Racecation Runner - Taking it beyond the local

We all started somewhere and then we branched out! Most of us did it before we even thought much about it.  What am I talking about?  Road racing, one foot in front of the other, local, national, international!  And if we were going to travel for races why not stay a while and make a racecation out of it?  New towns, old towns, hotels, camping, restaurants, carry-out, and oh the expos! How could you pass up all that fun? 

Some of us meet up with friends at our destination races, others travel with them, and still others go solo (knowing full well that there will be plenty of folks to meet and hang out with).  Runners are a fun bunch and we generally know how to enjoy ourselves regardless of the circumstances...we are runners!

So let's here 'em! What are your favorite racecation destinations and races?
