  1. How sweet to have a give-away. Congratulations on reaching 200+ followers. I have been to Europe and Hawaii but I have to say my most awesome moment was the first glimpse of Half Dome and the surrounding area from Glacier Point in Yosemite Nat'l Park. I really dislike mountain roads, hubs drove while I had a nerve wracked ride, but that view at the end of the ride was just awesome, so worth my terror.

  2. Hi Sue, Congrats on reaching 200+ followers!

    The nicest place we've gone on vacation is Jackman, Maine. We rent a little cabin on Moosehead Lake and revel in the absolute quiet and beautiful views.

    Those both look like great prize packages. Thanks for the chance to win!

  4. Congrats on your new followers and thanks for the chance to win! So far the best place I've been to is Portland, OR and the Oregon coast. Simply breathtaking. But I'm taking a three week vacation to Europe in October so hopefully I can top that experience!

  6. Congrats on the 200 followers!

    The most memorable place was at a private beach in Port Franks Ontario, Canada where my 2 yr old daughter got to spend a lot of the time enjoying the warm sand and sounds of the waves at the beach.

  7. Congrats on reaching your goal! Picking one place is very difficult. But if I had to choose it would be Alaska. We were there on summer solstice and it was just amazing. Talk about maximizing the time you have to do touristy stuff! Almost constant daylight tricks the mind into being up and awake. :)

  11. Congrats on your 200+ blog followers! How exciting!

    The most memorable place I have been so very fortunate to have visited twice is Ireland. The people are so wonderful. I will never find the right words to describe the beauty of the countryside. My favorite Bed and Breakfast accommodation is an old stone house in Kenmare. So many wonderful memories of my visits...

  12. Hi Sue, Love you cards and your creativity. Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
    I had a beautiful vacation to Mackinac Island, MI in 2011. Its a beautiful island wish I had a house there for summers, but my wish just vanished when we saw a ghost (maybe kind of ghost), first we thought it is our wild imagination but we googled and found that people really have seen some, so I think we saw a real ghost.. But it was a memorable & beautiful trip ..

  13. I think my most memorable trip was just last summer to Boston to see Fenway Park for the first time. I am a "Fenway Refugee", living in Oregon, so it was wonderful to see the Red Sox play at Fenway. I loved eating the lobster rolls and visiting Salem and Plymouth Plantation, too. It was a great trip. Thanks for the chance to win!

  14. Woohoo! Congrats on reaching 206 followers, Sue! The most memorable place I've been to on a holiday is the Dominican Republic for Christmas in 1997. It was the last time my entire family got together (after my grandmother passing away 6 months prior) and one of my cousins also got married (December 26th). It was a beautiful time!!! (:

  16. China it really was not a vacation but it will be the biggest and the best trip of my life as we adopted our daughter from Cina.

  17. Thank you for the chance to win these wonderful giveaways! My favorite vacation so far was to Sweden with my husband back in 2004. Just the right temperatures, a great taste of a different culture, but still easy to communicate and get around, and not overwhelming in terms of things you had to see/do.

  18. Congratulations on achieving your first milestone!
    Your cards are very inspirational and these gifts are desirable.
    My most memorable holiday was as a child at Kosi Bay, on the east coast of South Africa - I still remember the most beautiful little fishes in the tidal pools during low tide.

  20. woohoo and congrats on reaching 200!!! I have been trying to think of awesome places that I have been to, but the most memorable one is Bali where I slipped over on the first day of my honeymoon and broke my toenail off...not a good place to be with an injury, and not much fun really...but VERY memorable! lol
    And the Whitsunday Islands in Australia for a beautiful place to be!

  23. MARGATE, South Africa, for sure. We had rented a little house for real cheap, and were sitting as near the sea we could wish, we had a look through the window and saw the sea, only a road inbetween... The sunsets are so amazingly beautiful, and the sound of the sea goes to bed with you!

    Lovely give-away!

  24. The most beautiful, peaceful place I have been is the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. The rugged shoreline and pine tree forest are a place of rest and inspiration.

  37. Congratulations on your 200+ Sue! I can certainly see why you have reached that many followers, with the lovely cards you share. I think my most exciting vacation was 11 days in Dublin, then London, many years ago. My 2nd most enjoyable was a month long road trip out west to a lot of the US National Parks, seeing the wonderful natural sites in our country. Thanks for the chance to win the lovely blog candy, but congratulations to whomever wins. I'm a winner already, just looking at your gorgeous cards!!! Hugs.
