A vacation means something different to everyone. To some it means a solo trip spending time doing exactly what they want when they want. To others, it means a romantic vacation with their significant others. Perhaps to you, it means a trip with your kids, extended relatives or just your girl or guy friends. Whatever a vacation looks like to you, be sure to add these eight destinations to your bucket list.
1. Bahamas
If nothing gets you more excited than lying on a beach enjoying the tropical weather, you will love a trip to the Bahamas.

2. Disney World
Do not think that you will only enjoy this destination if you have kids. While there is something special about seeing your children enjoy this magical place, this theme park is built for kids and adults alike. Spend your days enjoying the rides, food and entertainment at one of the four theme parks: Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios.
3. Paris
The city of love is a fantastic destination for couples looking for a trip filled with romance. However, this city is also great for solo travelers and groups who enjoy delicious food, fashion and visiting world-famous landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Seine River and the Louvre.
4. Iowa State Fair
