As you start planning for where you’re going in 2016, let’s take a look back at where you’ve been with Getaways in 2015. From the sunny beaches of the Dominican Republic to the bright lights of Manhattan, these were our customers’ top 10 destinations of last year in the US and abroad.
Our Top 5 US Destinations

With hotel prices topping out at $99, it’s no wonder you couldn’t escape the lure of Sin City. Aside from its usual glitz, Vegas experienced a banner year for entertainment, with Mariah Carey, Journey, and Britney Spears all in residency.
Home to Harry Potter and a certain famous mouse, Orlando drew families in droves last year. In addition to harboring classic magical experiences, this destination offered plenty of new attractions, including the world’s tallest vertical roller coaster and a new restaurant by Morimoto.
Either great minds think alike or great minds just really want to see Hamilton. Either way, you put the Big Apple at number 3 on our list, which means you’re as dazzled by Manhattan as we are.
It only ranked at number 15 on our list of the Top 15 Places to Visit in the United States in 2015, but your travels put it at number 2 in popularity.
1. The Poconos

You put the beautiful Poconos all the way up at number one. Full of lush greenery in spring and summer, vibrant colors in autumn, and scenes plucked right from a Currier and Ives painting in winter, we can’t say we blame you.

5. Mexico
Cancún. Riviera Maya. Playa del Carmen. If gorgeous, white-sand beaches were what you craved in 2015, you knew exactly where to go. No wonder it also ranked as our number one pick for beach destinations and all-inclusive deals.
4. Thailand

Thousands of miles away, the jungles, temples, and other-worldly rock formations of Thailand called, and you happily answered. You hopped from the chaos of the Bangkok streets to the awe-inspiring ruins of Ayutthaya and the beaches of Phuket.
3. Italy
Viva l’Italia! The history of Rome and Florence intoxicated travelers, and the rolling hills of Tuscany landed the top region on our list of romantic destinations in 2015.
A jewel in the Caribbean Sea, Punta Cana boasts 20 miles of pristine beaches, as well as plenty of opportunities for scuba diving and snorkeling—you know, the stuff dream vacations are made of.
1. Ireland

Ireland not only ranked as your number one choice for international travel, but also as your top pick for romantic getaways. We had our money on another little European island, but the cliffsides and castles were clearly calling your name.
