You Must Be Trippin'

2 years ago I went to the East coast and was spell bound by the Canadian beauty. I only got enough time to tour Nova Scotia and would love to go back to Newfoundland, PEI and Labrador. The people were amazing!

I will be traveling to New York this year.

I would love to travel to Costa Rica!

Truthfully, my travel regret was that I didn't go to the BATA shoe factory in Toronto. i was actually only a 15 minute walk away.

I missed out on a chance to travel to Australia to meet some friends. Definitely going this year.

I'd like to travel to Florida and maybe Vegas this year.

My travel resolution is to try to go somewhere this summer with my husband and kids. Would love to get away for a weekend

i would like to goto las vegas

Got to Vegas but missed the Grand Canyon :( I really want to go and do the Sky Walk it looks amazing and will not doubt get me over my fear of heights.....maybe!

I would like to travel to Iceland.

I want to go to Carlsbad this year!

I hope to go to China

I want to travel to Las Vegas this year (and probably am). Wife and I went in 2010 to see our favorite band 311 but didn't get to see a whole lot in our 2 days and nights there. We would love to go for an extended weekend and see it all!

I would like to visit Africa and go on a safari.

I have not traveled internationally in a few years and i missed opportunities in 2011 to travel domestically and internationally. I hope 2012 is the year for me to travel and explore.

I have been planning a trip to Hawaii for about 20 years - I am hoping that this will be the year I finally go!

Would love to go to California!! Never been to the west coast. The Pacific is calling me......

I would love to travel to Costa Rica!!! :-)

One of my goals for this year is a 3 month road trip within the United States broken into different stages: California, southwest, and Florida. Nothing beats a road trip with your family exploring the coastline, towns, and National Parks - Craig :)

Last year I wanted to go to New Orleans. I kept looking at flight prices and one dropped to a good deal, but I hesitated and didn't buy and suddenly the price had gone over my budget. My student budget can only afford so much, but this year I'm determined to make it to New Orleans. Whether by plane, bus, train, boat or my own two feet I'll get there.

Last year I wanted to go to Russia, but I forgot the check visa requirements (rookie error - what an idiot!) and didn't have enough time to get my papers and pay for the visa so I could not go.

My travel regret for 2011, is that I did not take more days off and enjoy vacation. My 2012 resolution is to take time for myself and travel more often. I am going to visit Georgia for the first time in April for business and I plan on taking an extra few days to take it all in!

Yellowstone! I've been all around it; this is the year to go.

I wanted to take a birthday trip to Hawaii so I could surf North Shore in 2011...didn't happen, but it's a new year, and the waves are still there...so I want to go for my birthday in two months! :)

I would love to travel to London, England. I went about five years ago with my parents and absolutely loved the city and all its culture.
Luckily, I am now in a relationship with a resident Londoner, and I cannot wait to travel the city with her and have her show me London from a Londoner's point of view! I'm planning on traveling there this coming August.

I'm in SE Michigan and have not been north for several years. Its time to get back up to Mackinac area and the UP..

Resolute to get back to Jamaica for our anniverssary!

My trip is a simple one that would mean tlahe world to me.I would travel to Virginia to visit my Dad whom I didn't get to see during the Holidays.My Mom is also laid to rest there and it would allow me to visit her grave which I have only got to do twice in 8 years.

Regret not going to Disneyland with the kids! Planning for late 2012! Love it!

I hope to go to either Rome or Maui this year. I went to Rome back in 2004 & loved everything about it ... the culture ... Night life...etc. Last year I went to Honolulu and it was absolutely splendid. Therefore, I'd like to explore the other Hawaiian islands. Hopefully, I can put Maui in my bucket list. Of course, I'd prefer to stay at a Best Western at either destination.

Need a trip to amish country in mid ohio to visit my brotther's widow

I"m in MIchigan and have family in southern Tennessee as well as Florida - need to get there to visit as they have health issues.

Resolution in 2012 is to travel more. Would love to go to Europe staying in Best Western hotels. I have read reviews of several of the Best Western hotels there that sound wonderful.

Would also love to go up to the North Shore of Lake Superior and stay in the Best Western in Grand Marais. I've read great reviews for this hotel, also.

Really, I'm just happy traveling - locally or far away. I did quite a bit of travel last year but I do regret not picking up and going even more often!

I would like to travel to New York and run the marathon there

I want to travel to New York and run the marathon

my travel resolution for 2012 is to go to a country i haven't been before

I really wanted to take my kids to Oregon to see my sister, then down to Disneyland in 2011. Unfortunately, our home was flooded in May 2011 and so our plans had to wait. We are hoping to be able to make the trip in 2012, if we can save up the money.

I would love to take my grand-daughter to Oregon to see the gaint redwoods.

I would like to go this yaer to Iceland.

I was looking forward to returning to the beautiful Best Western Pismo Beach in 2011...We stayed there in 2010 and were so impressed, we planned to make it an annual event when we made our yearly visit to California to see relatives...Unfortunately, we had too many obligations last year. I hope to take the family once again this year.

Ten years ago, a dear friend who used to live in Philadelphia, moved back to the town where she was born in Indiana for family reasons. Another friend and I are planning to drive up to see her for her 65th birthday in May. She doesn't know this yet - but we've already booked our stay at Best Western in Elkhart and plan to take in several of the area's festivities - Memorial Day opening of the Amish Quilt Garden and the famous Farmer's Market and Auction at Shipshewana. After all these years, the 3 of us being together again will be the very best present and a wonderful trip.

My regret is I didn't come prepared enough for any of my trips! This year I plan to be prepared and make sure I plan ahead to enjoy every aspect of the trip I am looking forward to!

Wish I would of made it out to see my family for PLEASURE not for SICKNESS this year we will do that!

My wife and I have traveled in or through 45 of the 50 states. This year 2012 we plan to include Oregon and Washington to bring the total to 47 states.

I would love to take my grandkids on a trip this year!

Regret not camping & fishing in the Rocky Mountains as much and traveling to Durango in 2011. 2012 these trips will be made...

My Resolution this year is to make it to see my family and my fiance's family this year I know everyone wants to see how big our 17 month old has gotten!

I have always wanted to travel to Australia and/or New Zealand. A friend of mine is going there on business this year so it might be my big chance to go!

3 options really. I need to visit my family in TX I hadnt seen in a cpl of yrs. Or go on a mini vacation with the BF since we have our kids with us and spend everything on them. nice to do something for us for once and 3rd option. We will be driving to CA this year to see my BF's family he hadnt seen in 5 yrs. Will be a long drive. will have to stop off at a hotel Preferably best Western :)

Last year my family and I didn't get to go to the Outer Banks, NC like we wanted to so this year we are bound and determined to go! It's been 4 year's since we've been on a family vacation.

Belize! Gotta get down there before the world ends in December right? Make sure those Mayan people oh so many years ago were correct?! Grimace........

Belize!! I want to go to Belize! Have to get down there before the world ends in December.........not! Funky Mayans and their goofy calendar right?! The Belize Best Western Biltmore Plaza is calling my name..........

This October, I will be travelling to NYC for New York Comicon & Anime Festival! I am rounding up the family and hoping to "stay over" in NY to make the four day convention. It would be a shame to have to travel back and forth each day from PA to NY. The travel card would be a blessing for us!

We are headed to Maui and Kauai in January. We are six months into location independence, so we will be doing a lot of blogging and traveling in 2012!

My regreat is that I didnt do any traveling in 2011 and my resolution is to try to get to Tennessee this year to visit family :)

My travel resolution for 2012 is to fly Round-the-World and visit five new countries.

Haven't had a vacation in 7 years and our family resolution is to take at least one trip this year, no matter how short. Even if its only to San Francisco for a day or two. I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old, and I know they would have fun as long as we are in a hotel!

I will travel to Berlin, Germany to discover an amazing city in the heart of Europe that I've always dreamed of visiting.

My regret for 2011 was I was unable to make it out to Fl to see my grandmother when she was sick, and my travel resolution for 2012 is to go see her before its to late and to visit with my sister and her family...maybe go to Disney world. Life is to short so I am going to make the most of what I have in life and be joyful for all that is around me.

Hoping to get to Palm Springs to see the Follies. Also want to visit San Antonio, TX as well as Savannah, GA. Lots of places in the good old USA on my bucket list. Would also love to go to DC and NYC to take in all the sights!

Well I have lived in 5 or 6 countries and worked and vacationed in close to 30 countries. I live in Los Angeles, and guess what, I have NEVER BEEN TO THE GRAND CANYON. So my wish for 2012 is to take a classic road trip, in my beater little PT Cruiser to the Grand Canyon. I plan to stop at Taco Bell along the way and when I get there would like to watch the sunset and drink a cold beer. Then I can check in to the comfy room at Best Western :-)

My resolution for this year is to take more time out to travel. I didn't get to go anywhere last year and this year I would like to hit Las Vegas, California, and Hawaii. I also would like to be able to go visit some of my relatives that I haven't seen in a while on the other side of the country.

Every year I swear that I will visit Savannah and Charleston, but every year it slips through my fingers and something comes up. Maybe this will be the year!

I would dearly love to get back to Hawaii with my husband. We have been there a number of times but still haven't made it to the Big Island and I'd love to see it!

I'd dearly love to go back to Hawaii with my husband. We have been there a number of times but have yet to visit the Big Island and I'd love to visit there!

I'll return to Europe next month!

Going to the 2012 CMA Festival in Nashville in June!

How is it that I haven't been to Thailand yet? Catastrophe.
This must be there year!

My 2011 travel regret was only taking one short camping trip during 2011. My 2012 resolution is to get away from everyday stress more and make more time for me!

I would love to take our family to Fredericksburg, Virginia. My sophomore loves history and this would be so interesting, educational and relaxing.

I would love for our family of 3 to visit Fredericksburg, VA. My 16 year old loves History and this would be educational, fun and relaxing.

I would love to see Montana Big Sky Country - take in the fresh air - hear the bugs see the beautiful stars see the sights

I would go just about anywhere.

I want to go see the Rockies...Ive never been farther west than KY and in my minds eye, I see a beautiful land loaded with picturesque views and snow so crisp and clean that you could eat. Its my dream to eventually go there.

I've been trying to take a road trip with my granddaughters for the past two years and we haven't been able to coordinate the times and places. Before I'm too old or they're too old, I'd sure like to take that trip this year.

I would love to travel to Brazil so I can take my boyfriend to Carnival!

I was supposed to go to Thailand last year but then they had the massive flooding. I'm hoping to go this year and check out Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket.

Looking forward to going back to Prague, CZ

I'm approaching a milestone birthday this year, and will finally be crossing a bucket-list destination off of my list...Greece! I would love to stay in style in Athens while greeting the cradle of democracy.

I would love to go on a cruise

I regret that we did not take the big family vacation last yest but plan on doing it this one.

I would like to travel to VA Beach with my kids this year!

My resolution is to look into those not-so-famous places and see what they have to offer! :)

My plan this year for 2012 is to see Europe. I have family there and I have never gone!

My plans for 2012 is to see Europe. I have family there but I have never gone!

Lets go to Costa Rica!

My biggest regret is not having enough time to visit Universal Orlando during our WDW vacation last year. There just wasn't enough time to do both.

I was hoping to travel to Germany in 2011 to visit a friend. Unfortunately it was not to be. I am hoping to go in 2012.

I want to take my daughter to Disney. She more than deserves it after living with juvenile arthritis. Did you know kids get arthritis too?

I regret that we didn't take an extra day to go to Drumheller, Alberta

I could only fit one trip to Pittsburgh to visit our new grandson because of work commitments. Staying with them is a problem as the apt. is small and I have to stay at a nearby hotel. Price is an issue for more than a few trips a year.

Travel Regret - Not being able to get to Panama during the 6 month span my friend was living there.

My biggest travel regret is having travel regrets in the first place!

I need to stop worrying about what I will regret and instead enjoy the trip!

I can't go everywhere (though I will happily try) and I assume that I will be going back.

i would love to see the east coast of canada, ive been many places but regret that ive never made it to see this part of canada

Would love to visit Asia this year

Somewhere I did not get to travel to on 2011 which I would like to in 2012 is to travel to UAE (Dubai).

Somewhere I did not get to travel to on 2011 which I would like to in 2012 is to travel to UAE (Dubai).

Hawaii! Heard it is paradise.

Somewhere I did not travel to in 2011 that I really want to go in 2012 is Dubai, UAE.

Want to travel to Punta Cana

Not being able to enjoy Maui! In 2012 we're going to the Jamaica to make up for it!

I REGRET NOT WINIING ANY GREAT TRIPS IN 2011

My 2012 Travel Resolution is to do more traveling! :)

My travel resolution is to spend my 40th birthday this spring on the beach anywhere in Mexico! Sun, sand, and sangria!

Thid year, I will travel alone for the first time in my life. I will also do it completely spur of the moment instead of having an itinerary for everything. The rough plan is to enjoy the DC area and head down there by car from Canada. Time to leave my kids and husband at home for once and find myself again.

My husband and I went to Las Vegas last year. We spent way too much time and money at the casinos. We should have gone to see more shows instead...
"Travel resolution for 2012" Stay away from the casinos and put more money into Arts and Culture!

I plan to take more trips around Canada, so this would be great

Tasmania Australia, Tried through a work exchange, but came in second place. My brother and sister live there. For several years we have been talking about going, but it is a lot of $ for a family of 5.

i will travel to rome this year in the summer, i hope!

travelled to New Zealand and decided not to go swimming with the dolphins - should have just gone for it... will be quite a while before the next opportunity.

Hawaii!

I didn't coin the phrase 'I AM CANADIAN', but rejoice in that fact that I am. Have visited many provinces and remember dipping my toes in the Atlantic Ocean. In 2012, to establish a new memory with my 8 year old son, a vacation to Nova Scotia would be ideal. Nightly we envision a trip there. To have lobster, go clam digging, fishing, breathe the salt ocean air and with footprints in the sand, dip our toes in the ocean surf, a lifetime memory to cherish.

I had to work at the last min my relief got sicklll

Going to Spain to collect rocks

I had the opportunity to drive across Canada to BC ...and I didnt go ... looking at my friends pictures afterwards, made me regret it instantly ! Its definately on my summer of 2012 list.

I've never been to a beach resort, that's the plan for this year, now to decide where.

I would love to go to vancouver

Hopefully Florida, never been there!

My travel resolution is to make a strict budget to adhere to when I go on my trip so I will not overspend!

We don't get the opportunity to travel much, due to budget restrictions. At my hubby's Christmas 2010 work party, we were extremely lucky to win a travel voucher. Our vacation in April 2011 (which was kind of our honeymoon, except it was on our 4th anniversary) was great!, but I regret the fact that we didn't choose a family trip and bring our 3 yr old. My 2012 travel resolution is to somehow get our now 4 yr old daughter to a beach, as she really wants to go to one! Winning would make that much easier :)

My husband and I moved to the Twin Cities two Augusts ago and we said to ourselves that we want to visit as many places we can up north before moving on to our next place. With times being hard we are only able to go on one or two trips a year. This summer we want to travel to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, stay in Rapid City and swing over to the Badlands. It will be a great trip once we figure out all the details. Winning would make this trip a lot easier on the pocketbook! Thanks for doing this giveaway! :-D

eating lobsters in Newfoundland!

My biggest travel regret of 2011 was not going to the Calgary stampede. This has always been a dream of mine and I live in Ontario so I was planning to drive. Well things came up and we were unable to go. This year we are going no matter what! I all ready have our stampede tickets in my filing cabinet. The hotel rooms are booked and we are really looking forward to it. This gift card would help us out so much because as coincidence has it we are booked in at the Best Western in Calgary! Then we are heading to Edmonton and I am booked into a Best Western there as well for 2 nights. Sure looking forward to visiting the west!

I regret not making it to California in 2011 and visiting my best friend but 2012 is the year!!

I am traveling to Rome this year and will never take the train ever again as last time I was in Rome the gypsies were following us everywhere!

My only travel regret in 2011 was that we didn't stay in NYC longer!

Wished we could have made it to las Vegas this past year.......maybe this year
!!!

My biggest travel regret in 2011 was visiting my in-laws in Quebec. Enough said...

My biggest regret was not going to Oakland over Thanksgiving to see my sister! My parents live in Seattle and I live in Connecticut, but she lives with her husband in Oakland. Unfortunately, they both had to work over thanksgiving and christmas, so even though I went to Seattle to see my parents for both holidays, I didn't get to see my sister. I should have gone to Oakland instead for thanksgiving!

I will try to travel to saint Johns Newfound landHad a great time there many years ago and would love to go agaoin

Atlantis in Dubai!

I have friends in Long Island and Washington DC that I haven't seen in years... I'd like to drive down and visit them in 2012.

I regret that I haven't made it to the rock and roll hall of fame in Cleveland in 2011, but I will go in 2012.

I have never been to Las Vegas and would love to go there this year.

I'd like to see more of Canada this year.....there's no place like home!

My family really wanted to go to the maritimes this year but it just didnt pan out, so we are hoping to go this year

I would like to go visit my brother and nephew in British Columbia....

I would love to travel to Los Angeles in 2012 and see all the sites and sounds of Hollywood!

I would love to travel to Los Angeles in 2012 and see all the sites and sounds of Hollywood!

I would like to travel to London on 2012.

My regret travelling abroad in 2011: When I was in Europe, thinking I had way more euro in my pocket than needed (the second last day), I started paying everything in cash. Only found out I need cash on the last morning :(

I want to travel to the okanogan this summer

We have resolved to travel some where we have never been during 2012

My wife & I stayed at Best Western in White Bear Lake, MN back in September. It was a very nice room with a fireplace & dinning area. They even left little rubber duckies for us on the towels by the sink & hot tub in the room! I had the room reserved a month in advance, but still didn't get it for more than 1 night, so we stayed the in Minneapolis & Wisconsin & Iowa the rest of our vacation seeing other areas. If I had booked the room earlier, we possibly could have stayed in White Bear Lake longer, but it was obviously a popular place to stay last September.

In 2012, it would be nice to visit Washington state with my wife. I'll be saving up points to use on the trip, so we'll possibly be flying or riding Amtrak with Best Western rewards when we go. Staying in so many hotels for work means staying for free on vacation.

I regret not taking more road trips in 2011. This year I really plan to ramp up the road trips, and get out as often as possible, with the help of Best Western of course! :)

I hope to actually get a chance to travel this year.

My travel resolution for 2012 is to get in the car and drive. We moved last year and it made it difficult with quiting my job and starting over. Now that it's been 6 months and I feel we're settling in I want to just get out and enjoy where ever the road takes us. Let's explore

My travel resolution for 2012 is to travel down to the US for my 5th year high school reunion!

My regrets were not being prepared and taking time. I tend to leave everything to the last minute then rush forget things or so on. My resolution this year is to prepare more and research prior to booking everything,

My husband and I stayed at the Best Western in Tofino a few years ago and that is where he proposed to me. The hotel was right on the beach and we loved it. We haven't had a chance to get back there since but it is where I would like to visit again someday.

I want to take my family out west to see my family.

I regret not making it back to Las Vegas in 2011 but I have promised myself that I will go in 2012.

I regret going to begad for the first time and not going to see old vegas! I also wish I went with a different crew but hey its a new year so i am ready for new adventures!

Thanks!

My travel resolution is to go on a trip with hubby by ourselves once per year.

i would like to travel to Ontario or Quebec to visit friends.

Every summer we try to get up island to Parksville BC; we didn't make it in 2011. We've taken our kids there for years while they were growing up. Its a magical place!

thanks

MY GOAL IS TO GT TO CALGARY

I would love to go to Australia to meet family I have never met before

My Goal is to go on Vacation this year I never go and I deserve to see the world!

My goal is to visit my 93 year old Father in High Prairie, Alberta

My travel regrets for 2011 is that I didn't travel at all. I would like to resolve to travel at least once or twice in 2012 (maybe get married too). A $250 gift card would certainly help us make travel plans. Thanks for the contest!

My travel regret is I didn't travel at all. I would like to have a few days to travel this year!

My resolution this year. Travellllll, I never did and I am 41, time now befor it's to late.

Would love to visit Peru!

Since we are moving this year we will have to settle for a mini holiday. We are thinking of going back to Cincinnati Ohio. We went there about 4 years ago and it is a great place set on the beautiful Ohio River. This time I want to take a cruise on the Ohio River, go to the Cincinatti Zoo, their children's museum in the old railway terminal, and since my kids love rides we have to return to King's Island.

My resolution this year is to do at least two weekend getaways. It is always nice and refreshing to step away from the grind for a couple of days.

I regret that I did not travel more last year.

Travel with my family to my husbands birthplace in France.

I would love to go to Florida.

I wanted to go to Montreal last year but could not afford it. My plan is to go this year for sure...I am already saving up!

My travel resolution for 2012 is to get away for at least one night with my significant other as we have never had a night away alone.

Actually use all my vacation days this year.

My regret is my recent first trip to florida, that I didn't sit back and relax and enjoy the time there. Next time I will sit my arse on the beach and just chill.

went on vacation this past summer in San Diego, but felt i was racing around to much with daily acitvities. One must properly plan enough time to relax, that would be a regret. However, always looking forward to the next vacation and staying at BW.

I wish I would have traveled to San Francisco, CA with my daughter. We would have really have enjoyed are selves. We have friends and family ther and we are going this year! No more regrets!

I'd like to see the New England area and Niagra Falls for the first time. My husband hasn't been either and we'd like to take our kids to see the beautify of this area of the country.

I love the beach so much. I have fibro and nerve damage in my feet. Being at the beach always makes me feel so much better. Not sure if it is the warmth, salt air but it works. I really like going to Destin to just relax. Did not get to go in 2011 so 2012 may be the right fit.

I was born in TN and went back every summer until about 10 years ago. I would love to see the mountains again and visit family.

I would love to visit my family back in Idaho, I moved to New York City a year ago for school and have not been able to make it back for a while.

Instead of always going to the US on vacation, spend time time exploring Canada, preferably the East Coast

I regret that I was unable to take my family to Eygpt. With the political problems in the country, I'm hoping to go either this year or maybe next year.....or maybe the year after that!

I hope to travel to Florida this winter!!!!

I want to travel to Florida. I would love to one day visit Walt Disney World. I love Disneyland and living in California have visited many times. I have never visited WDW and it has been a long time dream of mine.

I have a very full travel year. I am hoping to go to Cincinnati this June to a conference and hope to see the Pompeii and French painters exhibit while I am there. My second trip will include Boston, to visit a friend, Ottawa, to see the Mayan and Van Gogh exhibits, Toronto, to see the Picasso exhibit, Stratford, to see plays, and London and Cambridge to visit family. And I am sure I will be staying at some Best Westerns while I am there!

