What is the best vacation you have ever taken? (cruise, hotel, hotels)

Describe your favorite vacation of all time.
I have two. When I was little my family would get together at my uncles estate in St Joe, MI. It was an 8 bedroom "farmhouse" and we'd go horseback riding, apple and peach picking and star gazing on the roof. I remember there was a chicken called Rambo that used to terrorize us because he'd chase us all around the farm lol. I milked my first cow when I was 10 years old too- pretty neat
The 2nd one was when I took a cruise to Mexico, one of the excursions I went on was to see some Mexican ruins and ATV'ing in the jungle! We came out completely muddy and covered in HUGE bug bites but it was soooo worth it

The cruise to Bermuda. This was our first cruise, and it was very relaxing. I liked that Bermuda was so easy to get around because of the transportation system. Food was expensive on the island, so having meals on the ship was great. We have become very friendly with a couple who we met at our table in the dining room. We didn't spend a lot of money sightseeing or buying souvenirs, but it provided many nice memories.

SXM is always a great vacation, but one we do quite often. I may never take another Bermuda cruise, so that was very special.

What's a vacation

Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was a family trip, about 60 of us, we rented 3 large houses for a week. The kids loved the beach, never ran out of fun things to do. The houses sleep from 12 to about 20 people. All these years later the kids still talk about that vacation with all their cousins and aunts and uncles.

hmmmmmm... my most unforgettable vacation was when I was in Barcelona. The place is very great! I stayed in a Barcelona Hotel which is very comfortable. You will certainly feel that you're well served. The most enjoyable thing i did was taking a horseback riding. I never know how to ride a horse and I only experienced it in Barcelona. I even enjoy learning it. After a 3 days of learning, I got to make it all by myself. I and may friends went on hill sides by riding a horse. I really hope I could do it again. How about you? have you gone horseback riding?

Believe me or not, at 15 I crossed the USA coast-to-coast (in a pooled car with older guys I hardly knew) with 5$ in my pocket...it was awesome, even risky at times, and it's the only time in my life I got real HUNGRY (sweared it would NEVER happen to me again).
It's the most adventurous thing I ever did- I also stayed back then in communes in NYC and SF- then my mom and I hiked down to Baja ! and for me those traveling experiences as a teen remains unforgettable!

Flew into Seattle & rented a Subaru (now own a Subaru, loved it so much). Spent a few nights in Seattle... eating, drinking, seeing some live jazz, hanging out at Pike Place. Then drove out to Yakima and down to the Columbia River. Followed the river to the Columbia Gorge Hotel. Stayed there a few nights, checking out Hood River, going to various wineries, hiking, sitting by the river, eating, and drinking. Then drove to Portland, spent a couple of nights eating, drinking, and mooching about there. Home after that.

All of this occuring with barely a drop of rain during a not-to-chilly October. It was fantastic. I've been back out to the PacNW since then and cannot wait to go again.
