I never associate real places with my sims. 
Me neither! But I have to say, your vacation sims= teh awesome.
Thanks. Good NPCs make it a lot more fun to play. Sometimes I am tempted to send sims on a holiday, because I miss seeing Zeeshan dancing the hula. Many of them women who met him want to see him again too. 
I did the same with the hobby sims and now I want all my playables to become hobby club members so they can meet them.
