
The first vacation we took as a family! It was to Disney and so much fun! Can’t say the second vacation to the beach was the best because Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel was broadcasting from our beach. And, you know, when he shows up, you had better leave!
My best vacation was at Seaside, Florida — I just love that town so much. It’s so simple there… walk to the beach…walk to restaurants… walk to shops. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you could leave your door unlocked
West coast road trip! California dreaming…
Best vacation ever…..2 weeks in Alaska…..hands down
Our trip to Kauai was breathtaking!

Bali, the island of the gods, best vacation ever!
Best vacation was a trip to New Zealand! But a close second was going to the beach with my godson & his family and SUPing every morning on the Florida coast.
My best vacation ever was to Paris, France!
Seaside in July was the first time all of our family got to spend a vacation together. It was wonderful! Our family, my husbands sister’s family, and all of the grandchildren, we are blessed. Planning one for next year. Can’t wait to be back at Seaside!
My best vacation ever? Hard to pick just one, but any vacation that I am with all of my kids and my granddaughter would have to be my best!
Best vacation ever is at Seaside!
My best vacation was mine and my husband’s seaside honeymoon! :)

I love traveling to Europe, and my favorite country so far has been Italy!
Thailand – simply the best.
Visiting my sister who moved away with her family. When my children saw their cousins at the airport, they nearly crushed each other with hugs! Didn’t matter what activities we had planned, just that we were together!
My best vacation – my first trip to Destin, FL (two years ago) and someone suggesting that we take a ride along about Route 30A. Exploring the towns, stores, restaurants was the highlight of the trip, and I absolutely love going back there! There is nothing quite like the soft white sand, friendly people and delicious seafood found along the Gulf Coast of Florida!
Pensacola Beach,FL
We just back from taking our four-year-old daughter to Disney World. Experiencing the magic through her eyes made it a vacation I’ll never forget.

Ten weeks in Europe when I was in grad school. I did take classes, but it was still fantastic.
A stay-cation. I rediscovered my city.
I think the best vacation “would be” Christmas in Florida!! My son lives there and with my grandson that will be 2 in November. I’m all the way in Ky. It would be great to great away and see them in the process. Florida vacations were always great when I was a child. As I’ve gotten older and lost my husband the farthest I ever get is the Smokey Mountains. No vacation for 6 years.
Tough one…I love going places with my family. The best is prob just trips to the Oregon Coast, staying at the beach, building fires, hanging out, watching my dad surf.
Best vacation ever – Saturdays and Sundays. It doesn’t matter what you are doing or who you are doing it with, it’s all about making the most of those everyday experiences.
My best vacation was when mom & I went to Anna Marie Island FL. The best 5 days we ever had. Sun, sand, surf. grouper. so much. fun We got along so well. I cried when we left. We have always wanted to go back and never could afford to. Mom has end stage renal failure now but is holding tight. Want to go back to FL someday some way, somehow. I know we will find a way if God is willing and wants us there. I know momma wants to see it again one more time. It is so beautiful there. We are from OK and desperately need a break to help us renew our Spirit really bad. If anything could help us, it would be Florida.
Our very first Disney Cruise was our best ever!
My best friend’s son and daughter in law are having their first child. This will make her a grandma (gigi) for the first time. They live in Florida and she lives in Illinois. This would be a perfect way for her to go and visit them and they could all vacation at the same time.
Our best vacay was definitely Australia! So gorgeous and I’m dying to get back! But I’d happily take a Florida weekend anytime!!! I love it there :)
St John, U.S.V.I is our favorite place to vacation. Gorgeous beaches!
My favorite vacation was when we took our family to Tiajuana, Mexico. Our youngest son was graduating from Marines boot camp in San Diego. He married his sweetheart the same day and then had leave to go to Tiajuan with our family. We all had a wonderful time. The different culture, the varied people, the shopping experience, and then the mad dash across the boarder to meet our flight…all are memorable.

My favorite vacation was a cruise to Alaska with my whole family.
My favorite vacation was a trip I took to San Fransisco with my parent when I was 13 years old. It was the mid-60’s and the hippy scene was going full blast in SF then. I was from Louisiana and the sites were foreign to me. And exciting. I was a hippy at heart ever since.

Every summer around July 4th we travel far into the mountains of Virginia to visit with my husband’s family. Since we live in one of the southernmost cities with our three children, it is always a treat to steal away there to enjoy their cooler temperatures and breezes, watch the children run and play on the soft grass, and hearing the cows on the neighboring farm moo throughout the day. It’s not the fanciest of places to vacation but always just the right spot for us.

I went para-sailing, we went to a pig picking, took a helicopter ride around Maui and then we took our rental car past a sign that said do not go pass this point. It was off roading but we saw a part of Maui most people don’t get to see. We had a blast.

Then, our time at the hotel and hanging out on the beach gave my daughters and mom time to get to know each other better and bond. Every child should be able to have a vacation with their grandparents like mine did with my mom.

My best vacation ever was a few years ago, when my kids were still little. My best friend from childhood lived in Georgia at the time, and my family was taking a vacation in Florida to go to Disney. She decided to drive over and surprise us! It was so much fun. She was the manager of an ice cream shop at the time, so she brought with her a cooler FULL of ice cream. There was so much of it…we even wound up eating it for breakfast a couple times. She stayed the rest of the week, and we had the best time visiting Disney and just hanging out. We’ve gone on many vacations since that one, but it will still always be my favorite. What treasured memories.

