The Oregon coast – where otherworldly sea-stacks rise from the misty ocean and brightly colored kites dance in the wind – is the perfect place. Nestled between Newport and Lincoln City, Gleneden Beach gives you easy access to many delights. Visit the working harbor in Newport, or see the ocean denizens up-close at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. In the evenings, relax at the resort and fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves.

Once a quiet fishing town, Puerto Vallarta has fast become a world-class resort destination. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Conchas Chinas offers the best of both worlds.

But in town, just a 10-minute drive away, the shops, nightclubs, and restaurants are at hand to take in the local color. The one- and two-bedroom suites are tastefully furnished, with full kitchens and private balconies.

Considered the northern gateway to the great Ozark Mountains, Lake of the Ozarks boasts dramatic bluffs, and a meandering shoreline of more than 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers).

Lake of the Ozarks is an ideal vacation spot.
