The Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur is definitely my favorite. Others that came close-- renting a villa in Tuscany and staying at Cap Juluca in Anguilla. Overall though, The Post Ranch was perfection for me.

My favorite vacation spot is on my lake in Michigan. Everytime I return and in every season I feel like I'm home. And since I bought it, I am.

Too many others through out the world for me to have a true favorite while traveling. I love drives like Go Travel's, exactly.

wagonwheel, that sounds beautiful. I am going to have to look into that, sounds like an ideal place for me and my family to visit one day. Hmm....

I haven't been many places outside of the U.S. but I have been to Scotland and just loved it. The countryside is like no other! I love London also. Stateside my favorite vacation spot would be San Diego with the Florida panhandle (Ft. Walton beach area) a very close second.

The North Carolina beaches and southern shore of Lake Superior.

Hawaii gets my vote. It truly is Paradise for me. Whether its the ocean or a nice pool, being in the water heals me. I'm always happy and relaxed in Hawaii. I love the people, the food, the scenery. (Everything but the prices!) Maui is my favorite, but the Big Island is growing on me. Wish I could spend lots more time there.

Nice thread, dgib, love reading everyone's choices.

Spain, Italy, and France...not necessarily in that order.

Oh, I forgot to say why, but I assume my name gives it away...

I agree with Girlonthego, still looking. I love so many places can't even list them all here. Pretty much wherever we are headed for a few days off, that is my favorite spot. Just love to go and "be" on vacation...

Edinburgh Scotland is the most beautiful City with the most to do, if you can plan your holidays around their festival schedule; for the complete other end of the vacation spectrum I really do like Orlando.

City I could never get tired of visiting (and I've been there eight times):
New York

City I most enjoyed visiting, even though it was only once:
Paris
(If you want to say I also will never get tired of visiting Paris, fine. But *I* don't know that)

Most beautiful natural wonder:
Tie between Grand Canyon and Yosemite

Best overall outdoor experience:
Alaska

Most romantic spot:
Hawaii

Dodos_World,

I have to agree if you're talking one city, Edinburgh is the most magical one I've been to so far (although I have to say I haven't been to that many top contenders outside the U.S., e.g., Venice).