There was even a house that had a creek running right under it. From there we drove to Bangor, ME where we took the CAT ferry to Nova Scotia and stayed there for 1 night. The CAT no longer serves ME but it was a high speed ferry that even had a casino. I played blackjack but of course I didn’t win anything. However, I did see a lot whales playing in the water. I’ll never forget how awesome it was to see them. Anyway then we did the trip in reverse to come back home to MD. My BEST vacation ever!

As a kid, my family usually vacationed with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins. One year we went to Fontana Damn in the Smokey Mountains.

I’ve never been to the ocean, and really, as a ranch wife, haven’t traveled a lot. :( We went to Colorado 2 years ago with our boys for 4 days and had a great time hiking and enjoying the mountains.
Our best vacation was to the beach last year! We just enjoyed relaxing and spending time together.

first trip to jamaica with my husband
I think the best vacation ever was 2 Christmases ago…My husband and I met up with my parents in Florida and got to see some other family members… we went to Disneyworld which is always amazing…but the reason this was the best vacation ever was because it was the last vacation/Christmas my family will ever get to be all together since my Father passed away December 26th, 2012. I will always treasure the memories of that vacation!
Would love to take my husband on this vacation! He has been working so hard to renovate the home we just bought and this would be a great surprise.
The best trip that I have been was when we used our tax refund to take our kids to Disneyland and SeaWorld. It was a great trip. The kids had such a good time and created a lot of memories.
When my family and I went to the Florida Keys…Islamorada, Key West, Key Largo….lots of keys in the keys.
My best vacation ever was my honeymoon. My husband & I went to Kauai for a week. It was both of our first “real” vacations where we stayed at a nice resort, did excursions and ate at wonderful restaurants. My husband has always wanted to go to Florida so this would be a great win! Thanks.
Renting a cabin on the lake, boating, kayaking, and biking the trails

Best vacation ever was a week in Hawaii!
Honeymoon cruise!
My favorite vacation was our destination wedding! On Grand Bahama Island at The Pelican Bay resort….can’t beat marrying the man of your dreams surrounded by 30 of your closest friends on a private beach!!
Let’s see, that’s a tough one??!!! I love all of my vacations because I have the intermittent chance to leave behind endless household chores, mountains of laundry that never seem to shrink, and the constant sound of “Mom, I’m bored, what can we do?”. But, I guess my absolute favorite would be the chance to go to Italy with my son’s Junior High Foreign Language class. It was absolutely beautiful. The ancient Roman architecture and artistry was simply breathtaking. I would recommend this vacation to anyone!
My best vacation ever was going to Disney world with my children when they were younger.
I LOVE the Florida gulf coast, but I have to say that my honeymoon was my best vacation. It was a quick trip, my husband had a college final the following Tuesday, but I was a newlywed, a college graduate, and had zero worries!
My favorite vacation ever was a whole family cruise to the Caribbean!
The Smoky Mountains

The time I went to Greece for a month:) Definitely overdue for a trip back!
We are little unique because we actually live on 30A! Our best vacation each year is when we do a “staycation” in Seaside. My husband and I leave the kids at home with a babysitter and head over to the “honeymoon cottage” in Seaside. It’s romantic and incredibly stylish. I’ve never been to a more lovely cottage on the beach. We love it so much we repeat at least once a year!
My best vacation was the week of Christmas last year. Just my husband and me at Orange Beach.
My favorite vacation is any vacation to the beach with my little family of four! Just something amazing about the ocean!
My Mom, sister and I go on a girls trip every year and we went to Seaside this past summer and LOVED it! It has been my favorite vacation and I would love to go back :)

