Favorite Vacation Spot

Mo is still handing out topics - and this one was supposed to be about my favorite vacation spot.

Okay, my topic today was my favorite vacation spot. I love vacation (who doesn’t, right?) and I can’t really think of a bad one. But, I definitely do have my favorites.

I’m a beach girl. I love the water, the sand, the sun, the drinks – everything about it. I love the “music” – the island sounds. YUMMY – just makes my heart sing thinking about it.

I can’t really pick ONE favorite spot, but I definitely can pick a few and tell you why I enjoy it.

Dominica – the landscape of the island is beautiful, the water is crystal clear, the people are beyond friendly, the crime rate low, the tourism low…


Aruba – I love the culture, the language, the island, the beaches, the water, THE MEN (HUBBA HUBBA), the beer, the climate. Aruba feels like home to me. I have loved my time there!



OBX – This is state side and I can definitely think of prettier places BUT the Outer Banks of North Carolina will always ring as a favorite spot for me for the people I share it with. About 9 years ago or so a group of us started going down there every 4th of July week. We rent a big ol’ house, drink, laugh, swim, read, laugh, eat, drink, karaoke, bike, kayak, boat, shop….we do a lot some years and nothing other years but we always do it together and it is the best time! I have many found memories of OBX and hope to continue making more memories. July 2010 – here we COME!!!
this pic cracks me up! we were playing bar golf and this was Hole 9! BAH HA

In Oct. I head down there for a girl’s Getaway with a bunch of ladies I only see once a year and this time in OBX is different but just as special. I love my Getaway girls!

Great post.

The Outer Banks is the perfect beach vacation...a great combination of peaceful relaxation and fun local activities/attractions; gorgeous beaches, a wide variety of water sports, world-class fishing and surfing, great local art and shopping, delicious local food, history, nature, etc.

The OBX offers great vacation rental homes for all types of travelers; small beach bungalows to large beach front estates.

Please let us know if we can help you plan your next trip to the Outer Banks.
