My ideal summer destination would be Muskoka Cottage Country, Ontario, Canada.Spend the day paddleboarding on Muskoka Lake or exploring the Riverwalk and shops of Canada’s waterfall capital, Bracebridge. For an old-school family vacation, head north to Peninsula Lake’s Pow-Wow Point Lodge, a 91-year-old, all-inclusive resort featuring simple summer pleasures like campfires, canoeing, and volleyball. Plan an August visit to catch Algonquin Park’s educational Thursday evening wolf howls starring—weather-permitting—the reclusive, inhabitant, four-pawed chorus.

Hawaii

I would really love to visit Morocco! It has always looked like such a magical place to me.

My ideal summer destination is Sanibel Island! My happiest place in the world! Not only the seashell capital of the world but home to the most beautiful natural beaches. I love collecting seashells also called doing the 'Sanibel Stoop'. There is not a single traffic light or high rise on this small island where everyone seems to slow down and enjoy life more here. When I want to really relax and enjoy nature I head to Sanibel Island to relax on the beach, stroll the beaches for shells, take bike rides on a beach cruiser bicycle along the many bike trails (occasionally find a coconut or two to take home) and take time to stop and smell all the beautiful tropical flowers.

My husband and I have been discussing our summer vacation plans and we decided on a STAYcation! We live in beautiful northern Wisconsin and to us, it's the best place on earth. We've decided to take some time to make some day trips we don't have time for in the usual hustle and bustle of the work week and we can't wait!

by Tess on June 4, 2012
I ideal summer destination is somewhere tropical were I can relax all day!

by Nancy H on June 4, 2012
My dream vacation is on a tropical island... warm, sunny, gentle breezes next to the water.. I love the beach and dream of visiting many places to find my favorite.

by Heather Van Hoof on June 4, 2012
My ideal vacation is our yearly summer vacation to Door County, Wisconsin at Robin's Nest in Fish Creek. It's a resort with 7 cottages and very well maintained and CLEAN! In addition, it's a very scenic area with tons to do. Sailing, fishing, swimming, golfing, tennis, hiking, beautiful sunsets, pick cherries, yummy wines, shopping, good eats, bike trails (the list doesn't stop)...YOU NAME IT! My favorite store "The Blue Dolphin" it's a must check out if you ever go - there's literally something to do for everyone. We leave on the 23rd so if I'm a lucky winner again (;)) it will be perfect timing.

I would love to travel to Qatar to visit my older sister and my nieces. I hear its the best time the visit during the summer months.

by Carissa on June 4, 2012
I would love to be in Alaska or Finland. So quiet and beautiful!

by Kristen on June 4, 2012
My ideal summer destination is Hatteras Island! I love the calm and peace that the Outer Banks provide, I can just imagine my toes in the sand right now! Thanks for a great giveaway (and top-notch products!) and the chance to win!

by Nadine on June 4, 2012
My ideal summer vacation would be to go back to the Dead Sea in Israel. The tremendous concentration of Bromine has a relaxing effect on the nervous system; while Magnesium counteracts skin allergies and clears the bronchial passages. In addition, the hot sulphur springs along the shores of the Dead Sea and the deposits of medicinal mud, provide treatment for a number of ailments, such as psoriasis, arthritis, rheumatism, dermatitis, eczema, neurodermatitis and vitiligo. There are many luxury hotels, clinics and spas, which would make the Dead Sea an ideal summer vacation.

by Donna F. on June 4, 2012
My ideal summer destination is Paris! It's actually my ideal anytime destination! I have big dreams of one day visiting this beautiful city and taking in everything it has to offer!

by Adele on June 4, 2012
My ideal summer destination is Hawaii. The weather is beautiful, the beaches are divine and it looks like the perfect place to relax and enjoy life.

by Kristen on June 5, 2012
My ideal summer destination is the Green Mountains of Vermont, nestled in the woody setting of our new rental, as we start our next adventure.

by April Fordyce on June 5, 2012
I love travel....to anywhere and everywhere, but in my travels, I have found that I enjoy most those relaxing, quiet retreats where there isn't always hustle, bustle and an agenda or itinerary to be kept. With that being said, Moorea, Tahiti is a splendid island of the South Pacific very small, quaint, waterfront huts (and I mean huts) no a/c, no tv, only nature to enjoy. This place has gorgeous beaches, snorkeling, reefs, moutains for hiking, pineapple fields, local culture and is not commercialized and overpopulated. The other place I'd love to visit again for me, first time for my husband, is New Zealand. Another island with lots of natural beauty from beaches to mountains, fabulous friendly people. Ready to pack my bags, now I just need some time off & a generous donor for my travels ;o) Thanks for all the love and fabulous products DE!