Best vacation was in Maui, loved it! Absolutely beautiful beaches everywhere!
My best vacation ever was our honeymoon to Costa Rica. It was the first time for both of us to go out of the country and it was absolutely breathtaking. :)
Best vacation ever, huh? Hmmm, I just spent a week in London by myself, & that’s the one that’s coming to mind, especially because I got to go to the Harry Potter studio! But I also loved my family trips to Hilton Head, SC, as a kid & would love to return to the south & the beach. I miss it!
My best vacations have happened when my family was able to travel together. Our most memorable trips have been to Europe and more recently, to Egypt. We have truly been blessed to be able to take these trips as a family.
My absolutely favourite vacation was to Grenada in the Caribbean. Because Grenada is so far south, tourism isn’t as huge and the island has kept its natural beauty. Resorts are wonderful and Grenada has the BEST organically produced dark chocolate I have ever tasted! The island is abundant in waterfalls, rivers, beaches, and mountains so it really is the perfect Caribbean island to visit!
You should take your next vacation in Grenada!
The best vacation I ever had was when I was in college my junior year. Our special education course instructor was a huge part of the study abroad program at The University of Mississippi. The first day of class, she showed us a video of where she spent her summer. She spent her summer in Belize working with the students there. As I was watching the video, I could not help but to think that is where I belonged. As I was exiting the classroom, I stopped to talk to my instructor about becoming apart of the Study Abroad program. After discussing my interest with my family, I officially became apart of the Study Abroad program at Ole Miss. In March 2012, I was on my way to Belize to work in the classrooms. As I arrived in Belize, I immediately was in culture shock. I felt so ungrateful and began relizing how blessed I am. I had never really been away from my family and only being twenty years old and being so far away from my family was very difficult. It was a lot to take in at once. However, the people in Belize were VERY welcoming but it is very different from the lifestyle I live. You see children running around without parents, animals all over the place and children working stands to help get money for their families. Behind the jewelry stands, you would see the children making bracelets or the mothers making bracelets. All I could think about was how ungrateful and selfish I have been my entire life along with all the rest of Americans. I knew Belize would be different than my lifestyle, but I really didn’t expect what I saw. Even though the people in Belize lived in poverty, they were still the happiest people I have ever been around. The Belizeans walk around smiling, laughing and having a good time.
In San Mateo, they do have a couple roads, thanks to Ole Miss. The houses were not what I expected what so ever. Instead of front doors in their homes, they had sheets covering the door way. They did not have steps to get into their homes; they had pieces of wood made out of a bridge (very dangerous) for a walkway into their home. After talking to some of the children, I soon found out that most of the children sleep on the floor or in a hammock. Money of course was an issue but also the fact that the houses were so small and could not fit enough beds in their home for the family. They did not have running water; they had to bathe in the ocean. Some of the houses don’t have electricity, which means at night when they are walking on a little plank to get into their home it is very dangerous situation. A little girl’s family that I met was talking to me about San Mateo and she made a comment about how hard it is to go out at night because trying to get out the door and having to walk on the little pieces of wood with the children was very difficult. They had to shine a little light in order for them to see the wood to walk on. I know when my electricity goes out due to a storm, my family and I freak out. We think it is the end of the world and all of a sudden get very angry because we are only able to see by a candle or a flashlight.At the school, Holy Cross I was blown away by the school. I could not believe my eyes. The classrooms have no air conditioner and have a water jug placed in the room that only has one cup for the entire class. The whole class had to share a cup. It was extremely hot which meant the students were constantly getting up for water. They have workers outside with loud machines right by the classrooms which makes it difficult for the teachers to teach and the students to hear the teacher. When it rains, it is also very difficult for the teachers to teach because the ceilings are made out of tin and it is so loud. The students are not able to concentrate because of the noise. I know one hundred percent sure that I would not be able pay attention to my teacher, complete my classwork or finish a test with the rain hitting the tin roof or hearing loud machines constantly during the day. As a student, I would be very frustrated/ aggravated. On top of the loud noise when it rains, they have to shut their windows or the rain will pour into the rooms. With the windows closed, you couldn’t imagine how hot it gets in the classroom which adds more frustration and aggravation. My teacher Mrs. James continued to teach while it rained but she was literally screaming the lesson to her students so they would be able to hear. Of course most of the students were not listening and were in a different world. As far as the sewage system at Holy Cross goes it isn’t what you see in America. The water isn’t clean water. Everyday I was there, I was constantly helping Mrs. James out with new teaching strategies. She would tell me over and over again how thankful she was that I was there and able to share information with her. (The teachers in Belize are not very educated, they only have to graduate highschool in order to become a teacher.)
During the last few days the students have been learning about writing a business letter. They had to pretend to write a business letter to someone that was willing to donate money to Holy Cross. Mrs. James asked the students to tell her reasons why the person should donate the money and what it would be used for. A little girl raised her hand to answer and she told Mrs. James that they need the money to buy a computer for the classroom because it would be easier for them to do research since they were only able to go to the computer lab once a week. Another little boy raised his hand and told Mrs. James that they need the money to buy an air conditioner and his reason for wanting an air conditioner was because when it is really hot outside and he is sweating it is very hard to concentrate. I felt very selfish at this point. I could not imagine trying to pay attention to my teacher or completing a test sweating because it is so hot. I know every American would think it was the end of the world if air conditioner did not exist in the classrooms. Could you imagine only having limited access to internet? All I could do was think about how much I use the internet to plan lessons and learn new things about teaching? Or how many assignments in school require us to use the internet? I really bonded with a little eleven year old girl in my classroom. Every day after school let out; I would always plan to meet up with her, her mother and two siblings. I really got to know her and her family. We would meet at the park, jump rope, swim and my last night there I took her out to dinner to eat Shrimp. I’ll never forget what her mother told me after returning from dinner and taking her home. She told me that she has never let her daughter go anywhere without her. The night I took her to dinner was the first time she has ever been without her mom besides attending school. She told me that she trusted me. It felt wonderful to only know this family a week and they were able to trust me in such a short amount of time. The morning before I left, her and her family met me at my condo door. The little girl had made me a card with a picture of her and her two siblings and bought me a shell necklace. When I got home from Belize, I had a new friend request on my facebook page. It was her, she searched and found me on facebook. This family will always have a big place in my heart that I will never forget.
After a few days of being in Belize and working with the students I knew that this was the best experience and nothing will ever compare to it.
Here is a link to a picture of me and the students in Belize. Hope you enjoy reading about the best vacation I have had.https://1aaf4b21-a-e4bb5e37-s-sites.googlegroups.com/a/go.olemiss.edu/ashsommerfeld/home/484571_3559686473593_1699609249_n.jpg?attachauth=ANoY7cpKAWQdN583QhzvJFHZd9q1CDieg9XvSQRQwYKdAgyL4cK0aSxNQv9_rKIKfEidbo3v_CjaLqQ8cjkV1JFxFKXDQqK128Z5vdPs96wevon62mQ4vkN7EHRN2jjJFzIpKASbxJd0ccIppMQj0dYlqQI9Jd7D1XkReLRN9tgGxLVOz_CP9KZkwNOiPmlpo2Q6cmKRj1axfnsgl1xVzSzv4PyK-W1C5pMhXv84EGgDWdmOeqRlefiwyHgvtCPvOWIYBL287FTt&attredirects=0

