When I think about summer vacations, I automatically think of a tropical island or somewhere in South America. I was very surprised that America's top hat, Canada, was number two on the list of places Americans wanted to travel to this summer. Also, people must have forgotten about the whole Natalee Holloway thing with Aruba being ranked number eight.

Most Popular Summer Travel Destinations For States Around Louisiana:

  • Alabama: Dominican Republic
  • Arkansas: Jamaica
  • Mississippi: Jamaica
  • Oklahoma: Mexico
  • Texas: Germany

Germany is such a strange choice to me. I wonder what the appeal of traveling there in the summer is? The other states make more sense with countries with beaches and never-ending pina coladas.
