Georgia Travel Options

Can you imagine traveling to all of the states in the country? That's totally a traveler's dream come true. Emily Hart of Business Insider has done that, and she describes the experience in a feature for the outlet. In it, she points out the best place to visit in each state. Since she's been all over, Hart would totally know what's good and not-so-good when it comes to domestic travel destinations.

In the feature, Hart says that after visiting all of the different states solo, she's often asked about what fun things there are to do in each state. "Although every state offers countless things to do and see, there are some activities and places that really stand out from the crowd," she notes. Hart adds that, "Whether it's a unique experience, a hidden gem, or a landmark so iconic it's worth braving the crowds for — some destinations just have to be seen to be believed."

If you're wondering where people travel for spring break, according to a 2023 study by AAA, more Americans are actually traveling abroad for spring break today. "A new AAA survey shows more than 40% of U.S. adults with spring break plans are traveling with three generations," they stated in the 2023 study. They also note that beach vacations are the most popular trips for spring breakers, according to AAA’s survey. Also, "Florida is the top domestic destination with its beaches, theme parks and cruise ports," and, "Hawaii is another spring break favorite, with six unique islands and stunning scenery."

So, which travel destination is the best in Michigan? Hart's pick is the lovely Cumberland Island, which she deems as a "lesser-known" spot. "After seeing so much of the incredible beauty that the US has to offer, I still recommend one lesser-known National Park Service site more often than most: Cumberland Island National Seashore," she states. The also says that this area is not only historic but also beautiful, with wild horses, history and beaches. Contact me with your favorite spring travel spot.