The sugar white sands and absolutely beautiful gulf waters are just part of what makes Seaside special! We love the relaxed atmosphere, inspiring architecture and all the shopping! There is really no reason to leave…except when we have to get back to reality. We would LOVE a vacation back to our favorite spot!!!
St. Barts in the French West Indies. Also known as St. Barth or St. Barthelemy. BEAUTIFUL island!
I also have not been on a trip in a long time. All of my fondest memories have been with family in Key West.
My honeymoon three years ago!
Sad to say, but it has been so long since we have been on a vaca, I can’t recall “the best” one.
This giveaway will surely make up for it. I love the beach (born in Miami, FL), I would love a chance to get back there and enjoy the beautiful east coast waters. Thank you Amanda!
Would Love To Go To Seaside!
All expense paid trip to Oahu was most memorable for me. All the meals, day excursions, nightly entertainment and lodging was arranged by a company my husband worked with in sales. Beautiful island.
My best vacation ever would probably be last year when my husband surprised me with a trip to Hawaii for our 15th Anniversary…..but anywhere where there sand and sun, I’m happy.
Our trip to New York City.
Snorkeling in Mexico!!!
We were young and recently married. We saved to go to Hilton Head for 4 days. We loved it so much that every day we said “should we stay one more day?”. And we did every day for 3 more. It was so fun to just be spontaneous and do that.
My best vacation ever was surprising my daughter for a trip to Walt Disney in Orlando! She loves it and I do to!

althought I’m happily married with four children I’d have to say that so far my best vacation is when I drove from louisiana to the state of washington for a work related assignment. I was there about two months but I love the fact I got to sight see and just enjoy the four day drive.

I have fond memories of childhood vacations at Lake Massasecum in New Hampshire. Once a year the family would pack up the station wagon and travel four hours to a rustic cabin in the woods. The lake was right across the street. We would meet friends and dread the end of the week when we had to leave them. There was no television or electronics allowed so we played games and got to know each other better. We cooked out and then after dinner looked forward to the owner coming around with homemade popsicles! I miss those days.
Disney World hands down at ANY age!!!

The best vacation I’ve ever been on was when I was a.kid, and my entire family went to South Padre Island. I’m a Texan by birth and have barely been out of the state, it would be amazing to go to Florida!
My best vacation was a trip my husband and I took to Hawaii just before we got pregnant with our first child. We knew it would be a very long time before we made that trip again (and we have not been back 10 years and 4 kids later). It was a relaxing trip full of sun, sand, snorkeling, and sightseeing. We dream of going back someday!

We have had so many WONDERFUL vacations because we were all together as a family and to me that is what it is all about. But in 2005 my mom took all 19 of us (herself, her 5 children, 4 spouses and 9 grandchildren) on a Disney Cruise. The cruise was fine, the resort stay before and after was good, but the fact that we were ALL together was the high point. It had been 5 years since our dad has passed away and mom wanted for us to all move forward individually and as a family and live life. We had some rough times leading up to his passing and it took some time for healing….
Well, on that trip our youngest brother and his wife realized that they were expecting their third child and mom & dad’s TENTH grandchild!! Talk about a souvenir!!! It was a once in a lifetime trip and probably it will never be recreated, but IT WAS GOOD!!!!
My best vacation ever was bringing my 7 year old son to Disney World for the first time and seeing him experience the ocean for the first time and how much he enjoyed it. Thanks!!!

Best Vacation was my wedding/honeymoon in Hawaii… 3 kids later… just waiting to go back!
My favorite vacation was to a friend’s cabin in the mountains in Montana and then to Yellowstone for camping. So great to get out of the office and out to nature.
My wife’s driven through Seaside a couple of times and was really impressed. I’d love to take her there as a 40th anniversary surprise.
We don’t normall get to take vacations, but we went to Disneyland for Christmas one year and it was my favorite thing we done, so beautiful and peaceful!
We took a 2 week vacation driving east from Eugene, Oregon to Idaho, up the panhandle to Bonners Ferry and crossing over into Montana where we visited Glacier National Park and St. Mary’s Lake, then down to Browning, where we spent 3 hours wandering in awe through one of the best American Indian museums I have ever seen. We then proceeded south, more or less into Wyoming and camped at Yellowstone Park. It was an unforgettable trip!

I think it was 2 years ago when we rented a car–headed from Seattle to Disneyland–but stopped in San Fran, bought a city pass there and enjoyed our stay–then went on to Disney for a day, then Hollywood and all the other fun sites.. then driving back we were trying to make it back in a day. I was driving and gave up, pulled over and we stayed in the best hotel (with the best deal) of the whole time. We still talk about that vacation today! :)

My BEST vacation ever was to California in 2011 for my 40th class reunion, it was the first one I had ever gotten to attend, my hubby and I drove out there and just made it a touristy fun time!

My favorite vacation was really a trip that my husband and I took for a wedding. It was held in RI in the town that we met in. It was so nice to see friends and have us all be back “in town”. Great memories from that time in our life.
Last September to the beach with my husband, our two kids, and my in laws. We lost my my father-in-law on Christmas Eve to lung cancer that had metastasized in his brain.

