Ladera was where we stayed and it was spectacular! It was perfect for a honeymoon. Secluded. Quiet. Great weather. Stunning views. However, ideally, for a regular (non honeymoon) vacation, I think I would want more stuff to do. More places to explore. More touristy stuff & shopping. We spent out honeymoon on St Lucia as well.

The other involves going someplace of historical interest, like Europe, and poking around. I wouldn't do a tour, I like to explore myself. I really want to go to Italy and the South of France to see all the Roman and early medieval sites. That's our next trip, we hope. We spent our honeymoon on St Lucia too, at the Sandals Grande. We wanted to split our time between Ladera, which looks amazing, and Sandals, but Ladera was totally booked. St Lucia is amazingly beautiful. We just got back from our "babymoon," five days in Jamaica, also at a Sandals. We like Sandals because you don't have to worry about anything. We had planned on a European trip this spring, but then I got pregnant, and the dollar is terrible, so when we saw an incredible deal at Sandals, we went back because we had a great time on our honeymoon. In future, though, it's going to be more family-friendly resorts. Beaches, not Sandals, although I would love to stay at the Four Seasons resort on Nevis. And I hope we can bring Pencil Stub to Europe soon, maybe next year before she's really mobile. ;) I have two ideal vacations: one involves going to an island with gorgeous beaches, where we can spend half the time lying around, and the other half swimming, hiking, or doing other athletic stuff.

Best vacation we had recently was in a small southern college town where we biked everywhere and got a lot of work done.

We go to museums and the theatre and bars and walk around. We've had a wonderful time, but we live in NYC and in some ways they're just extensions of what we do here at home. I want my next trip (probably next summer, once I finish my dissertation) to be some place totally different, so we're thinking Costa Rica. Beaches, jungles, sloth preserves...:) My recent trips (the last 5 or so, about 1/year) have been to big foreign cities: Dublin, Paris, London, Helsinki, and Berlin.
