Best Vacation EVER...

[Deedee]

Starting to get beach fever and looking for ideas... 

Here have been some of mine:

For romance and/or just spending a week lying on the beach in a coma: British Virgin Islands.  There were beaches where you wouldn’t see a single person for what seemed like miles, plus we stayed in one of these bungalow things built into the mountain so you never had to see anyone if you didn't want to... plantation doors in the shower opened onto a view of the ocean, yet it was totally private - no one could see you.

For Great things to do: Cayman Islands ranks up there for snorkeling and diving, plus you don’t have to make a big production of getting onto a boat etc... you can fall into the water from shore in a number of places. Plus there’s a great gym!!! Very civilized.

Skiing: Zermatt has to be among the most beautiful places to ski in the world...

Any suggestions for winter getaways... I'm starting to be more obsessed the closer winter gets here.

That sounds great!  Do you have any further info on that place?

One of my best vacations was when we went to St. Maartin.  ONe day we took a boat over to Anguilla.  It was gorgeous .... I can see spending an entire vacation there.

Another favorite wasn't a beach vacation, but when we went to wine country in Napa Valley.  We went in July though.

I've never had a vacation or a vocation.   xL



but happy holidays!

[Deedee]

I'll dig it out the info STella.

Actually Napa Valley is always something I wanted to do too! Friends who went had an amazing time. They also went in July or Aug I think...

My friends from NY moved to the Nappaville Valley, CA. and had twins...



I hope it's nice there...

London, England is fun.  Especially at Christmas.  No beaches though.

Sent my mother there for her 70th birthday.  She loved it. 

My good friend raves about Palau. 

Cannot go wrong with Hawaii either.  There are beaches here that are beautiful and relatively empty.

I want to go to Paris in the Spring.  I've never been to Paris and I must be the only English person to have not done so.


I've been saving it till I fell in love.  I think I'll have to do it on my own, it's only a trainride nowadays.

I've been to your paradise... it was beautiful!  Took a helicopter ride over several volcanoes, as well as waterfalls... I will never forget that. It was spectacular!

Hawaii

I'll never make it to Hawaii and I would have loved to.  I never met anyone from there.


I don't do tourist.

Awesome.  I'll never get tired of it.  I've hiked the volcano and the lava tubes, but never taken the helicopter rides.  Too risky for me.     We have hundreds of small waterfalls throughout the mountain ranges whenever it rains.

The views throughout the islands are simply stunning.  This is paradise for a beach bum.

I guess it's like Canada and noone ever leaves.  Why would you.  Permanent best vacation ever...

[xxxLinda]

I went to Vancouver Island BC 3x, not on holiday but to visit my dad.  If you ever get a chance or half a chance, go there.


big purple and orange starfish in the morning.  awesome.  mountains and thousands of islands.  I saw the phosphoresnce, I spent an entire night at the full moon in a fishing boat.  The guy said "Don't fall off"  & wouldn't have known if I did.

and that big Pacific.

most beautifull place i've ever been..

I absolutely love Maui, but the best vacation ever was when we included a week on Molokai at the Ranch.  Horseback riding everyday, mountain biking,  beaches, sunshine, very laid back...  Nothing whatsoever to do (outside of your room  ) after dark though.

Which camp?  I've stayed there twice in a "tentalope."     One of my favorites too.  Did the rodeo roundup, kayaking, hiking, etc.  Also had a cow attack me when I was trying to pass her while riding a mountain bike uphill.  She had a calf and thought I was threatening it while trying to pass.  Two of the most enjoyable vacations I've ever had.

Well, if I'm gonna travel that far for a vacation, I sure as hell am not staying in a tent  Yes, I know, they're "luxury" tents  ~ We stayed in the lodge.  It was wonderful! 

[Deedee]

They all sound great... and that pic of the mountain range in Pakistan is gorgeous too!

STella -- the place I was talking about on Virgin Gorda was the Bitter End Yacht Club. We were planning to stay in the bungalow thingy for two days to get our bearings then stay on a sailboat... except we all got so lazy and it was so comfy, we nixed the sailing (except for day trips) and flopped around the beach.  It's not ultra luxury, but being on top of the ocean like that was beautiful.

Also gorgeous, where I've stayed twice, once for work, was a place called Little Dix Bay.  Absolutely beautiful... and long, empty stretches of beach. The spa package was great! I've heard this is where New Yorkers come to get over their nervous breakdowns. The pic is the beach there.

lol.  Chicken!     Afraid of the open air bathroom or something?  I had a mouse on my bed once.  Good thing I was checking out.  The food was awesome.

Or perhaps you're too big to fit on a seat?