Best Vacation . . . my husband and I haven’t been on a vacation just the two of us in over 10 years. At this point I think the best vacation would be one where we get to spend undivided attention with each other. Looking back, 14 years ago we went on a road trip to San Francisco, Sacramento, wine country and all up along 101 back to Washington State. It was wonderful and perfect and we loved it. :)

Three days before our wedding, my (then) fiance, my father, my brother and some of our friends sea-kayaked the Napali Coast on Kauai. We camped there for a few days and kayaked back. It was the most exciting, most beautiful and most terrifying thing I’ve ever done. What a way to start off our (now 4+ year) marriage!
Europe. Hands down. I had never been out of the country before so my husband and I decided to go for our honeymoon. Italy was amazing!
One year, after living away from home for so long, we went back and go to go to Disneyland, California Adventure Park, Knotts Berry Farm, Magic Mountain, the beach and visit with friends and family. That was a lot of fun.

My best vacation had to be a trip to NYC, even though I had just recently met my (then) future husband, I was still able to “experience” NYC “with” him since I was pretty much on the phone with him the whole time, describing everything and soaking it all in through rose colored glasses!

Best vacation ever was NYC!

The Best vacation that I’ve ever had was 2 years ago when I went to Oahu, Hawaii. I had the time of my life and because of that trip, I want to move to Hawaii!!!
my best vacation EVER was one to Italy where we traveled around for a few weeks and just sort of relaxed through the vacation rather than pressing to get so much done. I feel like i just came back with a better attitude and understanding of the culture when I took the time to be in it, rather than going to museum after museum.
Best vacation ever – honeymoon to Aruba!
My husband surprised me for our 3 year anniversary and took me back to Italy. He planned everything, got a villa, car and booked dinners and tours at some our favorite vineyards and restaurants! It was amazing and relaxing!

best vacation ever…..anywhere in France. I have loved every trip I’ve taken there. Thanks for the giveaway opportunities!
Any vacation at all sounds amazing right now, but one of my very favorites was when my husband and I went to Florida for a week when he came home from his 13-month deployment, and then we turned around and took the kids to Disneyland. Loved it!
The best vacation I have had was 3 years ago we were able to go to Rosemary beach and stay at a friends house. Our whole family went. It was the first vacation my dad was able to go on with us in years. He loved it. It is one of the best memories I have of my dad.
We just got back from Orange Beach, AL. I love OBA. It really is the best. However, I’m sure Seaside is just as great since it’s pretty much the same sand and same warm gulf water!
I would love to relax in such beautiful surroundings.
To be honest, after 40 years I’ve never taken an actual vacation. Whenever I take time off I spend it cleaning the house or washing laundry or essentially becoming a hermit and holing up in my house for a week decompressing from work. My dream vacation is to go to Ireland. I think I should start planning for that now. Sharing how uneventful my vacation life up till now has been was an eye opener!
Disney World!!
Best vacation ever was a trip to Disney with my family!
Best vacation ever has been Costa Rica I think.
Well hopefully after I win this one this will be it, but so far the best vacation has been a fall tour through New England. The color in the leaves and the simplicity of the towns was absolutely magical. I dream of living in that area and away from the Texas heat one day.
Our best vacation ever was our first trip to California to see our son and daughter in law. We did so much that I literally asked my husband if we were doing too much! HA! They lived in Pacific Grove which is hands down (there and Monterey) my favorite location ever! We drove along the gorgeous Hwy 1 coast, visited Cannery Row and Pebble Beach. We walked along the beach to restaurants from their house and did 2 days trips alone – San Francisco taking in Alcatraz and then to San Simeon taking in a tour of Hearst Castle! We all (including the dog) went for the weekend to Yosemite, which had the most majestic sites I’d ever seen.
The best vacation I’ve had was in the Dominican Republic…it’s so beautiful!
We’ve only gone on one vacation in 20 years and that was a quick four-day trip to Mount Rushmore this summer. It was beyond wonderful. Although the scenery was magnificent (Badlands, scenic drives, Mount Rushmore), what I’ll remember the most is how much we enjoyed our family time. Nothing can beat that!
Best vacation ever was a road trip up the Norther California coast… here’s to hoping that an Eat Coast trip is in my future. Thanks for the fun giveaways this week!
Best trip to date would have to be our first trip to Disney World with our three little girls.
Best VACATION(S) ever were the week-long visits my family made to the beaches in Panama City, Florida every summer. We spent time relaxing by the pool, walking along the shore, taking turns fixing meals in each family member’s room, and always visited Miralce Strip Amusement Park. The highlight at Miracle Strip was riding the ferris wheel with my grandfather. No one else would do! Great memories to hold onto since grandparents are no longer living and families have grown up and moved on to other vacations!
Honeymoon in Cocoa Beach, FL — I’m a FL addict! :)
Best vacation ever was our honeymon… going to Carmel Valley, CA. We got pregnant after that, so I would love to take another vacation with our now 1 year old!!!!!!

Florida holds a special place in my heart because of all the happy memories I have had there. ♥

I have not gone far from home for vacations, but the ones that stick out in my mind are the camping trips with my family. That is the best time, just sitting around talking and enjoying each other.
My favorite vacation ever was when my family rented a beach house on St. George Island after I graduated college. It’s like Seaside, only smaller and more deserted! Loved it.

