Thirteen Places I've Been on Vacation
- Oahu (who wouldn’t like 12 days in Hawaii! It was very special because good friends of ours were renewing their vows and asked us to come and be their witnesses – can’t turn that down.)
- Charleston, SC (surprise Valentine’s Day present from my husband who was then my fiancé)
- New Orleans (another surprise from my husband for my birthday last year – 3 weeks before Katrina hit)
Half Moon Bay, CA (One of the stops on our honeymoon along with San Fran and Napa Valley. We stayed in a very modern B&B that overlooked the ocean. The town was so quaint and beachy. Just fun, relaxing and special.)
- Whistler, British Columbia (one of the most beautiful places on earth.)
- Windham Hill, VT (near Manchester, home of awesome outlets. Husband and I stayed at the Windham Hill B&B two autumns in a row while living in NY. The views were literally postcard-perfect – mist drifting in front of trees with leaves of every color and the Green Mountains right in front of you.)
- Ochos Rios, Jamaica (I actually didn’t like Jamaica because it was hard to see the abject poverty and I didn’t feel safe leaving the resort. However, we had an awesome time with the other couple we went with – lots of drinking at the swim up pool bar. Great resort – it was a Sandals, couples only!)
- Scotland (spent a long weekend there when I was in London for a summer and it was like “the land time forgot”. Little thatch cottages with sheep everywhere and green, green rolling hills. Stunning.)
- Italy (What made the trip so great is we stayed with family all over the country so we always had great “guides” to show us all the wonderful sights. In 2 ½ weeks, the only restaurant I ate in was a cousin’s pizza place – everyone wanted to cook for us so we were never allowed to eat out, oh darn!)
- New Hope, PA (cool little town full of charm, B&Bs and galleries)
- Cancun, MX (had an awesome time here even though I really didn’t see much of Cancun because the resort – Fiesta Americana – was so wonderful. Best service I’ve ever had anywhere! This was one of my Husband’s reward trips and it was first class all the way)
- St. Thomas (the color of the ocean here was amazing)
- Atlantis, Bahamas (this is a “trip to be” that we’re going on in June. Another reward trip of hubby’s so I’m sure it will be great.)

Wow, you've been all over! The furthest I've ever traveled was Jupiter, FL. I wouldn't be able to come up with 13 places...It would be, like, the Thursday Three...
Thats a lot of places! Lucky you! I hope you keep a scrapbook... fun stuff! My 13 are up, have a happy day!
Boy, have you traveled! I'm so jealous. lol
Happy TT
Nice list! I'm jealous, too. You have been to a lot of great North American destinations.
New Hope is about 50 minutes away from where I live. It is very cute, just as you say!
Great list, I adored the Bahamas and I own property in Cabo San Lucas, MX. I also lived in Skorpios, Greece and miss it a lot.
Happy TT!
OMG I'm soooo jealous! I want to go to Hawaii, Scotland, St. Thomas and the Bahamas too. Maybe someday.
My 13 are up.
It seems you have been busy traveling, what fun! Great memories, too. Thanks for visiting my TT
All your beach getaways are making me want a getaway of my own.
Happy Thursday!
Mine are up.

I think we've probably crossed paths! Well in Vermont, we stayed a weekend in Manchester, but close enough! My 13 are up!
Wow, you've been to some cool places!!
h, you were lucky to visit New Orleans before Katrina. We rarely go any where, hubby doesn't like to travel. My list is up. I hope you're having a wonderful day. Take Care...
Well, I've been to all 48 continental states, but out of your list I've only been to one of those...Ocho Rios, Jamaica! LOVED it! We stayed at Jamaica Grande resort in Ocho Rios. We did venture out into the market place one day, and I have to admit I was a little nervous, but it was an interesting experience. The ladies were constantly asking to braid my hair for money, and wow those sellers would practically force things on you. But most of the time we were at the resort...there was so much to do there you really didn't need to go anywhere else. We really want to go back for one of our anniversaries, since that is where my hubby proposed :)
Thanks for visiting my TT
I'm so jealous...I want to go to Scotland and Italy so bad!! We are leaving for a Bahamas Cruise in 21 days though so that should be fun!
Thanks for visiting my TT!!
I went to Atlantis in 2004. You are going to LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
That's a lot of places. I hope I could go to those places too. :)
Happy weekend :)
You take the best vacations!!

Wonderful! You need to put together a travel blog.
Wow! I'm jealous! I especially want to go to Italy and Scotland! How wonderful!
Thanks for stopping by my 13. Sorry it took me so long to get here. I'm feeling a little better so I'm trying to catch up. Right!
#13 - I just saw an ad for that and drooled. We've only been to Disneyworld, Nova Scotia (BORING) and Virginia Beach. I am envious!! :)
Hawaii - I will go before I die!
Thanks for stopping by my 13!!
I wanna travel.
Vermont is beautiful.
I hated Cancun.
Lucky you to see New Orleans, before Katrina.
