Hawaii. Why? It's just so gorgeous. I love exploring the different islands and I LOVE the beach. I can't wait to go back.

My favorite destination is Zion National Park. It is breathtaking there. So much natural beauty... My husband and I love to explore nature and to go hiking. On our second wedding anniversary we hiked the rather strenuous Angels Landing hike. It was such a great and special accomplishment since about 6 months after getting married my husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Lewes, East Sussex, England. Quiet town and with lots of alleys and opportunities to get lost in 15th century history. Oh and the castle...swoon.

It's Sonoma, CA for me becuase that is where I got engaged. My husband arranged it at a vineyard. The director at the vineyard had one of the wine cellars lit only by candles and that is where we were. He gave me some story about having lunch there so when the tray came out (which I thought was food) was actually my engagement ring. She took pictures as he got down on one knee and proposed. I was so happy that I forgot to look at the ring until she said something. It was a day I will cherish forever.

And by the way, the day of the drawing (January 23rd) is my birthday.

I love going to Vegas with the girls! Just getting away and staying in a hotel is so fun...but all the shopping and restaurants is a great vacation for me!

Well I always wanted to go to Hawaii.... We planned to go after our wedding for our honeymoon but didn't have the finances at the time - still hoping to go one day!
Just love the surf and the hula dancing :)

One of my most favorite places is Sedona, AZ. The warmth of the desert and the energy vortexes make me feel rejuvenated and alive. There I feel like one can glimpse the depths of mother Earth's soul. Peace.

I would just love to visit Hawaii, to see the black sand beaches, volcanoes and the lush beautiful tropical landscapes. Especially the colorfull flowers. It has always been a dream of my husband and I to see Hawai. ALOHA!

My favorite getaway is the Florida Keys~ It seems strange when I say it Florida. But it is the first place I ever went on Vacation with my husband before we were married. I was 18 & he was 17. He is my world, my BF, we have been though so much, we have been married 20 yrs together 23. It was my first getaway~one day we will go on a honeymoon, but in the mean time the white sand, 1st beach we went to will always remind me of my first get away with me Hubby & the memories we created~

My favorite destination is on the beach in the Bahamas. It was my first real beach experience (I'm a city girl), so it always has a special place it my heart. It was just so relaxing, serene and beautiful. Ah!

Costa Rica! The people are friendly, the food is amazing, and the beauty of the rainforest is unmatchable. There are many eco adventures that let you experience the true beauty of the country and it's somewhere I will always look forward to visiting again.

My favorite destination is Hawaii because I love tropical, beachy places. The last time I went there I vacationed with my relatives on the Big Island and Oahu and it was a magical time. The sunsets on the beach, the luaus, hiking near the volcanoes, watching movies right on Waikiki Beach...awesome memories.

Hokkaido, Japan for the fragrant lavender fields on a sunny day.

My uncle Jason's farm in Kentucky is my favorite. I grew up in Louisiana and every summer my parents would drive the 3 of us up to my grandparents' house in Campbellsville, KY. I always looked forward to the days when we all rode out to the family farm and as the adults picked corn and chatted in the house, us cousins would be out playing. We'd catch frogs in the creek, catch woolly caterpillars in the driveway, feed the calves, chase the barn kittens, jump off the mountain of bailed hay, climb on the upper beams of the barn and would picnic in the tobacco field. My cousin Ben taught me how to shoot mailboxes with a BB gun. When we got too hot, we'd go in the farm house and drink lemonade while playing Monopoly or Minesweeper. I'd say it was pretty magical.

My favorite destination is Brazil. Besides the scenery, I fell in love with the culture and the people. The ambiance of Rio seems to always welcome me with open arms.

We went to the Barcelona Mayan Beach resort last summer, it's located on the Yucatan peninsula-it was wonderful! Miles of beaches and several swimming pools for the kids. Hope to return someday...
