Husband and I LOVE Hawaii and Italy. We recently moved to new york but go to LA 4-6 times a year. We love Laguna Beach, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. I am happy with most accomadations while my husband is a bit of a snob when it comes to luxury hotels. He is VERY picky about cleanliness and over all "plushness" of a resort. Money is not usually a factor when we vacation. We fill time off is worth every cent.
