Today’s Tuesday Favorites has been brought to you by @CaseyGator

What’s your favorite vacation destination? It can be an actual location or a type, like a beach.

You can add one for summer and one for winter.

Cruising around the British Virgin Islands on a catamaran for a week. Captain and hostess taking care of every wish (within reason).

I love southwest Virginia. Beautiful area and low population.

Extreme SW Virginia yes indeed. I really like that stretch from west of Galax out west through Grayson County out towards the Mount Rogers/Mouth of Wilson area, notably home to famous high school hoops power Oak Hill Academy

Gorgeous area! We went on the Virginia Creeper bike trail and camped at Grayson Highland State park in October several years ago. I can’t recommend this enough for a family.

I'll take the keys and the warm water over either.

I will be on Kauai, the next island north of Oahu at that time. I want to go over and experience the USS Arizona Memorial if possible. I've been trying to do that for over a year now but reservations are really tough to come by unless you are on their site when they become available.

Been to the Arizona all three times we've gone to Hawaii. Haven't gone to the Missouri yet.

I’ve traveled a lot but mostly to the same areas over and over. For me winter is Colorado, specifically Vail/Eagle area. A close second would be the Mohonk Preserve area of NY. Summer I’m fine to stay right here in Florida and will take Juno Beach over anywhere else.

My nephew was a Marine in Oahu and a week before he was assigned to Mauritania he had a MRSA infection so he couldn’t go. A few weeks later when it healed, he went to Paris....looking for answers to questions that bothered him so....

Just about anywhere in the rocky mountains or great plains...summer or winter.

He wasn’t a piano player in England for a while was he?

Summer: Mountains to escape the Florida heat and humidity for a bit. Really like Blowing Rock, NC.

Winter: Your mom’s house of course. Never met anybody more eager to please.
