re: Your top three vacations you have taken

1. 3 week solo trip in Europe a few years after graduating college. Not completely solo as my cousin lived in Germany at the time and he was with me some of the time, but 90% of the trip was solo, and totally rad. Flew out of Atlanta with only a backpack, camera, 3 changes of clothes, a few toiletries, and a few books.

2. Honeymoon in the Bahamas. Intended to go to St Lucia, but I procrastinated on booking it and by the time I booked, all the return flights were booked and we would have had to come home 2 days earlier than we wanted to. Settled on Bahamas due to the short flight, and it actually was perfect. We did a destination wedding and did a lot of driving leading up to the wedding, so a 4 hour travel day on the first day of the honeymoon was exactly what we needed.

3. Disney World with the kids a few years ago. Yeah, it's commercial and pretty much sucks for adults, but seeing how much my kids, especially daughter, loved it was worth it. I'm as grumpy and cynical as they come, but even I can admit there is such thing as Disney Magic. I think this is the only week in my kids' lives where they didn't fight a single time.