Love to go to Kansas to see my family

My goal is to travel abroad at least one time this year.

Last year we planned to go to Las Vegas for the first time but didnt have the funds to do so, this year we just might make it :) A Gift card for the hotel would be a great thing to help too :)

Would love to go visit my friend out near Topeka, KS.!

Take time to enjoy Canada's East Coast

My regret is never going anywhere alone with my fiancee. We will be getting married July 14, 2012. After the wedding, we plan to drive to the Black Hills and then continue down to Denver.

I want to take my son to Disney World. That was my plan last year, but things haven't been going as planned this new 2012! By the way things are going, looks like I wont be able to. Not losing hope though!

to visit the oceans of the world

We have been wanting to go somewhere for the last few years, but our finances have made it difficult. We love the beach and would like to try to go this year! But seriously, any place laid back and quiet would be just fine. Would love to go to Sea World or an aquarium, I love the ocean.

I would like to go home to CT and MA to visit grandkids and family.

I regret never taking a trip alone with my fiancee. Once we get married this summer, we plan on driving to the Black Hills and then continue on down to Denver. This will be some much needed alone time.

to visit peru

I wanna go back to Europe with my girfreind and visit other places than the one we have already visited.

I would like to go to Arizona this year to golf with my hubby and see the Grand Canyon. Too busy with work to enjoy any quality time playing!

My regret for 2011 is not being able to take more trips with my Grandsons.
My resolution for 2012 is to take them to the beautiful beaches in Monterey Ca. .

I hope to travel to Florida this winter!!!

I'm sorry I didn't stay in a Best Western this last time we took a car trip at the end of the year(2011); we stayed at another and didn't not appreciate the lack of amenities that every Best Western we've ever stayed in had! We will only be staying at Best Western on any and all trips!

Would like to travel to Kansas or Minnesota to visit some friends.

We would love to take a beach vacation to Myrtle Beach or Northern Florida. We have a 12 year old and a baby on the way and we really wanted to take one last family vacation before the baby arrives, but because of our tight budget we were unable too.

My travel regret for 2011 was my arrival in Sorrento, Italy.

I left Rome early in the morning, and two trains later I arrive in Sorrento, where I have already booked a hotel for the stay. Walk down the Corso Italia and arrive at my hotel. Front desk is expecting me. Then I discover my passport is gone.

Many phone calls later, my stay in Sorrento, and trips to Capri and Pompeii are gone. I leave at six AM the next morning to return to Rome and get a new passport.

Spent the final three days of my vacation at a beach hotel in Fiumicino.

I will be traveling this year to a lot of Nascar races. Also may think about takin a trip before my son starts college in fall.

I hope to travel to Florida this winter!!!

any place! it's been a crazy year and we didn't get to go anyplace!

Two of my sisters went to Myrtle Beach summer of 2011. My husband and I would like to go to Myrtle Beach and see why everyone love's it so much there and our wedding anniversary is June 9th. That would be awesome to spend our anniversary there!!

There are many places that I would love to see this year with the Washington DC area being #1. There is so much to see when it comes to buildings and history. As a photographer, I would love to take advantage of the sights to really add to my collection. Of course the 2nd place in the US would be the Pacific Northwest with Iceland being close behind that.

I have never been to Alaska and would love to go.

I hope to travel to Florida this winter!!!

Our travel resolution for 2012 is to make it to the east coast or Florida for our wedding anniversary this year!

I really wanted to go to The King Biscuit Festival in Helena, AK last year. That will definitely have to be a destination for 2012 as well as Kansas City.

I would love to go to the Best Western in Williams Arizona again.The Grand Canyon is nearby. Loved it! Then head North for a few days.

Maybe this year I'll get to Tuscany, Portugal, or Australia.

My regret in 2011 was when traveling thru Tn with my daughter, I didnt stop to go thru the caves. My only regret when I went on the trip.

I want to take my grand niece to Colorado. She is 15 and her mom (my niece that we raised) died in a car accident in April of 2011. She is such an amazing child and is dealing with her mother's death as best she can. I think she deserves a trip!

I would love to visit the Smithsonian Museums of Washington DC!

Regret not visiting family in Idaho or taking more small trips. Look forward to doing both things this year!

I would like to go to Old Town San Diego with my wife and just relax for a couple of day. We used o go there when we were younger, but it has been difficult these last several years.

I has a cruise booked but broke up with my husband shortly prior to departure. He went alone and I stayed home. Story of my life, had no vacation at all last year. I hope this year I get the opportunity to travel somewhere exciting.

I will be traveling to Hawaii for the first time this year! Cannot wait! :D

Regrets: not enough travel, an obvious one I know but more specifically I want to go to every State in the US and last year I didn't go to a single new State, this year I am going to go to at least one new State and have a look around.

We are making a few road trips this year including to Ohio to see mom for easter and also Disney with their new specials so I know their is best western plus in orlando

I would love to travel to New Orleans. There is so much history New Orleans and I think it would be remarkable to see the re-building of the city after rising from the catastrophic event of the Hurricane that occurred there.

My husband and I would like to visit New York City and see the sights. Both our daughters have been there and love the City, now it its our turn so I say, BRING IT!!!

Regret not visiting family in Idaho or taking more small trips. Look forward to doing both things this year!

Last yr. I regret not going thru the caves in Tn. when I was traveling with my daughter.

I'd like to go back to Banff, Alberta. Its beautiful up there with lots of wildlife.

My resolution is to travel to see my folks in 2012!

My husband and I would like to visit New York City and see the sights. Both our daughters have been there and love the City, now it is our turn so I say, BRING IT!!!

I just want to be able to go on a road trip with my husband and daughter. I want her to remember getting to go on great vacations as a child and how much fun we had. Maybe a trip to the Grand Canyon or to the Smoky Mountains. Any where with my family would be great.

No travel all work 2011. But have Plans for trip sometime this 2012,hopefully.

we were in denver for a wedding and just didn't have the time to get down to springs and hike through the garden of the gods and get over to the air force academy. Well a good reason to get back out there!

We did not get to California so I could drive a locomotive from my bucket list. This is on the list for 2012 and we have already selected the BW to stay in while we are there. We are also going to check out another BW in Los Angeles for a future trip to CA to catch a 28 day cruise to the South Pacific. Best Western leads the way and we stay at them whenever possible.

I didn't make it to a relative's wedding in Albuquerque, NM in 2011. Family is too important to miss big events like that! I will hopefully make it for a visit in 2012!

I wanted to go to New York City to spend time w/ my kids.Due to ill health was unable to do so .hope to do it sometime in 2012!

My regret is that I keep getting close to crater lake (within visiting distance) but never actually get to drive to the lake. I am really making an effort to do just that this year, hopefully on the motorcycle.

My travel regret this year is we didn't go anywhere!!!!

This year I hope to take the kids to California and maybe go to England to see family and friends!

We moved to the east coast in 2010 and haven't had the chance to visit New York City yet. So if I'd win this travel check I can finally go and check out the Big Apple!

Would like soooo much to get back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to see the sights, shop, and enjoy delicious meals! Good luck to all !

We moved to the east coast in 2010 and haven't had the chance to visit New York City yet. So if I'd win this travel check I can finally go and check out the Big Apple!

Would very much like to get back to the Miss.Gulf Coast for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. Good luck, everyone.

I have always wanted to explore around Flathead Lake and this year I will go. I plan to stay at Polson and use the BW there as my base of operations.

Last year I stepped out on faith & came to New York for a 3 month internship but due to finances was unable to see the city. Imagine everyday for 3 mons being in a magical city like NYC and never getting to take it in due to having to run & catch my train to return to NJ where I was staying. I have moved to NJ with family and would love to have a weekend in NYC to explore. The past year has been stressful and full of hardships but a weekend to relax and take in the new year would be a blessing. I have sacrificed so much to achieve my dream I find I no longer know what luxuries of life are at the age of 25. I know life is too short & I am losing valuable years. So I am setting a goal for a weekend in NYC for R & R, sightseeing, picture taking, and people watching.

Deffinitely to tour Texas.

Australia has always been top on my list of places to visit and I would love a return trip to Venice, Italy, with my husband.

My wife and I will be travelling, first to Duluth, MN on Feb 1st, staying at a Best Western, then the next day flying out to Las Vegas (where Ive never been before), to See Drew Carey's Improv-a-ganza on the Friday, and then UFC 143 the Saturday night!!!

My husband and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary on a Hawaiian cruise to and from Vancouver! Later in the year more traveling around North America.

I would love to see the upper west coast.Oregon,Washington and maybe dip into Canada.

In 2012 I have a resolution to take a trip, a trip somewhere I havent gone simply because we only live life once!

I travel every week so most destinations I've already been. So I'd like to travel in 2012 to oregon to see the coastline

My biggest regret is not travelling to Scotland in 2011. Hopefully this year.

I had a desire to visit Eureka Springs, AR in 2011 and I intend to make it there this summer. I heard the fresh, magical springs help aches and pains and I cannot wait to try it out.

I wanted to visit my inlaw in Mississippi but was not able to. I have only meet them once and have not been to their home.

Its been years since i have visited my aunt and cousins in Pismo Beach. She turned 80 in Feb of last year and i wanted to be there for her birthday. She looks and talks just like my mother who past away in 1982 at only 57 . I still miss her and being around my aunt and cousins brings back great memories. Would love to take them to one of my favorite places in the area Solvang and have some fun.

We didn't make it to Vegas !!! It has been years and we really really really must go this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I'd travelled to Scotland in 2011. Maybe this year.

MaChu Picchu or maybe the Pacific coast highway.

Canberra and Freemantle, Austraila to visit friends that I have not seen in 20 yrs.

I would love to go out west in 2012. for my 2011 forty anniversary with our friends for their forty anniversary

I did not get to travel to Colorado last year to go skiing with my wife. Maybe 2012 will be better!

My aunt turned 80 last year and could not get off work to visit her in Pismo Beach for her 80th birthday in February. She acts talks and looks just like mu mom who died when i was 27 in 1982. So when I am with her and my cousins who also live in area it brings back so many great memories.

I did not get to travel to Colorado last year to go skiing with my wife. Maybe 2012 will be better!

We are going to the Best Western Fallsview for Family Day.

I hope to go to Flathead Lake and explore the area, using the BW in Polson as a base of operations.

We'll be heading to the to the White Mountains in VT and the coast of Maine in April. Tried numerous times to make the trip in 2011 but something always came up.

We are planning a trip to lower Florida in March with some friends (we stayed at Key West at Best Western last March and loved it). We love to ride our motorcycles but didn't get a lot of chances last year due to my husband's knee replacement surgery in May 2011. We were planning on going to Door County, Wisconsin last July but couldn't due to his recovery. That is now our plan this year. Hoping to find a Best Western up there to stay in there.

I would like to travel to the area that I grew up in, Durango, Co. I have not been there for over 20 years and would like to show my family where I grew up, my son's great grandparents had a farm/orchard and where I went to school.

Travelling to Vegas is the top one in my travel plan

Our resolution trip for 2012 is to take 4 weeks and travel the US from Canada. We drove to San Fransisco, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Twin Falls, Page, Cle Elum etc in 2010. It has been our dream to do it again but spend more than 13 days in 7 states as we did in 2010. We would love to relive our first trip but stay longer and see more :) Our trip in 2010 was solely staying Best Western Hotels-the only way we stay!

I really want to travel to New York this year. It's the one place in the US that I haven't been to that I really want to see

I used to go to vegas every year meet some friends from school for our own reunion. I had to miss it last year and maybe this year as well... With the way economy is i am grateful for my job working hard for little pay hoping i can get a little get away back to sin city. Happy new year all. :)

I would love to travel to the beach with my family. We used to always do this but since our financial situation changed we have been unable to. I can't wait to walk on the beach with my kids!

I would really like to travel to Canada this year.

We plan on going on a trip to Maui and Switzerland.

Would like to travel this summer back to Chicago. Lots to do and lots of friends to see and spend quality time with.

I would love to go to the beach with my family. We used to always enjoy long walks on the beach talking, laughing, taking silly pictures. One more time!!

I have no regrets for 2011. I actually had three great trips which is more than usual. In 2012 I'd love to get back to my favorite BW in Franconia NH. I have been five times now and can never get enough of it.

I regret not going to the beach last year. I will go to the beach this year! I want to go for a weekend away with my husband. I hope that we make it this year. It's been so long since we have seen the ocean! Destination: Hampton Beach, New Hampshire!!!!

Would love to travel to Cuba this year ( 2012)

I have never been to Hawaii and would love to go there.

Staying at the Waikiki BW in 2 weeks. Looking forward to it.

12 years ago, my mother and I shared a wonderful vacation in Albuferia,Portugal,for 15 fantastic days. It was a celebration after her Chemotherapy treatments were done. Unfortunately, my mother has since passed away, but I would love to return to Portugal and visit the places her and I did. It truly was a real mother/daughter vacation and I would just love to go back and share it with my husband. We created many wonderful memories there and it is those memories I would love to revisit one day.

Would love to travel to the East Coast of Canada and also to the US to visit family

Would like to trave to the East Coast of Canada in 2012 and then to the USA to visit family

Would like to travel to the East Coast of Canada and then to the USA to visit family

My wife wants to go to someplace warm. We have not vacationed in about 15 years. We live where it is cold. I would love to take her to Florida but it costs too much. Would be great to just visit the coast and have some fun in the summertime.

My Son is getting Married on 3/3/12 we are so excited. A group of us are looking into staying at a Best Western in North Dartmouth,MA . WOW if I won the $250, I could surprise a few guests and pay for there rooms.

My regret for 2011 is I didnt get to go to vegas, this year 2012 I will go!!!

I would like to travel back to Italy. We were in Rome in September 2011, and stayed at the Best Western Canada. Beautiful rooms, great service etc. From there we spent a week in Tuscany.

We would like to go Italy in September, specifically Tuscany.

We want to go back to Disney, we haven't been since December of 2004!

This year my travel destination is Bath Ontario for a family wedding and reunion with cousins whom I haven't seen in almost forty years. This trip has been a long time in the making and although I won't be travelling until July each day is filled with anticipation for what I hope will be a heart-warming reunion.

2011 I did not get to go to vegas, 2012 I wiil go no matter what

Regret that we didn't go on a family vacation in 2011. Hope to have the funds and time to do so this year!

We just found my husbands father after 48 years, they finally met last March for the first time. If we had the ability to travel we would make every effort to go visit him once a month, so that they could establish a relationship. My husbands father is 80 yrs old, so time is a valuable thing right now, and getting to know one another for them is a gift of a lifetime.

2011 I did not get to go to vegas, 2012 I wiil go no matter what

We didn't make it to the beach in 2010 or 2011. Would love to be able to go in 2012!

anywhere warm

Hawaii, my friend's lovely photos have enticed me to go visit.

In 2011 my husband Jack & I finally traveled to Praire du Chein in our beautiful state of Wi. We stayed at the Best Western there and have ONLY positive remarks- so very accomidating. Our regret? that we waited so long. After 34 years of owning a cottage in our northern part of the state we decided to venture and see what Wis. all has to offer. Note, we are both with handicap health so to find your facilities so kind and helpful meant so much. Now in 2012- we are traveling to Florida for a couple of weeks and have booked stays with Best Western. We Thank You and Happy New Year

We're planning our honeymoon to Costa Rica this July! We've never been but have heard such great things!

New York City and New Zealand!

I'm going to Israel and the following US national parks Denali, Yellowstone, Olympic, Glacier, and Yosemite.

Have always wanted to go to New Orleans - will work on it!

In 2011, my husband and I wanted to travel to California but never made it there. It's definitely on our list for 2012! Hoping to get to L.A. and San Diego! Calgon, take me away!!

I have no regrets from last year, my husband and I rode our sportsters 6,500km to the Grand Canyon from Victoria, BC, staying at a number of Best Western's over a 2 week period. This summer we will be riding across Canada to the Canadian National HOG Rally in Moncton, NB, returning back to Vancouver Island through the northern United States with many, many stops at Best Western's over 3 1/2 weeks and 13,000km. We love Best Western's Ride Rewards!

We would really like to go to Banff and Lake Louise in Canada. The photos we have seen of the area are really very beautiful.

My daughter and I would love to take a vacation together. We have never been on a "real" vacation and would love to be able to take her to East Tennessee. We have a lot of family there that she has never met.
I would also love to be able to take her to Disney World. I believe every child deserves to go at least once.

My biggest regret would be traveling home from Toronto to Michigan on the 4th of July. We waited in line for 2.5 hours until we were back in Michigan. Never cross a border on a holiday!!

We went to Gettysburg in 1997--have said for years we would like to make a return visit--maybe this year?

Want to go to Bardstown KY area. Hodgenville and surrounding area too. This is my favorite place to go and I have a friend that I would like to take there to show her where my family came from.

Kentucky, always. Love going there any time I can.

We had to give up out trip to Africa in 2011 due to a little thing called breast cancer. Things are looking up and we are planning to reschedule for 2012! Fingers are crossed!!

I am ready to go to New Orleans, was there once long ago and got to spend all of one rainy afternoon. No street artists, no jazz and no beignets... I need to go back and spend days!

I would love to go to New Orleans. I was there once many years ago and was only able to spend one rainy afternoon. So because of the weather... no street artists, no jazz, no beignets.... I need to go back and spend several days, to really experience that wonderful city!

My travel plans for 2012 would involve a trip to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and visiting friends, shopping, going to the beach, and relaxing by the pool. I would love to stay at the Best Western in Biloxi across from the casinos. Never stayed there before, though it looks like a nice place to stay.

I would love to travel anywhere with my children. They want to visit the ocean and collect seashells!

I really regret not being able to travel to the Carribean this year because my husband had an accident last October 2010 and has been disabled. So mine has been the only income. Not quite enough to stretch all the way to Cozumel or surrounding areas.

Planning a cruise to the Caribbean in November 2012. Really looking forward to going on a cruise again - last cruise was 2006.

My plans for 2012 are to take advantage of any travel time I can get with my kids and husband, as life is to short to not enjoy time any time you can get together with your family.

I would love to travel to Hawaii.

My resolution this year is to hit the road and visit my family in Southern California (Sister, Uncles, Aunts and Cousins) because it has been way to long since I saw them! And then I need to hit the road again with my boyfriend to go to Kentucky as that is where his mom lives, and that way I can finally see where he grew up (and maybe I will get to see the Louisville Cardinals play too;). This year is family focused!

We want to travel either to Seaside, Oregon or Deadwood, SD in August of 2012. We are heading to Bucerias, Mexico in April :)

Road trip to Bransen, Mo. Table Rock Lake, Silver Dollar City,water parks,and shows and more!!!!

I am traveling to see a friend in North Carolina this summer. There will be 6 friends from college spending lots of time sight-seeing, on the beach, and laughing! I can't wait!

My regret is that I didn't get to visit my very dearest & best friend in Florida because of having major car trouble. I am really hoping to make the trip within the next few months.

Just really need a get away anywhere, Just to rest the mind.

I always wanted to go to New Orleans and leave them with a few tourist dollars....I'll keep the memories.

my regret because of health reasons we did not get to go up north fishing. that is my wish for 2012.

I am looking forward to our trip to Airlie Beach,QLD for a week for my honeymoon in Oct 2012,I haven't been on holidays for over 10 years !!

We've been saving for over a year to take our 7 year old son someplace that none of us have ever been where there are interesting animals and sandy beaches and sun because friends of his have taken trips like this and he wants to be able to compare stories with them! The travel card would certainly help make things easier!

I'd desperately like to visit Paris this year. I've been saying that for quite a while now but I am thinking this year it might finally happen.

In 2012, i would like to travel to Hollywood, Florida to visit my boyfriend. We have a long distance relationship. We have been seeing each other for over a year and we travel back and forth to see each other until he finds a job and can move to NJ. We see each other every 2 months so I would love to win a travel gift card.

I regret that I have never been to Atlantic City, even though I live on the east coast, and that's where I am going to go this year.

My 2012 resolution is to visit Boston, MA this year! (a trip 8 years in the making!)

My 2012 resolution is to travel more, much more!

we are going back to Pigeon Forge this year,but the regret I have for 2011 is not going back to Disney,so that is my hope for this year,to get back there while the kids are still young and at home!

I'd love to go to Hawaii

I did not get to go to a Nascar race in 2011 & I wish I could go to every race. Since that is not possible I would love to go to just one race this year. Either Homestead-Miami or maybe Phoenix. But more than that I would love to see Best Western on the side of Tommy Baldwin Racing's car driven by David Rerutimann.

In 2012, I wish a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada

my regret is not going toi Disney in 2011 so hoping to get there in 2012 before the kids are older and not at home anymore!

My regret is not getting to disneyland when it wasn't busy!

I want to go to Washington and Oregon.

I live in NC and would like to see the western part of our state.

Nicaragua here I come

I live in NC and would like to see the beautifil western part of our state.

Nicaragua here I come

I'm going to New York city in the fall with some friends and staying at the BW Hospitality House. I love the city and look forward to going back!

I wish we could have gone to New England and taken our daughter in 2011. We spent a week at Roadhouse Inn in Boston in 2009 and then spent a night in each New England state over the week that followed. So sorry that our daughter was unavailable to come with us.

We got married in Hawaii 11 years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. We hope 2012 will be that year.

I would love to go to Spain for our anniversary and do Tapas tastings and visit the Freixenet winery. Spain is one of those places that I imagine is Romantic and a beautiful place to tour.

I would like to travel to Hawaii in 2012 !

My travel regret for 2011 was that I didn't take a vacation because of family issues and medical reasons. My resolution for 2012 is to go on a road trip to some place I have never been like Key West, FL.

I'd like to travel to Pennsylvania in 2012. I didn't get a chance to go there in 2011

I plan to go visit my uncle in New Orleans and my cousin in San Antonio this year. None of us is getting any younger and talking on the phone just isn't enough!

I would love to travel to the northeastern part of the US--NY--MASS-PA--etc

I live in Indianapolis & most of my family is within 200 miles. However, I have an uncle in New Orleans & a cousin in San Antonio, with whom I am close, but do not often get to visit. In 2012, I hope to make a road trip to visit both of them.

I am planning on traveling through the Southern US this year. I am currently in Cali and am going to make my way through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana (and maybe a couple of others). This year is all about the journey for me!

Did a 9500 mile trip to the northwest in 2011 but missed the Pacific Coast Highway, Oregon and Washington. Hoping to go back in 2012.

I regret not being able to make it up to NC to see my sister & nephews due to an extended illness. My eldest nephew is getting married May 2012 in Asheville NC and would love to be able to attend.

To the Beach - any beach to hear the ocean sounds, to walk in the sand and have the waves cover your feet as you walk along looking for treasures. To smell the salty air and feel the peace that being at the beach can bring.

