Number 1 was my Honeymoon...In Cozumel, Mexico.

Stayed at the Plaza Los Glorias.

We are both Certified Scuba Divers...Cozumel is one of the best Dive destinations in the world.

It has Drift diving which means all you have to do is drop in the Ocean and float by things.

It's protected so nobody can hunt there...So Everthing grows BIG.

We saw Lobsters as big as small dogs...A Black tip Shark..Cool! And 150lb Grouper...Which our divemaster gave shrimp over our shoulders!

I got chased by a Barracuda...I was feeding the fish Sausages as we were snorkeling and shouldn't have been.

Beautiful Island and GREAT local food!

I have Many others with my Wife...

Elaborate please...How many kids do you have? When did you go?

What were their favorite rides?

We went there for free in Nov 05...On Progressive Insurance...I loved the Raiders of the Lost Ark Ride.

Have you ever been to Disneyworld?

My favorite vacation was 9 years ago. My wife and I were looking for something different. We'd both been to various spots all over the world together or apart and couldn't decide on a destination so we did something offbeat, we left our house with no specific destination and no specific return date. The only two rules we had were no interstate highways and as soon as one person said they wanted to go home we would.

Most relaxing time I've ever enjoyed. We were gone for 3 1/2 weeks. Some days we'd play 54 holes of golf, then not golf again for a week. We spent nights at $1000 a day resorts and a $13 dollar motel outside of the Great Smokies (that was something, the shower was a rusty pipe coming out of the wall in the cement block bathroom, no stall or anything). We hit every state east of the Mississippi except Louisiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Maine.

One day we didn't see anything interesting enough to stop at so we drove like 14 hours straight, other times we'd stay in some backwater for a couple of days just hanging out.

Saw some amazing things like a moonbow at a state part in Kentucky (I think), watching dolphins from a hot tub in the Outer Banks, surprisingly learning my wife didn't know how to ice skate at the top of the ski lift in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, even getting hustled for more than the price of a good used car on a golf course in Alabama.

I can't wait until the kids are gone until I can do it again.

cancun. moon palace resort, all inclusive. i drank enough my 1st day to impress people from every continant and my friend who was more like a brother always wanted to see me shame people there. he goes to that same place each and every summer for 2 weeks. that was his 40th birthday celebration.

i hate beaches, sun sux - but it was his 40th, i'd never been, he always wanted to see me flat out SMOKE everyone around, so i went. and i did to the point where the bartenders had a worried look in their eye and no one could believe i was still coherant.

he saw me smoke everyone and no one even came close. it was also the last day he ever had w/o pain before passing away a few months later from a series of strokes that started small the very next day in cancun.

not many things could have ever gotten me to a beach. now i'm forever grateful i went.

2 girls, their first time, 11 and 7. Two years ago this April.

I should have also said that we drove down to San Diego and went to Sea World the same vacation.

Personal vacation my favorite would be deep sea fishing off H & M Landing in San Diego for 4 days.

:D That made me think of the time My wife and I went for our Th Anniversary to the El Dorado Resort...It's about 1 hour South of Cancun.

All Inclusive and a Beautiful wonderful place.

Anyway One of the Nights I was Hammered and we had just had a nice dinner and walked outside. This place had one pool that had a pole like a balance beam running across it. People from around the globe were all betting each other that they could cross it and not fall in.

So I just HAD to protect my Country's Honor...So all cocky like I proceeded to cross it and fall in...My wife got a BIG laugh out of it and I just Know all those people were saying in their Different launguages...Stupid Cocky American!:D

My wife and I have done that before...Just take off and go...No plans...We've had very good times doing that.

Same for me.

Old Tucson used to be one of my favorite places before it burned down and was rebuilt.

I also loved San Diego.

For the last 7 years almost all of my vacations have included the in-laws so they could have been better. My favorite ones are the ones where I do nothing for a week :D

That's funny, 'cus I heard when they declared YS a National Park, they had to void your claim of "Squatter's Rights"?

:p:
