I've been very lucky in that I get to go on a lot of trips for the bank. Some really great places, Boston, Las Vegas, San Diego, New Orleans. Some places surprised me, Lincoln, Neb., Phoenix (thought I would hate it, but I loved it a lot). Some not so great places, Nashville, Norman. But I went to Cape Cod on a conference four years ago and have returned every year since on vacation. I love it there and dream of retiring there. As a matter of fact I only have to work 16 more days before the SportsRadio adjustment will be made (Red Sox="us", Yankees="them" makes my husband crazy)

I loved Nashville! I went a few years ago on vacation. It's a beautiful city with lots to see and do. The country around it is great too.

But the highways around Nashville are bad. Brand new 6 lane smashes down to two lane in less than a mile. I never drive thru there without having to waste an hour due to accidents.

I would have to say Kauai, Maui, Oahu, The Big Island in that order. The family loved the scuba diving, I loved the "drink of the day while watching the sunset".

Dawnie, just look at all the work you can get done during the sunny months. You don't have to rush to cut the grass before the sun goes down and the mosquitoes attack.

I feel like I lost about a pint of blood last night thanks to them.

I've been to more exotic places, but it must be that I consider "the best" as the places I go most often:
*Fripp Island, SC and
*Lake Lure, NC.

That must be one really big drink, or is it just a continuous bottle of pinot?

I love my wine, but something about the Islands screams for drinks with umbrellas in it.

Ken - my brother, sister-in-law, nephew, niece and now great-nephew go to Fripp Island every summer. They just love it there.

I have to agree with Flagstaff/Williams Az...The Grand Canyon!
However, one year we drove from Chicago to Dallas to Orlando and what a beautiful country we live in...then of course back to Chicago was full of corn...corn and more corn!

Ours are tough, they're out when the sun is up or down or well..pretty much anytime. We have three types of mosquitos, the first small ones "No see um's" which don't bite, then the middle size ones, which bite a lot! and then the big ones, who gave up biting for Lent I guess.

When I first moved to Alaska I was with BofA who had a "Return calls before the sun goes down" rule. I was completely thrilled with the idea that I didn't need to return calls made in May until Late October!
