This question is so hard to answer. One of the best most carefree times I ever had on vacation was when I went with my dad to Cancun, MX. I was a teen, I went to college in a very cold place, and I asked him to take me to a place that was warm and sunny and I could get into the bars without being 21. It was perfect. Perfect weather, everything I asked for, I didn’t have to plan anything. I soaked up the vitamin D, went out dancing at night, one day we went to see pyramids. I had a great time. This was before Cancun was so built up, and as an adult I would not list it as a best vacation (I have been back in the last several years).
Another fantastic trip was an Alaskan cruise. I would do this again in a minute.
One last one I have to mention is when my husband and I were in Stowe, VT. Scenic and we loved the torus we took at Ben and Jerry’s and at the Von Trapp lodge and meeting the Von Trapps. There was a special event in Stowe that weekend that we had no idea would be going on, and one night downtown they had a band and everyone was out. It was fantastic. I want to go back to New England again with my husband, or NYS.
I thought I would mention that my parents and my maternal grandparents travelled many places, and all of them would probably list China as their number one vacation adventure.