Aloha...I really really really wanna go to Hawaii this year...hopefully in April, if my boss will give me the time off. Every time I think about it I get chills and goosebumps =)

I'd like to go to Florida again and see some new and old places there.

i would love to travel to taos new mexico.

I would love to take my kids on a nice family vacation to anywhere... before they all move out of my house. We go camping every year they love it, but going someplace HOT would be very nice since for the last few years it rained soo much on us while we were camping. My oldest son just joined the Army, so soon they will all be on their own... so a trip such as this would be an AWESOME memory :) ty

My regret is that I didn't get to take my boys to Disney World in 2011. We have been trying but the funds just aren't there. Maybe 2012 will be the year they get to go see Mickey!

i would love to travel to taos new mexico.

I will be travelling to Cuba this year. I have been to cuba many times before and am looking forward to visit this lovely island again. It is a beautiful place full of culture.

Haven't had a vacation in years, so that would be my regret for 2011. Have been thinking about a weekend trip to Vegas in 2012, but still haven't committed to it. It would be a fun and frivolous getaway, even if just for a couple of days.

my travel regret was not going to New Orleans to visit a friend who had lived there for 5 years, now tells me she is moving to Honduras.

I will vacation where ever my kids sports take me!

Since we just found long-lost relatives in Australia it would be nice to go and
visit them and see more of the vast country - this time to the extreme north
and western parts.

Hilton Head has become a favourite destination for me & my wife!

Travel Regret, there is never enough time. Taking my mother to South Dakota for her 90th birthday celebration. Meeting other family there. She misses the Black Hills.

Written and sent Dec.7, 2012

My travel resolutions for 2012:
1. Don't visit the same place twice. I seemed to have developed a habit...I go away, I love the place and it's become a travel 'comfort zone' so to speak, I go back. I've done that about 5 times. This year I resolve to step out of my comfort zone (which I do with east first visit anyway) and experience a different place each vacation.

2. As I take two vacations a year (being a lover of hot, and I do mean hot!) destinations I resolve to take one tropical vacation a year and the other elsewhere without consideration for weather. I spent 10 days in Italy in the fall only because my best friend begged me to. I wouldn't have chosen it myself, now I'm extremely happy I went.

I didnt get to go to California on November 16, 2010, My nephew was killed in a car accident, and we couldn't go to his services. We live in NC and it was Thanksgiving week (busiest travel day of the year) We just couldn't afford it. I'm still beating myself up over it.

We did not get to go anywhere in 2011 because of illness. We would love to win a voucher or card for travel in 2012. My choice would be the southeastern coast. Civil War places like Savanah, Charleston, etc.

Traveling to New Mexico was a disaster! Planning a trip to San Francisco

I would love to go to New York City, I have never been there, or in fact, never on a plane.

I am 80 yrs. old and there are many places I would like to visit - but, instead, my first choice would be to visit my son in Chicago.

No regrets for 2011 just resolution to travel more in 2012! Already been to Mammoth Lakes, have a cruise booked, trip to Pismo, week at beachhouse! I know I can fit in more!!!

I would love to go wherever it will be that my son is when he comes home from deployment. Wherever that is is the place I want to go.

I would love to get to NY this year. Was hoping to last year but it just didn't happen.

My regret is that we didn't take a family vacation before our son left for college in August.

I am 80 yrs. old, and needless to say, there are many places I would like to visit; but ,most of all, I would love to visit my son in Chicago.

Biggest regret not having a family vacation last year .. resomlution this year .. to tag a cpl days on a skating camp to have some family time and make a vacation out of it.

My six year old daughter will be looking for a new mommy if I don't live up to my promise of taking her to Walt Disney World this year!

Would LOVE to go to Montreal with my Wife

We travelled to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island this year. Such beautiful scenery. I wish I had had more time to go on to Newfoundland and Labrador as I imagine they are equally as beautiful. This year 2012, we are going to visit Texas. Except for El Paso and the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, we have not really seen much of Texas. We will have 9 or 10 days so I hope to see a lot. I want to see scenic areas where there are mountains or at least hills and also see some of the Gulf Coast.

I have never been to California...I would like to go there...

I have always wanted to see the House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin. I see the billboards advertising it on our travels through Minnesota and Wisconsin but have never made it there.

For the past 2 years, my travel 'vacations' were spent traveling 700 miles away for me to have surgeries. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago. I don't regret travelling for the surgeries, because they were necessary. Now that all of that is behind me now, my travel resolution this year is to travel somewhere to have a real vacation!

I want to travel a lot this year to the nascar races . Also would like to plan a family vacation with my sone before he starts his first year of college.

Last year I made the decision that I was FINALLY going to travel internationally, no matter what it took. Well unfortunately, another year has passed without it happening. I will not let this year go by without traveling outside of the US! It is my promise to myself!

My wife is back from Afghanistan and we are going to catch up on all the travel and experiences we lost while she was gone away from the family.

I regret not getting my passport so that travel internationally. Need to visit my Grandmother in Canada, and I would love to head to Europe, Australia & New Zealand.

I regret not travelling more!

Every year I say this is the year to visit New York and I never have the funds to go. So this will be the year to visit New York!

I have had Italy on my bucket list for years and I am going there this summer!! Yay! Hope it is worth the wait!!

I want to go to Pasadena and see a Tournament Of Roses parade. It is on my bucket list.

I have heard Berlin is a great city to visit and this spring I will find out for sure!

Charlotte, NC with some of my girlfriends to go visit our good friend that had to move.

My huband, dog and I wanted to travel the entire 1 freeway in Cali. So many sights to stop and see along the way.

To go back to New Bruswick, where i was born and to put flowers on my Mothers grave site. Iam 50 years old and have never seen where she is at and would love to have a talk with her, but please do not feel sad, that is just my wish..

I have never been to Las Vegas or Myrtle Beach and I would like to go to either place this year.

My regret for 2012 is that I have no vacation plans now so I can not fantasize about a trip and staying at a Best Western!

I regret not having taken my mother up to New Jersey and Pennsylvania to visit with her family one last time in 2011. She recently died so it's not something that I can fix but it serves as a reminder that life is often shorter than we think and sometimes there isn't the opportunity to "get around to it" some day.

My biggest travel regret is when we drove to Montana for my Dad's memorial services, It was one of the hardest trips I have had to make. I am thankful that I had Best Western to stay at coming and going.

My resolution for 2012 is to try and move to Montana. I resolve to stay at Best Western for over ten times in this year, so I am able to maintain my "Gold Elite" status.

I will be doing a trip through Virginia and DC, a weekend respite to Alligator Point in the Florida Panhandle, and a mountain trip out West. Hope to make it to Alaska this year or next.

I will be tripping through Virginia and DC, also a weekend respite at Alligator Point in the Florida Panhandle, and a trip West. Hope to make it to Alaska either this year or next.

I will be tripping through Virginia and DC, also a weekend respite at Alligator Point in the Florida Panhandle, and a trip West. Hope to make it to Alaska either this year or next.

Looking at a trip to the DC area, and road tripping a little further South from there.

back to London... several GREAT Best Westerns there

I had the opportunity to fly from Florida to Western Montana and tour Glacier National Park and hike the Bitterroot Mtns. I decided not to go and really regret that I missed the chance to be with friends in such a beautiful place.

I Love!!!! to go to New York to see my son as have not seen him for about a year due to work schedule.

Our 30th anniversary year. We love our 2 grown children and their families. We have spent our vacations with them in various locations or visiting them at their homes in Colorado and Georgia (we're in upstate NY). NO REGRETS, BUT... This year we want to go somewhere ALONE to celebrate!

The biggest travel regret I have for 2011 is that I did not get to spend enough time with my wife before our new baby comes. So for my 2012 travel resolution, I will take her on a weekend trip before our daughter is born. I also want to make sure that I get to spend more quality time with my family.

My 2012 travel resolution is to vacation/travel with my mother this year. I would love to take her on a vacation - just the two of us. She loves the beach and so do I. We need to spend some mother/daughter time just the two of us.

I would love to take my family on a vacation out west. I would like to take them out to see the Grand Canyon, then on up to Yellowstone, We have seen about half of the United States and would like to start working on seeing the other half.

i have never been out of the country. I would love to start this new year off with changing this. I would love to explore islands. I dont care where, i love the sun and i love the sand, so take me anywhere. I won't complain.

I would love to see the Grand Canyon!

Some place in Kentucky. I went there years ago and it was beautiful countryside. Would like to see it again,

We spent two weeks in France in 2011, but I regret spending only 4 days in Paris. What an amazing city, and there is so much to see and do!

I would like visit the Painted Desert and then travel Route 66 from California to Illinois.

Hope to go to Florida for some shunshine and theme park fun.

For 2012, I plan to travel with my sister to the NW United States to see WA, OR, ID, MT and if we can swing it AK. Our plan is to win all our travel expenses and so far have accumulated about half of what we need.

I resolve to visit AT LEAST three states in 2012!

I will be visiting 10 or more National Parks in the Southwest this summer. I've never seen Yosemite or the Grand Canyon.

I did not make it Montreal last year to visit my cousin mostly because of time but cost of travel as well. hopefully i can this year!

My 2012 travel plans would include a trip to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Florida Gulf Coast or Gulf Shores. Anywhere there's a beach would be awesome.

I would love to go to the Gulf Coast of Florida or Alabama and hang out on the beach.

I could not go to Barcelona, Spain due to my health problem in 2011, I am planning to go to Peru in 2012!

I hope to make it to San Diego for the 2012 Comicon...and with luck I will squeeze in a trip to Cuba or Jamaica :o)

I regret that we did not travel the coast from Oregon to wine country in Napa/Sonoma California!

Made it all the way to Rajasthan (two 10-hour flights each way) but somehow couldn't find the time to go to Varanasi, only another 90 minutes away.

I would like to be a little more spontaneous (but I do like to plan a little). I am going to pick out about 4 or 5 warm weather U.S. destinations and make up cards, and my husband and I will pick one and that is where we will go for a long 5-day weekend in February!!

In all of my years of travel abroad, to the Carribbean, and extensively through the US, I have shamefully spent little of my travel dollars on travel within our fabulous country. 2012 will start a journey for my family and we'll get to know our home and native land.

My travel desire would be to see the Big Apple and everything it has to offer!

I regret not having to travel at all in the past three years. My parents invited me to go on a cruise with them in 2011, but I turned them down so I could job hunt. I wasn't hired during that time so I probably could've gone. All the food they showed me from their cruise were very mouth-watering. x_x

I wish I traveled further in 2011. I stayed between Toronto and Montreal, not very much travelling this year. For 2012, I hope to get to the Eastern provinces.

My 2011 travel regret is not going camping around the Kootenays in BC, while my 2012 travel resolution is to travel to Hawaii or Mexico with my husband!

Last year I spent many nights on the computer looking at interesting places & hotels I might like to visit...but never really went anywhere except to visit my son.
Traveling can be challenging for me, so I hope in 2012 I will be brave enough to take a really fun vacation.

My travel desire would be to see the Big Apple and everything it has to offer!

I resolve to spend more time at the Rainbow Highway near Smithers BC. FIshing trips are always put on the back burner when gas prices rise.

My travel resolution for 2012 is that to plan and book our winter vacation ASAP!

Antarctica---who doesn't like penguins???

I haven't seen my grandbabies in 3 yrs and I have yet to see my newest great-grandbaby so I would love to visit Myrtle Beach this year.

WE'D LOVE TO TAKE OUR 13 YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, WHO GETS STRAIGHT "A"s, IS THE ULTIMATE DISNEY/PIXAR'S "CARS" FAN, AND IS THE GREATEST BIG SISTER, TO THE GRAND OPENING OF "CARSLAND" IN DISNEYLAND THIS SUMMER AS A GRADUATION GIFT!!

I really wish that I could travel with my daughter to her soccer tournaments. I have never been able to go yet. I just sent my eldest son off to college so alot of extra funds that come available end up being used for college purposes and trips with my daughter get pushed aside like the trip i planned to go on with her next month (Feb.2012) got cancelled due to my son breaking his hand...please pick me, Thank you!

I love going on vacation and really wanted to go to Seaworld and Busch Gardens in Orlando and Tampa. I did all the research, got my 4 year old daughter all excited and then circumstances made the trip totally unaffordable. Now 2012: I turn 40 in 3 days and am celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in June and we've just had my car die and been told I have to pay double income taxation in 2 countries! My trip away for my 40th was cancelled and I doubt we are going anywhere this year. I feel the need to go on vacation to get away from the stress of daily life and to have some fun! Right now more than ever I could use a vacation!

I regret not being able to attend 1 off-island soccer tournment with my daughter. I just send my eldest son of to college and what little funds that come available end up being used for my son and trips with my daughter get put off just like the trip I planned to attend next month (Feb 2012), due to my son breaking his hand I can no longer afford both expenses.

I will be going to Vegas in June, woo hoo! and Kelowna in July or August.

In 2011 my family didn't get to take a vacation. We had a rough year with my dad passing away and illness in the famly. The place I'd really love to go is to Maui, but right now I'd take just about any vacation place.

My 2012 travel resolution is to do more road trips and explore Canada!

I'd love to go to China!

my travel resolution fo 2012 is to go to disney.

I went to Barcelona for the first time in 2011 but will definitely go again in 2012!!!

Took my son to Europe; should have taken my wife, too. WIll take my wife to Asia this year.

would love to get to Las Vegas this year

2011 was all about east coast....2012 I am hitting the west coast starting with Vegas Baby!!

regret: taking my 8yr old and 3 yr old on a 3000 mi road trip. The trip was so awful, with my 3yr old crying, my husband freaking out and my 8 yr old sick, it overshadowed the entire vacation.

My siblings and I meet somewhere every six months and our plans to meet in St Louis in the Fall of 2011 were cancelled due to health reasons. We really enjoy the time we can spend together in our golden years and we are all looking forward to meeting in St Louis now in the Spring of 2012.

I would like to go to Norway and Sweden.

Hoping to travel twice this year, spring and fall. Love the southand northeast. The best place to travel is in the USA, lots to see and do, great placxes to stay.

I will travel to Alaska for the first time. Last year was many trips from Utah too New Jersey as my father fought through the last year of his life.

Missed out on a great vacation in Miami with friends. The year 2012 will be different, as I will be going to Florida with my sister.

My regret was not being able to spend as much time in Florida in 2011. I plan on meeting my sister in Cocoa Beach FL this Memorial Day weekend and stay at the Best Western Ocean Front Beach Resort. This will be the 20th year my sis & I have spent a "sister weekend" at the Best Western sampling all of the various room types - this year direct ocean front in the Towers.

Hopefully will also get back to our time share in Aruba for our 34th wedding anniversary

Planning to go to Boston and visit friends - really looking forward to it.

Hope to travel to the high desert in California more often this year. Only got to go once last year, I love that place, the colours and light are amazing

No regrets last year as I was on three trips. This year, we're traveling around North America!

Travel to New York.

I was unable to go to Vancouver last year because of finances :( This year, I started a budget since I really want to go visit my family. :)

I am excited to visit our nation's capitol this spring. I wish I had been home to see my family in Oregon more in 2011.

I am planning to play golf - staying at the Best Western would be cool!

My travel regret is that I didn't travel any in 2011, won't make that mistake in 2012, going to take a well deserved vaction!

After many trips from Southern to Northern California to visit family in 2011, I came to regret that I did not stop along the way and stay for more than a night of rest before moving on. A few days ago (2012) we were headed North and stayed in Arroyo Grande CA at a beautiful Best Western. We stayed 2 nights and explored from Pismo Beach to the wineries just a short drive inland. The village of Arroyo Grande is quaint, but sadly even 2 nights was not long enough. I filled several lines of notes on my iPhone with other points of interest within a 40 mile radius. This will be a permanent "via" point on our GPS for 2012 and beyond. I have already told my sisters, who live scattered across the US to start planning our next gathering there. As a reminder...If you are traveling with your pets, be sure to call ahead.. pet friendly rooms are limited.

I'd like to travel to Australia this year

We have not taken a family vacation in years, just never enough money. I told my husband that this year we need to cut back on spending & try to save to take the family out west. Before we know it, the kids will be grown up & gone and this opportunity will have been lost. We have talked about seeing the Grand Canyon, my oldest wants to do the sky walk (not sure I am brave enough for that).

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!! My daughter and I are planning to go to Yellowstone NP and the Grand Tetons NP this summer. The budget is started.....anything added to it would be awesome!!!

try to go to costa rice forrest.

would love to go to Missouri as havent been in years....also just bought resort property there!!! on the lake even!!! or maybe a 2nd vacation in Vegas for a 2nd honeymoon.

I regret that I didn't travel to new locations this year. I spent my vacation days in Florida and Mexico . . . Both locations I have been to frequently and recently.

My travel resolution for 2012 is to travel West (New Mexico and Colorado) to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. While there, my family and I will take the time to explore the majesty of the Rockie Mountains!

My favorite destination is Kawaii, Hawaii. I would love to go there in 2012.

In 2011, I finally made it to New England and I've now been in all 48 of the Continental United States. New England is so nice and I'd like to go back.

I want to travel to Africa in 2012, not sure where yet but if one of your hotels is there it could be a good place to start!

My travel regret for 2011 and my travel resolution for 2012 are closely related: I regret that I didn't travel enough last year and resolve to travel more in 2012, even if just weekend getaways to see new places and absorb new energy!

I miss going to New York last year in many opportunities, I need go this 2012 for business, 2 , 3 nights before summer, my job depends on it.
My favorite destination anyways is Boston this year too.

I hope to take a trip back to my childhood hometown in Idaho. I haven't been there in 20 years and I am very excited to see my childhood friends.

I am dying to go to California!!!! I want to see the Redwoods!

I would like to travel to Africa in 2012, perhaps a good place to start would be where one of your hotels is located.

This year we would like to travel to the Western side of Canada, Vancouver and surrounding areas.

Would absolutely LOVE to go to Albera and visit relatives I have not seen in years!! If I win, I'll eat a bug!

I would love to travel to Arizona and Utah this year!

travel resolution for 2012: To save enough money to travel to where my husband was born and raised (El Salvador)

I traveled to where I wanted to last year....Ecuador....but this year I would like to do a driving trip to the Grand Canyon with my family!

I was in San Francisco just for the day a couple of years ago and I would love to be able to go back and see the sights and absorb a little of the city's culture.

I would love to go to Ketchikan, Alaska to see my son & daughter~in~law. I haven't seen them in almost 2 years. From what I have seen, Alaska is a beautiful place.

i'm going to Turk & caico this year for my anniversary and would like to go to san francisco

I would love to travel New york and Washiston dc with my family:)

Loved going to the Wisconsin Dells last year - hoping to hit the beach this year

Our vacations are weeks and weekends on the baseball field following my son play, I would love for this year to be able to stay the night close to the field on some of the tournaments instead of driving for hours back and forth. This would truly help :) Thanks for the opportunity!!!

My daughter is graduating this coming June at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. My family is saving every penny to travel to St. Andrews for this event. The hotel I dream about is The Scores Best Western! The beautiful and historic old hotel nearest the 1st tee of the Old Course. It will be my husbands first trip to Scotland. I want to make it happen and check this website constantly for deals...$250 would certainly be nice!!

So much fun in Savannah, Ga this past autumn! Planning for Washington DC and the great Smithsonian this year!

I will be coming to see you in January 2012 in Executive Inn 1720 Bush River Road Columbia 29210 thank steve

I would really like to go to the Grand Canyon in 2012.ageivel

Great stay at BW on the river at Savannah, GA last autumn and crab cakes @ City Market! Hoping for Smithsonian weekend in DC very soon! Thanks BW!

Thanks BW riverfront Savannah, GA last autumn and crab cakes at City Market!
Planning for Smithsonian weekend in DC soon!

We joined our local Harley chapter and this group likes to travel. We plan on taking at least 6 trips this year. Fayetteville, Sturgis, the Grand Canyon, Tennessee, Georgia and Louisianna.
My goal is to take as many of the planned rides as possible.

Two big trips planned - one to Europe with our twelve year old, and one to New York to celebrate in-laws 50th anniversary. Should be a great year for travel!

I would like to travel to England to visit my brother and his family.

I would like to visit San Francisco in August with my family.

We will be taking the kids to Disney World in one month (yippee)!

I would love to go to southern California to visit much loved and missed family. I know Best Western is pet friendly so my fur baby could go to!

I had planned on going to Milwaukee, WI to watch my 10 & 12 year old Grandsons play football for the Journey House League but I did not get to go. Had to stay home and work many different shifts and many days in a row.
Really hard on a Gramma not to see the Grandkids for 2 years.
AM going this fall to watch them!!! Can't miss another year.

My travel resolution for 2012 is to travel somewhere south during the cold Chicago winter!

My travel resolution for 2012 is to go somewhere south durring the cold Chicago winter!

I have this dream that I will be able to take my children and grandchildren to Portugal and visit the home of their ancestors. We have our family history and know where they lived as far back as the middle ages. I've heard we could stay in a castle built by one of our ancestors. That would be amazing.

If I could have a choice of where I want to go it would have to be believe it or not Texas.I love Willie Nelson and if I were to go to Texas I just might actually get to meet him.I love singing and I would go to some fun country bars were there was Karaoke and I would sing and someone would tell Willie they heard this girl who sang his songs so well that he has to meet me..I just want to meet Willie so bad.I would then Travel to California to meet Ellen degeneres.She is awesome and so funny.Thank you.From Sandra here in Royalston,Ma

I traveled to Niagara Falls this past summer (2011) to visit family as that is where most of my family resides. After recovering from side effects of a previous cancer treatment and then a workplace injury, I was not doing much for several years never mind traveling. I finally improved enough to travel and off I went with great plans to see all of the family I had not seen in years. As it turned out, I ended up forgetting one of my very important medications and subsequently became ill and had to return home. I was not able to see my own mother who unfortunately ended up in a nursing home shortly after I returned home and I was not able to see her. I also had great plans to see my granddaughter but had to leave before I had a chance to see her as well. It just broke my heart that I did not have the chance to see either of them, so I am hoping that the summer of 2012 it will all work out better.

I would really love to go to Vegas this March to hear Tim Tebow speak about his faith. That would be really awesome to hear. He is really a blessing!

My husband and I are planning a trip to Jamaica this coming December and are so excited as it is our 30th wedding anniversary gift to each other, and we have never been on such an extravagant trip before.

In 2012, I would like to travel to South Africa. Last year, I wanted to travel to Denver, CO but wasn*t able to because of time constraint.

