Aloha Friday #12


Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog . Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the Mr. Linky there if you are participating.

My question is:

Where was the best vacation you ever went on?

We tend to go on vacations mostly to visit family, and never just for fun. I went to Israel for fun though last summer and it really was a life-changing trip.

Hmmm, that's a tough one...my family never really traveled!

Jennifer said...

To see my best friend and her family in Tennessee!

kailani said...

It would have to be Disneyworld! I went there on my honeymoon!

Sandy said...

Never went anywhere except to visit family one or two states over. Then, for my 35th birthday a few years ago we went whale watching in Mexico. It was AMAZING.

Jeremy said...

That would definitely be this year when we went to Puerto Rico as a family. We had a blast!

Now if you're talking about a favorite vacation with just my wife and I then I'd have to say Tobago when we stayed at a resort on the beach. It was amazing.

Isreal. Wow. I've had many friends who have been but I have to admit it would make me nervous with the current political situation to visit. I am aware that life there is very different than it is here.

I've had a lot of really wonderful trips. It would be difficult to single out just one. So, I'll say that recently we were able to go to the Caribbean with our 5 children for a week and that was a fantastic experience.

Boracay beach,... it was our honeymoon. Does that count?

Our family trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, when we lived on Oahu, that was fun.

Disneyworld when our daughter was 4.

Cancun Mexico on our honeymoon was my favorite. Except for the day that I was completely sunburned. That day sucked.

Canary Islands.

We went to NYC, DC and Baltimore in the early 90's. My family had a great time and I was glad to be with them to share and enjoy. It was the best. Happy Positive Day, 2009 :)

Sarah said...

British Virgin Islands. Had to go twice :) Want to go more!

My graduation trip to Europe back in 1994. I visited friends in France and Italy, and family in Sweden. Have a wonderful weekend and take care.

I'd have to say it was our honeymoon (that we took a year later). We went up to a ski resort, I was pregnant, and there was no snow, but we had so much fun.

Nina said...

I would say my trip to the Caribbean cruise with all our friends and family. It was the most amazing because I also got married on that cruise.

sheila said...

We live in Ohio, we took a road trip west and stopped at many places. We went to SanFrancisco and then on the way back home Sedona, AZ. THAT was my favorite sspot EV-A!

Upstatemamma said...

That is hard because we have not taken the kids to Disney World yet. We went for our honeymoon and it was awesome!!! We have taken the kids to Sesame Place and we love it there.

Auntie E said...

The South Seas trip. We went to Thailand, Malaysia,and Singapore. I really loved our stay at Puket. the water and the Islands were so beautiful.

annies home said...

while there have not been alot there have been a few but the few were all great perhaps I could say the trip to Florida, or the trip to Mo state

Angie said...

The best vacation was when my mom and I went to Pennsylvania for the Amish/Gettysburg bus tour. I had so much fun

Brandi said...

When we cruised to Mexico. So much fun can't wait to go again.

TheAtticGirl said...

The best vacation I've ever been on....well it'd be the only vacation I've taken in a long time; my honeymoon to Disney World.

Growing up we went on many vacations. I'd have to say my favorite was going to Florida from Ohio for Christmas vacation. I feel in love with the beach and moved to Florida when I got out on my own.

Genny said...

That's easy...Maui. We love it!

ParentingPink said...

I went to England, Sweeden, Demark, and Norway with my parents as a teenager. Loved it! Want to go back!

My honeymoon on the island of St. John.

2 weeks in New Zealand. Saw both North and South island. Had a blast!

Liz Mays said...

We went to DisneyWorld with the kids and then down to Sanibel Island and it was the best vacation ever!

Amy Clary said...

My honeymoon to Gatlinburg, TN was the best vacation I have ever been on.

Drahdrah said...

In the Carribean where I met my husband !

LadyBug-Kellie said...

I would have to say Hawaii, because it was SO incredibly beautiful.

I also really liked Cape May New Jersey, it was an adorable town with such charm!

Orlando to see my sister.

Suzy said...

Lana'i at Manele Bay in Hawaii. This past June for 2 weeks.

Gorgeous!

Kim said...

My favorite vacation would have to be my honeymoon. We went to Estes Park, CO and other areas in close proximity. We had a week with no agenda and just the two of us.

Brandi said...

hmmm...I think the coolest place I have been was Italy, but the best vacation was one with my hubby. We took a road trip when we were dating from WY to Oregon/Californiia and back. It was a rough one, but it def made us stronger!

Stacie said...

I would have to say South Dakota. It was a spur of the moment trip. We stayed in a hotel that had a water park. The kids had a blast!

LADYHIGHTOWER said...

I have been so very lucky to have won vacations at the company where I worked. Three of the 5 trips were wonderful! Maui, New Orleans, and Arizona. Arizona was the very best cause my son went with me and we went early and explored the whole state!****This was a great question! I enjoyed reading everyone's answers! Thanks!

Unknown said...

My boyfriend and I took a trip to Wisconsin Dells a few years ago, just the two of us. That was a really great weekend. It's the only time we have ever done a vacation alone, and I wish we could do it again.

Susan Cook said...

Disney World last yr. with my husband and the kids first time going there.

Erin @ Closing Time said...

I would definitely say my honeymoon. We went to a beautiful lake in the alps in Slovenia and stayed at a cozy little bed & breakfast. I would love to go back someday.

Heather said...

Hmm. Either San Fransisco with my husband (then fiancee), or New Orleans with a couple of girlfriends. Both were fun, for completely different reasons!

Smellyann said...

Our trip to Europe last summer! You can read about it here: http://smellyann.typepad.com/european_on_me :D

One of my best was to Puerto Rico. I really enjoyed the state.
