Is there such a thing we wondered? Check out these 15 trips we found in an article in Travel+Leisure (Nov 09) that, according to them, have the potential to "transform travelers and destinations alike."
Take a look at a few of these volunteer and odyssey adventures and see if any of them could change your life. Then vote in our poll as to which vacation you think might cause you to see the world in a whole new way. life-changing vacations
We took honeymoons off the list for just this one poll because everyone has fun on their honeymoon and it takes the pressure off of someone who may have had a better experience at another vacation destination. No matter, we just want to know in general where you had your best overall vacation experience.
And feel free to tell us why!

Not like the Arthur Frommer's of the world would have you believe.
I support sensible and non-hysterical interpretations of the 2nd amendment as it applies to today's standards by our lawmakers and wish the NRA would stop whining when an automatic weapon is banned, then using it as a blanket accusation against NRA opponents, those "commie-pinko, patriotically challenged gun control liberals."
I do not hunt but I have friends who do and I support that right.
I believe in having some sort of firearm for personal protection – but reject the idea that it should be an automatic weapon, (I became quite familiar with them as a marine in Vietnam and believe me you do not want to go there!).
I also believe only the police should be in possession of weapons in public places, handguns, assault weapons, etc. Didn't I just read about some homeowner getting shot by the police because he was brandishing a gun while protecting his home against an intruder?
My jury is still out on concealed weapons for protection of couriers, precious gem agents, etc, but anyone sporting a gun better be trained and ready to use it – without hesitation. It's a bitch getting shot with your own gun.
Come to Arizona folks, everything is fine here, beautiful scenery, fun activities, golf, fabulous spas and resorts, world-class restaurants, and friendly, genuine, southwestern hospitality. In the 25 years I have lived here no guns of any kind have been visible in bars and I have NEVER seen anyone walking around with an assault weapon. It was all a publicity stunt, orchestrated by someone to discredit the Obama Administration. Nice try but no sale!
Time for the Poll:

Everyone talks about that one fabulous vacation they took where everything just fell into place, the travel, the food, the locals, the beaches, the nightlife, you name it.
A perfect vacation is the goal of every traveler but seasoned travelers know that Mr. Murphy lurks on every corner, they expect the unexpected and are even sometimes eager to deal with adversity, just to see how it gets handled.
Most people I know want things to go smoothly, all the time, on every trip but that might be a bit unrealistic. And that begs the question; where will you travel to where you think you will get the best experience, what destination and why.
How will you spend that precious week, two weeks or if you are lucky, even more, while away from the grind of work and your career? Our readers want to know your opinion.
