Popular Destinations

I frequently get email promotions and discounts from various hotel chains. Today's shouted "Save up to 20% at Popular Destinations!"

But I don't want to go where everyone else goes. Right now I want a vacation of solitude. A cottage on the beach where it's just me, the waves, the sand, the crying seagulls. A cabin deep in the woods next to an untouched stream. A camper parked beneath a mountain, sharing the silence and the sunsets.

I'm not opposed to sharing it with good friends, but I've never been drawn to the packed beaches of Cancun or the swarming streets of Vegas. There are famous places I'd love to see, but sometimes...I just want nature, pure and simple.
