And the world's #1 vacation spot is...

I love my city. I think it would be fair to say that I am one of Durham's biggest fans. But as a travel destination? #35 NYT pick and #1 reader pick?! In the WORLD!?! I suspect fraud. But even if Durham can be considered one of the top vacation spots, that's kind of depressing.

If you wanted to travel to Durham, I wouldn't really know what to tell you to do that you couldn't do other places. I have a list of my favorite spots in and around town, but again, they are not unique enough that I would advise anyone to book a flight.

As a place to live, though, definitely consider Durham.

For clues as to why the NYT is so high on Durham, check out my friend Kevin's synopsis.

In other travel news, in a couple of weeks I will be traveling to Southern Florida for a wedding. After the wedding I plan to take the first solo vacation of my life, and I have never been so excited about a trip. I will be touring Miami and then camping deep within the Everglades. If, for some reason, you are curious to see where I will be going, you can check out my map.
