What is the best vacation you've ever gone on?

I have had quite a few that I would label as one of the best. I find that the ones that are spur of the moment are the most memorable. For instance a number of years back I spent every spare waking moment building a front porch, decks, a ramp connecting the decks and hand rails where needed. When I finished I told my wife I was going to Maine for the weekend to recoup and she was welcome to come along. After work on Friday we drove 8 hours straight, from NY to Maine and got there about midnight. It turned out it was Founders day weekend and there weren’t any rooms available anywhere. I was exhausted and my wife and I accepted that we might be spending the night in the back of the pickup, when we stopped at one last motel and there was one room left and some one was arguing with the manager that they needed two more cots in the room before they would take it. The manager kept saying there weren’t any more cots left. After seeing that their discussion wasn’t going anywhere I put my credit card on the counter and said ‘SOLD’. We got the room and the next day we traveled a little further to Bath, Maine where it seemed magical with all of the tourists window shopping, and us eating lobster as many time a day as we could manage. We wound up spending a few more days at a bed and breakfast and site seeing. It is a different world in Maine, stress free everyone was extremely pleasant. We still talk about the wonderful time we had and my wife is onboard with me that the unplanned getaways are usually the most memorable.