It was SOO MUCH FUN!!!

The beauty of that place was stunning. Would love to spend more time there!

Maui, absolutely. Would love to take my husband to Seaside, he’s a big fan of “The Truman Show”!!
I don’t think I’ve had my best vacation ever … yet! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some great vacations, but I am truly looking forward to an upcoming vacation – this might be the best vacation! You see, I surprised my soon to be 82 yo Mom by booking a cruise to the Caribbean over Thanksgiving this year. She has never taken a vacation of this kind, never been on a cruise or out of the country, so this is a HUGE deal for her and with her advancing age may be the only one like this.
Her excitement for this surprise trip and all the adventures it will hold, I believe, will make this my Best Vacation ever!
My best vacation would have to be anywhere I can be with our whole family – beach, Disney – wherever!

We always have great vacations in the South Walton area, but my best was almost two weeks in Italy!

I wish I could say Seaside, Florida but I have never been there! Our favorite vacation is going to LBI with my entire family plus aunts, uncles, and cousins. It makes for an incredible week because our families live all over the country – Minnesota, Texas, California, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts – we just don’t see each other often.
My best vacation was a trip I took with my mom to Europe. It was many years ago, and she has now passed, but I have so many lovely memories that will stay with me forever.
Honestly, we just don’t travel enough :( We’ve been married 13 years and I can count on one hand how many trips we’ve taken. But I will say, our honeymoon to Oregon, many moons ago, was pretty darn fun! I absolutely love Oregon! Never been to Florida though :)
My best vacation was our honeymoon on a beach in FL; love falling asleep to the sound of the waves.
Going to Washington DC for a week with my husband and staying at a hotel on Capitol Hill!
I love going to Phoenix. I have family there so I get special tours, and a ride along with my cop cousin. I love the heat, and the desert, and all the great hiking. BUT I’m a huge ocean lover too if I get the chance, just don’t get to it very often.
The best vacation was St Thomas and St John US Virgin Islands.
Best vacation ever? 9 days in Maui! It was for our 5 year anniversary and I still think about it all the time.

My best vacation was a family trip with our adult children and first grand child in 1997 – visiting Orlando (from Buffalo, NY). We had so much fun :)
So hard to choose! I will have to pick one of the most recent trips we took to Miami Florida…..from there we took a quickie cruise to Grand Bahama Island where we did some amazing snorkeling!!
My favorite “place” I’ve been is charleston/folly beach sc. But for overall vacation experience, there are many and for different reasons. My spring breaks with college friends, my first “family” vacation with my own family, or my childhood trips with my parents and extended families, even the yearly “women’s” beach trip for all the adult women in my family. All hold a special place in my heart.
My BEST vacation ever was the beach vacation I took along with 20 members of my family this year. There is nothing like being with family!

Anytime we go to the beach!!!
When I was young we went to Mississippi to visit my aunt & uncle (my uncle was in the air force and they were stationed in Biloxi) – we visited them for a bit and then went over to Florida to go to Disneyworld – and my aunt & uncle came for a visit there.

Sad!)

Best vacation–so hard! Many different memories made on each one (the best part about vacation!).
We recently took a family trip for the first time with our girls to Milwaukee WI. My husband and I have actually been to Disney World (without kids) and that was a blast! What a tricky question, but a great one, as it allows me to go back and remember about the different places we have been.
Heading from blazing hot Alabama to Bar Harbor, Maine two weeks before my son left for his freshman year at Auburn. A beautiful place, a special time in the life of our small family, and we were wearing windbreakers to eat lobster dinners while it was over 100 degrees at home!
Our best vacation was to the white sugar sand beaches of Destin, Florida. I would give anything to go back!
So far, our best vacations have probably been Disney World – so much fun with kids! I would love to go Italy someday though – I think that would trump Orlando!

My best vacation ever was our honeymoon at Disney World Florida! We also had a chance to visit Clearwater beach which was close by and we fell in love with the white sugar sand beaches!
A last minute unexpected family trip to Hilton Head! Our family couldn’t afford a vacation at the time, but needed one desperately. A friend couldn’t use their time-share last minute, offered it to us at only the cost of the $200 transfer fee….we scored a week in Hilton Head at an amazing resort! One of the most amazing blessings….it did wonders for our family! My heart still overflows with gratefulness everything I think I about it!
In 2004, I spent in Los Cabos, Mexico with my brother and sister-in-law. We had a blast! We rode ATVs in the desert, drank margaritas and relaxed by the pool.
I am hoping my best vacation ever will be in a couple of weeks. We are taking my 10-yr old daughter and 75-yr old mother to Florida for the first time. I am hoping for lots of relaxation, pleasant sunshine and bonding family time.
Best vaca ever…the trip we just returned from…taking our kids to travel around Europe for the first time – so much fun! Although, I have really loved all of our family vacations!!
I don’t really have a best vacation ever but I grew up in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and that is where I call home. Now being a military family we most likely won’t go home for Christmas so this would be an awesome vacation home!!! <3
Lake Michigan with my family!
Best vacation ever…my entire family and husband at an all inclusive resort in Mexico! so fun!

