Poll question: Best vacation destination in the US?

Where do DUers like to go on vacation?
I live in San Diego and thats tough to beat. So my favotite vacation areas are the Bay Area and New England.

[beyurslf]

1. I like Chicago

[maveric]

2. I loved Chicago.

The problem was that I visited there in February. Very, very COLD!

[XemaSab]

3. Texas and New England were fun and I really enjoy California

But the winner has to be Arizona.

:bounce:

[bigwillq]

28. What part of NE

did you go to? :shrug:

[Blue_In_AK]

[XemaSab]

[Michigander4Dean]

8. Mackinac Island, MI

Beautiful.

[realisticphish]

14. I LOVE macinac island

I'm a history buff, and both the mainland and island forts are fascinating. If they didn't charge you your soul to stay in the Grand Hotel, i'd give it a try

[Jade Fox]

22. My dad worked on the Mackinac Bridge......

helped build it, that is.

[gollygee]

26. My vote too

I'm glad to live in Michigan where there are so many fabulous vacation spots close by. The Traverse City area is another one.

[AllegroRondo]

27. Go during the lilac festival in June

the whole island is purple and white. Beautiful.

[yellowdogintexas]

9. Florida Keys are awesome.

However, I will point out one spot not on the list which I just love:
YELLOWSTONE and the surrounding region.

Wyoming/Montana/Idaho is extraordinarily beautiful;


In Grand Teton National Park: (Mt Moran, actually)

Yellowstone:

[av8rdave]

12. The Keys are one of my favorites

Love Key West, in 2 or 3 day doses.

[kwassa]

18. Key West is surprisingly varied

from low life to sophisticated eateries, from interesting historical neighborhoods to party-till-you-puke kinda things.

We found a Victorian B&B on a beach, which ain't easy.

[av8rdave]

23. We always stay at a little place on Simonton St

Called the Merlin Inn. Something between an Inn and a B&B.

[SteppingRazor]

48. I always stay at Eden House when I'm down there:

It's the best.

[kwassa]

[Shine]

20. for the beaches, the surf, the redwoods, the mountains, the hiking

the Mystery Spot, the Boardwalk, the medical marijuana...

B-)

you'll be amused to know I was a student at UCSC the year they took on the lowly Banana Slug as their official mascot. Only in Santa Cruz.....:eyes:

[maveric]

15. I did the US 1 trip last December. It was awesome!

:thumbsup:

[Gormy Cuss]

It was recommended by friend who was raised in Omaha. Hands down the best meal we had on a very long I-80 trip.

[huskerlaw]

Yeah...Omaha...that's it! :puke:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

29. How is Vegas not on this list!?!

[derby378]

33. My wife and I got married in Vegas...

...on April Fools' Day, 2000. It was a hoot. We even had the ceremony braodcast on the Internet.

[Schema Thing]

44. A gangster's pre-fab dream plopped onto barren desert ground?

ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

can I get you a whore, sir?

Welcome to Vegas, please act badly in ways you are to chickenshit to act out in your own hometown.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

45. If they had casinos in my hometown, I wouldn't be chickenshit to use them.

Sorry, but you pulled that response out of your ass completely.

[Schema Thing]

46. That is a matter for debate

:cheers:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

47. Says who?

What the fuck do you know about me? Absolutely nothing. You can feel free to go fuck yourself.

[Schema Thing]

49. Chill.

I know you like Vegas, that's about it.

I don't like Vegas, and I know that puts me in a rather small minority (which makes me cooler, btw, but that also is a matter for debate :7).

The concept of "what happens here, stays here", is indeed a chickenshit concept, however.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

50. I don't disagree with that

But you've managed to call ME a chickenshit, which is why I take umbrage to your remarks.

[Schema Thing]

54. Sorry then, I meant to editorialize on Vegas

and used your initial comment in this thread as a launching point. I apologize, I didn't mean to call you names.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

55. It's cool

Water under the bridge. :toast:

[LynneSin]

30. DELAWARE

Seriously - not kidding
Stop laughing
Aw, you're just mean

[Beaverhausen]

42. I'm going to Rehoboth Beach on vacation in October!

Delaware- Small Wonder!

I'm a U of D grad! :hi:

[DrGonzoLives]

31. Other

Why in the hell would you go from one city to another on a vacation?

Out in nature with few people around is what I call a vacation.

[AllieB]

32. Cape Cod, especially the Outer Cape

where the crowds are smaller. :-)

[Arugula Latte]

34. The Southwest National Parks are incredible.

Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, Arches -- AMAZING scenery.

I love the Bay Area, but I grew up there, so I don't view it as vacation area so much as visiting home and family.

[noonwitch]

35. Grandpa's house

On the Old Mission Penninsula, just north of Traverse City, MI.

[AngryAmish]

The coast of CA is really spectacular.
