Default Best Ever destination visited in your own airplane

No more that two destinations (ok three) and no long justifications please. This is just raw data gathering. I am thinking of compiling something in Excel that reflects whatever comes out of this.

Mackinac Island, Michigan
Key West, Florida

We have made several trips and been in all 48 states. It's hard to single out destinations from trips.... but Scott and Deb vote for:

# 1 St. Augustine, FL (stay at the Bayfront Westcott House Inn and eat at O'steen's)

# 2 Grand Turk, BVI

# 3 Rangeley, ME (stay at the Pleasant Street Inn, Rob is a great breakfast chef!)

The experience:
Lunch flight destination in my RV6 - I was Number One for landing and an actual P51 "Red tail" Mustang was Number Two. We both taxied to the same ramp. It felt like WWII. Coolest ever!
