Just curious do you have a favorite place you travel each year. If yes, where is your yearly destination? Also, do people give you a lot of flack because you go to the same place yearly. We love Vegas and have been going there for the past 4 years. Lately friends have been telling us don't you want to go somewhere different for a change. We love Vegas, and could go there on a yearly basis!

I practically refuse to go ANYWHERE more than twice.
It'll take me a few more years to exhaust the main list of places I still want to visit but haven't.
I've hit 49 of the US states and most of the really major overseas travel destinations.
But there's still so much yet to see.
The only reason I will go to Vegas more than twice is that it keeps changing, but not yearly.
Vegas is the kind of place that doesn't expand your travel horizons, doesn't create many significant travel memories, and is kind of an unsophisticated place.
Going there over and over, *if you go nowhere else for vacations*, makes kind of a bad statement about someone, in my opinion.

I go back to the same old place when it's time for relaxing! I live in Massachusetts so my relaxing vacation is going to Cape Cod in the off season. I know where my favorite restaurants are, where my favorite beach is, etc...

Otherwise, I enjoy visiting new places.

May, I see nothing wrong with going to the same place each year. What's wrong having a favorite spot.Just because a person goes to Vegas yearly doesn't mean they have a problem? Sounds like you are going to hit the same places more than once since you've been all over the U.S and Europe!

People that own summer homes and winter homes seem to go to the same place year after year. If you enjoy Vegas, keep going, but there are so many other choices.

The only place I return year after year is a nearby island for a relaxing long weekend. Otherwise, I agree that my list of "must sees" is much too long to waste precious vacation money or time on visiting the same locations.

We have two places - Key Largo in the spring and New Orleans in the fall. Only 79 more days to Bourbon Street!

I go to Sanibel and Captiva Islands for a week every summer. I don't travel well and have a morbid fear of flying so this is the farthest plane ride I can muster and it's worth every terrifying minute.

Las Vegas in March if not London/Paris
Montreal in fall if not London/Paris/Italy.

We go away 4 times a year (ie for longer than a weekend). Twice to the same place and twice to two new places.

We have one spot we return to each year for a 4 day vacation out of necessity. My husbands family is quite spread and we only get to gether with his parents and siter and her husband oce a year. We all got to Sarasota and rent condos for 4 days over Thanksgiving. None of us live anywhere near ther but its a nice warm climate and great family place to spend the holiday.

We take another family vacation each year for a week going someplace new every time. Hubby and I also usally take a another 4 day getaway without the kids each year. Sometimes to a new place, sometimes to to a place we have been before like Vegas or NYC!

Yes, two places - Washington, DC and Las Vegas. Washington for family reasons and Las Vegas for spirit-freeing diversionary reasons. And yes, some people don't understand why (of course the 'family reasons' thing is socially "ok" and therefore understood, while spirit-freeing diversionary reasons isn't. (Are you dragging your friends with you to Las Vegas? If not, anything short of illigal, or them watching out for your safety or your health and welfare, (all of which by-the-way, I would find intrusive if offered any other way than clearly as advice) why should they care where you go or how often you go?)
If you or anyone else has a place in this world in which you can find refreshment for your body, sole and mind, go for it, be it a new, never-before-visited place or a recurring favorite.

We love Disneyworld and return there year after year. So what, people think we are nuts. Plus we have no kiddies. I am a Disney fanatic, and that's my favorite place. There are always adding new attractions anyway.

We have two places we return to every year, one for a long weekend, one for Thanksgiving. Then the rest of the time I am out exploring new places both close and far from home.

Repeat visits!!!
In the past 25 years, my husband & I have visited Seattle 15 times!!!
I could have changed destinations after about 10th. However, my husband likes going to places he knows, feels comfortable with surroundings and has favorite hotel in the city (Edgewater). "New" destinations make him nervous and if anything goes wrong, it ruins his trip and this unfortunately effects my
enjoyment. So rather than have these issues come up---We go to Seattle.....
P.S. We have been to Victoria and Buchart Gardens ---6 times..

There's just too much glorious scenery in the US alone for me to go back to the same place year after year.

My husband is also an unadventurous and "nervous" traveler. Every year I ask for his input, and he always wants "to go back to wherever again, you know, where we had that last great vacation". But because I refuse to go back to the same place year after year, he's gotten so much better about being open to new travel experiences, and in retrospect, really appreciates that he's been able to see so much more of the country. (We're only able to afford to travel once a year or so).

I still laugh about him and last year's vacation: I saved and planned for 3 yrs. for a "25th anniversary trip of a lifetime" for us - I'm thinking Europe, or Egypt, or New Zealand - he suggests Las Vegas! Well, we ended up having 10 absolutely glorious days on Oahu, and he loved it so much we're saving up to go again in '03 (but I won't take him back to the same place - am picking another island for the next trip.....)

There was a time, in my 20s,30s,40s, when I would never ever go to the same place twice. In fact my husband and I had fights about it because he always wanted to go back to the same place over and over again.

Now we've completely switched positions. I'm getting "nostalgic" for one place by the ocean that I would love to wake up in summer after summer; he's suddenly decided he wants to see Tahiti and Zamboanga before he dies.

We love to go back to the same place only because of comfort. We know the best places to eat and nicest hotels. So I can see if someone likes going to the same place every year. At least your not wasting your time and MONEY!!!

Yes sometimes, we do... Especially if there is a specific place we enjoy!

We love Vegas. We could go there on a yearly basis. Why not? Love the Rio!!
