Great Vacation Ideas?
Im 15. My family is trying to find a place to take a vacation but we dont know where to go. My dad has enough air miles from business trips that we can fly about anywhere in the US except hawaii for free, which is pretty cool. Without those miles we couldnt afford a trip by air.
So the thing is, we are looking for a place with great sights. Not tons of people. A few years ago we went to northern california which was great. The coast there was amazing. And also we went up to new york, phili, maine, all that by driving.
We only have about 2 ideas for places to go…Washington (state) and Florida…We cant get out of the country though so dont say that.
So.. List where you would want to go in the U.S. and Why?

If you go to Florida, go to its "Forgotten Coast" Essentially, that’s the area wast of Appalichicola Bay, past St. George’s Island, then turning north through St. Jo & on up until you get to the God-awful tourist traps near the panhandle. you can get excellent condos through Southern Resorts (we’ve used their services on a Thanksgiving trip). Especially if you like to be more back-to-nature- kayaking, sea kayaking, time on fairly empty beaches, etc., it’s a wonderful place. Not at all what I would have expected of Florida.
I found out about it because son’s in Tallahassee finishing PhD at Florida State. If you go, best way to get there is to fly into Tallahassee & rent a car.
A number of years ago, I was very, very surprised at how empty Hilton Head is over the Fourth of July. Just be sure you like humidity if you go that route.
Enjoy your travels & God speed!
It really all depends on what more specific activities you are interested in. It sounds like you are looking for "great sights". In nature, both wyoming and Colorado are not crowded and perfect for nature watching and hiking. Seattle (washington state) and Northern Oregon are also good. I live in florida and right now (depending on where you would go) it is not a great place to be in. The weather in dreadfully hot, steamy, and uncomfortable. I would NOT come here, after all most of my neighbors are fantisizing about getting away. For history sights, virginia and NC are great.
