Former Vacation Of A Lifetime winner Lee Willson traveled with his wife, Joyce, to Select Registry inns in 18 states and provinces, from British Columbia to New England and the Southeast.  

"We stayed at amazing inns in places where we have friends and relatives," Willson explains. "Joyce and I like regional cooking and things that are local and unique. We sampled fantastic regional cuisine from the Pacific Northwest all the way to New Orleans and Charleston, and we got our recommendations from the Select Registry innkeepers.

"Unique experiences – that's what we got at each B&B, along with beautiful accommodations and a real feel for the local culture," Willson continues. "It truly was the 'vacation of a lifetime.'"
