You live in one beautiful area...don't you miss the snow shovel though..just a little? (grin)
I agree! Love Aspen, Captiva, and Park City too... The article asks readers for a favorite desitnation--
Gibson Island, MD - just 25 min from the BWI airport or Annapolis and an hour from DC (where I live) is a quick trip and a very special place on the Chesapeake Bay. Gibson Island has its own zipcode, 21056, and only 200 homes in a gated community with sailing, golf, tennis, swimming, dining.... ahhh....
I am so glad one of my favorite spots, Nantucket, is not on the list. Not nearly as beautiful as your island, but certainly not trendy like some of the other places on the list. I think you can find your own piece of heaven in lots of places, but HI will always been there near or at the top
Hi Georgina. Ah yes, our wonderful Maui, no wonder it's at the top.
Aloha!
After looking at that list, I'm thinking that it's a list of where people would like to have a second home, not where they actually do have a second home. Most of those places are pretty expensive. Heck, I'd like to have a first home in any of those places!
Georgina - wow, rated number one for a second home!!! Congratulations! We both live in such special places!
Georgina- Of course Maui is on the list! That is so exciting and very well deserved and you are the lucky gal who has been able to live that dream all these years:)
Georgina- And we are on the list here in Palm Beach Florida Too!
In fact, many of the people who live here in Wellington have a home in Palm Beach too which is only 9 miles from us:)
I couldn't agree more!! Have an awesome day!
Dawn
Want no Texas on the list, I shocked.... it may be on the Top 500 best places.
