Funny, I'm going there for the first time this year. Only problem is that I'll be missing a Redskins game. Anyone know any good bar spots that show all NFL games in Key West/Florida Keys area?

As far as great Vacation spots that I've been to:

If you want the beach, family wise (North) Myrtle Beach is great.

If you want to leave the mainland, Hawaii is nice, I go fairly frequently, but maybe its just me but for as nice as it is, people tend to over hype it. If you all go to Hawaii A) don't go to just one Island (or don't just go to Oahu) B) go for more than 1 week. Maui is the best island and is most like Hawaii in terms of what the mainland tourists think of it as.

Also if you want to go to the Bahamas or Virgin islands, Nassau is good, but St. Martin/Marteen is the best. Very quiet, very beautiful, very peaceful, lots to do. A week is just enough to tour/do everything on the island. The most beautiful beach in the world that I've ever been is there, called Prickly Pear. It looks like that beach from your computer desktop background. I would easily go back to St. Martin over a trip to Hawaii any day of the week.

If you don't want to go to a beach, somewhere local and beautiful are the local Shenandoah mountains. We have a cabin up there thats 20 minutes from the Shenandoah river and is in the forest, great for hunting in the winter, fishing in the summer. The wildlife you can see in Virginia is amazing.

Skiing wise, I'm still trying to go to Vale CO and Jackson Hole WY. Which is better of the two?

I agree that Florida has some of the best beaches. Been to Miami's beach. Hear great things about Key West from people, especially from people who have been and have been to the same places I have.

I've been to Cancun and the western beaches of Mexico. I wasn't impressed and it was way to crowded.

Thailand is beautiful and very tourist friendly. But obviously a LOT of money to travel to.

Been to Toronto. There was a trash strike there so I didn't get to see the ''good side'' of the city.

NYC is still the best city in the world. If you can't find something to do there, theres something wrong with you. I still need to get up there to see the new WTC memorial.

I still want to go to Australia and Bora Bora.
