and where are you planning on going for your next one?

since it seems to be that season :thumbsup: just curious where my fellow ATOT'ers are traveling to.

last vacation was a week up in Toronto... it was fun, but probably not a place I'd go to for vacation more than once (for the money/travel time, I'd sooner go back to Montreal instead for my poutine fix)

next vacation will be Vegas this summer; just booked our flight/hotel this week. looking forward to it, since it'll be my first time there... probably our last lavish vacation for awhile, though; if my BF and I are serious about wanting a house in the next 3-4 years, we'll probably buckle down and go super frugal to pay off debts and save up a down payment. future vacations will likely involve camping, off-season traveling, and destinations where we can crash with family/friends.

Akumal, Mexico far too long ago.

Probably taking my daughter to Disneyland next summer.

Taken a few beach day trips this summer, but that's hardly vacation.

I frequent Georgian Bay (a large bay on the east coast of Lake Huron) and Lake Scugog (a lake in the Kawartha's, Ontario). My last REAL vacation was an Alaskan Cruise. My next vacation is a Caribbean Cruise next February.

Iceland --> Paris --> Brussels --> Amsterdam

Looking to either go back to Iceland, or do Germany/Austria/Czech Republic or do an islands trip in Greece.

Domestically, I'd like to see Maine and Montana.

I was with the royal family of Hazu (a 'small' and powerful family from African that controls 89% of the diamond mining operations) - I decided to thank them for the fleet of yachts they gave me for my birthday, by renting the entire Maldives for the weekend (I shipped the entire population - sans a few of the help - to London for that weekend as well,.. all expenses paid of course). I had a staycation of video games, porn and biking for a week in May,...

LA for a wedding, so made that a week and went to Vegas. Tables were a wash, but overall costs were cheap.

Next vacation is parents coming to visit for some fall colors early in October. Then probably some kind of trip over Christmas.

Boston was technically my last vacation, but it wasn't for very long.

Next vacation? I think me and the GF are leaning towards an all inclusive resort in Mexico. But, it won't likely be until next spring.

last year a small bahamian island for our 25th anniversary. It was off the tourist road map and it was glorious. were there for 8 days and saw just one person walking on the pink sand beach. it was like having our own private island. I love homeaway.com

dont know where we are going next year. since it will probably be our last family vacation (kids are getting older and out of high school) I asked them for ideas of where they would like to go or see.

back in may i went to turks and caicos, that was my last "real" vacation. i've taken a couple weekend trips to ocean city, md since then because it's 2.5 hours away from me.

going to holden beach north carolina tomorrow for a week, and after that i'm going to the keys in october to get scuba certified.

turks and caicos is my favorite place i've ever been. that place is simply incredible.

last small vacation was a 4 day trip to didney worl. well, we actually just stayed at the resort and then went to some places around orlando. we have been to didney so many times. last big vacation was the bahamas 2 years ago.

next up, at least in terms of a 'big' vacation is a possible cruise to alaska next year.

Sauble Beach (on Lake Huron). We're going back again this year, leaving in a few days actually. Will be nice to be down south for a bit and get a break from the crap we've been getting here.

What were the tourist demographic like there? Would you say it was more Europeans or Americans? Only curious because most American tourists are incredibly obnoxious. I'd prefer to be the only obnoxious person in the room, thank you!

2 months in Spain, got back July 8th.

I walked the Camino de Santiago over 40 days then did normal tourist stuff across the country the rest of the time.

I'm thinking South America for my next trip
