In no particular order:
Ocean cruise - Copenhagen, St Petersburg, Stockholm, Helsinki, Talinn, and Warnemuende (Germany).
Pacific Northwest driving: Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver, Mt Ranier
Guided bus tour through England, Scotland, and Wales
SoCal: a different "attraction" every day for ten days (including a two day trip up to the Hearst castle).
Colonial Williamsburg with golf - just a great place to relax.
Maine coast from Portland through Campo Bello (not sure of the name, Roosevelt's family vacation home)
Driving tour of northern Italy: Rome, Turin, Florence, Venice, Isle of Capri, etc.
Footnotally I will add that I have had the opportunity to visit several great cities in Europe for 3-4 day visits and while I recognize that you can't do justice to a great city in such a short stay, the upside is that you can see a couple spectacular things every day and be left wanting more, rather than bored with it. Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, Vienna, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Duesseldorf. I have become a big fan of HO/HO bus tours.
I would be interested to see similar lists from others posting here. I'm looking for ideas for this summer.
Eh you lightweight. I prefer some of the places not so pretty.
Sweden: Ornskoldsvik, Malmo, Stockholm
France: Paris, Nancy, etc. Exchange student.
Germany: Up and down every inch except Berlin.
England: Ditto
Netherlands: Ditto
Luxembourg, Belgium, Denmark, Mexico, Hong Kong, Sao Paublo, Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Belize, Grand Cayman's, Cozumel, Belize, Guatemala.
I'm missing a few here, but if I could pick one summer adventure that made a lasting impression on me then it would be Sweden followed by Belize and their excellent reef.
