We don't have time for favorite songs on vacation. We are busy being on vacation.

Depends on where we are going, but Buffett &amp; Harry Chapin get a lot of play time on the way to the Beach.

Does anyone know when the Electric Slide and the Macarina will permenantly die and go away?

Road trips: We like a variety of music.

Nothing like hearing &quot;Sitting on the Dock of a Bay&quot; while on a beach vacation!

A little Carlos Santana for south of the border trips!

And of course, in the caribbean, something sounding tropical(steel drum band) while sipping a frozen something or other.

When we go to Hawaii, I guess I am looking forward to hearing hawaiian music!

Riding with the King - Eric Clapton and BB King - bringing it to upcoming Seychelles catamaran trip/Tanzanian safari.

Best listened to while sipping a coctail.


Callaloo Feb 2nd, 2006 06:18 AM

&quot;Lovely Cruise&quot; by Jimmy Buffett.

Since many of my vacations are sailing trips, it's a song I like to play as we are returning to the dock after our &quot;cruise.&quot;

Passe em Casa by Tribalistas. Really, the whole Tribalistas album. Heard them first on honeymoon in Italy, and it is now my favorite travel cd of all time. Of course, I can't understand a single word since it's all sung in Portugese, but that's part of the charm. :)

Callaloo, that's funny - we play our tune when leaving the dock. Are we perhaps, creatures of habit :D

Rocky Mountain High and Sunshine on my Shoulders, by John Denver.

When you go on road trips, you have plenty of time to listen to music!

Utahtea...and over a dozen John Denver CD's!

Even with XM radio, I still have to have The Allman Brothers &quot;A Decade of Hits 1969-1979&quot; in the car. Great road songs and &quot;In Memory of Elizabeth Reed&quot; was the inspiration for my screen name.

A fave vacation song is the live version of &quot;24 Hours at a Time&quot; by the Marshall Tucker Band (from the 1974 album &quot;Where We All Belong&quot;). Cruise control is required because it's too easy to bury the needle with this song.

Agree on the John Denver idea. Vacation is the only time I listen to him.

J_Correa Feb 2nd, 2006 07:38 AM

We listen to a lot of Carlos (Santana) and Bob (Marley) on our car trips.

As we approach the beach I always get out my Jimmy Buffett.

As a kid I can remember driving through West Virginia and singing &quot;Take Me Home Country Road&quot; by John Denver. We'd all sing at the top of our lungs and had so much fun!

&quot;Holiday&quot; by Weezer.

Worktowander Feb 2nd, 2006 08:58 AM

A little Elton John for the plane ride.

For packing, nothing tops Steppenwolf.

&quot;Get your motor runnin'...&quot;

If I Were a Carpenter by Johnny Cash. With five kids and a wife, my three weeks vacation are a respite from achaotic world. I also listen to Jimmy Buffet and the Mamas and Papas when on vacation.

We always have that old Kenny Rogers' song You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille. The kids substitute Loose Wheel for Lucille because we lost a tire one time while playing this song. From when the kids were very little, we cannot get on an airplane without singing &quot;Up We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder&quot;. Nearby passengers used to smile when the girls were 2 &amp; 5, now they're 15 &amp; 18, we get the weirdo looks.

When we traveled three weeks in Alaska, I listened to every John Denver song I had on CD and tape. He has 3 songs just about Alaska and so many more than apply to scenic wonderlands.
