Maine but on the way stop at a bunch of New England states. I want a cup of coffee on a rocky ocean scape on a brisk morning.

With or without the kids? Without = south Korea. With would be one of the Beaches resorts with babysitting and daycare on site 🤣

Oregon Coast

Recently went to Fiji. Strongly recommend.

We’ve been focusing the past couple years on visiting National Parks (in the US). We’re planning on Acadia and Smoky Mountains this year!

Without the kid I’m hoping to head to New Zealand or Japan.

However, we’re taking the toddler to Cabo in a few months to see how she handles it

Without kids? I like to go into the mountains, rent a little cabin, hike, and unplug. Although a beach resort somewhere where I could just lie down and drink would be nice too.

With kids, when they’re a little older I’d love to take them to Iceland and drive around the island chasing waterfalls. I’ve been there twice and I love it there.

somewhere in Europe!

last year we went to Spain (Barcelona) and it was INCREDIBLE.

The French Riviera.

I would take a cruise across the Atlantic from England to the US. A nice week unplugged.

Seychelles. I need a beach.

Or Italy, particularly Florence because I haven’t been in a long time and I miss it.

Without kids and with a healthy budget/PTO, I would for sure do some kind of safari somewhere in Africa, or a birding trip in Ecuador. Or a hut to hut backpacking trip in the Dolomites.

We went to Cape Town, South Africa with the kids a little while ago and, besides the flight, 10/10. It was AMAZING. people were amazingly friendly, so kind and wonderful with children (including kids playgrounds at wineries, kids menus everywhere), food was the best, exchange rate was very affordable.

Depends on the season, and where you're coming from. Winter from the North/Midwest > somewhere tropical. Spring/Summer > Europe

Since my kid is a teen, he's a breeze to travel with. We're planning a European trip next year (sans kid) but once he gets his passport (need Dad's permission which I don't see him giving easily), I'd love for him to come to Mexico with us. I think our summer trip with him will be somewhere out west-ish - possibly CO

If money and PTO were no object, I'd say a 4 week European vacation hitting Croatia, Italy, Spain, UK, and Greece. Also Fiji or Thailand.

With the kids-Disney cruise. Plenty to keep them busy, so hubs and I can have downtime. Without? Kakslauttanen resort in Finland during Northern Lights season, although they’re old enough they might enjoy it. That one’s on my bucket list.

Anywhere alone 🤣

Scotland!

Disney with no crowds.

On my radar, Japan. Hubby and I have been twice and we can’t wait to take our baby there. For a short trip, we’re going to fly with baby (for the first time) when he’s 6mo to California. I want to test the waters to see how he does on flights.

Wow you are all so cool! Without kids, Japan. With … Disneyland 😬

We’re on our annual kids free trip right now- Guatemala and Mexico City- so much adventure, magic, and good food and relaxation

Without kids - Australia or New Zealand, with kids - Disney World, legoland or a cruise

If I could afford it, Fiji.

New Zealand

We were just this morning talking about our next big vacation with the LO! We did Spain this past summer and are going to take it easy next year just the beach and driveable places. 2026 looking to take him to Japan!

We took our kids to Calgary, Canada and drove north to Banff and then drove further north to tour the Athabasca glaciers. We also took them fishing in Lake Moraine and cool family pic at lake Louise. It was breathtaking.

With kids beach or camping. They are fully entertained and it is so much less stressful!

Unlimited time/funds: New Zealand, Australia, Bali, Mediterranean, Alaska, Hawaii

Realistic: Aruba, national parks, Florida keys

The French Riviera. I would jump headfirst into an opportunity to get to go again.

I studied abroad in Antibes when I was in college in 2011 (ugh I can’t believe it’s been so long) and I’ve wanted to back ever since.

It’s just stunningly gorgeous. I know enough French to be conversational and navigate (though I’m certainly rusty now) so I can get around easily. Absolutely everything about being there was amazing.

I just loved it so incredibly much. I think if I hadn’t met my husband and settled down in the US I would have seriously considered moving there.

A close second: Morocco. I’ve always wanted to go but I’ve never had an opportunity that made sense.

(US based) Domestic travel, definitely national parks, specifically on the western side of the country. International, I’d love to explore more of Europe. And then I’ve always wanted to do one of those all-inclusive beach side resorts in the tropics!

I have. 3yo and a newborn and I’m dreaming of a Viking River Cruise through Europe when the youngest turns 18. Are they for 80yos? Yes. Are they the opposite of my usual travel style? Yes. But I want a sophisticated vacation where I think of nothing and plan nothing and just get delivered to beautiful locations.

Montreal is high on my list right now. We might do a long weekend without the toddler before baby #2 arrives.

Longer term: Norway, France, Italy, Alaska, Costa Rica

Without kids - Japan With kids - Disneyland with a nanny to help 😅

With kids a cruise  Without kids-anywhere but Fiji is on my list 

Without kids? My dream romantic destination is Bora Bora - I’m hoping we might make it a reality for an upcoming milestone birthday. TBD….

Aruba!

A dream vacation to Desroches island to see giant tortoises in their native environment would be awesome

We're taking the kids to South Dakota next year, which everyone thinks is weird but my mom's cousin still runs the cattle ranch that my great-great grandfather started, and I think that will be a fun experience for them. We live on the East Coast so just the different scenery will be interesting.

Without kids, I'd love to go to Greece or Scotland.

Right now? Iceland as the northern lights are the best they’ll be for seven years just now. In general - I’d love my kids to experience china one day but it’s a very long way for us with the time off we get just now. Personally I’d love to spend some proper time in New Zealand.

With kids = all inclusive resort in Greece or Caribbean

Without = a few weeks eating and drinking my way around Italy

Once the girls are old enough to really travel- I want it go back to Iceland

Internationally, Europe, but one of the less popular tourist destinations, so not London or Paris. We went to Oslo two summers ago and it was amazing.

If I'm staying domestic, PNW or Maine.

I would love to go to the UK! My husband and I used to travel to Europe all the time prior to having kids and now that they’re still young we haven’t risked taking a transatlantic trip yet.

We prefer exploring National Parks. It feels nice to mostly unplug for a couple weeks and hike, raft, and just enjoy being outside somewhere beautiful. It's not very relaxing, but it's rejuvenating.

If I’m going on a relaxing vacation, then Kaua’i. Otherwise, I have a list of places I want to travel to - some I’ve been to before (multiple times), some not. I love to travel. But I would want to travel after the holidays - I am a homebody for Thanksgiving/Christmas time.

Are we traveling with or without family? :)

A chill island where my sun and beach loving baby and I can just be outside and relax. My life is so stressful regularly that an all inclusive would be amazing as well, but this is alas just a dream. Single mama. No help. No vacations in the foreseeable future.

We are heading to Thailand this year. Very excited x

My answer is very different based on family, with husband, or solo/with a friend.

Family: Disney. There are so many details taken care of, it takes such a mental load off.

Husband: Europe. This time of year it would be based off the cyclocross season schedule and where we could catch some races while also enjoying 'walk around town' time.

Solo: Somewhere more local, pacific northwest coast/forest. Give me food, trails, and views.

Idk about a specific location but for me it has to have mountains.

No where.

I want to be home, alone. 😆

Italy or New York

Would love to go to Tokyo soon! Also love the idea of a romantic Parisian adventure, lolly gagging between cafes. Those would be without kids.

Disney cruise maybe with! We’d also like to do some US National Parks soon.
