For me - it is Orlando (hey I have a kid and a 50 year old Disney obsessed husband) and Lincoln, NH (because I like getting back to nature and walks in the woods).

With that said...
I do hope to head back to Sedona again and Aruba is a place I could go to annually.

I don’t know if I can say Hawaii anymore since I live here but I’ll say Molokai. :)

The only places we have visited multiple times is Orlando and Pompano Beach (closet Wyndham to my parents in Del Ray. But don't go anymore as they are dead). We will be visiting Smokey Mountains for the 2nd time in a few weeks.

Caribbean but never the same place 2 years in a row. Anywhere there is water and it’s warm. Although there have been places we have been more than once we will never be the people who go the same place 20 years in a row.

So much to see, so little time.....

You would have to pay us to go to Disney.

Caribbean from California- can I ask you about itineraries? Every time I’ve looked for flight Caribbean, the itineraries seem too time consuming from California. Do you just suck it up and go anyway? Or have you found some good airlines/routes that you like to use?

Enjoyed reading this thread--Tuggers returning annually is a very good recommendation.
For us: Williamsburg (weekend trips, 2 hr drive), Orlando, HHI. We love Smugglers Notch (if it were 5 hours vs 11 hr drive, we'd go EOY), same for Hawaii (too long a flight), Europe EOY, but not always the same place, but we're very partial to Marriott Ile de France and return whenever we're in the Paris area.

We just suck it up unfortunately, but we always go for 2 weeks. 11 hours transit with layovers is the norm, 16 hours the max, I draw the line at 24.

When searching airfare price and time are the most important.

I love the water, spouse needs warm clear water where he can see his toes.

Hawaii is a quick 5 hours, we have been once in 10 years. Enjoyed the road to Hana immensely but had to get in every waterfall alone since hubby doesn’t do cold water. The Caribbean makes us both happy. So far the only Caribbean island we won’t return to is St. Kitts spouse hated it. I have learned a car is a must for us so Mexico is also off the itinerary.

Once we retire (Nov 2020) we will expand our horizons and see Certain places in Europe but for longer trips.

Headed to French Polynesia in less than a week. San Jose to Lax to Tahiti to Raiatea to Tahiti to Moorea to Tahiti to LAX to SFO I haven’t even counted the hours on that one. On the return we have a 12 hour layover in LAX (booked a Marriott hotel), a once in a lifetime trip I am sure, but I am sooooo excited. I am going to swim with whales I hope I hope I hope!

OMG we went once and it was awesome. Easier trip for us than the Caribbean- eight hour straight shot from LA. Enjoy your trip, I’m jealous!

Only Hilton Head -- partly because we bought a pet-friendly condo there so we can vacation with our dog.

I'd return to Yellowstone much more often if we lived closer; maybe Hawaii too (been 4x but can hardly abide the flight-time now). Oh, and Swiss Alps.

Otherwise we prefer the discovery experience in places we haven't been. Often we'll repeat a destination once because there's always something we missed the first time, but not again and again.
