FSO - Favourite Vacation Spots

The question was asked: 
Where do you love to vacation?
Do you go on vacation to rest and relax...
or do you DO vacation and keep busy with activities? 
 
For me, there are vacation categories.  Next year I will have a BIG vacation to a foreign land and I will do the whole tourist thing.  Most of the time, though, I take my annual leave in short breaks, three days here, four days there.  Some of them are for family things.  In a couple of weeks I will spend a week in Taranaki helping look after my little grandson while his mum is away. Last time I was there, at the beginning of May, the first snow of the season fell on the mountain.  

 
Each year I have a mid-winter break with a friend.  This is always an 'escape ' in the North, a time of no rules, do what we feel like doing, we wander and explore in our own fashion.  This year we went to a spot that we discovered last year.  A beautiful, unspoiled, isolated place with few people.  Very few.   This is my favourite sort of vacation spot.
 

I wonder if there are others who would choose this sort of vacation?  I'll be able to find out by having a look at the rest of the FSO team.