:) I love Best Western and the room deals! I am heading to Victoria and staying in a King size suite to go shopping for vintage clothes in February. In March it is the anniversary of our engagement. In April there is Easter. In May it is Victoria Day long weekend. In June maybe we will have to just make up a reason, but we already know where to stay!

My big travel regret in 2011 was booking our dream vacation (a cruise) in August, just because it was so much cheaper. The day we left for The Bahamas on the cruise ship, we were in the eye of Hurricane Irene. It was a horribly rough sail and I spent the whole first night vommitting. The rest of the trip was then spent on the ship because The Bahamas had been so badly battered and all of the excursions were cancelled. For 2012, I think that I'll stay within driving distance for vacation, because you get what you pay for.

Economy hit soooo hard we couldn't even afford to travel in our own state. There is so much to see and we wouldn't have to travel far. Sometimes the weekend get aways are just as nice as the week vacations, they break up the "what do we do and where do we go". This would be such a nice treat after all the struggling we've been through.

Due to an illness in 2011, my usual trips to Lake City,Florida were cut short. We make numerous trips to the area every year, staying at the Best Western, of course. I'm having some surgery in a few weeks so, in 2012, I plan on resuming my frequent stays in that area and staying at The Best Western of Lake City. The owner, front desk staff and Housekeeping Staff there are all great helpful and lovely people. Can't wait for my next "healthy" visit in the spring!

I would love to spend some time with my Mom and take her to the Grand Canyon. It is something she has always wanted to see and I would LOVE to be there with her! That would be an amazing memory to treasure :)

My travel resolution for 2012 is to take a two week-long road trip from the northern part of the USA to the southern part. I'd like to visit as many friends and family as I can along the way!

My travel regret...we went on a family trip out east, Niagara Falls, New York, Boston and Sandusky Ohio. This was our big family trip. Coming back home to Wisconsin, MY part of the trip was to stop in Frankenmuth Michigan and go to Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. Now, I had been on a 2 1/2 week trip with four kids in a vehicle, I wanted my christmas store, but, it was not to be. We pulled into Frankenmuth, saw all of the cute little shops in the downtown area and then we were on our way to Bronner's. I was so excited. I walked into Bronner's and there was a torrential downpour starting outside. It was bad. We couldn't see the parking lot. The power went out. Here we are with a few hundred other people in a blacked out store and our four kids, (who thought it was the coolest thing in the world). I got to see nothing of the christmas store, not one ornament or display. For the first time in Bronner history, they closed the store due to no power. I was completely disappointed. I would love to go back and visit since my first experience didn't pan out for me at all.

Although I have a timesahre vacation spot, it is far enough away from home that I always stay over at a BW during our trip. BW is therefore our first vacation night! We enjoy our treks to Palm Springs each year and look forward to our 2012 trip.

Boston, MA! Have always wanted to stroll through Boston Common, have a beer at Cheers and walk the Freedom Trail. someday ...

My biggest travel regret of 2011 is that I didn't get to go anywhere. I got married in February of 2011 and for my "honeymoon" stayed 30 minutes away from where I live! And honestly that was the furthest I ever got away from home. This year I would love to actually take a vacation or two and be able to get away for some very much need R&R with my Husband!

In 2009 we travelled to La Quinta, CA and in 2010 we travelled to Scottsdale, AZ. We drove both times. Before we had set out to travel, we made reservations with BW for the nights that we had to rest. BW by far has the best accomodations, as we have two westie's dogs. We were unable to travel in 2011. So this year 2012 we will be travelling to Florida. We are looking forward to making reservations with BW for our rest nights. Thank you, Best Western for a restfull stay.

I would love to be able to travel up and down the eastern coast of the United States. I would also like to attend our national church convention in New Orleans this August.

I am traveling to Chicago to run my first full marathon this year in October and will be staying at BW Grant Park. This BW is by far the closest to the start and finish line. I even got a great deal by booking early!

I have always, always wanted to go to Spring Training for the Cactus League in Pheonix AZ, and once again will not be able to go because I have committed to some community volunteer work. I do enjoy the work and just can't seem to say "No!" eg
But next year for sure!

In 2011 my husband and I went out to Prague to visit our son. Time, unfortunately, did not permit us to travel to Hungary, where my husband's family is from. 2012 is the year we will!!

My main regret is that I had to wait until I retired to be able to find the time to travel as much as I do now. Then I was too conservative with my funds (worried it wouldnt last!) So now I am 70 I am spending quicker and travelling more but I regret waiting so long. So if you can do it do it now is my advice.

I regret not taking advantage of long weekends and going on quick getaways.

I would like to travel to Ohio this year to visit a close friend who lost his mother last summer.

I would love to go back to Chicago or New York. I would take my teenage daughter with me this time.

I want to visit my cousin in San Francisco this year.

Just watched a great cooking show on Chicago style Pizza. I want to go to Chicago to eat my heart out at the best pizza joint. Can't wait. No regrets for 2011 but hoping for more adventure in 2012.

Disneyland, definitely Disneyland. My son and I went to Disneyland in 2011 - and it was the "happiest place on earth". He cried when we left! I would love to surpise him with a return trip this year. FHI - we stayed at the Best Western Stovall's Inn - it was perfect! Thank you Best Western!

Regret- I didn't travel enough! Moving forward- want to take an international vacation- been a long time! Hope there's Best Westerns globally :)

I really want to visit all my friends and family back home in New York and Philadelphia!!!

I wish I could have stayed longer in Michigan by the casino a day or two longer.
My husband and I could of had 2 days of peace and quiet for our 20 year anniversary.

My travel plans this year are to go on a cruise with my husband. Unsure of it being somewhere warm or Alaskan!

My 2011 travel time was AMAZING, I got to go to California for the first time in my life! This year might just top it though... my travel goal that I am saving for is my big sisters wedding in Panama City Beach, FL!! Winning this would help me and my family get there to celebrate!!

My only regret in 2011 was the fact that I did not check the rates a certain moters befor going into certain areas of the country and were very un happy with the rates that were being charged because of special events.

i would like to take a month or so to visit my children and grandchildren who are scattered across the US - we visited one child last year and i regret not taking the time to visit all of them!

This year, we're finally going to explore Costa Rica and Nicaragua!

My resolution is to travel to Alaska this year.

I had a flu bug in December and couldn't spend much time on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. I WILL spend a couple of nights in the Fremont District on the trip I'm planning for this spring.

Vistiing the UNIQUE cities from Little Rock, Ark to Dogpatch, U.S.A (betrween Jasper & Harrison) and from Bentonville, Ark (Museum of American Art) to Memphis, Tenn! Ya Hoo Hillbillies in Dogpatch!!

I regret that I had to turn down a chance to attend The Masters Golf Tournament 2012. It was an opportunity of a lifetime and a birthday gift for my husband, but the expense of the travel made it out of reach. We were also looking forward to visiting the Blues Clubs. My son is now playing club baseball at Cal State Fullerton.. The team has a national championship in Georgia this spring so maybe it was meant to be, for us to go there for that, instead of The Masters. My husband's oldest sister also lives in Georgia and we are from California. He rarely gets to see her. California Dreamin' for the opportunity to surprise him with the trip. If not to Georgia to New Orleans for a tour the historic Blues clubs.

I would love to vist London in 2012. This is the year of the summer Olympics in England and a local group from Victoria that creates peace murals will be featured in London during the Games.

My travel regret.... I used the Best Western Inn at the Vines in Napa, CA. I wished I had never used them. My house had caught fire so I decided to have a small Christmas party at the hotel with food, drinks, and decorations. I told any guests to be quiet when they arrived at the hotel so we wouldnt disturb any guests. I rented their two story suite which is located at the end of one building and away from other rooms and near a Dennys entrance.
We had a nice quiet party going until about 9'oclock when we had a call from the "manager". She said this hotel does not allow parties. I was surprised. No family reunions, no graduation parties, no get togethers of any kind. I said I have stayed at BW and had never seen it written anywhere. She said I am telling you verbally. What an embarassing and distasterous party!
By 10'oclock my guests had left. Several out of town guests reserved rooms for the occasion. I rented two rooms, the suite and another room for an out of town couple.That couple was so disappointed with the hotel they decided not to stay and traveled back home that night. The other couple stayed but dont think they asked for a refund.
I was very disappointed. Most hotels have a rule that says guests must leave by 10. I checked my paperwork, the internet, the back of the door. Nothing about having guests. I wanted to leave the hotel that night since it was so disturbing to stay in that harsh environment. My friend said rest and stay overnight. Collect the Christmas goodies and decorations then go to the office and ask for a refund for the two rooms.
I did just that. In the morning I checked out about 11 and requested a refund. The lady said she would deny a refund but the manager Bridgett could authorize one when she came back six days later from vacation. It was about $270.00 for the two rooms. I told the receptionist that the hotel needs to advertize their rules. There is nothing in writing about NO PARTIES ALLOWED. I would never have used the hotel if I had known they were so hostile. The only reason the hotel noticed anything was the hotel security guy on a Thursday night saw several people going into one room.Not many hotel rooms were occupied so we stood out I guess. I am very disappountedin the treatment we recieved from Best Western.

I want to go to Vegas and CA

I would love to go to London in June 2012. A local Victoria peace murals group will be exhibiting its murals in London during the Summer Olympics this summer.

We love to travel on our Honda Goldwing! Due to my health this past summer, my husband and I did not get much traveling. We are praying that after my surgery in a couple of weeks we will be able to ride this summer!!

I would really love the opportunity to get to Paris this year. My husband and I are planning to renew our vows there in 2013 for our 25th anniversary. We have a number of friends and family planning on coming over to join us. I would love to have the opportunity to go there to do the planning in person.

Last time we were in Paris we stayed at a Best Western. It was perfect. Clean, Well located, nice staff and a window with a french balcony that opened up on to la ville lumiere! Fantastique!

Looking forward to going back, winning the contest would make it even better! :)

My regret was not taking advantage of some of the great airfares last year to take a trip out to Washington State. Instead I had to make do with my friends photos. Hoping again for a 2012 arrival!

I would have liked to have taken the family down the oregon and california coasts this past summer staying at Best Westerns along the way.

Since I love traveling, my major regret is not being able to travel more period. But, specifically, I regret never getting to the United Kingdom. I have Rick Steves' travelogues and have read numerous books and watched many films about England, Scotland, Wales and Scotland. I have always wanted to visit there ever since I was a child and I am in my 60s now. Money for travel has always been the issue and now, since we are retired, it is even more of an issue. I regret that I may never visit these beautiful islands during my lifetime.

I want to have a holiday this year and would love to travel across Canada by rail

I regret not visiting my daughter as much I should have in 2011 & resolve to do so in 2012. Thanks!

I want to take my dear 93 year old aunt to see her child in Flordia who she has not seen in years.

2011 Brought me two awesome trips.
1. Australia & New Zealand
2. Victoria, British Columbia
2012 Looking forward to seeing Alaska

We don't go far. However, my mom is flying to the East coast, from the West coast this summer for her first ever visit. I would like to be able to take her to the Bay of Fundy and/or Halifax. It would be nice to be able to stay over night since she will probably never get to come here again. We are small farmers on a limited income so this would be a wonderful gift. thank you.

I regret not seeing the Grand Canyon when we were in Arizona.

I want to see the Grand Canyon in Arizona as I regret not seeing it last time we were close!

I want to visit cousins on the east coast.

My husband is so loving and supportive and I want to take him to Alaska for his 30th birthday (late- it was in 2011) to show him how much he means to me.

I will be going from Rhode Island to California and back. I think I will take the northern route across and southern back. It will be just me and my camera.

We went to old Seattle and stayed in Pioneer Square in the beautiful Best Western Hotel. We would love to go to Hawaii in 2012.

I will be staying next month in the Bestwestern in Humble Texas. It's a nice place to stay. Love it!! ♥

We went to Pioneer Square in Seattle and stayed at the beautiful Best Western in 2011. In 2012 we would like to go to Hawaii or Mexico

My travel regret for 2011 , is that twice we planned trips to Calgary , Alberta and both times had to cancel because of illness . Hopefully we will be healthier in 2012 and will be able to make that trip .

I will love to travel to Puerto Rico .

Going to Minneapolis to watch Wild vs Jets next month and would like to travel to chicago for a Blackhawks game in the next season.

We stayed in the beautuiful Best Western hotel in Pioneer Square in 2011. We would like to go to Mexico or Hawaii in 2012

I want to visit friends in San Francisco.

My only regret is not staying longer at the Best Western in Port St. Lucie, FL..especially since the weather is now below freezong every night up here on LOng Island.

I like to visit my father in the Netherlands

I will be traveling to San Antonio Texas and Beaumont Texas this 2012!

Kawaii, please.

Family trip to Hawaii this year!!! Can't wait to spend time with all 22 members of my family in the surf and sun!! This will be our second time going and it is a garunteed good time.

I am travelling the Western Carribean on a Princess Ship!!

Can't wait to go to Hawaii this sring with the whole family. Yes, all 22 of us are going! Time for some fun in the sun and surf! This will be our second trip and it is a garunteed good time!

Our resolution this year is to use up all of our points and credits, travel as lightly as possible, be spontaneous and adventuresome, go somewhere we've not yet seen. And we will appreciate our hospitable friends everywhere.

cuba again

My regret is when I went to Chicago, I never took the time to go to The Field Museum in Chicago, but when I go next time I will for sure go, thanks

Hoping for a family getaway to Vernon, BC to visit my brother and his family. Beautiful there! I'd love for my kids to see it!

For the first time in my life I traveled to Europe to visit my daughter in Belgium, where she is teaching. We also traveled to Italy while I was there. All 3 of my daughters are world travelers and I vow to travel more.

Regret Not Seeing the Union Pacific Railroad's Bailey Yard in North Platte, Nebraska in 2011! The WORLD's Largest Freight Classification & Assembly Point.

Just wish there was more time and money to travel more. The kids love staying in hotels with pools. Its something so little that makes them so happy. Would like to do more family trips this year :)

To whom it may concern: If I were the marketing manager for Best Western I would set up a card for seniors that want to stay at Best Western on there travels through out the United States that would give them the same price for a room at every Best Western to elliminate the need to shop at several hotels to get the best rate. If I were able to spend a night with my wife and myself on our travels at $70.00 per night I would just find the closest Best Western in the area I ended up each night. No shopping around. Best Western Senior Frequent Flyer Plan.
Just a thought. David D. Dunham

Would love to see the Grand Canyon.

I would like to go to Hawaii this year -- one more time before we expand our family.

My 2012 New Year's Resolution...to only stay at Best Western Hotels!!

We travel alot to the states and always stay at the best western as my grandaughter loves the morning breakfast and swimming in the pool. We always have a good time at the Best Western Hotels and never have a problem. We will be going to Lake Chelan in July and we have stayed there before and love the hotel right on the beach and the bbqs that the guests have access too, which make it fun to cook your own meals outside and still enjoy what the hotel has to offer. We would love to go to the caribbean some day but dont know when we will ever make it there.

I had stayed at the best western for a mini shopping trip for usa thanksgiving., the hotel price was so resonable that my biggest regret was not staying a few more nights as it is so relaxing to sit by the pool and not think about anything but shopping and fun stuf...soo..we have another booked trip to the same hotel and were going to just stay 2 nights,but i have already decided we are making it 3 minimum,,,maybe 4!!! this gift card would definetly help me decide on length of stay!!:)

I stayed at a best western in superior for the usa thanksgiving.biggest regret was not extending the stay..needless to say, we have planned for another mini vacation and were originally going to only stay 2 nights, but i have decided it is 3, maybe 4!! winnin this gift card would sure help me with that decision..oh i think i would upgrade my room too!!

I'd like to see the great pyramids of Egypt!!!

My family will be travelling to Niagara Falls, NY for our daughter's first dance competition. Will be checking out Best Western's hotels!

Id like to go to Chicago and watch the Blackhawks play.

Each year I try to have my kids visit at least one new location. Having an appreciation for the world and all it has to offer is very important for me to establish within my kids. One year they experienced their first flights to locations such as San Francisco and Scottsdale, AZ. Another year we drove to a friend's in upper state NY and also enjoyed Boston during summer break as well as NYC during the holidays. This coming year we are looking to travel to Washington, DC for the cherry blossoms as well as Quebec for Winterfest and whereever else our hearts (and pocketbooks) will take us!!!

I would love to go out east to visit friends who have moved to Halifax. It would be a first for my kids AND for me!

After a major surgery I was off work for six months. Impulsively my wife and I left Fort McMurray, Alberta and drove to Edmonton, AB, Calgary, AB, Banff, AB, Creston, BC, then down into Idaho, the over to Washington, back to Idaho and finally Montana back to Alberta. Absolutely wonderful trip, our only regret is that we did not take the ferry from Seattle over to Vancouver. British Columbia is very beautiful, we really should have experienced the coast. We are both from Nova Scotia so the sea is always an enjoyable destination.

Best regards,

Had the opportunity to visit North Korea but didn't in 2011. Now with the death of Kim Jong Il I might never get to visit.

Hmmm - so many places to go and stay at Best Western. I think Hawaii would be great for 2012!

my regret was not being able ot use the free room voucher at any property in CO, nad having to send it in exchange for half its value in points.-then it taking me over a month to find a BW property that would accept those points.my other regret is the illegible captcha on this contest.

My travel regret is not getting out to Los Angeles to visit my brother. My brother lives in Los Angeles and I live in Virginia. I have not been to visit him in over 5 years. I have not even seen his house! My fiance has never been to Los Angeles and would really like to visit California. We hope to be able to make a trip next year.

in 2010 I was married. We always put off our honeymoon. We settled on 2011 being the year that we went. But due to work and other things that come up when you have a new and arising family we once again put it on the back burner...I Told my husband that it didn't matter where we went ...as long as we are together. That will always hold true. But I would love to make it possible to get away and show him a good time. So my regret is that we never got to do it. But this year my resolution is that We would like to. I just think something nice out near the coast ...With a gift card like this we could drive to the coast.. get nice hotel room and spend the day on the beach... or get a nice hotel room near Niagra Falls.....We would love to be the winners of this contest so that we can finally have a honeymoon!!! PLEASE PICK US!!!

I regret that we didn't have a makeup vacation as our first vacation was cut short due to fog keeping the cruise ships from Galveston TX. Three days in foggy Galveston was nice but still a little disappointing for my family.

I regret not having a makeup vacation as our cruise was cut short due to fog in Galveston TX. Galveston is nice but still a little disappointing.

In November on a trip to Sedona Arizona, while taking the senic route south from Flagstaff, I did not film or photgraph the drive down as I thought I would take photos as I retraced my route on the return. However, snow forced me to take a more southern route back to Louisiana so I missed some fabulous photo opts.

My travel regret from 2011 was relying on the Best Western book to plan by cross country trip! Fully 2 of the 4 nights I had planned, using that book, turned out to be a nightmare! Surprise ! No longer were they Best Western hotels! AND - how could it have been worse? - I went from one town, up to the next, 80 miles away, at night, only to find, yes....THAT one was no longer a Best Western either! Now a Red Lion, or something! Spent a HORRIBLE SLEEPLESS night in Grants, NM between Route 66 and a railroad track at a with HOURLY ALL NIGHT TRAINS! Joined best Western b/c AAA recommended and it was the best price. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. BOOOO

Travel regret-Having a layover in NYC and not being able to stay overnight and experience the city.

I woulld love to visit Costa Rica in 2012.

I normally travel home to Pittsburgh at least three times a year, regretfully because of work, I did not get home once last year. In 2012, I have promised to take my kids home to see their Grandparents and Uncles for a month visit to make up for lost times!

I will be traveling to NYC, Chico CA, NM, CO, GA, and Washington State in 2012. My hope is to go back to AK this year as well.

I want to go to Ottawa since last year

I love the American Southwest. I visited New Mexico in 2011, but want to return to the "four corners" area in 2012, and explore Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado.

There are so many places I would love to travel to, but one regret is that I have never been to California. I would so much love to see San Francisco or San Diego or Hollywood. I would so much appreciate having this opportunity.

I would love to go to Iceland. Regret - not getting back to Holland in 2011.

My biggest travel regret for 2011 is not taking our oldest son on an old fashioned "road trip" before he left for university, stopping at Best Westerns along the way and experiencing up close and personal the many hidden gems along the road. Many of my most treasured memories were made on such trips, so 2012 will be the year of the Road Trip for me! (I have 3 more boys to go!)

My regret of travelling in 2011 would definitely be taking a 1982 hippie van that we bought the day of our trip on a 2 week trip to the East Coast!! It broke down 3 times, but we did meet some interesting people on the way! And we had to take a plane home! haha

I am planning to do a 45 day road trip through the US this spring and will be using Best Western as much as possible, I have tried other chains and have had problems but BW always provides a clean, comfortable room.

My resolution for 2012 would be to save my money and go travelling. To stay at Best Western hotels because they're beautiful and well priced!

I would go see my family in NJ couldnt afford to last year so this would be a great surprise!

We are going to LasVegas and the Grand Canyon this year!

My husband and I would really love to take our two young kids to sesame place. This would be a trip that would be great for them at there ages and we know they would have a blast.

I want to take the grandchildren to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

We will be cruising this coming fall and want to take days before/after the cruise to see southern Florida.

As soon as snows go, I plan to take frequent two and three days trips, to explore the Northwest, plus one trip to visit Glacier Park again.

I want to take the grandchildren to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City.

I want to visit Las Vegas.

First a comment to Kimberly..We are glad Georgia is on your mind! Please be sure to visit Callaway Gardens, especially in April.
My Dad passed away in 2011 so our travel plans were cancelled,however, if all goes well this year we plan to do a A Grand European River Cruise and do a pre stay in a BW in Amsterdam and a post stay in Hungary before flying back to GA.

My travel regret for 2011 was that we didn't do it nearly enough. It wasn't until mid-December that I finally got up to Seattle to see the kids, only to discover that the trip was shorter, cheaper, and far less hassle than I had expected! I think of all the family events I missed in 2011...it's a mistake I certainly won't be making in 2012!

No regrets in 2011! I am committed to making Alaska happen in 2012!!!

I have lived most of my life in the Vancouver area but have usually traveled elsewhere for vacation. This year I will be a tourist in my own province and canoe and hike Haida Gwaii, learn about the gold rush in Barkerville, pick fruits in the Okanagan, check out fossils and the amazing scenery of the Rockies and learn to surf in Tofino or Ucluelet.

I hope to go to China in 2012. It really seems to be the in place to go.

The travel regret I have is that I didn't get to Vegas - sure hope to arrange a girls trip soon!

Would love to return to Rome and stay at the wonderful Hotel Canada. The hotel was extremely nice and the staff was amazing. Close to the train station and easy pick up and return for tours.

Tuscany is still on our wish list as well...........we'll see what transpires!

