Has anyone been on a cruise? Where did you go? Was it fun? Did you get sick? Was it crowded? Did you eat too much? Was there a lot of drinking and such?

My best vacation with the family was Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I went with my family. It has the same latitude as Hawaii but your dollar goes much further (as long as you stay away from the tourist traps).
We swam with dolphins in Nueva Vallarta; went with my wife to a recreation of an Aztec wedding with a candlelit dinner after a beautiful boatride; swam in the ocean and was able to buy most of our souvenirs and food while laying on the beach.
I can hardly wait to go back!
I noticed that everyone vacations in the US, anyone else needed or will need a passport to travel?

We went to London for our honeymoon--that was the only time I have needed a passport.

Vacation Visitations and Variations for our Virtual Voguish Volley
Pick from the questions and discuss:
Are you planning a vacation this year? Where to? yes there is a group of us going to belgium this friday til next monday, and am going to the french alps in July
What has been your favorite vacation destination, and why? rome because it's where we got engaged
What was your worst vacation ever? not had any real bad vacations
Did your family go on vacations when you were growing up? Share your favorite funny or awful memories. Just me and my mum my dad used to drive us for 4 hours to north wales and then go back home because he didn't really like holidays as such
What makes a great vacation for a family? A couple? A single? a couple i think
What is your dream vacation destination? America
Share your vacation advice and stories.
Always make sure you have travel insurance and a place to stay where you are going! Google where you are going and find a couple of nice places to eat, sometimes you can get online discount tickets for certain things such as london zoo. Shop around for car hire if you are renting a vehicle. Always take more cash than you will need and have cards incase of emergancies. Last but not least make sure your other half doesn't place your passport somewhere you can't find so you end up having get an emergency one (this happened to me just before rome this year!).

On our honeymoon, we never had enough money. Our daily budget, set by my frugal (tightwad) husband, made eating very difficult! I remember always being so hungry.
We traveled to Oxford one day and stopped at a pub, and I remember eating the very best shepherds pie I have ever tasted.  Finally a hot meal!

Oh my goodness! Where to begin?
I’ve cruised, and it’s just the best vacation ever! It’s hard to remember you even have a real life back home – total relaxation. So pretty much everything you’ve heard is true!
I’ve only cruised to Bermuda, and I highly recommend it. Hamilton (capital) is (or at least was, in 1989) very beautiful and quaint, and the color of the ocean surrounding Bermuda is stunning.
My family vacations growing up were pretty much always Ocean City, Maryland. I have good memories, of course, because of the family, but not because of Ocean City itself.
Earlier this month I visited my brother and his wife in Sugarloaf Key with my sister and niece. Sugarloaf Key is at the 17 mile marker from Key West. So that would be about 13 miles from Key West, I believe, since Key West is about 4 miles wide. We had absolutely perfect weather, and it was a gorgeous trip.
Of course, you’ve given me the perfect opportunity to include a link to my picture album for the trip, go here it is:

Hello Pam! I'm looking at your photos right now.
HEMINGWAY HOUSE!!! I'm so jealous. Did you see the famous cats?
Love the fat white cat entitled Savannah (was that in Savannah?). He's had a little too much fun, it looks like.
The water photos are so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing!
I've been to Ocean City, Maryland! I was only there for half a day, but I stopped at a tiny crab place with outside picnic tables and had all you can eat crabs...I still remember how yummy they were!

Hi Cranky - thanks. The cats, Savannah (the fat one) and Rebel (the climber), belong to my brother and sister-in-law who I visited in the Keys.
Yes, I saw the cats. My niece is the one who was crazy for them and even counted the toes (yes, they have six). My sister is getting married there later this year. Did you see the wedding courtyard/arch?
Thanks for taking the time to look through my photos - I'm pretty proud of them, especially the sunsets.

Going camping with the family on Memorial Day weekend in the Sequoias. August we're in Mexico again. Mexico City to visit relatives, then off to Cuernavaca and Purepero, Michoacan. Never been to either place and am looking forward to seeing village life with all the traditions. Plus the food! Yum!

I saw that photo. She's literally getting married there? How wonderful! That will be a great memory.
We are going on vacation soon, and I hope to take some beautiful pictures of my kids at the ocean. I just love the beauty of children playing with the huge ocean in the background.
Mapachito,
I've never been to the Sequoias or Mexico. Please post when you return and tell us about them!

Yes, Cranky, my sister's wedding will be at Hemingway Home's wedding courtyard this fall. It's going to be just lovely!
