I think my dream vacation would be a tour of Europe with enough time built in to really explore. But I’d certainly be thrilled with a week of relaxation on Saint Lucia, too!

It’s not beach-y, but I’d love to go to Great Britain. I wouldn’t say “no” to a trip anywhere though!
Believe it or not, it’s my favorite outdoor chair on my patio with a stack of books on a table next to me. Nothing wrong with home sweet home!
Vacationing in Europe… that’s where my husband and I and family are going this year.
Anywhere with warm weather and a beach is perfect for recharging and re-energizing!
Next to a mountain stream, away from noise, with a good book.
Would love to visit Ireland!
Thailand.
London and Switzerland. Can’t wait to go to those two places one day.
Camping! Traveling cross country with my family and dog!
Ireland!
Anywhere quiet with a cocktail or glass of wine and a great stack of books to read would be the ideal vacation spot!
While I always love going someplace warm, my dream vacation would be to go north like Greenland or Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
I’d like to travel to Rutgers University to see the Russian & Soviet Non-Conformist Art Exhibit.
Italy, please!
My dream vacation would be to go to Europe to see all the Cathedrals and eat lots of pizza and pastries in Italy and France.
After the winter we had, anywhere warm without snow. I love history, so I would love to travel from Boston to Maine.
My dream vacation spot is Bondi Beach, Australia. We are going to the big island of Hawaii, so that reading material would come in handy for sure!
I dream of going to Hawaii. Just laying on the beach with a huge stack of books.
My dream vacation is going to Greece. It looks so beautiful!
I would love to go to Alaska!
So many places, Australia is at the top of my list!
My favorite beach is Silver Beach in St. Joesph, Michigan! No salt and no sharks! Just sandy beaches and beautiful water as far as the eye can see! That’s where I like to read!
Austria is my dream vacation????
Relaxing on the beaches of St. Lucia or
an adventure through the great tombs of Egypt,
would be a great vacation.
Italy and Greece! I definitely need lots of books for reading. Beautiful scenery, reading, fabulous dining, history, shopping and recharging my battery!
After losing my beautiful, 17 year old daughter in a car accident last summer I really need a peaceful beach vacation! A vacation to White House, Jamaica,would be a dream come true!
Winters are so long up here in the Northeast. I need some warm tropical breezes to relax me after another great school year. A chair on a beach in the Bahamas would do the trick! I’ve never been there but it seems like an excellent spot to do some reading and relaxing.
My dream vacation is anywhere warm with my husband.
My dream vacation would be to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysees. However, I would love to lounge on a warm sandy beach in the Caribbean.
Anywhere with my family! So hard for us all to get together….best vacay memories are when we are all together – my mom, 3 brothers, 2 sisters, 6 spouses, 12 nieces and nephews, a great niece and great nephew, plus all the dogs!!! =0)
I would love to go to Australia
I would love to visit the Grand Pitons of St. Lucia, By the way, Thank You Sandals for your reading foundation. I have seen photos of tourists reading to students in Grenada schools. Thank you for your generosity! Happy Summer.
Wow! How do I chose just one location to visit? I would love to visit Australia, Norway, Ireland, Greenland, Hawaii, Jamaica, Bahamas, or anywhere warm after living in Minnesota all my life.
My dream Vacation is Hawaii. I wanted to go there for my honeymoon but we couldn’t afford it. My 3 children said they were going to send us their for our 25th Wedding anniversary and they couldn’t afford it. We’ll be celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary this coming September it would be nice to finally be able to go. Here’s wishin and hopin I’m one of the lucky winners.
I would love to see the states that I haven’t visited in the USA. I would also like to revisit Paris and parts of Ireland.
Give me some warm sun, sand and a nice chair with my favorite book and I am in heaven. I love to travel and would love to go anywhere.
My dream vacation would be anywhere outside of my city. A peaceful and quiet place is the dream I am looking for.
I’d love to win a trip somewhere close to home, like Myrtle Beach. It’s just something about lying in bed when you first wake up or right before you go to sleep and hearing the waves hit the shore. Two words…simply beautiful.