I would love for our family to visit New York City this year.

Would love to return to the wonderful Hotel Canada in Rome. It was a fantastic place to stay, close to the train station and easy pick up and drop off for tours.
Staff was super!

Tuscany is on our wish list, maybe this year?

My family and I love to go on car trips, which we did last for the last two summers. Texas to Florida is a fun trip if you go with a "let's have fun" attitude. My only regret is not visiting my friends in the Houston area, which is only a 4 hour drive for me. I'll try to do it this year.

My travel resolution for 2012 is to take a vaction this year

I resolve to travel back to Japan this year! I made some great friends while teaching there and its been years since I've seen them.

I would love to travel to Sioux Lookout, Ontario to visit with my son.

I regret not using my point to go to vegas for new years and mexico to see family.:(
I did redeem my point fo some nice gift cards for the hoilidays! Best Western is awesome! When I build up more points I will definitely take better advantage of them next time!

I regret not using my points to go to vegas or to see family in mexico! :( I did redeem them for some nice reward cards! Best western is awesome!

I planned to go to San Francisco during September last year. I really really wanted to go to the Chocolate Festival there. I love chocolate. In the end, I couldn't go because there were no room available. I regret about it a lot. I wish I knew about the festival early, so I could book a place to stay. I hope I can go this year.

I would love to take my family of 6 to cali to disneyland. Ive never went and havent been able to go. This year would be a great year to go. That would help out.

We love to travel at any time of the year. We went in cruise last fall in Europe and it was so wundrerfull. We plan to go at Ste-Lucia this winter and we will relax. We are thinking to spend time in USA next summer and we look for a trip for a week next winter. We love to visit a different place every time.

I would love to take my family to california. didn't get a chance last year this year will be the year for sure.

I would definatly see more of Italy.

Would love to take my parents to their ancestral home in Ireland. Would love for them to see their families one last time while they are still able. They have many grand and great-grandchildren they have never met and have not been able to travel for various reasons for many years, and have not been home since 1977. Their (and my) lives would be complete knowing they could bid farewell in person to their families, and I owe them more than I could ever repay.

My travel regret for 2011 was inadvertently setting my meal preference to "seafood meal" prior to traveling from Houston to Jakarta. From Houston to Moscow and Moscow to Singapore and Singapore to Jakarta, at EVERY meal, the flight attendant would come by and say in an Oriental accent "Ah, Mr. B, here is your seafood meal!" I tried numerous times to explain that there had been a mistake but they would just smile and place the meal on my tray. Every meal was fish! On my final leg I finally convinced the attendant to bring me a steak! She then informed me that if I had gone to the airline website and selected "seafood meal" I could have selected lobster, shrimp, clams, or whatever I wanted. Thanks for telling me! This year I will make sure I don't select "seafood meal" on my flight to Malaysia in March!

There are so many places I would love to see but I would like to see Hawaii. My husband was sent TDY there right after we were married almost 33 years ago. I teased him about going there for his honeymoon and he told me that one day we would go. I think I am ready for it now. :)

This year, I am hoping to go back to Waterton National Park and this time actually hike the Bear's Hump Pass! On our last trip there, it was still remarkably icy an we didn't have the appropriate clothing or gear to hike anything steep.

I would love to have taken my wife to the bahamas. The arrangements were not worked out, but it would be nice to take her to treat her to a nice outing later this year.

Exploring Alaska is on the top of my bucket list. Hope to get there!!

I'd love to explore small cities this summer.

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on Sept 8th, 2011. We were on our honeymoon when 9/11 happened. So naturally we cut it short, to be with our families. We had always planned a spectacular 10 year anniversary. But my husband had lost his job earlier in the year. With not enough time to recover, before our anniversary. We decided we'd celebrate this year, 2012. He started a new job in March 2011, so he gets vacation in two months. We are planning a road trip! Doesn't matter where or how far we get, we are headed west. What a fantastic contest and I hope that we win! This would be such a reward for waiting 10 years for the perfect honeymoon!

By Chuck:
I will be traveling to Southwest this winter and looking for Best Western properties along the way.

My travel back to inspect flood damage to our farm in North Dakota last September
required to and from bookings in various cities between Seattle and Minot ND.
I regret that I did not book Best Western in Missoula on the way to Minot. The lodging
I booked turned out to be sub standard. I cancelled the return booking for that property and re booked with Best Western in Missoula. I should have stuck with
B/W round trip for that city.

Would like to take a road trip out west. Haven't had a vacation since the economy when bust :(

I hope my husband and I can travel more this year than we did in 2011. I also want to go to places that we haven't been before.

After 50 years of marriage and work, we hope to travel a lot this year. First in Feburary to Florida to see our son and family, then in June for my 50th class reunion which shall be great, how many of the 600 will show? Then we will go to Vegas for a fun time.

I will be traveling out of state this year to visit family and friends.

This year I'm going to Vegas with my husband!

Hi, well I would have to guess the best place I have visited was Mexico City the people were very friendly and accommodating. And getting to visit the mayan and aztec ruins was fun as well. I would love to visit Rome, to learn about their personal interactions. ;) and check out the sites because I've heard they look cool.

My biggest travel regret is rushing! I got the opportunity to visit both Nepal and Thailand, but only stayed for a few days each. I was so exhausted by the end of each night because I was rushing to see all the major attractions. This year, I want to take my time and see all the beautiful places I can slowly. You miss out on so much of the beauty around you when you rush.

I want to step outside my comfort zone in 2012 - maybe deep sea diving with sharks?!

We would love to go to the Best Western in Quebec City and then head east to the Best Western in Charlottetown, PEI next summer! I have never been to PEI and have always wanted to go. I think the kids would love it too!

Lookin' for a sunny corner of the Carribean for some R&R in February!

Our family would like to travel to a new spot to vacation. It doesnt matter where we go just as long as we are together. We do have Barbados, Jamaica, and Bahamas on the list to visit. Hope we can win this card to help pay for a room over there.

I would love to take the family back to Lake Dillon, Colorado. The Best Western there is across from the dog friendly park with water front for them to play in. The dogs are a part of our family and travel with us on vacations. This year will be adding another dog for a total of 3 and my first GRANDCHILD. The SUV is getting full but what fun it is there for all of us.

My 2011 regret was not being able to drive south down the coast from Carmel, California, as the road was washed out while we stayed in Carmel overnight. I would love to go back and do that route.

I want to travel to Switzerland! I've already picked out the tour I would go on, but I have to save more to cover the expensive airfare.

So looking back at 2011 I think that a road trip was missing. Nothing to far maybe a fishing trip up north with a delightful drive. so for my summer in 2012 I would like to do a road trip stopping in the remote towns and ending up fishing on a beautiful lake sleeping only at best westerns along the way.

I need to visit my family and friends more often. I regret not going on a road trip last year, since doing so always gives me a little boost.

New Orleans would be awesome to visit and it would be great for the area!

My biggest travel regret of 2011 was allowing my sister to come with my wife, daughter and myself out west to Alberta for a week.

in 2012 i plan to not invite my sister along :)

My biggest regret is that we didn't spend more time in our December trip to Italy to explore Venice...but of course, that was because we spent time in Tuscany touring wineries and hill towns!!

We traveled to Payson and Pinetop Arizona in 2011. We regret not extending our road trips into New Mexico from Pinetop or Colorado to visit our friends. We are looking forward to new adventures in 2012.

My 2011 regret is not visiting my cousins in Canada this holiday season

My biggest regret - not staying in Italy at the end of our wonderful trip with our friends!

in 2012 I want to go back to LA except (unlike 2011) go with my girlfriends!

Travel regret was missing the superbowl in Dallas in 2011, and my 2012 resolution is to get to the superbowl in New York in 2012!

Travel regret was missing the superbowl in Dallas in 2011, and my 2012 resolution is to get to the superbowl in New York in 2012!

In 2012, I have a real anniversary - February 29th - 36 wonderful years! I would love to go back to St Augustine, our honeymoon spot.

My regret is not going to Costa Rico as planned. My 2012 resolution is to get there this year!!!

Want to travel to Las Vegas for the first time! My resolution for 2012 is to get there by the end of the year.

anywhere I am not picky

I was planning to go see my friend in Harlingen, TX and go swimming in the Gulf and then go to San Antonio to visit The Alamo since I hav en't seen it since I was 2 1/2 or 3 and my friend has never been there. She is going to be moving to be near her sister in Florida in a few months, so I'm going to have to act fast.

I would like to travel to Mexico.

I would like to visit my brother in North Carolina to show off his new nephew that should be arriving any day now.

I regret not having the time or money for a family vacation last hear. i hope to have one this year.

My one and only travel regret from 2011 was that I did not have the time or the opportunity to get away other than a short weekend trip to the Canadian Rockies... I normally go somewhere every year and it was depressing that I couldn't in 2011. In 2012, I have resolved and will endeavour to make a trip to California for some diving and then a quick trip to Washington DC. Thanks!

I only traveled once in 2011. In 2012 I plan to travel twice. Once to Kelowna and once to someplace tropical!

I would like to surprise my wife with a vacation away somewhere warmer to thank her for giving me our first child. She has always wanted to see New York or San Francisco.

I want to travel to Disney world and Disney land this year :-)

I would really like to visit my sister in Chandler, AZ. I wanted to go at Christmas time, but flights were really expensive, I haven't seen her for several months. I talk to her weekly, but it is not the same as getting to see her & give her a hug.

I've always wanted to go to China and see the Great Wall. Maybe 2012 will be the year. Hmmmm...I wonder if there is a Best Western there?

I resolve to zipline in Costa Rica in 2012!

2011 regret was having to cancel our travel plans when we decided to move. first trip in 2012 is Burma, coming up quickly

I have always wanted to travel to Europe and this year is my 25th Wedding Anniversary so we have made it a commitment to travel to Italy with our young adult children to renew our wedding vows in a country known for it's history, beauty, and love.

My travel regret for 2011 was that I went nowhere. My travel resolution for 2012 is to go somewhere ;)

We will be travelling from BC Canada to Moab, Utah by motorcycle /camper and a few nights in a Best Western would be wonderfu.

I get to go to Vegas for the first time in my life in June!!!!! So freakin excited!!!!

I will be traveling to the Philippine Islands to retrace the footsteps of our brave countrymen as they struggled with their Philippine comrades to win back the islands from the empire of Japan.

i would like to travel to Phoenix, AZ because after me and my fiance get married we have to find jobs for what we went to school for and I love the warm weather there.

My wife and I decided not to cruise this year [2012] but to go back to Florida and visit great American friends we met there 2 years ago. These friends live in Rhode Island and we live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.Well the very next day we decided not to cruise we got an internet offer " we couldn't refuse" -- a 15 night Royal Caribbean trans-atlantic cruise ending up in Rome. So to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary we will be heading south in March, visiting our friends in Cape Coral, Florida then cruising to Italy in April out of Fort Lauderdale. {of course we will be staying in Best Western Hotels 3 nights down and 3 nights back as we have since we started snow- birding }

My travel regret for 2011 was that we didn't take our two adult children with us on our trip up through Maine, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton this summer. Such breathtaking scenery, such wonderful food, such friendly and kind people! If we won the lottery, our dream would be to hire a limo and travel all over the lower 48 (staying in Best Westerns along the way, of course!) - hitting every single state along the way!

My biggest regret is that we were not able to take our two grown children with us this summer when we toured coastal Maine, USA and New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Cape Breton in eastern Canada. Such breathtaking scenery, such delectable food, such kind and friendly people! Our dream - if we were to win the lottery - would be to hire a limo and tour the entire lower 48 states (staying in Best Westerns along the way, of course!) stopping to savor all each state had to offer for as long as it takes!

O gosh! So many places to visit and so little time. Where are my keys? Luggage? C'mon honey we got to go. Forget your hair you look beautiful. Let's go, Canada is waiting. So much to see.

My husband and I want to visit the New England states in October. I am thinking about either Bartlett, New Hampshire or Lenox, Mass. I want to go to the best place to view the fall foliage.
We have also scheduled a spring trip to visit Charleston, South Carolina staying at a Best Western for a few days.

We traveled in Canada in 2011. We plan on visiting the New england states in 2012 to see the fall foliage.

i need a weekend away,preferably by a beach but any where just to getaway.

I would like to go Home to Maine and spend time with family---put my feet in the atlantic ocean see my 80 year old Aunt and Uncle and my 87 year old father in law and many family and friends

No regrets, only resolutions! Travel plans for 2012... would love to take my baby daughter on a tropical island holiday before she turns 2!

Paris is my destination of choice - a great city for a 25th anniversary with my beautiful wife!

Would like to try Hautocco 2012 Looks like a beautiful place to travel!

I was going to travel south, had to cancel trip due to a family health problem.

I would like to go to Ottawa again.

A few years back my Langstaff cousins in British Columbia published a book of the Langstaff family history. I never knew much about my great grandfathers and an uncle who moved there about 1918. Mom and I wrote pages of Montana family stories and sent it to the book. Now I would like to meet the writers at their Langstaff family reunion in McBride BC next August 3-6. The famale cousins look just like me I think!

I would like to take a cruise up the coast from Vancouver to Alaska, to see the killer whales and the bears. My sister said it is the best trip she ever took.

I would have liked to use Best Western in Venice, Fla but the Barclay Bank won't
give us a Best Western credit card. Don't know why, the other major motel chains have given us one and we use those to get points to use at their motels. OH well. I still
like Best Western and we do stay there.

We have never been to Hawaii and this year we are finally going!!! We scraped and saved for many many years! We are so excited!!!!

I would love to visit my best friend in California.

I'm booking my trip to Chicago right now. We love spending a weekend in the Windy City for St. Patty's Day. Obe of the many things to be excited about is the free parking at the Best Western. They are the only hotel in the city with free parking. That saves me about $25-$40 a night.

I did get to go to New York City to see the Christmas tree with my son and my friends, but unfortuently that is all we saw. I do regret that we did not have enough time to go to the 9 11 memorial site. I do definetly plan on going back to New York soon to see the Memorial and pay my respects to the many people who lost their lives so tragically.

I really wanted to tour around the Washington, DC area. I would have used Washington, DC or Arlington, VA as my base. I would have toured the museums and gone shopping at the various malls. I would have taken a day trip to a beach such as Sandy Point State Park and/or taken a ride out to the countryside such as Leesburg or Front Royal. But, the summer and fall came and went and I didn't get to do it. Thank you for running this sweepstakes. Good luck to all.

We went on a 10,000 mile road trip this past October 2011. Started in Washington state and went to 16 states and DC. It was wonderful and we only stayed at Best Western hotels the whole trip. I think we stayed 30 nights and every BW was great. In April 2012 we are flying to Alaska to see our son and will be driving back on the Al-Can highway in a car he no longer wants, again we will only be staying at BW hotels. Have used map quest to help us with the route and finding BW hotels. We have not stayed at any other hotel in the last 3 years.Next year 2013 we will be going to Hawaii and of vourse only will be staying at BW.

This year I would love to travel to the east coast. Visit Florida and take a Disney world / universal studios vacation :)

This year I would love to take my girlfriend on a surprise vacation to Atlantis or maybe Hawaii somewhere tropical and romantic...we have been meaning to travel but our schedules are just too hectic, but this year I'm gonna do it.
Hopefully by her birthday next month :)

It has been a tradition in our family to pick a spot on the Oregon Coast every year and go for at least 1 week. We haven't been able to go for a few years now and this Spring break my 15 year old and I would like to go explore the California coast for a change. I have friends and family in California that I never get to see so that would be a fantastic trip!!

I want to travel around the Washington, DC/Arlington, VA area. I would tour the museums and use that area as a base to take a few day trips to places such as Leesburg, Mount Vernon, Williamsburg or Front Royal. Thanks for running this sweepstakes.

Last year, my wish was to visit the Canadian East Coast with my husband for the first time. His schedule got really busy and due to unforeseen circumstances we could not take the trip. My resolution is that this summer we hopefully get the chance to visit the East Coast and make a wonderful romantic holiday out of it!

I have wanted to travel to Florida for a while now. I hope that I finally can this year. I plan on looking into some schools so that I can further my education in dental hygiene there. I would also love to visit my family, and my boyfriend's family that reside in Florida. If this were to happen, we would stay in the hotel we've stayed at the past two times we've traveled ; Best Western. They have never failed us, and we love what great rooms we get for such an inexpensive price. Thanks Best Western :)

My claim to fame is that I stayed at a Best Western in Rocamadour, France -- an incredible cliffside village. My last trip to France was in 2003. My wings have been clipped too long:( Returning to France is my 'raison d'etre.' :)

I regret not travelling much at all in 2011 and vow to do much more this year!

My resolution for 2012? To stay at a Best Western wherever we travel. With comfortable, appealing rooms; friendly and helpful staff; tasty breakfasts; and Reward points -- it's the Best way to go!!

I would like to travel to PEI this year!

My New Years Travel Resolution is that I want to try to travel more!!!!

I meant to travel to skate the Rideau Canal

Rad

Last December instead of making reservations using BestWestern.com's website we tried another site and ended up booking a room at the Deerfield Beach Confort Suites in Florida. That turned out to be a big mistake! The front desk personnel was very unhelpful, they should take lessons on how to treat the hotel guests from the Best Western just next to them! Also, the breakfast bar had plenty of frozen bagels, but NO TOASTER! And when we asked to speak to the "so called" manager, she sent us to have breakfast to the BEST WESTERN, which was a delightful experience. I guess it is correct to say "you learn from your mistakes" so my 2012 resolution is: from now on only BEST WESTERN will do!

Hope to get to east side of lower Michigan to see more lighthouses.

I would love to travel to several national parks with my hubbie and two daughters in 2012!

Bonjour, last year I was close to Newfoundland and not did stop, this year in 2012 I will make sure I stop and visit.

Our bucket list travel in 2011 Australia 5 weeks, New Zealand 2 weeks, Cook Islands 1 week, fantastic trip but not enough time in New Zealand.
Beautiful people and country.

I will travel to Florida and stay at best western, using my free nights that I win here.

Upset I didn't make Hawaii in 2012. Now 2012 date will have to be cancelled due to wife's hip re[lacement. Due to nmot taking insurance, my costs are not reimbursed, so I am really upset my wife and I missed our 2012 vacation and now will miss the 2012 planned and not get a refund.

But I did use my free Best Wetern for one night at Ocean Shores Washington. A great place, great staff, and the owls from the aric were there.

*** My travel resolution for 2012 is to travel to Charlotte NC to the Nascar "Allstar" Sprint Cup race on May 19th.
I have the race tickets now I need the "BEST" hotel to stay in.
I love you Best Western and Thank You : )

I would really love to go New York and Washington DC... waiting , waiting and wishing to visit there Best Western Hotel, because simply the best
Gosh ! what a nice plan, exciting..
I want to take my new husband there as a first anniversary surprise
Wishing to have a full week...matter of planning is'nt !?
My resolution ''making DREAMS happen''
I love you
Claire xoxo Now let's see ! thanks !

Meant to get to the Pacific Northwest. Maybe this year.

Regret of 2011...... not moving my hotel choices earlier and staying in more BWs versus other hotel properties in the year ... For 2012 plan to stay in more BWs and less other hotel chain properties... and building up my rewards points so I can use them with my kids for a fun road trip. My daughter is a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives fan, and we did a fun trip last year hitting 17 places in one week, and we did a small one this year to visit 3 places as part of another travel plan.

I choose to pay off my car in 2011. Some days and even months I regretted this move,but the year pasted and I made it. I missed holidays in 2011,and my body didnt enjoy the extra work I made it do.But another year and holidays are booked.

We were invited to travel to India this winter but alas, couldn't afford the plane tickets. We have plans to go next winter for a month.

We are missing our BC family. Not making it out there during the summer is our regret. There's even a new baby from Spring 2010 that we need to meet!

I was going to stay at the Best Western Woodbury Inn and visit the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site last summer but wasn't able to make time for it. Later I happened to read that Sagamore Hill will be closed for renovations for the next two years! My resolution is when I have the idea to do something, just do it! I will probably still go stay at the Best Western Woodbury Inn and see some of the other sights in the area next summer.

I really want to go back to Alaska this summer. The Midnight Sun is awesome...

If I could pick one dream trip in 2012, it would be to Budapest, a city with wildly romantic architecture, history that is both inspiring and tragic and wonderful people. There is also delicious food and music and dancing on almost every street. At least, this is what I see in my dreams, on travel shows and in carefully selected foreign movies.

I regret talking my family back to Nova Scotia. My husbands family is there and we had a wonderful time visiting the TALL Ships and traveling along the coast a couple of years ago. All I hear now from my kids and family is when are we going back. Would love to tell them we're going back this summer!

I would like to go to Myrtle Beach, South Caroliona and stay at a beach house with my husband in June to realx and celebrate our wedding anniversay on June 9th.!!!!

After a long international flight, it is nice to be welcomed by a friendly Best Western reception clerk and directed to our room where we can rest and refresh and sleep off the jet lag. Happily, we have never had a noise problem.

2011 passed with memories of great road trips. Starting in Alabama, we made our way to New York via Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, D.C., Philly and New Jersey. Another was to Chattanooga, Nashville, Mammoth Caves, Memphis and Gulf Shores. Those were the major trips and we also made several trips to New Orleans and Panama City Beach and Tallahassee. We will be moving to California in a few months and we already have plans to explore the west coast. Happy New Year!!!

I didn't get to go on a motorcycle tour in the states in 2011. This year, I will be riding my '03 Suzuki Volusia on the Dragontail in Deal's Gap, Tennessee!

Resolution to bring my fiancee to Vegas for her first time.

I resolve to use more of my vacation days for actual vacation this year.

I regret not traveling to Hawaii this year. Need to save more money and hopefully go this year.

planned, booked amtrak and rooms for seattle but the dakota floods cancelled the train trip. had to replan quick within 2 weeks call from amtrak and rerouted to san francisco with my grandson. this year hopefully seattle.

planned, booked an amtrak trip to seattle but the dakota floods prevented the trip.
amtrak called and cancelled and within 2 weeks i rerouted to san francisco. hopefully this year it to seattle

It's our 35th wedding anniversary this year and would be the perfect time to take our first ever trip to Europe; we keep talking about it but so far have not made a plan. They say you are more likely to accomplish a goal if you write it down, so maybe this will get us moving---literally!

We are planning on travelling to France this year with a 2 day stop over in Iceland!

I would like to hopefully take an all inclusive trip to Cuba since i never been to an all inclusive resort. No need to worry about food and drinks.

My biggest regret on my last big trip was that I got trapped in the middle of the Christchurch earthquake Feb. 22, 2011, escaping with only the clothes on my back [no passport] and didn't get to continue on to Picton, Nelson and Wellington. Four days later when we were air lifted to Auckland I phoned home to tell everyone I was alive and safe only to find that my father had passed away.

