Best day trip was back in 2007. December 28th went to College Station for a basketball game. After the game, dad surprises me with tickets to the Alamo Bowl for that night.

Florida. When Lattimore ran for about 1000 yards and was dragging Gators all over the field. Won the East, and the Swamp was quiet pretty much the entire game after the opening kickoff.

Oxford '03..
Invited to Ole Miss student section but had to leave after several Rebs informed me they would kick my arse if I kept cheering for LSU..
Still kinda feel bad about waving my arms around and screaming "It's Over" after Eli tripped.

Florida, 2006. Spurrier's return to Gainesville. The game where Jarvis Moss blocked two field goals and essentially put UF in the title game.
The weather was beautiful, the fans were friendly, and the game was one of the best games in the SEC in the last decade. Even though Carolina lost, it was a lot of fun, and all the Gators I met were genuinely gracious, good people.

LSU-Ole Miss in Oxford, 2003.
Because the Ole Miss hotties thing is 100% true, and it was cute to see 'em so pissed off afterward.

Hawaii but did not go to a game. Does that count?

Probably 2003 SECCG in Atlanta. We showed those Dawgs how to tailgate and party! LSU 34 UGA 13
HM:
1982 Freshman year - Birmingham LSU 20 bama 10
bama had ZERO first downs and 5 yards total offense at halftime. Didn't do much better after that...
2012 Auburn LSU 12 Auburn 10. Very nice tailgating
and hospitality.
2013 Miss State LSU 59 MSU 26 Minus the stupid GD MF cowbells, it was cool...

Athens, black-out game in 2008. Not even close
This... it's really not close.
Caveat, "road trip," includes more than the game. Best game would probably belong to 2012 SECCG or the battle against Clemson 2 weeks ago.
But that road trip, and, that game... it was the actual "Bama's Back" game we have all longed for. The Friday night and Saturday bender cannot be described, and the atmosphere pre-game was just insane. The elation following that game was simply something I'll never forget.

State College PA was fun. Seeing Amish country (Lancaster) was a damn good experience. Had dinner with an Amish family and it was really cool. Learned a lot about there culture. Tried to bang the daughter but it didn't work out.
Their farms are being sold at a high rate and technology/urbanism is slowly engulfing their communities. It's also becoming tougher for the families to pass down their farms when the kids don't want to continue that lifestyle. I highly suggest visiting Lancaster but get off the main roads and out of the tourist spots. Check out some of the smaller towns in the county.

I really liked Arkansas. NWA is beautiful.

I've enjoyed almost every road trip I have taken (except Morgantown, West Virginia).
Best game and overall experience for me was the BCS Title game that Auburn won in Arizona. Auburn won the natty and the trip was a lot of fun as well. Neat to see a different part of the country and we did some good hiking in the surrounding areas. Maybe that doesn't count b/c it wasn't a "road" trip (I flew) and it was a bowl game, not another campus.
For me the best tailgating was in Baton Rouge and the friendliest opposing fans were in Clemson.
Back to a bowl game, I think the most fun destination is the Sugar Bowl b/c the Superdome is so close to the FQ. The Rose Bowl was the prettiest setting, but I didn't like the way it was kind of by itself away from everything.

That's hard, I've had great nights in Baton Rouge, Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Knoxville, Auburn, and Fayetteville as a student from Mississippi State. They each have their pros and cons. It's really hard not to have fun in an SEC college town if you put forth just a little effort.

USC '14 was a good trip. Friendly fans, great food, good entertainment, and of course the debut of the Kenny-for-Heisman campaign didn't hurt. Little did we know...
The only downer was USC bringing out USC student and MOH recipient Kyle Carpenter for a pregame motivational speech. I thought that was dirty pool, and honestly thought A&M might be doomed.
I also enjoyed Ole Miss '12 and '13 and was grateful that we weren't murdered after stealing both games. The Grove was a muddy mess both years, but the wimmens made up for it. But Oxford is close enough that we just drove up game day - doesn't really qualify as a road trip.
