Whether it’s a big family vacation or a getaway for two, Cape Cod has everything to make for a great summer vacation.
4. Hawaii
Nothing suits summer more than an island vacation. Hop on a non-stop flight from Phoenix, and explore the gorgeous, tropic islands of Hawaii.

Hawaii is the perfect destination for sight-seeing, relaxation and adventure.

Head north to Vancouver, Canada for a summer vacation full of sight-seeing and picturesque views. Summer is the perfect time to visit as Vancouver almost guarantees warm and sunny days throughout the season. Visit one of the city’s most popular attractions, Stanley Park. The West Coast rainforest offers breathtaking views of the water, mountains and the world’s longest waterfront path, the Seawall. For the thrill seekers, check out Capilano Suspension Bridge, a 460-foot bridge crossing the Capilano River.
