I will do this when I get home from work tonight.

GTKY: I have a tie for best vacation. One was my honeymoon in St. Lucia. The island is beautiful and we stayed at the Sandals Grand St. Lucian. We paid for a middle-of-the-road room but when we got there we were upgraded to the Presidential Suite. It was bigger than our apartment at the time. And it came with a butler and a private chauffeur to the airport (an hour away) when we left. It was awesome. The other was a short 3-day cruise to the Bahamas that we took with a group of friends a few years ago. We had the best time just hanging out, drinking, and goofing off!

Ok, so I have been seriously slacking on this. GTG this weekend and I totally ignored this but I am here now!!

I just started with today's since it didin't look super terrible. I will probably be extra sore tomorrow.

GTKY: My favorite vacation would have to be the cruise I took with my husband after I graduated from college. It was the first time we had ever done something that big together. We had driven places together and I have been on tons of trips with my family. This was all us though, the planning, the traveling... It was exciting and I loved experiencing that with him!! We went to St Kitts, Barbados, St Lucia and St Maarten. We got to swim with sea turtles and zip line in the rainforest. We also met another couple our age and spent the week hanging out with them which was so so much fun. An all around awesome vacation.

[flojo973]

Done! Pushups are so hard for me.

GTKY: My favorite vacation was a girls trip I took a while ago in St. Thomas. Lots of eating, drinking and some much needed girl time!

[notagoddess]

Done! Wow, I'm sore today. "Gentle" yoga yesterday was intense.

GTKY: I've traveled a lot with my family, but my favorite vacation was with H in Mexico. We stayed in a resort in the Riviera Maya and did a lot of great day trips. H discovered that he has a natural talent at scuba diving. I discovered how much I enjoy spa treatments. It was just wonderful.

The bolded really made me laugh! Haha

[rablissful]

Done!

Holy fuck squats are the worst. Owwww.

I haven't been on a good vacation in far too long. My favorite was probably going down to Aruba with my family over ten years ago.

[hurricanerek]

Done.

My favorite vacation was our honeymoon to the Big Island of Hawaii. We stayed at a huge resort that had tons of high-end restaurants, 4 pools, and an ocean-fed lagoon with sea turtles! We also roadtripped across the island to see the volcanoes and went on an amazing 4 mile hike through the park, plus drove 18 miles down the coast to see lava flows. It was amazing!

[rungirlrun]

Done.

hurricanerek - We too did The Big Island for our honeymoon. It was so amazing. Also went to Kauai. We are planning on going back to Hawaii for our 25th wedding anniversary. Only 21 years to go...

GTKY: This is a tough question because I've loved so many vacations, but a few years ago, my H and I did a cruise of Alaska. We got to see glaciers, went hiking, rock climbing, kayaking - just so much outdoor activities, and everything was beautiful. We couldn't believe we were still in the US.

Which did you prefer? Big island or kauai? We are planning to go back in a few years but maybe to kauai this time.

Definitely Kauai.  It's the least commercialized and so beautiful.  We got married at a Hyatt so we got 2 free nights at any Hyatt hotel in the country so we chose the Grand Hyatt in Kauai.  It was the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in and will ever stay in!  But I'm sure anywhere you stay there would be beautiful.  When we eventually make it back to Hawaii, that's the only island we will go to most likely.

rungirlrun I AM SO JELLY! I want to go to Alaska so bad. I generally despise cruises for various reasons, but an Alaskan cruise I would totally do.

I also don't love cruises.  I've done a couple tropical ones, and while I had fun because I was with friends, I would much rather go somewhere than cruise around.  But, my husband had never been on a cruise, and doing Alaska by cruise made much more sense because you can see so much more than you could if you were driving all over and the excursions are easier to plan.  I definitely recommend it!

[mill23]

Done!

So jealous of all these amazing vacations!

I think my favourite this year might be our honeymoon in Amsterdam, which I loved way more than I expected to. Paris has my heart though, and my trips there are always number one.

[wannabmama]

Done! I did bar today so I counted the push-ups and planks from that...can't do more of those today!
GTKY: my honeymoon in St. John was probably my favorite vacation, but it's a tough choice!

[PepperPottsJ]

Done!! i really don't like squats

GTKY: The latter half of our honeymoon on safari in South Africa was the most amazing experience and we can't wait to go back!!!

Omg I want to go on a safari so badly!!

[PepperPottsJ]

wannabmama it is worth saving for, such a respect and love for community and the animals there!! We actually wish we spent the whole 2 weeks there instead of just the 2nd.

5 push ups a day will get us there in no time, right?!?!?

[icedtea]

Done!

We went to Italy this year, wandered around Rome and Florence. It was incredibly relaxing and so much fun to explore the cities together. Our honeymoon in St Lucia is a close second, though. A safari sounds so cool.

[GOmamab15]

Done!
I can't quite remember the last time we went on vacation!

[butlerfan]

Done-but didn't post last night because I was watching my Packers!

Best vacation was our honeymoon on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was so relaxing and fun to explore the island.
