Next trip is New Orleans next week for Quarter Fest. Why, because we try and go every year. It's a great time to visit.
Last three trips, Belize last month, Grenada in January and Isla Mujeres last December. Jean

1. Our next trip is Chicago (April 21-25).
2. Because we have never been. My husband retired last January, and we are trying to see places we've never been.
3. The last 3 places we've been are Arizona/New Mexico, Boston, New Orleans. (Husband went to Costa Rica with friends in February for a fishing trip- and we did Savannah for a weekend in January) We had such a good time at all our destinations, that I really can't rate them...they were each fun in their own way.

1. Israel and the Mediterranean, leave in four days.
2. To see new family members (as in newly arrived) before they're too big to give sass. Then to get on a cruise ship and turn off the TV.
3a. New Orleans/Mississippi Delta/Memphis, Thanksgiving 2003. Wow. Did a trip report.
3b. Anchorage, August 2003, for god-daughter's wedding. Still feels like home.
3c. Las Vegas, Christmas 2003. Because when you think of Christmas, where else could you possibly consider?

Geez mine are tame compared to everyone else!!
1. Miami and Puerto Rico in 2 weeks for about 3 days in Miami and a week in PR.
2. Going to PR because I haven't seen my extended family in 7 years. Added Miami because it's on the way and gives me a chance to enjoy being alone and doing nothing.
3. There are no least favorites...last 3 were Washington DC (twice), Boston and Miami (South Beach). Picking a different area of Miami this time as I liked other parts better.
This doesn't include 2 weekend trips to Hunter Mtn for skiing and Mystic, CT for gambling nearby, both done recently.

Next trip is Vegas. Looking forward to staying at the Bellagio for my birthday! When you get over 40 you have to go on a trip to celebrate - it hurts less
We have never been to Vegas, it has always been on our to do list.
After that we are going to Biras Creek, BVI for a week or so, we may go to WDW after that since its just a short flight. Biras is one of our favorite destinations, like a second home. After that we are going to Hawaii/Maui for 12 days (AmEx points - Yeah
Our last three:
Just retruned from a 7 day Celebrity Cruise on the Century (western caribbean) and 5 days at Universal Studios/Portofino Hotel. We had a great time and did not want our vacation to end so we went to Universal and rode the rides and screamed until our heads fell off! I am still rocking like I'm on the ship
Late November 2003 we spent 2 weeks on Anguilla at Cap Juluca-- we also go there often and love it.
In May of 2003 one we went to Atlantis Bahamas/Disney World/Sanibel Captiva. We first flew to Atlantis stayed for 4 days, then took a short flight to Orlando and stayed at the Grand Floridian for 5 days. We then rented a car and drove to South Seas Plantation and stayed for 5 days. We love Florida, this was a fun trip too.
I can't say I have a favorite destination - as long as we have a trip booked, that one is our "new" favorite!

1. In about 3 weeks we leave for Ecuador and the Galapagos, right after we will head straight to Jamaica, and then upstate NY before coming home to LA.
2. The Galapagos has always been on my wish list and we finally decided to go this year. The Jamaica trip is for our anniversary and was planned last year (same place where we spent our honeymoon). Two months ago we found out my sister in law is getting married in NY. So it all somehow got strung together into one big extended trip!
3. Austria/Germany/London
Oahu/Big Island
Vancouver

Next trip:
NYC in May. It's a business trip, so I didn't do much choosing, but I'm really looking forward to it.
Last 3 trips:
- Best was Big Island, Hawaii for 11 days in Nov/Dec.
- Next best was Phoenix -> Sedona -> Grand Canyon -> Flagstaff last week.
- third was a 40+ hour driving trip through Texas to see family around Christmas. I love my family, but it's a hard trip to make.

1. Kauai for 8 days in June
2. Because we loved Maui so much last summer and we're looking forward to hiking and snorkeling the daylights out of Kauai. Am waiting for Kauai and its scattered lagoons and fringing reef to turn completely into Tahiti because the airfare is cheaper.
3. Maui
Miami/Keys
Seattle
I obviously have a tropical bent, but did enjoy Seattle a lot over the New Year, AND it snowed in the city, my very first falling snow which was very cool. Spend a lot of time in Santa Cruz CA which I guess lots of people consider a vacation spot, which was funny when we considered how sad we were returning to SC from Maui last summer (boyfriend lives in SC). We spend a lot of time in SF too and are always discovering something new and wonderful, along with old favorites.

1. Next family trip is to Cape Canaveral, Ft. Lauderdale, and Keys in June. Can't wait!
2. We love the beach. It's the most relaxing vacation for us. We like to take our kids to different places, but we seem to gravitate to the beaches in Florida most often. Our job pretty much dictates when we can vacation and it's the end of June or early August.
3. Last three family vacations listed in order of preference: St. Pete Beach, FL; Colorado (Estes Park & Mesa Verde); Destin, FL.
Next year I'm going to look into a cruise or all-inclusive resort in Mexico or Carribean. Thanks to Fodors for the wonderful help. I've so enjoyed researching our vacation this year!

1. Next trip is San Francisco. Next BIG trip is Fiji/Australia!
2. San Francisco is a well-timed seminar that's being extended for some site-seeing. Fiji/Australia is for my honeymoon, VERY hard to choose. Initially wanted to go to New Zealand, but the timing would put us there in the peak of winter, so change of plans.
3. Last 3 were: Hawaii (Big Island, Maui, Oahu), San Diego, Boston & Cape Cod (liked Boston but Cape Cod was a big YAWN).

Going to Florida in 2 weeks with a friend to visit another friend who has a condo on the beach at Singer Island. Chose it because we have been planning a get together for months, but have a hard time coordinating our schedules. Friend will be coming back north for the summer in early May so we had to go soon.
Going to Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills of South Dakota with my daughter for a 4 day trip over Memorial Day weekend. Both of us have always wanted to see Mt. Rushmore, the Badlands, and the Black Hills but flying to Rapid City is expensive from here. I got an offer from United to take their credit card. By paying the $60 annual fee I received a free companion ticket. Not many deals are available to fly to SD so we decided we should take advantage. This is the only time we can go this year. Already have plans to visit SF, Yosemite, and the Monterey area when daughter has vacation time in September.
Last 3 trips: NYC last October. Went with 6 friends and had a marvelous time. Can't wait to go back and see all of the things we missed the first time.
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Washington DC, and other Civil War sights last September. Daughter and I are history buffs and she is especially interested in the Civil War.
Last May we went to Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods,Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, Canyon de Chelly, Painted Desert, and Petrified Forest. We love the Southwest and plan to go back next year to see more of the things we have missed. That will be our fourth trip to the area - there is so much to see.

BI of Hawaii in May - Our 10th wedding anniversary. I can't wait!... Is strange that I'm already fearing the withdrawals of coming back and not having anything to look forward to?
Scottsdale - Great Golf
Orlando - It was Fun
Atlanta - Used to live there... glad I don't anymore.
