TOP 5 Travel Destinations
Below I have made a list of my favorite vacation spots by narrowing down all my favorite vacations to a top 5.
I will also be rating these locations from 1-5 on three different subjects, based on climate, activities, price.
I have traveled all over the United states and surrounding areas, all way from British Colombia, Canada too Medjugorje, Bosnia! Going on vacation is more than just having a good time, it is the greatest sense of freedom one can have! But doing so can be stressful from getting the funds to support the trip, getting time off work, but without a doubt the hardest and most overlooked aspect is finding the best location with the most exciting activities!
5.) Tampa Florida
I have been to many places in Florida but not one can quite compare to Tampa. From the soft PURE WHITE beach sand to the warm gulf waters, Tampa's clear water beach is hands down the best beach I've ever been too! The beach really lives up to its name because that water is crystal CLEAR. When your fried as a lobster their are plenty of other things to do other than being a beach bum like going to Busch Gardens, Going on the river walk and grab some food, then going deep sea fishing, and last but not least Lettuce Lake Regional Park.

Very expensive
4.) Glacier National Park
This one is ONLY for campers! Just kidding, their is a resort you can stay in or log cabins if you cant handle the grizzly bears! Glacier is one of the most beautiful places on earth from its turquoise blue water and the giant glaciers with breath taking views of mountains and lakes, if you like camping then you have to come here and check out the trails. My favorite is the High Line trail that is 20 miles long and will have you 6,600 feet above sea level, walking on a THIN trail only a few feet wide with a drop off that has to be a thousand feet! Leave your kids at home for this one. I was only 8 years old when I went on the High Line trail and as we were finishing our hike we seen everybody starting to climb up the side of the mountain clearing the trail, my family and I were confused but quickly confronted with a GRIZZLEY BEAR so we followed everybody else and started climbing up a steep face of a mountain to let this giant bear go through! Definitely wont forget that one!
This is a trip for the family, based on scenery and hiking, I would travel here June through august due to weather.

3.) Ouray Colorado
If your an adrenaline junky then I found your dream home! This little town deep in the rocky mountains is a hidden gem that doesn't get the attention it deserves! The most exciting thing to do in Ouray is renting a jeep for a week and going jeeping on the old mining trails from the 1800's, It is intense because you make one wrong move your going off a 500 ft. cliff!
While on your treck through the wild west you can find old mining towns that are amazing to see, they seem almost frozen in time as if everybody just dropped everything and never came back. I found a lot of cool mines to explore and really cool hidden lakes that you could never see without the jeep. One of the coolest things I ever did, I cant wait to go back someday!

2.) Vancouver Island
Vancouver has the most to do out of everywhere on this list, like bungee-jump tour or if that's not your thing try their zip line obstacle course at WildPlay Nanaimo
The fun is only beginning, the 5 hour rock rappel tour at Horne Lake is epic! You will climb, crawl and rappel down the seven story tall (25m.) underground waterfall called “The Rain barrel”
After that you can go on a kayaking tour through the bay and see all kinds of bald eagles, sea otters and of your lucky a whale, if your thing is whales then they have a tour just for you! whale watching tours genrally don't see much action but I was lucky enough to see a whole pod of killer whales and a humpback whale!
Before you leave make sure to go check out the forest and see the HUGE red wood trees.

The most Expensive on the list
1.) Playa Del Carmen, Puerto Aventura's Mexico
The Puerto Aventura's resort is an awesome place to be in Mexico, but not have to worry about being roofied by the bartender. It is absolutely beautiful all in inclusive resort with 5 restaurants, 3 bars and 2 pools over looking the ocean. When you get board of all the free food and beer you can eat, try checking out some of the Mayan temples in the area (Tulum, Coba).
If you like fun parks then Xel-Ha is like something you have never experienced before! Xel-Ha is Water park that is connect to the ocean and you swim with wild fish "YES, THIS DOES MEAN SHARKS". You start your excursion by jumping on a bus at your resort bright and early at 6 am, this is a all day event so make sure your up for that! After the bus picks you up you get dropped off at Xel-Ha and for the next 30 minutes you will go over all the activities in the park and trust me the presentation is much needed with all the activities their are to do! First you have option of ridding bike or riding the train to the entrance to the bay, on arrival gear up with snorkeling gear and you get ready to swim with the fish to get to all the activities. On the way to the other activities they know how to keep you entertained because they had spots ware you could get out of the water and jump off of 20-30 ft. cliffs! once you get to the rest of the activities you are going to be overwhelm with what to do first, from zip-biking, swimming with sting rays, swimming with dolphins, scuba diving tours, and a HUGE 153 ft. slide that looks like a light house! Their could be a story about that place alone!
