Alaska

The frigid country of Alaska offers gorgeous scenes of pure nature, many of which you could see up close on your vacation. Head off for a week or two, checking out territory hard to find anywhere else in the United States. Why without the kids? Well, they could go, but you're likely to do a lot of walking and hiking. Without them, you can head off without worrying about snacks or naptime.  What places in Alaska work well for adults? The state boasts plenty to see. Dine on fresh seafood for days, and then head out to see the national parks, fjords and glaciers. You could even go whale watching for a morning or afternoon. Caribbean Several adult-only hotels exist within the Caribbean islands, allowing people to chill out on the beach and dine without worrying about fussing or crying. The area hosts bountiful, white beaches where you can relax for the day in chairs. Go snorkeling or surfing in the ocean, or head out on an excursion on dry land. Look for inclusive programs that permit you to pay upfront for drinks and food, so you have it paid for before heading out. Then, you can tag on activities when you arrive. Key West At the very southern tip of Florida is Key West, a city infamous for adult leisure. Visitors enjoy delectable food, clear blue waters and plenty of Florida history. Check out Ernest's Hemingways' home, watch butterflies, take up a ghost tour or learn of the city's famous historical visitors. In addition, the town offers a busy nightlife scene full of shows and beverages.  Vegas Sin City, as it is known, could be more fun without your tiny tribe. Children don't want to sit on the sideline watching their parents' joy, and Vegas has many things that are probably left to a mature crowd. Yes, you could take them to the Grand Canyon, but there is less stress without them--you won't think about holding them back from the edge. Instead, relax and enjoy the scene yourself. Adults can traverse through the town, full of bright lights, casinos and evening entertainment. Take in a burlesque show, race a car on the speedway and plan for some comedy shows that keep you rolling throughout the night.