I feel blessed to be alive after being in the Christchurch Cathedral Tower only 45 minutes before it collapsed. Still love traveling and the wonderful people of New Zealand who made sure we got to safety and where well taken care of until we could be evacuated.

I hope to travel to Miami this year to attend a friend's wedding.

No vacations for us in the last 2 years. In 2010, I hurt my back & then I was laid off a month later. In 2011, I broke my leg. I would very much like to look forward to a family vacation with our Grandkids in 2012. Maybe to Disney World or Royal Gorge or Grand Canyon. Best Western is almost everywere, so we would have choices all across America!

We had decided to try going to the East Coast and travel around New England last year, but then had a change of plan and ended up in Texas instead. Texas is fine, but I think that I would still like to try sightseeing throughout New England.

Colombia in South America and "The Far East", as my British friends call it, have been thoroughly researched and will become a reality in my adventure book this year.

Taking the ultimate road trip for 12 days this spring, and staying at Best Westerns at every stop along the way. Savannah Georgia, Key West Florida, New Orleans Louisiana, Memphis Tennesee, St. Louis Missouri, Denver Colorado, Mammoth Hot Springs Wyoming, Seattle Washington, Sacramento California and San Diego California. I am taking my mother, who has always wanted to drive across the country, but her highlight will be to finally visit Graceland. I will be taking a one way flight from San Diego to move to Hawaii, and my mom and her boyfriend will be visiting friends along the way back home to PA. I have already logged 28 states plus DC, and with this trip will be getting very close to all 50. Thanks Best Western, for having great hotels (with free breakfasts) at all our destinations!

I always look forward to vacationing with my husband and 3 children but last year was the first time we were unable to plan a family trip. Unfortunately, it looks like 2012 will be the same. Although I understand the reasons why we need to give up traveling together and the added expense, it still doesn't keep my urge to watch for deals that pop up or enter wonderful giveaways like this one and hope for a different outcome!

I would love to show my daughter more of Canada. She is seven and we have not done any travelling. This year I had planned on going through the interior of BC but was unable to because I was diagnosed with cancer and ended up going for treatment instead:(

In 2011, we only made a long weekend trip to the Big Bend area of Texas. Great trip, but we'd done that one before. The year before, however, we traveled all the way to Yellowstone National Park from Texas by car and spent time in the Black Hills on the way there. Then, we came back home via Colorado through the Rockies. We didn't have time to visit the Badlands on the way up. [sigh, so sad] Thus, another trip is warranted to see the Badlands. Yes!!!

In 2011, we made a long weekend trip to the Big Bend area of Texas. In 2012, I'd like to visit the Badlands!

Instead of that long weekend trip to Big Bend, I need a 2-wk trip through the Badlands!

I always enjoy when my wife and I go on a trip. Last year we talked about, but did not go to Orlando. I really missed the opportunity and hope that it will be afforded to us in the future.

I would love to visit New Orleans again. I have not been there in many years and feel it is important to see the city post-Katrina. The people are so friendly, the food is great and the culture is so diverse. It has been almost twenty years since I was last there. Thanks to Best Western for sponsoring this contest!! Lets all see America!!

I want to take my son on a bike trip to the four corners area (arizona colorado new mexico utah) this year as he will be 22 and done his schooling.I want to do this before he starts work and his life as we all know how difficult it is to get together and go somewhere once our kids move and start there lives.

My travel resolution is for my husband and I to take our kids to Hawaii. They are still young but have always had a facination with it as have I. We promised to take them this year but it didn't work out financially so we have to find a way to make it work this year. It doesn't hurt that Best Westerns are wonderful hotels either! :)

My travel regret for 2011 is I did not travel to see my mom enough! So, my resolution for 2012 is to go see her as often as possible. She comes to visit here every few months...I could give this BW giftcard to her! It would save her some expense!

My travel regret for 2011 is that I didn't have my passport ready when a trip came available

I will be traveling to New York this year.

I want to visit Las Vegas. I love it there.

I want to go back to Cancun. i love it there. The other place would be Vegas. That place was fun too.

I plan to take more road trips and next week will be taking my first road trip of 2012 to Santa Fe, New Mexico - yay!

I would love to travel to California to Disneyland If i could afford it!!

I would love to travel to California to Disneyland If i could afford it!!

Palm Springs Here I come

I would love to take my family to Quebec City. It looks SO beautiful, historic, and family friendly!

i just want to travel more in 2012

On New Year's Eve 2012 I spent a lovely evening with my two sons at the Best Western Capilano in Vancouver BC. With our tidy room, dinner out at a restaurant within walking distance, a great view of the Lion's Gate Bridge all lit up for the holidays, and lots of good movies, we really enjoyed our night. Nice memories!

My travel resolution for 2012 is to get the kiddies to Disney World in Orlando and we are hoping to stay at the Best Western Plus in August.

My travel resolution for 2012 is to get the kiddies to Disney World. We are hoping to stay at the Best Western Plus in Orlando in August. Fingers crossed.

This year we plan to fly to Arizona (it was either Maui or Arizona so of course we chose Arizona!). We want to explore all of the great state parks down there and get into some warm sun.

My travel regret from 2011 is that I did not go anywhere I have not been. I want to go to Europe. Can someone help me pay?

Last year I wished there was more sunshine in my neck of the woods as I like exploring it......in the sunshine. I had to go to Mexico for 4 wks to find some. This year I am only going for 3 1/2 and am hoping to spend my summer in the Canadian sunshine and blue skys.

I'd love to take my daughter to Disneyland in Florida.

Went on a road trip with my husband to BC . It was somewhat of a Business Trip for him and I tagged along thinking we would get some time to ourselves to enjoy. Didnt happen , spent the entire trip stuck in his truck in traffic , getting lost and running behind . I regretting going cause I only get 10 days vacation a year and wasted 4 of them stuck in a truck !

Haven't traveled anywhere in the last 10 yrs. Haven't had the money or been able to. Hoping to be able to this year.

Didn't go anywhere last year. Haven't been anywhere in so long, that I'd enjoy anyplace I could get the chance to go!

I regret not going skiing every chance I had

I will return to Costa rica this year for sure

I would Love to take my to California to see his brothers and to Washington state to see his sister. I would be the first time we would see them after their adorable, sweet, saintly Mother-In-Law passed away almost 4 years ago. They are the BEST Family to be around and my hubby doesn't get to see them enough. Thank You for the chance!!!! :)

I am taking my mom on a cross country trip this May. We are almost going to all 4 corners of the US! Starting in northeast PA we are visiting Savannah GA, Key West FL, New Orleans LO, Memphis TN, St. Louis MI, Denver CO, Mammoth Hot Springs WY, Helena MT, Seattle WA, Sacramento CA, and San Diego CA before I hop a one way flight to live my dream in Hawaii. My mom's highlight will be visiting Graceland, she loves Elvis and has always wanted to go. She and her boyfriend will be visiting friends along the way back to PA...but on our trip out we will be staying at Best Westerns at every stop along the way. Thanks for always having clean, comfy rooms (most with free breakfasts) that I can count on for every road trip..

2012 Travel Resolution . . Get back to Australia, beautiful country, great people. Never a bad time there.

My husband and I drove to see his parents in Texas for Christmas, then stopped on the way back in New Orleans for our 3rd wedding anniversary. I got sick the 2nd day into the trip, and spent most of the time in the hotel throwing up, so I missed most of the Texas visit, and 2 of the 3 days of New Orleans. My stomach was so upset that I couldn't enjoy ANY spicy, Cajun cuisine! WAHHH!!!! I want a redo!!!!!! We also stayed at a non-Best Western for the Texas leg of the trip because the one his mother suggested was closer, and It ended up being an AWFUL hotel! I want a DO-OVER!!!!

I would love to take my kids to see the ocean. They have never seen it before. I think they would have a great time playing in the water and collecting shells. Building sandcastles would be the best! I want to give them memories.

Going to Europe for the first time this year. Spain and France, can't wait!

I am taking my Grand kids on a Hawaii trip and I am going to take a Alaska cruise, will try to go to New york ,the dreams are big but will see what I can accomplish,a free vacation anywhere would help,I just love to travel.Thank you for the opportunity.

Hoping for anniversary trip to new orleans!

I'd like to get back to the West coast.

I sincerely hope to get to the Caribbean this year--it's the first time for me.

Would love to take my wife to New York for our 10th wedding anniversary!

I would love to travel to see our Color Guard perform at nationals!!!

would like to go up to wyoming and visit yellowstone park this time. have been to wyoming before, used to live in wyoming. I love the rockies

I started a new job and we had to cancel our vacation plans

MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING TO ATLANTIC BEACH RESORT IN MIAMI,APRIL 12,2012.I KNOW IT WILL BE A LOT WARMER THAN VANCOUVER,B.C.

id like to go visit my boyfriend whil he is working in Bali!!!!!

2012 travel resolution, we want to go to Alaska and pan for gold!

I'd like to take my husband back to Vegas where we honeymooned. Just the two of is. We haven't been on a vacation alone in 7 years!!

I would like to travel to Disneyworld again, I love that place! I cannot wait to go back there, when I left... I literally cried! It is truly the happiest place on earth. I would also like to travel to Cancun, Mexico for my birthday; I would like to relax after a stressful college semester. Thanks Best Western for giving me a chance to win! =)

My husband and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in April. Although we've both lived our entire lives in Texas neither of us has ever been to San Antonio. I'd love to travel to San Antonio to celebrate our anniversary.

No regrets in 2011 having used multiple Best Westerns during travels. And in 2012 it is going to be better with a visit and first night in the Best Western in Venice, Italy before heading to Cortina and a week of skiing.

Would make it easier on my mom to be able to afford to see me graduate from navy bootcamp near Chicago.

I'll be getting married this year, and everyone always wants to travel to a warm, resort destination for their honeymoon. Although I'd love a trip to Hawaii, Jamaica, or other such places, there's two other areas I'd like to visit. One would be to revisit Austin, Texas. It's got the best laid back, half college town half booming city vibe. With the great food, the music, and all there is to see, I'd love to go back. The other region would be Oregon/Washington. My fiance and I have this weird obsession with Oregon (go Ducks!) and Washington. We've never been there, but we have this amazing idea of what it's like. So we'd love an opportunity to travel, whether it be to a resort destination, bring us back to Austin, or explore somewhere new like Oregon.

I would love to go to Colorado and see a concert at the Red Rock

I'd like to take my husband back to Vegas where we honeymooned. We haven't vacationed alone in 7 Yeats!

I would love to travel to somewhere like Tromso, Norway or Inuvik, Canada during the cold winter months so that I could see the northern lights! Would be a dream come true!! :)

Vancouver! I just moved to Seattle this past August, and the by golly it is difficult to get to the land over yonder without a vehicle. I have been stalking ride-shares constantly without any luck. Why Vancouver in the winter you might ask? Easy--I am missing that white fluffy thing that all Seattle-lites dread, SNOW. Think about all the possibilities...snowshoeing, igloo building, snowball fights, snowangels, snowcones, snowbeards, hypothermia, snowboarding..etc. One other perk, I will finally be able to go to a NHL Game. Go Canucks! Bucket List Item #36

I would love to go to Colorado and see a concert at the Red Rock

No regrets in 2011. Having stayed in different Best Western over the years. Would like to travel up to yellowstone park some time soon

No regrets in 2011 after staying at multiple Best Westerns in the US. For 2012, looking forward to the first night at the Best Western in Venice, Italy before a week of skiing at Cortina...so the only regret that the stay is not at a Best Western.

I would love to travel to Pennsylvania or wherever my son will be doing his residency since he will be gone for three years.

I regret that I didn't make the time to travel with my family. The kids are getting older and I vow go on a vacation with them this year. Maybe I will take them to Pittsburgh for a weekend:)

We are planning a trip to Arizona in April by car from Georgia and in August a much needed trip to my homestate of Wisconsin, again by car. We love to drive places because we get to see more.

Live in Alaska, so anywhere you can see the sun and feel its heat. :)

Looking forward to an amazing road trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands. I have wanted to go for years and my boyfriend and I are finally doing it. I enjoy my travels outside of Canada, but also inside - which often gets overlooked. After this all I have left to cover Canada is the Territories. Can't wait!!

My best friend are either traveling to the Virgin Islands or Hawaii. We are in the planning stages now. : )

I would love to travel to Pennsylvania or where my son will be doing his residency as he will be gone for three years.

My family and I are crazy about Disney and love going to Orlando! Sadly, I fell which led to an abdominal wound and finally surgery so we had to not only forget any plans to Florida but we were going to at least go to Maine for a mini vacation! That too didn't work as I got an infection. So for 7 months I had weekly hospital visits and daily nurse visits and an eventual surgery! Hopefully recuperation will be done by April vacation and if not then we are off when school is out! The hope is for Disney/Orlando but Maine is also an option as well as a 3 or 4 day *inexpensive* cruise! At least that's the hope!

I would like to take my 2 granddaughters (15 & 13) to England, they have lots of cousins and other relatives that they have never met yet.

Heading to Cabo for the first time later this month!

Last year we drove to Southern California and visited the 5 theme parks and the beaches. This year I am planning a cruise from New Orleans to Cozamel and back. I've never been anywhere east of Colorado. It will be nice to see a different part of the United States.

I regret not going on a cruise with my parents to alaska before my dad passed away. i hope to accomplish this with my mom soon.

My husband and I have always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. We were within 100 miles of it for a business trip last year but never found the time to make that drive. I want to see it in 2012!

Planning a road trip along the Florida Panhandle this spring.

My husband & I went to Florida to celebrate our anniversary in September, 2011-we got the unfortunate news that my mother-in-law passed away one day after arrival so we headed home heavy-hearted. We are now planning a return trip in June, 2012 with our granddaughter - I'm sure it will be a happier time....the circle of life....

Due to illness between myself and my daughter in 2011 we never really left our house! I would love to take my great granddaughter this summer up to Maine to go on a lobster boat and sea the ocean and some of the other great sights. Would naturally like to do some shopping and of course have some great lobster boils while there!

I will go with my son and daughter-in-law to Everett, Washington for my oldest grandson's wedding in August. And we'll be able to see other family members whom we haven't seen in years.

i reget not taking my parents on a cruise to alaska before my dad passed away, i hope to do this with my momsoon.

I would to go to Ukraine! :D

Being unemployed all last year except for a few wonderful temp assignments, ANYWHERE will be welcome. I think it will be New York as my cousin and a good friend both live on Manhattan.

My husband and I traveled a lot between AL and NC in 2011, the first being where our families live and the latter where we live. This year, we would love to get to travel somewhere out of these two states, perhaps New Mexico; I've heard it is beautiful there.

I regret not going to explore the Oregon coast with my Mom who passed away in 2011. I would live to do this in 2012.

We have never been to Hawaii and would like to go.

Did not get to travel to Sedona last year, maybe this year.

The place I most want to go to in 2012 that I didn't get to go to in 2011 is Montreal. My birth place that is only 4500kms from where I live in Alberta but havn't been to in almost 20yrs. I am Married now and would Love to bring my wife there as well.
thanks for the chance and best of luck to all others
Steve

In 2012 I would like to travel to Northern Minnesota!

I did not travel at all in 2011. I am going to make up for it in 2012. I am going to San Deigo, Ca. first, then many more trips, I hope.

I'll be going to Austin, plus hopefully D.C. and Colorado Springs and Philly this year! At least!

I want to go to St. Louis this year.

I want to go to Hawaii. I have never been there, and my husband was stationed there before we were married, and always tell me how lovely it is there. Sigh. Someday.

In 2012 I would like to travel to Nashville.

Last summer, was the first year I got enough time off of work, to take a sizeable trip on our motorcycle! We left our hometown of Oregon, headed to the very Southern tip of Florida. After dodging tornado's, rain and hot weather...we just entered Florida, and had to head back home. Not reaching our destination, but just enough to say wen to Florida! Hope to get a chance at that much time off of work again this summer and head to the East Coast...We'll see.

I pretty much covered Italy during 2011, but did not get to Cinque Terra

We went to Nashville, TN last year; but we need to go to Michigan to see our grandchildren. We have never got to see them as of yet and we plan on going there either this spring or summer.

We went to Nashville, TN last year and we need to go to Michigan this year. We have grandchildren there that we haven't seen as of yet. We plan to go there either this spring or summer.

My regret was not going on more roadtrips. There is nothing more therapeutic for me than hopping into a car and just driving.

Last summer, I got an unheard of 3 weeks vacation! We decided this was the year to go from our hometown of Oregon to the Southern tip of Florida, on our motorcycle! After dodging such bad weather of tornado's, rain, and such hot weather, we hit the state of Florida, and ended up having to turn around and head for home in order to make it back home in time for work! Well, we CAN say we got to Florida, but that's about the extent of it. This Summer? Not sure what we will do.

Will finally make it to 'John Ford' country and see the Four Corners, Monument Valley, and Chaco Canyon.

Will finally make it to 'John Ford' country and see the Four Corners, Monument Valley, and Chaco Canyon.

I would like to take my family to ski at Killington Ski Resort in Vermont. We live in Maine and would to get to as many ski areas around New England in 2012 as possible. Winning a $250 Best Western Travel Card would sure help with that!

I would like to go to Washington DC this year.

Our goal this summer is to take an extended road trip to the Pacific Northwest to visit friends and show our children some country they have never seen.

Because of sickness in my family, we were unable to travel or take a vacation in 2011. It is the beginning of a new year, things are looking up, and I would love to travel to Florida to visit my parents.

Two places that I had planned on travelling to in 2011 that never made it, are Florida and Hawaii! This year for sure, both places are on my list!

On a quick trip to Florida last spring we stopped in Boston on the way home to see a Toronto-Boston hockey game. Great game - Leafs won! We stayed at the unique BW Roundhousel what a great spot. We realized later, though, that we didn't see the real Boston, and would like to get back there this year and see some of the history, as well as some of the newer city.

Well, we're crisscrossing the country, again, for a job. Would like to see what's in between.

Travel regret: Not enough. We travel a lot on our motorcycles, wish we had been able to more of it. Travel Resolution: Get on those bikes and see the more of the USA!!!

Friends have been asking us to visit them in Florida for the last three years...this is the year to make it happen!

My travel regret is that I haven't done any. Thank the economy for that. If money and time were no object a couple of places I'd love to go would be Australia &I Ireland, Scotland would be cool too. Within this country I'd love to take my grandson to Disney. Thanks for the opportunity!

This year I want to get to spend more quality time with my newly found sister in Indianapolis. I know it may not seem like much compared to others on here, but it is what is important to me. You have to take the time to make memories because you never know when that will be all you have. I want to make as many memories as possible! The Good Lord called one Sister home too soon but blessed me with another and I want to make the most of our time. Make the most of your time with your families.

We would like to take our girls to the beach this year. We wanted to last year, but didn't get a chance. Since the passing of my husband's dad last month, we want to make it a point to not put off things (like this trip) that are important to our family.

I would like to go to eastern canada; an area I've never been. Specifically, Niagra Falls - for the falls, and the area around it. I'd like to travel on the boat that goes on the falls, and visit some of the historic sites. I'd also like to stay at a Best Western there. I like comparing the various Best Western Hotels and have found wonderfully soft beds, great service (even after a late flight), great prices, greater locations (close to tourist attractions and transportation), and good food. So the one thing I chose during a vacation in 2011 were Best Western Hotels, but I will definitely do so again in 2012. I'd also like to see my sister in Ottawa.

I'd like to travel to eastern Canada. Specifically Niagra Falls. The tourist advertisements attracted me, but I know people who have visited. I'd like to take the tour boat on the falls, and also see a few heritage sites. Ofcourse I would be staying at a Best Western Hotel, which I stayed at in 2011 as well. It will be easy to check the locations and amenities on the Best Western site. In 2011 I stayed in Vancouver and found my Best Western Hotel in Vancouver NW to have all I needed; including soft pillows, soft bed, great breakfast, greater location, and a terrific price. I could also take a side trip from there to see my sister in Ottawa.

2011 was a tough year as both my daughter and myself were sick most of the year between the two of us! With the timing we were never able to go on vacation at all with nurses coming daily for almost 7 months! So I have high hopes for 2012 to either take my great granddaughter to Maine to sea the ocean and go out on a lobster boat as well as some delicious lobster boils. A 3 or 4 day cruise would also be nice in addition to Maine or even 3 or 4 days to Disney Orlando! Anywhere from home with the family will be a wonderful getaway!

2012 is the beginning of a New Year. I will be retiring in March, so as a surprise to my 2 grandsons, I am taking them to Texas to visit family. It will be a long trip as I am the only driver, but I feel this experience will be very rewarding. I get time to spend with my grandsons, we get to visit family and Mom and Dad get a vacation of their own.

We wil be stopping 2 nights along the way, so of course they will be at Best Westerns Plus. I have stayed in the Best Western Plus in Allentown, Pennsylvania at least 10 times this year. That is why I will only stay at Best Western Plus.

Regrets for 2011 - not staying longer in Maui - 7 days is not enough time to enjoy all the great sites and things to do.
Resolutions 2012 - travel more to exotic places not just the touristy ones, but may include Bahamas, Fiji and New Zealand. Staying at Best Western hotels more often.

I would go to Ocala, Florida and stay at the Best Western there and then to Disney in Orlando. My dad has Alzheimer's and I have been out of work, so can't afford to fly/drive down there, but would like to see him, honest, while he still remembers me, then my boyfriend and I would drive the hour to DisneyWorld, where we have never been together, and relax and unwind there.

I want to visit Washington D.C. I've been there several times, but it is always a fascinating city.

Another year has passed without me going to visit my mother. I was hoping to have had a job in time for me to make the trek to Indiana for Christmas! My new goal is to make it by Mothers Day. I miss that woman and neither of us is getting any younger.

I want to visit Washington, D.C. I have been there several times; it is a fascinating city.

Selfishly, I want to visit my grandson who is in AF and stationed in MS. Was not able to afford in 2011 but it has been 3 YRS!!! and I'm more than ready to see him.

I'm headed to Italy, Switzerland and France this year! So excited. Then a few short trips with the camper and then, of course, football season in Bozeman and the Grantree!

Selfisly, I want to visit my Grandson who is in the AF stationed in MS. Was unable to afford in 2011 but after 3 YRS!!!! I am more than ready to see him.

In 2011, I was only able to take a very short trip to Europe and regret not being able to see more of the world. Would love to visit the U.S, specifically California and take a family member along.

I would love to take a trip to New York with my family!!

