I am interested in learning what cities everyone has been to as a tourist, not on business or visiting family. What places did you study about in advance and then take a vaction at for no other reason than to enjoy yourself? If you feel the family ties are necessary because you planned both in coordination, that is okay as well. :thumbsup:

Only been to Texas tagging along on business trips though. Surprisingly, I've done more travelling in the northeast even though I live here (relatives).

*Note that I'm only listing major cities. I've been to many smaller ones, but those are hard to keep track of.

Florida:

Lake Wales (grandfather lived down there), Tampa, Panama City, Orlando, Daytona Beach, the cities around the Space Center, St. Augustine

South Carolina:

Greenville, Anderson, Charleston, Beaufort, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head Island, Columbia

North Carolina:

Charlotte, Asheville, Outer Banks, Cherokee
