Favorite Vacation Spot

Alaska.
So far, we've seen 5 or 6 coastal towns. Working on seeing the interior next .
Been to 3 or 4 towns with no salt water access. Tourists are there, but not the typical heavy ratio of weak/stupid/disgusting humans that are present in most vacation areas.
 
Black Butte Ranch for sure. We don't quite have the funds to live there but the doctor my mom works for is retirement age and always let's us use his place in the summer. Lots of swimming, fishing, barbecuing and relaxing.
 
Jasper National Park and Banff National Park is Alberta Canada.
Singapore
Malaysia
I really enjoyed the Black Hillls of South Dakota. First time I ate Buffalo burgers and also Buffalo Ribs in SD. :) We also went to the Badlands in South Dakota as well.
We drove to Jasper and Banff and then took the Kingsgate border crossing into Idaho so and saw various sites within Idaho.
Utah Zion National Park. I have family in Utah so I enjoy going to Utah occasionally.
Arizona - Grand Canyon
 
I don't think I have had a vacation since entering my adult aged years. But as a youngster, I would sometimes get to vacate the homestead for an all-inclusive(as long as I did my chores) …week or two stay with my Aunt and Uncle at the remote off-grid (we didn't call it that back then) vacation farm on their Dickey Lake property.

There were no other humans on the lake… nor anywhere else near to it. I would get up and do many of the same chores that I would do on the homestead… but was free from my sibling, and the breakfast menu included PIE! Black Berry, Cherry, Apple, Huckleberry, Blue Berry, Raspberry, Rhubarb Custard. No…not all of them. But sometimes had the choice between two types.

Soooo, I guess it really wasn't a traditional vacation. I think I may have been off-loaded and/or farmed out… but in the eyes of a kid, pie for breakfast and fishing during lunch was as "vacation" as it can get.

Maybe someday, in the near future, I will schedule a vacation….and you can be sure that it will involve pie.

Edit to add some screenshots from aerial... The property was sold decades ago and there looks to be some changes around the lake. The dock, gardens, and orchard no longer exist. And it looks like there is some small development on the south-end of the lake.

For me? I'm a simpleton, my favorite and most visited vacation spot is Christmas Valley/Fort Rock area here in Orygun. I've been looking at properties over there to go and just "get away". I have plans, a tractor, and minimal ambition but sure I can make a fun spot over there :D
 
Tomorrow and Thursday Coos Bay, Monday and Tuesday La Push,
next weekend Netarts Bay. Anywhere on the Oregon or Washington
coast to fish and crab.
This fall deer and elk hunting on notellum creek.

Try and get on some silvers. I'm seeing some phenomenal cohos coming in from the commercial boats off the coast right now.
 
Wallace is neat little laid back town in the 'Pan handle" of Idaho...
Friendly folks...an excellent brewery...great restaurants , cool little shops...all nested in the mountains.

Love Wallace ID we go there every year. It is also the center of the universe. And it is at the north end of
"The Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's" a 73 mile paved bike path no hills!
Beer Olympics at Wallace bars. You can walk around town with an open container of alcohol!

VN or Thailand. The cost of hotels and food are cheap enough. Call it, suitable and sustainable for me and the GF. That is……since we're spending a month at a time over there.

Aloha, Mark

My wife and I enjoy going to the south coast just due to the fact that I would rather put up with a long drive instead of crowds like anything mid coast or north
 
I've been in 45 of the 50 states. Parts of Canada and Jamaica. I have no desire to visit Mexico or Hawaii.
Now, any remote camping place in the woods would be fine with me.
Really no favorite place.
 
Sanibel Island/Captiva. West coast of Florida just off Ft Meyers Beach (by causeway). The best place in the US to pick up shells (throw the live ones back please). Great beaches too Kayaking in the Ding Darling Preserve