Would love to visit New York. My husband and I grew up there and have lots of family we haven't seen i over twenty years. How great that would be to reconnect and to visit old neighborhoods! We have great nieces and nephews we have only met over Skype but never in person. My grandchildren would be able to meet their family for the very first time.

We're traveling by motorcycle from Kansas to Michigan this summer!

I really want to go back to New Orleans. It will be 35 years in February since we've been there. It would be a great anniversary present!

I so regret that I DIDN"T get to see my son's this year again for the holidays. It has been over 10 years since we have been together in the same room.
My resolution is to figure out a way to fly them both to WI for a visit.
One is in NY and one is in TX.
Winning this would sure help in making this resolution a reality.

my regret was that my sons and i spent another holiday season apart. it has been over 10 years since we were in the same room together. My resolution is to figure a way to fly them both to WI for a family reunion. One is in TX and one in NY and none of us have the resources to pay for plane tickets. winning this would help towards making this resolution a reality.

My husband and I would love to fly to Houston, TX again to see his sister and her family. We haven't seen them for a while and know all the grandkids have grown by leaps and bounds.

i would like to go to new yorkmi have never been and have always wanted to see the sights.

i would go to weatherford tx to see a son i haven;t seen in 34years he was kidnapped from me by his dad n grandparents 34years ago

i;d go to weatherford tx to see my son that i haven;t seen in 34years

I would love to see the fall colors in New England this year--that's been on y bucket list for a long time. However, I must also make at least one trip to San Diego for my son's birthday in May.

My travel regret is that I didn't research weather patterns better and went to India during monsoon season. My travel resolution is to be more careful about weather. This year's trip to Brazil will be in the dry season-it matters since I like to watch birds!

Las Vegas would be the place I want to travel to

I would love to travel back to my birth place with my children and share those moments with them before this short life may end.

Mardi Gra s in MOBILE, AL and in NEW ORLEANS LA

Wanting to go to Yosemite National Park. First real trip to California.

2011 was a year of extensive life saving surgeries for me. It was devastating to my children watching me go from one surgery to another.
I prayed to survive, and to be able to take that trip with my children back to my birthplace that I have not seen in over 41 years.
I would love to take this journey here in 2012, because 2011 has showed us that life is not a guarantee.

My biggest travel regret occurred a few years back when I visited the San Francisco area several times on business, and did not take the opportunity to visit NAPA valley
or the redwood forests nearby. My biggest regret for last year was that the Best Western Main Gate in Kissimmee, FL that we spent 3 wks. at last winter is no longer a Best Western. It changed hands and raised prices!

2011 was a very busy year for our family. Growing twin children (with one who has Cerebral Palsy & Epilepsy).... can make being a single parent alot to manage. We didnt' travel as much as we wanted. We really wanted to hit Anaheim before year end... but due to my son's disabilities...and having to home school him now, we just couldn't make the almighty dollar stretch as far. ;( This coming year 2012... my daughter (the other twin) and I do plan to take him to Anaheim! We have worked hard to collect Air Miles... and we only redeem them on BW Hotels...because they are excellent and courteous towards those with special needs, really they are the best! For the past 12 years, we only use BW.... we've tried others and have only been disappointed with the lack of regard towards those in wheelchairs. I do have the most precious twins....and they do deserve to have a little fun..... afterall, they are only young for a little time ;)

My travel regret for 2011 is, I didn't travel at all! I would love to go to Ft. Myers Beach, Florida with wonderful friends. Estero Blvd. in February to get away from the snow in Ohio.

I would love to travel to Hawaii again, where I went on my honeymoon with my gorgeous wife back in 2009!

My husband and I have traveled to many foreign countries but now we want to "SEE THE USA". We have only traveled south of North Carolina and only westward to Tenn. We would like to start traveling westward and see where it takes us. USA here we come if we win!

Being a single parent of 12 yr old twins can sometimes be a challenge. More so, when one child has severe disabilities and the other loves to travel. I have been truly blessed with these two children. They love to see new things and explore theme parks. Our goal was to visit Anaheim in 2011. Due to some health challenges with my son, we were not able to go quite that far, but we did get in some camping, and a few stays in a BW Hotel. We are always treated so well when we stay. BW has the best courteous staff to help when you are travelling with a wheelchair! This year, we plan to reach our travel goal of visiting Anaheim! Not only do I feel a great sense of independence travelling with my children, but to see their smiling faces, their laughter, their appreciation of seeing something different, makes it all worthwhile. So, would we appreciate an added bonus from you? Yes we would!

My husband and I have traveled to several foreign countries but now we want to see the USA! We have only traveled to the states south of North Carolina and only westward to Tenn. We really want to see all the beautiful areas that this great country has. USA here WE COME if we win this contest!

This year, girls weekend will be OUT of state!

My travel regret for 2011 is not driving to Charleston, SC as I've always wanted to visit.

I want to travel to Las Vegas.

I have a really long bucket list! I would really like to see Nova Scotia and spend some time at Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

It was our 25th anniversary and we didn't go anywhere :( ..We've had San Antonio, Texas on our list for years...hopefully this will be the year!!

Biggest regret? Still haven't made it to Hawaii. Wouldn't mind going back to San Francisco.

Biggest regret? Still haven't made it to Hawaii. Wouldn't mind going back to San Francisco.

Oh so many places to choose from, think I would like to go up the CA coast from maybe San Diego, have not done that in about 40 years. Maybe a stay in San Simeon area. USA travel is the best for this California native.

I would love to go see my Daughter graduate and see my grandkids.

I'd like to go to New England in the Fall.

I'd like to travel to New England in the Fall.

In 2011 I had really hoped to visit Charleston, South Carolina. I am fascinated by the concept of 'Southern Hospitality' and I admire the elegance, graciousness etc. of its rich history. I think a visit there would be a restorative delight to the soul. Unfortuately I never made the trip. I would LOVE to be able to make the visit in 2012!

I would like to travel anywhere, and right now, anywhere not associated with square dancing. Enough hotel reservations due to square dancing events. I would like to see more of the world, even see more of the USA. Been told havent really seen the USA until you see the Statue of Liberty, so that is on list, also Hersheys town, the big Coke Cola town, and anything inbetween. Also another trip to Hawaii would be nice, Japan, Ireland, Sweden, England, France. Heck anywhere.

My travel regret is not being able to take my family on vacation. My husband and I work countless hours per week and our last family vaction was 5 years ago. It's LONG overdue! We would love to take our kids to California.

To quote the Executive Office on the Russian sumarine in "The Hunt for Red October" ...

"I would have liked to have seen Montana."

My travel regret in 2011, is that I spent my "vacation" in a tent in my backyard for two days. In 2012, with a pending foreclosure and bankruptcy, all I can hope for is a weekend away with my husband. Our "dream vacation" is a week on the beach in the Carribean, ANYWHERE!!!

Spent 2 days in backyard tent for my 2011 "staycation". Due to bankruptcy and foreclosure, all I can hope for in 2012 is a weekend alone with my husband. Dream vacation is a week in Costa Rica!

So little time in 2011 with waiting on my granddaughter to be born. I'd love to get to Hawaii in 2012!

This winter we are going to take a trip to Kissimmee, Celebration, and then onto Siesta Key Beach in Florida. It is good to travel and get away from your daily schedules and commitments so you can look at your life in a broader spectrum and it is a good time to reflect.

HI WANT TO TRAVEL TO FORT LAUDERDALE FL. IN DEC. WANT TO STAY AGAIN AT ANOYHRR BEST WESTERN VERY COMFIE AND THE FREE BREAKFEST IS SUPER. CANT WAIT BARB

My travel regret for 2011 is not being able to travel anywhere!! ;(

Would love to visit my parents in Oregon this summer. Haven't been in over 2 years. Would also like to go to Moab, UT for Jeep Safari around Easter. Last time we went was over 4 years ago. Las Vegas is always a favorite of mine, even though we go almost every year.

My travel resolution for this year is to travel to MA to watch a home Patriots game!

I need to get to Vegas!!!!!

I would love to go to Destin, FL. I moved to Oklahoma 6 years ago and I have not been home to visit since. I am very homesick.

My girfriends daughter just moved to Texas and is expecting her 2d child any day. My goal is to have my GF visit at least every three months.

The thing I regret not being able to do in 2011 is travel more to see famil that is across the US from us. I resolve to take time this year to travel and spend time with them.

Went to Europe on a Meditteraean cruise. Left from Italy and returned to Italy. Wish we could have spent more time in Rome as there is far too much to in in 2 days. Next time we wil also try to get to the Amalfi coast.

Last year we drove to Southern California and did the theme parks. This year I am planning a cruise from New Orleans to Cozamell. Hope it pans out, I've never been east of Colorado.

I want to go to NYC this year, but not sure when!

My regret from 2011 is not travelling very much, and my 2012 resolution is to start travelling more. Even if it is to the city next to me, I want to travel more often and start saving money to go to many different places!

My husband traveled for work from Washington State to Virginia in October of 2011 and I didn't go with him. BIG mistake! He called every night to say how I will have to get there with him another time to visit all the historical homes of our forefathers and to check out the antique stores and try different foods. He's not an emotional guy, but after 26 years of marriage, he cried on the phone when he said he couldn't enjoy all those visits without me. He would turn to comment on things and I wouldn't be there. Next time, I will go with him. I can enjoy the hotel room and spas while he's in his meetings and then go exploring with him after work!

I had been planning a Waterfall hunt across Michigan's UP for the past two years. Last year was the year I was going to go until I trusted who I thought was a friend to drive my vehicle the week before the big trip. Sadly to say she crash my truck and all funds for the trip went to repairing my vehicle. Biggest regret ever. Going to go this year. No stopping me. Truck all fixed and if I have to rough it in it because of funds I will. Excited to no end for this great adventure.

I regret not enjoying vacation enough. Always too busy.

for 2012 i want to travel more with my kids and husband. we want to visit redwoods yosemite, the beaches, mountains. cant wait to make some new memories.

i want to travel to Georgia to visit family this year.

Travel throughout Texas and surrounding states doing volkswalks

I regret not going to las Vegas last year. I hope to get to Vegas this year.

Last year drove to Southern California, and did the theme parks. This year trying to plan a cruise from New Orleans to Cozamel, hope it pans out. I've never been anywhere east of Colorado. It would be nice to see what the rest of the U.S. looks like.

I dont think Im ever gonna get too see Niagra falls..but gonna try a little harder this year..time is ticking...!

I wanna see Niagra falls

I did not get to travel to Orlando, FL. My sisters and I have vacationed there for the last 3 years. We usually stay over a long weekend and enjoy the parks, shopping, and each other. I would love to win and all of us can go in 2012.

I want to go to my class renunion this year is Sept.I have never been to one and I Have been sick I would love to see my old classmates.

Please disregard my two extra entries. I kept receiving a message that my comment had not posted due to an error and to try again which I did but resulted in two extra entries. Sorry this happened.....

My travel reget was that I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in NewMarket, Ontario. My son was married in Kettleby and his bride booked our reservations. I only managed to get two hours of broken sleep. The noise from the other rooms was unbearable. I complained to management four times throughout the night and was told there wasn't much they could do about it. Next time I need a place to stay I'm booking a Best Western room myself.

Love to go to Myrtle Beach

My 2011 travel regret is that i did not travel anywhere :(

My husband and I regret that we only got a single night away as a couple, and that was at a hotel in town. We hope to get away more frequently this year, so we can stay connected despite our busy lives.

I would like to travel down to Las Vegas, Californie and Hollywood on a road trip! I have always wanted to drive down their and I would stay at Best Western of course! But my regret is that I live in Canada and have never been on a airplane or traveled outside cold Canada!

In 2012 I must get out of town and go to a warm place. I need to sit in the sun and relax.

I would love to visit Italy again in 2012 as it was the last place I visited with my dear sister before she passed away in 2011. I would take this trip with my daughter and share many wonderful memories with her.

I was not able to visit family in Montana, Colorado, New York, and Texas. Hopefully I can visit a couple of families during 2012.

I have wanted to go to Hawaii for many years now and would love to go there for our 25th anniversary. We were at a Hawaiian dinner and get together this weekend at a friends place. We all dressed the part and had some great Hawaiian food. Made me all the more determined to make it there soon.

Would love to go to Disney in Florida and visit some friends that live nearby.

My plans for travelling in 2012 is to visit St. Augustine, FL.

We usually like to try to get away for a weekend in the winter with our kids so they can go swimming in the hotel pool and have some fun. I would love to be able to spend a night or two away this year with just my husband as it is so hard to find time together. I'm not sure I see that happening for several reasons but it's a nice thought anyways!

I would go to Ireland and immerse myself in the history of that wonderful island!

Believe it or not, it is to travel to my home state to see my parents and sister, as well as the cities that were fun to visit as a child. We haven't been back for almost 5 years and the children would like to visit their grandparents home and see the sights in their state. Plus, it would save my parents from having to keep traveling to see us all of the time.

We are all going to Disneyworld in March to celebrate my grand daughter's fifth birthday. You can never get enough of Disney and you're never too old to enjoy it.

We are going to Disneyworld in March to celebrate our grand daughter's 5th birthday. You're never too old or too young for Disneyworld.

I would take my kids on a road trip from Ca. to boston,Ma so they could see what a bueatiful country we live in. and to meet my aunts and uncles they have never met.

I regret that I didn't stay at a Best Western when I went to visit my sister in Belleville, Ontario. Didn't sleep well at all. Will definitely stay at the Best Western when we go to see her new baby next month!

I would like to travel to Yellowstone National Park from some outdoor experience and hiking beautiful trails. 2012 also has Norther Lights Tour in Alaska in radar and Maccha Picchu for Inca trails.

I want to visit north and south Florida. Two of my best friends moved to these two spots in the Sunshine State and I would love to go visit. Kentucky, where I live is a good place to vacate in the winter and an absoulte joy to live the rest of the year!

Disney World in 2012 with all my nieces and nephews would be a blast. Hope I can make it happen in 2012.

We plan to travel to Memphis Tn. this year.

Key West here i come!!!!!!

New York City has been on our travel list for years! We are going to make it happen in 2012!

This year will be the celebration of our first retirement year for my brother and I.
To make sure fun is there we will go together with our wives in Florida for the whole month of March.

In 2012, I want to travel as often and far as possible in my own state of California.
I've done most of my traveling out of the country or on the east coast of the US, and I realized after a few California road trips this year, that I need to explore every nook and cranny of my own home spectacular state!.

There's a place called Kalispell, that's where I want go, to get away from it all....and smile and laugh with my brothers, Pete and Patrick; Pete hooked me up with Best Western membership (Hi, Pete :)..if you are reading this, I promise to visit this year.

I WOULD LIKE TO REPEAT A FALL DRIVING TRIP I TOOK 15 YEARS AGO WITH MY NOW DECEASED MOTHER. WE TOOK OFF ON A WHIM AND MADE A LOOP THRU OHIO,NEW YORK,VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, MAINE, DOWN THE EASTERN SEACOAST STATES , THEN BACK TO OHIO THRU PENSYLVANIA. WE LAUGHED, SHARED SECRETS AND BECAME BEST FRIENDS ON THAT TRIP. THIS TIME I WANT TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER.

My goal for 2012 is to visit Greece, visualize and prepare the whole trip and then to enjoy the Journey.

I'd lilke to travel to Costa Rica to visit a friend of mine that's retired down there.

Daytona Beach, FL, or Las Vegas for a Nascar Race.

I've got two 2012 travel resolutions:

1. Get the family back to Disneyland... and the family (me, my wife, my 10 yr old son & my 6 yr old son) are all so "on board" that we're chipping in part of our allowances in order to finance the trip.

2. See Niagara Falls - which, barring some life weirdness, will happen. My trip is already booked.

I traveled quite a bit last year, and I'm hoping to make it back to California and see whatever little get aways I can do w/my girlfriends.

Daytona Beach, FL or Las Vegas, NV for a Nascar Race

i traveled some last year. I would love to go back to Californa and hopefully some small weekend trips with girlfriends.

I traveled some last year. I would love to go back to California and do more weekend getaways with my friends.

I am 43 yrs old. I have never been on a plane, a big boat or ship, subway, taxi or train. I have lived in OH all of my life. I have only been to TN to visit family, MI for a car show and WV for camping. I would love to go to Disney World.

I would like to travel to Amarillo Texas to visit a friend this year if at all possible.

Vancouver BC and Alaska. I'm so excited and happy.

Would love to travel through the New England states in the fall. I've heard the colour changes on the trees are spectacular.

I would like to see my family take a trip together this year while we stil have time to do things together. My brother died two years ago, and life is short. We would like to travel to the west coast somewhere. Maybe Alaska.

I regreat that I did not plan far enough ahead to take the train across the country instead of flying.

We would like to take our kids to Disneyland to enjoy the Christmas season and stay at the Best Western Park Place across the street. The gift card would sure help us get there!

I regret not being able to go to Scotland. I was planning on it and ended up staying in London longer. This year, I am planning on going in November.

My wife and I have started taking this short trips, every 4-6 weeks, meant to be like mini honeymoons, will be looking for places away fromthe big cities where we can enjoy outdoor activities too.

I finally retired after 35 years in nursing. My husband and I are going to take my mom, my kids and my grandkids to Naples Fla. And guess where we're staying? Best Western Inn and Suites. It's awesome!

Looking forward to our journey out to Portland Oregon at the end of June. I hear that it is a favorite spot of many L. A. actors/actresses.

I will be traveling to Toronto this year.

Our family did not make it to Disneyland in 2011 but are hoping to go this year 2012!!! :) How convenient there is a Best Western right across the street!!!

As a family we want to travel from bc to ab Canada. We want to go to the Calgary zoo, hoodoos and drumheller. Road trip! 1 week in aug 2012!

Family road trip Aug 2012 from BC to AB. hot springs, zoo, drumheller and other sites on the way! Should be interesting with 4 kids!

I would love to go to Hawaii this year.

This year, I would like to travel to more locations along the California Coastline.

Since I don't get to travel at all I would love to go to Hawaii

Regrets? Well, regret is a wasted emotion, however I would have liked to have travelled more in Canada and the US last year, so am vowing to do a bit more of it in 2012, got a few trips in the planning stage now and Best Western will be a part of the trips.

I took a trip to Mexico a few years back and had so much fun that I knew I would want to go again. So it seems like I have been trying to plan another beach vacation but that I only get as far as looking up fun places to go and dreaming about them! I'd love to actually go on a vacation instead of just dreaming about one! Taking time out of our busy work schedules and demanding home schedules only gets harder as time goes on...so there really is no time like the present!

I would love to go anywhere with my family, but we would like to visit Washington D.C. and see all the sites of our beautiful capital.

I would love to go (with my husband) to visit relatives in England, South Africa, and New Zealand...long list! But we will jump at the chance to get to see them. For our wish list this year, we will go wherever our niece wishes to get married!

I would love to visit Colorado.

I didn't get to do any travelling in 2011. I would like to go to Sweden.

I would love to go back to New York City. Every time I'm there, there's always something I wanted to do that I just didn't have time for, and it's such an amazing city.

I regret not getting out to the west coast last year.

I regret not getting out to the west coast last year.

Will soon be visiting Lake Havasu, AZ. Have always wanted to see it!

I regret not getting out to the west coast last year.

I regret not getting out to the west coast last year.

We really want to go to Hawaii. We had the chance to go to Oahu last year, but family issues interfered.

Regret not going to the Grand Canyon last year when in Arizona. Would love
to visit again and see it.

For 2012, we're planning a long southern trip to include the Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, Padre Island, and Western Florida. We'll be taking advantage of the pet-friendly Best Westerns along the way, because we can't leave our best friends behind.

I would love to win a Best Western travel card so that I can visit my brother in Minneapolis. I am trying to arrange a family reunion with my daughter and grandchildren visiting my brother and his wife and their grandchildren. A nice bonus is that they live near Mall of America for lots of shopping. Good times !

2012 is an exciting year as it is our 30th wedding anniversary. It falls on 9/11/12 so I would LOVE to be able to take a trip back to the first place we went on a trip together before we were married...San Francisco and Carmel, CA! Praying this can happen and this gift card would help! Thanks!

I would LOVE to able to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this year on 9/11/12 in the first place we took a trip together, San Francisco and Carmel, CA!
Praying this can happen! Thanks!

Last summer we flew a small plane into Bismark, ND, only to discover there were no hotel rooms available anywhere in the area. We had to sleep in a pilots lounge at the airport. The one saving grace was that a stranger took us to a Best Western (fully booked of course) and dropped us off so we could have a really nice dinner. Obvious moral of the story: Book Ahead!

I'm hoping to spend our first wedding anniversary in Ontario, Canada!

A lot of people won't believe this but we are making the ultimate sacrifice and going to Toronto with friends. He is a die hard Leaf fan. We have great seats for a game in February. Can't wait. Hope I can get to the Bata factory store. I wasn't aware of it till I saw it on this site. Thanks.

My son, who is 37 was born in Colorado Springs, Co. He has never been back to his birthplace since he was born. We had planned to return this last year but because of money restraints were unable to. His so Alex was born in October and my son wants to return to his birthplace now.

My goals for 2012 are to see a show at the Gorge and to run a half marathon in Maine!

I booked a trip to Greece last fall. I have wanted to go for twenty+ years. The week before I was to depart, I got in an auto accident-not my fault, and due to my injuries,I had to cancel. Fortunately, I had travel insurance, but I won't be able to go until next spring. So I hope to go to Greece this year.
There fore, I have a travel regret from 2011, and a travel aspiration for 2012

i have been wanting to go to either mexico or hawaii. Especially now that the temperature is dipping down to -35.

I took a trip to Paris and planned on going over to England to Visit Coronation St.
I love that show and always swore I would have a drink in the pub:)
England is the place I would love to be! Any Best westerns there?

In 2012 my husband and I are planning a long summer vacation through out the eastern part of the United States. We have not been able to travel after his military retirement in 1989. I have now retired and plan to visit the colonial states and visit past friends that he has not seen from the US ARMY. We will be staying at BEST WESTERN HOTELS as we like the summer promotions. Which will help us in future stays at Best Western's.

Disneyland?! Yosemite?! Yellowstone?! Would love to see my beloved big brother who is very ill in Richmond, Virginia

We are travelling to Cuba in February and to Vegas in September.

We are travelling to Cuba in February and Vegas in September.

I booked flights for October, 2011 to Germany, to visit my new grandson, son and daughter-in-law, then on to India to participate in my yearly polio immunization and mop up for Rotary International. India entry visa application requires I send my passport with the necessary application documents to Toronto. UPS lost my passport. As a result, I missed my flights. Cancelled flights incurring a cancellation penalty but much worse missed a visit with my new grandson and missed the immunization project. Made the same plans for January. Fell in December and severely cracked my tailbone. Difficult to sit for a prolonged period. Cancelled again. I am determined this trip shall happen. I plan to try again for October 2012. By then I hope all will be well. If my karma is slightly askew, hopefully it will have righted by then.

