Ever since I entered the world of camping, my trips and vacations to other states outside of New York and Pennsylvania or out of the country have pretty much ceased. For almost 25 years, I have owned a travel trailer and have parked it at area campgrounds.

It was the right decision since it's like a mini-vacation every weekend during the warm months and all my vacation weeks are spent at camp. But as fun s it is, I do miss traveling to other parts of the country.

But that's going to change this year. At least one time. Before the 2023 camping season begins, I am planning a short trip to Florida to escape the cold and snow. I'm looking forward to it.

Florida is obviously a popular vacation state for many, and I wondered what state in the U.S. Twin Tiers residents visit the most for vacations in 2023. So I opened up the question on social media and found 8 states that have multiple Twin Tier residents heading their way this summer.

I even received responses from people who live in other states and they responds that they are heading to either Pennsylvania or New York State for summer vacation. Well, both states are great places for things to do in the summer and we sure do have some of the nicest scenery on the planet.

Here are the 8 states that were mentioned most in my informal survey. Have a great trip!