I had to forgo my annual week vacation in Madison, AL to visit my sister this year due to job conflicts. I would love, love, love to meet up with her here. In the past, we have driven to the Alabama Shores, taken long drives through various Alabama cities but the best part of those vacations is just being with my sister that one time of year. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!
Best vacation ever? A week in Orlando with my kids in 2002!!
All vacations are wonderful – relaxing, family/friends, food & culture of wherever you are! A particularly wonderful vacation was had in New Zealand decades ago…but enjoying one in Seaside, FL would also give me the chance to see my grandmother and aunt, whom I’ve not seen in a very long time. What a great family vacation that would be — thanks for the chance!
Best vacation ever was Hawaii!!!!
My best vacation ever was when my husband and I, at this time we had been dating for almost a year, I surprised him with a trip to visit him (he was attending school in Vegas at the time at UNLV) and I at Ole Miss. I booked the ticket and told him two days before- I found the fare luckily very inexpensive. He in turn surprised me when I landed in Vegas. He had a jeep wrangler rented for us and a hotel on the beach of Laguna. We roadtripped the next morning through Nevada and California. It was our best vacation ever. It was so enjoyable to see the sights of the desert and ocean with the top down of the Wrangler and just spend quality time together. During the 3 day trip we drove from Laguna to other local beaches and had a blast. We just got married this June and it is still one of our favorite memories.
Best vacations are always Florida!!
Our very first Disney trip!
This spring break my mom got to go to the beach with my family. It is the first vacations she got to go on with my family!

My honeymoon in Portugal!
Anywhere with my husband!
I love the Florida panhandle and have been vacationing there for almost 40 years. My favorite family (of my own) vacation was likely to Yellowstone.
Our family vacations in Seagrove Beach just a short distance from Seaside! We have been to Disney and to Alaska but the times on the Gulf are the best! Fresh seafood, napping under a beach umbrella listening to the surf, the beautiful emerald water and I could go on! We describe it as peaceful and relaxing!
Best vacation ever was our honeymoon to Costa Rica! It was amazing!!
Oh wow. This is amazing! My best vacation was my honeymoon, actually. After stopping by Cedar Point and Kings Island amusement parks, my hubby and I drove down to Bradenton and Orlando, FL. We visited Downtown Disney and Universal Studios. It was a blast.

While I have LOVED every vacation we’ve done (cruises, disneyworld, etc) — the very BEST, MOST RELAXING VACATION — was renting a house at the beach for the whole family….. the week was wonderful time spent together … everyone relaxed… no hurries to be anywhere or do anything… a wonderful time to reconnect at one of my most favorite places to be… the BEACH!

My best vacation ever was when my husband and I visited the south of Maine almost ten years ago. A friend/colleague of mine has a house on the shore. It’s been in his family since the 30’s I think. It was late September/early October and I had found out I was expecting our first child earlier in the month. It was a euphoric time and although I slept A LOT! we still managed to have a great time exploring Maine and soaking up the water and the waves (mostly from inside). It was dreamy to be there and talk about our little one who would be arriving the following May. Now I am crying…I better stop. :) Thanks for the opportunity Kevin and Amanda!!

Let’s see…probably the BEST fun vacation I’ve been on was a family wedding in upstate New York followed by 3 days at Niagara Falls…we ate dinner at the restaurant that slowly spins from the US to the Canadian side…it was so romantic!!! The BEST most meaningful vacation I’ve been on was just recently I went home to take care of my dad who got quite sick after surgery. I spent 12 weeks with him-most of the time just the 2 of us-I learned so much about him during our talks and I feel closer to him than I ever have. This time was a gift and the best 12 week “vacation” of my lift.
I don’t really have a best vacation destination. For me it’s getting away and having time to relax and soak up the sun. I am a hot vacation person, so the weather on vacation needs to be warm to enjoy being outside. Time to get away, spend time with my husband and some sightseeing.
oh goodness would love a weekend off and need one real bad! My best vacation was when we got on a train in Chicago stayed in a sleeper car and road all the way to the coast. Then spend a week in Seattle and Canada. My son was little and oh what fun to ride a real train. Was a lot of fun!

Best vacation ever was our honeymoon – a cruise on Freedom of the Seas!
My best vacation was in May of 2012 went I visited Germany & France. It was a 2-week trip that was part of my undergraduate degree in Business Administration. We visited many different companies, such as Audi, Mercedes, the European Parliament, UPS and so much more. I learned so much and was able to see these companies in ways that most would never see. In addition, we definitely visited classic and historic sites, such as the Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, Notre Dame, and the Cathedral of Strasbourg. All in all, this trip allowed me to take in so much in so little time, as well as creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
My best vacation ever was our honeymoon trip to Destin,Florida. We stayed at Henderson Beach Inn!!

Best Vacation Ever? Any vacation is the BEST vacation in my mind, but up there in the top are Disney, Napa Valley, and London.
Best vacation ever? I don’t think I could pick just one. Vegas, Orlando, NYC are all my recent favorites.
The best vacation was Destin,Florida!
Best vacation ever- Grand Bahamas for my honeymoon- it was a comedy of errors starting off and that helped make it memorable. Plus, it was 3 months after 9/11 and not many people were traveling much in those months so we essentially had the resort to ourselves. It was wonderful.
Disney World!
Our best vacation was the Big Island Hawaii a few years ago, snorkeling, star gazing, and hiking the volcano!
Best vacation ever was my short, four-day trip alone with my husband to a small resort last May.
My favorite vacation was a western Caribbean cruise!

