People are traveling more and more again. Many venues and destinations are offering great deals for last minute vacations. Road trips are more popular than ever, especially as gas prices start to go down again!
The following are some of my favorite places to visit. My top 10, although the list can probably top 100. Which of these cities/travel destinations have you visited or plan to visit this summer/year?
•Vermont
