Anything. Get me outta here!
Summer Any blessed thing that gets me the hell outta' dodge is to be venerated.
VickyNow that my kids are older...going to the bathroom by myself!

Get our your passport
Donna Around the world cruise!
Eulallia Italy. I have dreamed about Italy since I was a little girl. Originally, my dreams included meeting some handsome young Italian man and having a passionate romance, but now I just want to go for the food.
Lauren A friend of mine and I have been dreaming about a horseback riding trip through Tuscany where every night you stay in a different castle. Add a lot of wine tasting (public drunkenness with an excuse) to that and you have my perfect getaway.
EverydaySuperGoddess A trip to Ireland.
Mother Goose Mouse I swear we already took it - cruised from Athens to Istanbul - but I would also love to take one of those around-the-world cruises on a really swanky line. I need to see the Far East, India, the Middle East, Northern and Eastern Africa, the French and Italian Rivieras, the Panama Canal (from a ship - been there on dry land), and Alaska. No pressure.
JusticeIn New Zealand with the whole family, in a simple house and a 'helper' to do the chores so I could relax, too
nina A ticket to a major European city, a railpass, and lots of cash. A sexy travelling companion doesn't hurt, either.

Shopping and Skating
Carmen NYC - in the Christmas season, so that you can see all the decorations. Take a carriage ride, ice skate, go to the Today show, eat lunch and frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendepity. I'd have enough money to go to all the stores I love up there - Godiva, Macy's, yadda yadda. I love the cold, I love to people watch, and there is so much to do there that I don't think a week could do it all.

Thanks, Nanny. We’ll see the kids at dinner!
Allison Anywhere I can nap when I want, not lift a finger, be with my husband and if the children are with us, have a nanny. They can come, I just don't want to be in charge of them.
Buffi A resort on the beach, with full time nanny service, chef, masseuse, and all my girlfriends and our families
Sleepless Mama Five days in a beach house with my family, with a life guard on duty and SOMEBODY ELSE doing all the laundry

What kids? Oh, Cabana Boy?
Mary At this point in my life I would say any vacation where I was totally alone and I didn't have to clean up anything. If you threw in a beach, non-fattening pina coladas, and free wireless internet, I'd be in heaven.
ishouldbeworking On a beach with my best friend, and a cabana boy to bring us drinks and perform whatever other tasks we want him to ;)
Jenijen A private beach with a cool breeze, cold drinks, books and junk magazines. Room service, spa service, children somewhere else with someone else and my husband at my beck and call.
MirBeach. Waves. Good food. Stack o' books. Lots of sex. Not necessarily in that order.

Personal Growth... or Medieval Torture?
hadashi one in which I have experiences that make me feel as if I've grown taller.

Sea Turtles
Jill Miller Zimon The Galapagos islands, with a nanny (I don't have one and never have had one but I'd love the luxury of planning things with my kids, my husband and just for myself)
Holli I haven't taken one in so long, I've completely forgotten what that means.. but I would love to visit the Galapagos Islands.

Snowed in with extended relatives
Kathryn, The Daring One I would take myself, Dan and the kids on a winter snow vacation with everyone from both of our families. We'd stay in a big ski lodge, drink hot cocoa, play cards for hours on end and do a lot of cuddling by the fire. We'd have plenty of food, water, and dry wood so we could survive an avalanche or two and live like hermits for a while, telling stories and creating new ones.

Survivor - or Paradise Island?
Barbex /Easy walking in spectacular nature like Hawaii.
Mazeway Travel by slow steamship to a quiet, fully staffed island. No one will talk to me. I will have books, and all of my assorted craft supplies. I will sleep when I like, my chef will make whatever food I want. I think I'm going to cry now.
Lin While destination is important, more important is time. Americans get so little time for vacation; so little time to just get away from routine and work. The ultimate vacation is somewhere new with enough weeks to truly absorb the subtleties of where I am.
cmhl I would love to go to a luxurious tiki hut on a deserted island. Deserted, except for the masseuse that comes in every afternoon, the chef that drops fabulous meals from planes, and of course a high-speed internet connection. For a week. No, two weeks. No, a year. Heck, let's say indefinitely, as long as time can stop while I am there. That isn't asking too much, is it?
Maryanne Two weeks on a tropical beach with no phone, no tv and no way to get off of it.
Jelly - Me, John Mayer and a deserted>island. Oh yeah, baby.
Dawnany beach-with a margarita.