I went with my now husband (then boyfriend) to his family reunion in Michigan five years ago. While the trip itself wasn’t anything special, when we got back home, he proposed!!!!
Best Vacation Ever???? The 10 days we spent in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The warm salty breeze, white sand, and clear Gulf waters made it heaven on earth. I can close my eyes and still feel like I am right there on the beach.
Best vacation ever… northern Italy, with NYC being a close second!
Hawaii was wonderful!
My best vacations are my skiing ones to Colorado, specifically Copper Mountain. I just LOVE it!!!
Our all inclusive vacation to Mexico was the best!
My favorite vacation was this spring when hubby and I took our 2 boys and doggy to Florida. They all loved the beach!!!
I love to travel and have been to Europe, the Middle East, all over the USA and Canada; but the best vacation I ever had may have just been the one I went on. It’s been a difficult year for me, caring for my grandma who has many ailments, including Alzheimer’s. Also for my best girlfriends (we’ve been friends since elementary school!) – some have seen the end of their marriage, other have dealt with the loss of loved ones, and others with children who are going through very difficult circumstances. So, the six of us just spent four days together at a lake house in Maryland. We cooked together, watched movies, played games, and went hiking. It was such a relaxing, refreshing time for all of us. Yes, that was the best vacation ever and I’d love to do a “repeat” of it in Seaside, Florida!
Best vacation ever was a trip to Belize spent at Jaguar Paw Resort. It was privately owned by an American then and more personal than the commercial company that bought it. The grounds of the resort are so beautiful and with cave tubing and hiking you can stay busy for days. Mayan ruins are not far and our guide was working on his Phd in anthropology.
That places looks gorgeous! You need to open this competition up to us in the UK ;) Will definitely have to visit to South Walton next time I’m State Side.
Best holiday: Road trip with my friend, we flew into Miami and drove to LA and back over 3 weeks visiting all the cool and quirky places in between. Such an interesting and diverse landscape over there, amazing!
My best vacation ever was our trip to glacier national park. Oh, and Hawaii!!
Hiking Chisos Mountains – breath taking!
Best vacation ever would have to be going to Myrtle Beach with my husband for our 10th anniversary! :)
My best vacation was a trip to Italy – the FOOD!!
It was Disney World and Universal in 2002. All the kiddo’s were still little and my former husband and I shared probably the best ten days of our whole marriage. I will remember that time fondly forever! Sadly it was one of our last vacations as a happy family. I’d give anything to make my four kids little again. Miss those days!
My best vacation ever was probably one to Disney World. I love that place-how it makes me feel young again!
Our family vacation to San Antonio, TX!
Best Vacation Ever – A week with my family in Costa Rica. So awesome!!!
New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont
My best vacation ever was when I earned a trip to Disneyworld. However, Disney wasn’t the best part. We stayed in Mexico Beach, FL for three days before heading to Orlando. It was so relaxing! We look forward to going back.
Best vacation was my honeymoon to Puerto Vallarta!!!
When I first met my husband and we were dating, we went to Italy. We stayed in super cheapo rooms with shared bathrooms and we were on a super-tight budget, but it was an amazing trip.
Our honeymoon to Paris and then Greece! AMAZING! So glad we had that time before kids came along, because I don’t think it will happen again!
Mine was going to New York with my aunt for a graduation trip! My favorite city, EVER!
two best vacations… our honeymoon to the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. So beautiful, so relaxing… The Bitter End in BVI was AMAZING!! Other best was Disney with husband and children, it was magical.
My best vacation ever was going with my Dad to France he had to work while we were there but I was able to hang out by the beach in St Marie Del La Mar, I also was able to visit Arles and Paris. Dream Come True Trip!!!
My Best VacatIon Was A Disney Cruise With No Kids….. So Much Fun!
Best vacation is coming up in September – My honeymoon to Key West, Cayman Islands, and Jamaica!!!!!
My best vacation would have to be just about anytime I get to visit the gulf. My family and I have been visiting Destin, FL for the past 19 years and we LOVE it! I agree with you that the clear water and white sand beaches are just about the best in the world and being able to spend time there with my husband and children over the years has been wonderful. If I could, I would move to the Gulf Coast!
I spent 5 weeks in Costa Rica right after I graduated college and it was an absolutely amazing experience. We traveled all around the country and really had a fantastic time!
I could not agree with you more, the white sugar sand and emerald waters of Florida’s gulf coast are the best beaches. I am also enjoying them right now in Destin. Just love it, it’s the best and I love when you write about them.
My mom’s 50th birthday in Vegas!

My favorite vacation is when my family goes to Japan to visit relatives together – I can’t get enough of the food, haha!
I haven’t been on vacation in 13 years! I guess that is what you get when your married to a farmer! I would have to say that my best “vacation” was the 3-week mission tour I took to Arizona (from WV) the summer of my 10th grade year with a group of 19 people from multiple churches all over the state. I got to see the Grand Canyon, Green Lake Wisconsin, and so many different landscapes you don’t see when living in WV.
I’ve been blessed with some great vacations. Ireland and Italy were two of my favorites. I’ve never been to Florida other than to an airport to fly out. This sounds amazing. However, If I won, I’d probably give it to my daughter and son-in-law who lost their first baby. I think they could use a get-away. =)
Best vacation was a trip to Duck, NC!
So far my favorite vacation was to Paris with my sister. A once in a lifetime opportunity!!
Roche Harbor in Washington State was my favorite vacation. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL there in the San Juan Islands.