Oh man. Key West. The warm sunniness & slow life. lOVE it.

by K L on June 6, 2012
My own backyard! I don't believe you have to go far to find relaxation and escape from the drudgery of daily life and work. With a hammock, a shady tree and good book, I can let go of the to-do list and focus on enjoying a beautiful summer day.

by melissa mc on June 6, 2012
basically, Beach-side anywhere that has white sand, blue water, and a nice breeze.... take me away and ty for the chance! (:

by Doris on June 6, 2012
I would love to fly to Ibiza or Hawaii. Or any other Beach, there's so many beautiful ones across the world to choose from and I've only been to a few so far. For roadtrips I love Arizona, Las Vegas & California.

by sara on June 6, 2012

by Jill H. on June 7, 2012
My ideal summer destination is a tropical island where I can get away from it all. It has been a very rough year so far and I need a break to relax!

by Kathy McCrae on June 7, 2012

My ideal summer destination is to go to Kure Beach NC and spend a week with my daughter and her family.

by Rachel on June 7, 2012
My ideal summer destination is NYC. I live in a rural area surrounded by pretty surroundings, but the town is very quiet, very blah. I'd love to go somewhere where exciting things unfurl at every turn! I'd love to eat Italian Ice in Washington Sq. park.

by Diane Baum on June 8, 2012
My ideal summer destination is Traverse City, MI-only a 4 hour drive from my home. The perfect weekend or longer get away-with a beautiful shoreline, you can walk in to the middle of the lake and midday it's usally only hip high-

by Kimberly on June 8, 2012
My ideal summer vacation is to go back to Florida. Last time we took a trip there, just 1 day into our vacation, my husband fell out of a golf cart and hit his head on the pavement. He craked his skull opened, was in ICU for 4 days, but thankfully made it out okay with no permanent damage. He doesn't remember anything, but I remember everything and ever since, I've been afraid to go back. Some day, when I hope my flashbacks will subside, I would like to go back Florida (to Amelia Island) to enjoy a nice summer vacation with my husband at a condo along the beach, since we never had a chance the first time.

by Lisa S on June 8, 2012
The mountains of North Carolina! Hiking in 75 degrees with amazing views = Zen!

by Vikki M on June 8, 2012
I really want to go to Niagra Falls.

by Mary R on June 9, 2012
My ideal summer destination is Great Guana Cay in the Abacos.

by Donna on June 9, 2012
My ideal vacation involves anywhere far from the city preferably with pine forests with hiking paths & a nice lodge. I used to love camping but my achy joints no longer allow that. One of my dreams is an Alaskan cruise with side trips. Another is southern Utah. I've been to most western national parks & forests but have not yet visited Arches or Bryce Canyon (largely because I'm not crazy about deserts).

by G.Telke on June 10, 2012
I would like to spend a month fly fishing in Montana and Colorado. My kind of vacation!

by Lindsey on June 11, 2012
My ultimate summer destination would be San Francisco. My husband and I went there 6 years ago in July for our honeymoon. Fell in love with the culture, cuisine, and amazing scenery.

by THOMAS RICHARD on June 11, 2012
My ideal destination is any place where they have sporting events to see, friendly locals, and good food.

by Cat on June 12, 2012
My ideal summer destination is anywhere in the Cascade mountains near a COLD alpine lake! There's just nothing like getting all hot, sweaty, and dusty on the trail and then dipping into a cold, clear lake... ahhhh...

by amanda on June 12, 2012
My ideal summer vacation would be a road trip out west. I would stop along the way but my main destinations would be California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Nevada. I use to live out there and it's been about 6-7 years since I've been out that way. I miss the views, the nature, and the people.

by Amanda on June 12, 2012
My ideal Summer destination would be Alaska! I'm not a fan of heat and humidity, and I'd love to see the lush green that is Alaska's summer. I would love to see the wildlife as well as the local area shops and destinations.

by amanda on June 12, 2012
My ideal summer vacation would a road trip out west. I would stop a long the way and the main destinations would be California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and Nevada. I use to live out there and it's been about 6-7 years, WAYYY TOO LONG!

by Melissa on June 12, 2012
i'd love to travel to paris with friends.

by Maria Bowman on June 12, 2012
My ideal summer destination would be a trip to a remote beach with hiking and biking closeby and amazing, fresh food to eat under umbrellas with beers. Maybe somewhere underdeveloped in Ecuador, Colombia, Hawaii, or Mexico!