We love to travel by car and this summer are planning a trip driving from Gilbert, AZ to Prince Rupert, Canada hoping the car ferry to Juneanu, Ak for 3 days and then getting off in Haines, AK. Driving from Haines, AK to Anchorage. Our return trip will be from Anchorage back to Gilbert, AZ via Canada - Baniff.

Traveling from AZ to Anchorage, Alaska and returning to AZ this summer.

I would travle to the Grand Canyon with my kids, that is where they want to go!

My husband has COPD and we really haven't gone far. Went to Hampton Beach last summer and he couldn't even walk on the beach. Would like to go to Nashville, TN as he loves country music. We could drive there and take a transport wheelchair with us. Our stays at Best Western have always been THE BEST! Great accomodations, food and housekeeping.

Next summer, to take my young son on the Sterns, KY Train ride thru the restored "coal town" (in the mountains in Eastern KY). We'll stay at the BW in Somerset, KY.

I didn't get to go to Europe last year and am hoping to go this year.

We arrived in New York via cruise ship and only had time to stay for a day and a half -- would love to go back for a week or two -- what a wonderful city!

I went to some amazing places in 2011 (like Hawaii) but for 2012 I wish to go to London in England to really one of my biggest dreams! I really hope to go to Europe this year like in France, Spain, Germany, Italy... I will go back to Boston and sleep at the New Englander Best Western in Woburn, near Boston! This is the best hotel my boyfiend and I have been in this area and the people who work there are really nice!

My resolution for 2012 is to take many more mini vacations with my husband via our motorcycle in around western US. We want to document these travels through photography and journalling to follow as recommendations or enjoy.

I would like to go to Cuenca Equador! Dont know what for! :) Who cares. Road Trip. Check it out. I may want to stay there.

We would love to get to Australia to visit our son.

We would love to get to visit our son in Australia

Hawaii is my dream travel spot...Hope to go in 2012.

Giggle!!! If I were to have a 'single' regret...it would be that WAMMS & I did not stay longer at the BESTERN WESTERN sites which housed Us during Our WAMMS Across AMERICA adventures in 2011. Please KNOW that I send along My sincere note of GRATITUDE for the receptivity to 'WALK a MILE in MY SHOES~~~on the Path to PEACE!!!'...for Your Hospitality...& for Your SERVICE, too. Blessings of PEACE...as I anticipate future activity in 2012.

this spring my wife and i will be traveling to boston to see our son who graduated from M.I.T. and is a methodologist in boston

I would like to take my boys to see the Grand Canyon!

I guess I don't know if I will be traveling out of state or not, but whenever I got some place and I am going to stay over-- I make sure they have a Best Western in that town, and I always stay at them. I have never found a Best Western that the people weren't warm and friendly.

I may not go out of state in 2012 but I always make sure whenever I travel that there is a Best Western in that town. Never found a Best Western that wasn't friendly.

My family roots go back over two hundred years in the Ticonderoga & Crown Point, NY area. I'd love to meet my other family members still living there and make new friends as well. That would be the ultimate family reunion for 2012 in my opinion. Due to various deaths in my family & job reduction hardships, I wasn't able to make this dream come true in 2011. I definitely want that to happen this year.

I have no regrets for all the places we have driven on this beautiful country. Since we are older and driving is not an option I would love to FLY to Hawii. Thank you.
Doris

Due to my job loss last year, I could not afford to visit the area where my family has had roots for over 200 years. That would be the Lake Champlain area, specifically, Ticonderoga, NY. I would absolutely love to see that part of my family who still live there. That would be the greatest family reunion of my whole life.

I want to stay at the BW in Cusco, Peru when I visit Machu Pichu next month- March.

This year I would like to just go to the airport without any plans and get on the next available flight (within reason) to any desitnation. Then I can cross it off my bucket list!!

really really want to see Iguassu Falls!

would love a cruise in south america in 2012

wow....where i'd like to go in 2012 is south america....ready to tango in buenos aires

we are hoping to get to Hawaii this year. We are are both in our mid fifties but are have only been a couple for a little over a year. We discovered that we both love to travel and were able to do some in 2011 but are hoping to do a lot more in 2012 including Hawaii.

I love to visit the Oregon coast and this year I plan to do so again. Have already made my hotel reservations for 2012. Best Western, of course. :)

My plan is to visit the Oregon coast again...
Love it there. Have already made my reservations. Best Western, of course.

Seattle Im from there and when I go back there is so much to do never g et to finish fun in seattle

I would love to go back to New Orleans

My regret was not enough enough rooms booked off that one night in Vancouver, the night we said goodbye to my grandmother.

My regret has been not getting back to Kauai since 2007. Maybe in 2012?

Although we travel a lot, my son has not seen much of Canada so our plan is to travel either to B C or to Nova Scotia.

2012 is the year I want to see the Southeast. I've been neglecting this region too long. I made it to the Florida Panhandle in Dec 2011. The Best Western in Fort Walton Beach is a great place to stay. I'm looking at Best Westerns in St. Augustine to stay in this March.

In August of 2011 my family (my husband, myself, and three children) spent three weeks travelling through the Kootenays and the Okanagan in British Columbia.(The Best Western Kelowna is our newest Standard of Excellence!) If we had enough time and money, we would have gone on to Vancouver and over to Vancouver Island to visit family. Maybe next trip....

After many years of wishing we are planning a trip to France... in May ... can't wait just checking the Best Western locations and thank goodness there are some... nice to be able to count on something when you are travelling...

It would mean the world to me if I could go to San Francisco,CA. I worked very hard to send my oldest daughter to college this year and my youngest is in high school. This would be great trip for my hard work and rewarding their hard work. Being a single parent is a struggle,but getting this trip would be wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not been out of the state in so many years I can't even count. 12, at least, but I'm sure more like 13 or 14+. Even that was just to go to a nearby state long enough to pick a friend up at the airport, grab some lunch, and head back home. In the last 18 years, I have spent 2 nights in a hotel. Once, when I went out of town but was still in state, and once when some friends and I had a "girl's night out" and a few of us stayed in a hotel room.

I want to do some traveling- I think about it all the time! And I am always excited for a chance to stay in a hotel because I do it so very rarely. So whether it would be to stay right here and have another "fancy" night or weekend with friends, or if it would be to travel out of town or out of state to see a band or to visit my sister who I haven't seen in 10 years or so, it would be a special event to me!

My travel regret is I had planned to go to Europe with my friend for six weeks at the start of the year, but decided not to go as I was able to start a new job the same time. I'm glad to have a job, but it sure makes it tough to get away, even though it is in the travel industry :(

Up until I turned 70, I was in Europe at least once a year. Now I am 73 and am seeing more of the USA. New York City is next on my Bucket List.

My husband and I planned to travel across Canada from Alberta to Nova Scotia on our motorcycle in a couple of years. Due to some health concerns my husband has I decided the sooner the better. So for his early retirement this summer and our 35th wedding anniversary I am going to surprise him and tell him we are going this summer. If you know who we are please don't let the cat out of the bag just yet. Thanks.

Our hotel near the airport advertised they had shuttle service, but it was really an old cadillac. When another couple tried to get in with us, the driver told me to sit on my husband's lap. When that wasn't bad enough, the driver then loaded their luggage in the trunk, then closed the trunk, but the keys were dropped inside! Of course, there were no extra keys, and no way to open the trunk or get inside it. We missed our flight, and got the worst seats on the next flight where it was real loud. At least we made it to our destination, and we eventually got a refund for our room, after writing two letters to the hotel (we stayed there just so we wouldn't miss our flight)!

I and my two daughters took a Spiritual Journey to France and Italy last October. We visited and photographed so many beautiful churches and cathedrals and basilicas. One of my regrets was that i was so underdressed that I couldn't really enjoy the outdoors (it was pretty chilly in France and only slightly warmer in Italy). I didn't anticipate all the hills and walking so I missed a few of the sites (especially in Paris) that i really wanted to visit, since my legs just couldn't make it.
One more thing--next time i will purchase Euros before i leave the US. I had a hard time with my credit card and had to borrow some Euros from my new friends until my ATM card worked!! I want to go back to my favorite place, Siena, Italy. Very Happy memories! However, I doubt that they have a BW there!!!

I had an enjoyable vacation last year. We went to Pigeon Forge TN and we visited Dollywood once again. This has been our destination for the last few years and it is beautiful country, I'm not complaining. But I think I'm ready for something different. Perhaps the beach, Branson, I really don't know...I love just traveling (road trips) and seeing parts of the country that I've never seen before. Colorado is beautiful...Perhaps this year will be different (in a good way) and longer (we usually take two or three mini vacations, you pack, you go, you stay for a couple of days, return home and unpack)!

My travel regret? After saving $10 000.00, I micro-planned an excursion through Italy and Greece for 2011. However, those countries were going through turmoil and we decided to stay in canada. I still hope to use the plan maybe in 2012.

My wife and our two Jack Russells, Annie and Teddy, are heading to Georgia for February. We will be staying at Best Westerns along the way that are pet friendly.

My travel regret of 2011 was not doing an all-inclusive vacation

My daughter and myself just spent a week staying at the Best Western Stovall hotel in Anaheim. We had such a great time, room was awsome and soooo clean, staff was great and took care of us quite nicely. But we are looking at taking a trip to somewhere a bit hotter in November 2012....somewhere like Mexico perhaps.....a 250 dollar gift card would sure help us with our plans.....Thanks Best Western for making my last 3 holidays great ones!!

My travel resolution for this year is to go to at least 2 European countires. Now that I'm getting a new camera, I want to take advantage and take many more scenic pictures!

We are looking forward to trying the beaches of Waikiki with our two little boys in June. Best Western Coconut is right near the beach!

I am in Mexico so would like to travel up the Bahai Peninsula

to always have a trip planned so we have something to look forward to!

to always have a trip planned so you have something to look forward to!

Didn't have time to travel in 11.. Hope to travel a bit in 12..

always have a trip planned for the future so you have something to look foward to!

My 2011 regret is that during the mini-vacation my husband and I took in Colorado Springs, we didn't stay at a Best Western. We were blinded by the "good deal" we got through DoubleTree by Hilton and didn't get the great service we would have gotten through Best Western! For 2012, we are cruising to the Bahamas late in the year and leaving from Miami so are planning on taking some extra days and explore Miami beforehand.

I would be very happy to stay anywhere there is a Best Western. had the opportunity to stay in a couple Best Westerns and they have more than met our expectations. Thank you Best Western.

I would like to travel to Seattle and then Oregon and then southern California with my best friend (human) and my other best friend (my precious little dog). I know I can always find a pet friendly Best Western and that would be where we would stay.

My travel destination for 2012 will be Boston, Massachussets. My family and I want to see the views and know the history. I hear there is a lot to do and see. I would love to stay at the Best Western Plus Hotel Tria.

Last July 12, 13, & 14th,2011, I joined Best Western, stayed 3 nights, plus had 2 rooms = 8, then stayed January 9, 10, 11, 12, 2012 = 4 nights. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY "SPEND 3 NIGHS AND GIVE 1 FREE" REWARDS YET! Please explain to me WHY I have not received my FREE NIGHTS? I received my card, try to use it and have not received any FREE NIGHTS as of this date. Check my records and please advise what the problem is and answer @ scmitzi22@yahoo.com. Thank You......

Had a vacation planned to Hawaii but had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, maybe this year the trip to the Islands in the Pacific will become a reality. Also, was working in Montana and wanted to venture over to South Dakota, namely Mt. Rushmore, you know to see the Stone Mason, Our first President of The United States of America, but due to time constraints & management demands, it was impossible....maybe this will be the year of the Rock Visit.

I regret that I didn't go to Asia in 2011. In 2012 I will go to Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam!

Our goal this year is to take two week long vacations! I miss that so I hope this is the year. We have the first one planned already for Yellowstone. I would like to just get on the motorcycle and ride away for a week! Where ever we end us is fine! Just get away and relax.

We live in Georgia and our son son is playing baseball in Canada this summer. We plan on driving up to see him and are looking for Best Westerns to stay at along the way. Wish us luck!!

My travel regret is that we didn't get to the ocean. Hopefully this year we can go to the ocean for a week. I know out child would love it!

I want to go to Machu Pichu and stay at the Cusco BW while visiting there in March.

I want to visit family in Iowa.
I have 3 Grandchildren there that I have only seen once.
I really miss my son too!
Mickey

My one regret last year in my travels was that I signed up to be a Best Western member too late. I took a road trip to Astoria from Eugene and did not sign up until after I got home. As a result, I didn't get my free night until my travels were over. I would have loved to stay at a Best Western in Astoria longer than I did.

My hope/resolution for the new year is to travel more, earn more points and use Best Western whenever I can. I plan to take a trip to the coast and to Seattle at least once this year!

I'm hoping to be able to go somewhere nice with my wife for our 25th wedding anniversary.

2011 was a hectic year filled with unexpected events for my family. I hope 2012 will be better and that we'll have a chance to take a relaxing vacation somewhere.

I have already traveled to the Bahamas this year and am really hoping to go to South Africa in the fall.

I'm crossing my fingers for a chance to go to South Africa in 2012!

Last October, my husband and I flew from Phoenix to Orlando to take a Royal Caribbean cruise out of Port Canaveral. I had made all the travel plans, and we were supposed to be celebrating both our 25th Wedding Anniversary and his 50th birthday, during the week of my birthday. We rented a car, and drove to the Port. Unbeknowest to me, (my fault, tho) his passport was expired. Although we spent over 4 hours pleading with the authorities there, they refused to allow us on the ship. And we were out over $800.00. (we were refunded only our taxes). Other people were in the same position, but we were the only ones unable to board; you see he was born in Illinois, and it was Columbus Day...a state holiday when the birth records offices are closed. Our trip was ruined, despite my husband's assurance that it was just wonderful to be alone with me. We ended up staying in a cheap hotel, with very little money to spend, and to add insult to injury; the cable was out in the hotel so he couldn't even watch his beloved Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. I need a do-over, to take my wonderful husband on a cruise...but next time, I'll make sure all of our paperwork is in order!!

In 2012 I'm retiring and we are heading off to Italy and the French Riveira for 3 weeks .

In 2012 I will travel to DC to see the Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial on my way to my family reunion in Virginia, then onward to Atlanta to see more family and friends!

I traveled some last year. I am hoping to get back to California this year and hopefully some girl weekend time.

i went to Arizona in 2011 but it wasn't enjoyable. my son is a Marine stationed in Yuma, AZ, i would love to go back as a new trip for soul purpose of seeing him and enjoying the time we share.

I would go to Ohio and visit with my Grandchildern.

I want to travel to Maine.

Looking back on 2011 I regret that my family was not able to go to visit my husband's mom and dad in Northern Wisconsin. My children love spending time at Grandma and Grandpa's house on the lake, but because of finances, we just couldn't do the summer trip to the midwest. We did get to see them in the fall when they headed out east with some of their friends, so for that I am glad. When my in-laws returned home it was discovered that my father-in-law has kidney cancer. He has come through his surgery well and will be starting more treatment soon. My hope and desire for 2012 is that my father in law will get well and that my children will be able to spend another summer at the lake with their Grandpa.

I would like to go to Pennsylvania this year to see family. We were supposed to go last year and plans fell through.

In 2011, I would love to have visited the Bahamas. Needless to say, there were obstacles that interferred, but hopefully this will become a reality.

I regret not going to Europe last year when I could have stayed at Best Western in Rome, Italy......

We visited Washington, DC in October, 2011 and left a day early to miss the October Nor'easter approaching. We want to return to see some of the sites we missed We also know now how to navigate the wonderful Metro system and learned not to get off at Pentagon stop when we want Pentagon Mall.

Rapid City,SD; For the Biker rally in Sturgis (August ) 2012. If I need say more,you wouldn"t understand

My daughter's are having a double wedding in Pawley's Island, SC in April. I am not submitting for myself or hubby but for the girls and their grooms. Would love to win them a special honeymoon night in the closest Best Western to Pawley's to spoil them!

My travel regret of 2011 was a trip to LA. I stayed in an overpriced (unnamed hotel) that had mold growing in the bathroom and no breakfast restaurant. This year I am planning a fun summer trip with the family to the Smokey Mountains.

I want my daughter and her family to stay at the Best Western by Weeki Wachee State park. Her and her hubby only stayed with me a day for my birthday. Although I live nearby Weeki Wachee I see this Best Western location as best for them while they visit the park..

hope to go to germany this year, if not we'll travel through canada ;-)

I want to travel to New Zealand; if I can't, I will crawl under my bed and hide.

I missed visiting my son in Charleston, SC in 2011. I would love to travel there in 2012.

Fort Myers beach! Can't wait :)

Enjoy traveling.

Would like to enjoy a vacation this year at the beach.

Road trip to visit family and friends from the military in Georgia, and Florida!!!!!

My 2012 resolution is to explore more of the continental United States. Places that pique my interest include Savanah, Georgia (old world charm); Datona Beach, Florida (sea turtles); Biloxi, Mississippi (bayous), Louisville, Kentucky (horse derby), Black Hills of South Dakota (Mount Rushmore, etc). So many places, so little time :)

I would like to travel this year to Georgia and Florida to visit with military friends and family.

travel? what's that? with the price of gas, added to the cost of living, who can afford to travel. would love to get in the car and stop at the next destination that catches our eye!

I would have liked to visit Vegas or NYC, hopefully in 2012 I can.

In 2012 I would love to visit the Canadian Rockies. I grew up with the Rockies as a view from our living room window and from this, they have been apart of my ideal landscape. I would love to take my family and breathe the fresh mountain air again.

I didn't get to go to Vegas in 2010 and 2011 so I hope ot go in 2012!

We would like to go to California in 2012 as we have never been there.We have stayed in Best-Western before and they are a super hotel chain.Very nice rooms and super service.Would be nice to get a $250.00 Hotel credit. Sure would cut the expences.

Thank You

My husband, Bob and I will be flying to Fort Lauderdale in Feb. After visiting Fort Lauderale for two days, we will be boarding a cruise ship to cruise the Carribean for twenty days. We are very excited.

I should have reserved a room at the Best Western, but forgot this very important bfeature & ended out having to sleep on a bench at an airport instead. Sure, this was many years ago, but I still regret it as if it were this very day!

I will travel to Enid, Oklahoma this fall to attend my son's graduation from Air Force pilot training at Vance AFB. Do you have an extra-special Best Western in Enid for this momentous occasion?

I truly regret not going ANYWHERE in 2011..That's my biggest regret :( But 2012 is for traveling!!!!!

My Travel Resolution for 2012 is to travel to every location where my up and coming professional performer (dancer/singer/actor) daughter gets a performing 'gig'! So far, that's near Chicago, IL and Phoenix, AZ for 2012! Last year we traveled to Mill Hall, PA and Ocean City, NJ for her shows. We try and add some time to our travels and explore the surrounding areas, seeing as many attractions and sights as possible. For instance, we saw an old, abandoned coal mine and also enjoyed the Boardwalk of Ocean City as well as a day's stint in Atlantic City, 'just up the road'! Its almost like throwing a dart at a map; we never know where she - and we - will end up next!

I want to visit China and the Great Wall

I didn't get to go see my daughter and granddaughter in New Jersey. I'm hoping to get to see them this year. It's been a long time.

I'd like to take some time off & take a family trip to New York. My Wife is from a tiny rural town & I would love to be able to see her explore more.

My regret is that I did not travel. I intend to go somewhere this year and a $250 BW travel card sure would help!

My 2011 travel regret was a trip to Tacoma Washington. My friends and I planned a great evening of dinner, comedy and fun back at our hotel afterwards. It would have been a great time, except when we arrived at the hotel, my girlfriend was struck by the elevator door. After it hit her during her entry to the elevator, it trapped her at the opening, not allowing her to move and bruising her arm. I had to forcibly push the doors open and release her. The really disappointing part is, four months later the management will not follow through with their promises, has not credited anything on my credit card, and for months will not return any of my numerous phone calls. I have even shown up to talk to them about this and at 2pm on a Friday, there was no management available. Sadly, the corporation that owns this hotel will not do anything either, stating that each hotel is managed independently.
I truly regret staying at The Tacoma Dome Best Western and don't suggest any stay there until management is replaced! In 2012 I look forward to traveling to many wonderful cities in 2012, I will just avoid this hotel and question the corporate position on customer service.

Regretfully,
Glenn Richardson

This year I am promising to take time off work to take at least 1 trip. I didn't do it last year and really feel the need to get away and regroup.

We are overjoyed with our first ever family trip that requires a flight over 1 hour. We are taking our 6 year old daughter to Disneyland! It will be the first time for all of us and we're not entirely sure who's more excited. Every morning, we wake up and count the days down on the calendar!

I prefer anyplace in Hawaii.

We are ready to hit the road this year. Hope to travel the Oregon coast . A Best Western Gift Card would help make that a reality.

Mt. Rushmore is so intriguing. From all the photos that I have seen, it appears to be a great place to visit. I would love to stay in a Best Western near the huge mountain of Presidents. Last year was too hectic for me to travel to Mt. Rushmore. This year would be a great time to catch the view.

Would love to go to Orlando Florida this year, might make it a mini family reunion

I didn't get to go to Italy this year.....that's the spot i really want to go next

Orlando this year, mini family reunion,

Would like to go to Amsterdam and London for my big Birthday!

I am a Guest Services Travel Concierge Agent at the Best Western Plus Regency Inn & Conference Centre located in the beautiful Fraser Valley of British Columbia Canada. This year we are planning a visit to the Land of OZ. My daughter is currently living just outside of Brisbane and I'm working very hard at enroling as many BW guests as I can in the Best Western Rewards program so that I can earn my incentive points and this will then cover our accommodation costs for our Australia trip.

Would love to see Alaska-missed Maine due to hurricanes of 2011

would love to go to Orlando, plus Montreal when it's warmer

Family - it's all about getting together! That's my goal for 2012

i want to travel out west - yellowstone, glacier, yosemite - trying to fullfill my bucket list

Amsterdam, here we come in 2012!

I am determined to use my passport before it expires! I'd love to travel to Italy this year!

Want to visit my daughter in Hawaii this year

Want to visit my daughter in hawaii this year

Last year my son and I went to California but were unable to squeeze Disneyland into our itinerary. We managed to visit Los Angeles and the surrounding areas but an unfortunate incident caused us to change our plans and shorten our week-long vacation to a four-day trip, forcing us to drop Disneyland from our list of places to visit. We are going to Cali again this year for a week and this time WILL make Disneyland a must-see destinatiion. We will be staying at a Best Western also!!!
