A week or two ago at work, I wrote down a list of vacations I’d like to take. Or vacation destinations, roughly. I’ll be trying to take it easy on the budget this school year, but I’ll have weekends free, so I’m thinking 3-5 non-family related trips. One of the key features is seeing people I know, or meeting bloggers I’ve read, in the destinations. Especially if they can show me around or put me up. Another key feature is places I’ve never been to before, or at least haven’t been to recently.
Other proposals are welcome, leave them as comments. =)
If you do Seattle, you have to do Vancouver. They’re so close together. Vancouver is better, but Seattle is still awesome.
Charleston, South Carolina….
Alas, as I now live here, I won’t be able to do any kind of housing, but it’s a pretty city (or perhaps that’s just homesickness kicking in) with various attractions ranging from some artistic (if you go during the international art festival, Spoleto), the historic (it’s been a little drama queen in it’s time plus plantations are always pretty), and the natural (the new Aquarium, the Angel Oak…). There’s other things, I’m sure, but I tend not to be a tourist in my hometown so don’t know that many off the top of my head.
You left out San Francisco.
That’s because it’s a given. =)
Montreal 😀
Another proposal
New Mexico (Santa Fe & generous radius)
Switzerland is lovely. All else being equal, I’d have to go for outdoorsy myself.
Come to NY. You have a place to stay if you do!
