The National Trust For Historic Preservation just released their 2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations list highlighting "cultural and recreational experiences different from those found at the typical vacation destination."
After browsing their picks, I realized that many of these places would fall into the budget-friendly travel category — they're not pricey, large metropolitan areas yet have special character, well-preserved traditions, and valuable histories. While it may require flying to smaller, regional airports to get super close, many would make a nice side trip from a traditional resort stay. I surely can name plenty of cute towns accessible as a day's drive (like Pescadero in Northern California) or even neighborhoods of bigger cities (like old-town Ybor City as part of Tampa, FL) that I'd consider worth the trip.

What about you? If you share finances with a partner, do you give shared gifts for Valentine’s Day?
