Where is your favorite vacation spot and why?

[DFWJC]

Costa Rica--various locations

Nowhere cold. I love to visit beautiful colder places a few times ( Alaska was amazing) but I'll take beautiful and comfortable.

Ketchikan and Skagway Alaska were both nice and not too cold

Cozumel is pretty and probably nicer in the winter.

BBNP is great unless it's summer.

I avoid Hot Springs at all cost as it's way too crowded.

I always dreamed of the Florida Gulf coast until I went.
Massively overcrowded and expensive until you get past Port St Joe headed east.

I have several, but here are a few (and there are more on my bucket list as well):

Turner Falls, Oklahoma: It's a wonderful camping area when it's not too crowded...that is why I usually camp there off-season

Hanauma Bay (On Oahu), Hawaii: Really, there are a lot of attractions on Oahu, but Hanauma Bay is prob my fav one there. Wonderful snorkeling.

Colorado (too many interesting places in the state to list here, really, but I'll post a good attraction)

Centro Astronómico Alfa Aldea – Vicuña, Chile: The astronomy in this part of Chile is astounding. There are a lot of interesting places to visit in the area and the landscape is beautiful, but the main attraction is the astronomy.

Myles Standish State Forest- Plymouth, Ma: This is a gorgeous, peaceful place to spend time and exploring historic parts Plymouth is close enough visit too.

Cancun, Mexico: Cancun itself is alright I guess, but it's the attractions near that are great. Chichen Itza, Cozumel, Isla Mujeres

It's between Cozumel, Grand Cayman, (scuba diving & snorkeling) and Rome. Rome and it's history is just flat out awesome.

I find Cozumel kind of a dump, but the snorkeling there is awesome.

US Virgin Islands.
Stayed at Bolongo Bay resort on St Thomas a few year ago and loved it.

...and I figured your for a Gitmo guy.

There are several small town areas on the Yucatan Peninsula that are nice, and I prefer along the coast.

I mentioned Cozumel because as it's an island it's generally insulated from some of the problems found on the mainland.

Graceland...Elvis.
also...my wife and I got married there 4yrs ago.

Naples,Fl...beaches and warm water in the gulf...paradise on earth.

Naples is one of favorite places, great food beautiful area.

Agreed. I don't like Cancun at all, but Playa del Carmen was really nice. Though I just avoid Mexico like the plague these days due to all the M13 and other cartel killings and attacks on tourist.

One doesn't go to Cozumel for the land activities
