:D :D :D , it is beautiful here, but there's nothing like getting away and going someplace new and different! I haven't been to Hawaii, I hope to go someday. I hope you post some of your pics!:)

Haha, you are so sweet! I haven't taken any recently, I promise to do better! :) By the way, I don't feel too bad for you, living in sunny Florida!! :D

I hope to see some of your vacation pics!

The Maldives
 

My husband and I surf and dive so we love to go to exotic places for both. My two favorites so far are Fiji and the Maldives. I was just looking at our Maldive pictures and we have very few of us standing around as we were in the water one way or another except to eat or sleep! Anyway, here are a few of our underwater sharks. The Mantaray was actually as massive as it looks in the pictures.

I'd have to say Disney World. :) There is just so much to do and see there.

My favorite vacation spot right now is anywhere that Disney Cruise Line is going. This is the greatest place for families. The kids get to do there thing and DH and I get to have some adult time. Most importantly, I don't have to cook or clean anything for the whole trip!! :D

Cruise is also the best trip I went on too but we went on Royal Carribbean. I went on my first cruise just last week and it was the best. I recommend a cruise to anyone who hasn't been. I can't wait to go to Disney one day. It seems like so much fun and the ship is real cute.

I have gone to Hawaii once and it was beautiful but my favorite place to go is Angel Fire, New Mexico in August. The weather is beautiful and cool while Texas is sweltering in the heat:D

OH YES! I completely agree Patty - anywhere in the mountains of New Mexico in the HOT Texas summers is da BOMB! :D

Great pictures! I've been to Playa Del Carmen twice and loved it!:)

Curacao looks beautiful!!!!

Great underwater pics!!! I'm still working up the courage to get certified!

where do you go?

We actually travel all over New Mexico - have for many many years.

Our favorite place is between Chama NM and Antonito Colorado. We camp in an RV park, the Ponderosa, on the Conejos river. http://coloradodirectory.com/ponderosacampcabins/ It is pure heaven. It's usually in the high 30's in the morning (yes, in the summer) and 70's in the afternoon. I have some pix on my other computer, if I can, I'll get on and post them.

The altitude (8500 ft) is really too much for my husband now that he has heart failure - so we shouldn't go there. So, last summer we went to Alamagordo, NM which is near Ruidoso in southern NM. We stayed in Alamagordo since it is only 4500 ft high. We'd go up to Ruidoso and Cloud Croft (8000 ft) during the day.

We actually love all of NM. The good buys on Indian jewelry and stone polished pottery (both of which I have GOBS) are in Gallup. You can also go directly to the pueblos in NM and buy directly from the Indian artists. We love to go into their homes/workshops and talk with them about their artwork. Santo Domingo Pueblo is known for jewelry. San Ildefonso is famous for stone polished pottery. My favorite pottery is from the Santa Clara Pueblo. The Acoma Pueblo is the most stunningly beautiful!

I love Santa Fe, but the prices are WAY too high. I like Taos (high priced too) and Albuquerque too.

The Indian ruins and cliff dwellings in Chaco canyon and Bandelier and other places in NM are amazing too.

It is by far one of our most favorite vacation spots!

Patti,
Here are our pictures from camping on the Ponderosa

The first pic is our fifth wheel parked next to the Conejos river

the next pic is my sweet husband fishing with our trailer in the background.

Oh my gosh those pictures are beautiful. We will have to try that. We took our granddaughter to Cloud Croft and Alamagorda year before last. We go to Taos quite often. We came down thru Chamos on the way home from a trip to Colorado a couple of years ago. We have also been to the cliff dwellings and Riodoso. We have never been to the Albuquirque area or eastern New Mexico though. We didn't go this August because of my respiratory arrest during my recent surgery but I sure plan on going next year. Maybe we can meet up somewhere. Have you ever been to the Red River area?
