I was going to do Portland/Seattle with a side trip to Cannon Beach this summer as I have several friends living in Portland right now, but I cxl'd to go down to New Orleans and Ormond Beach (FL) around Memorial Day to visit family, friends, and of course, the guy I seem to be fixed upon lately. The latter places, down South, are where I grew up, so they're not new, but I get homesick. All great choices. I've had fun trips to San Francisco (side trip to San Jose to see the Winchester house) and DC (for an Edvard Munch exhibit at the Nat'l Gallery). I lived down in Anaheim and did the San Diego Zoo and beaches. Savannah on a pass-through was lovely and I'd love to go back and stay a bit, eat and take the ghost tours. North Carolina and the Biltmore were awesome. I've always wanted to see Hearst Castle in Cali too... and drive down the coast. Salem at Halloween is another bucket list travel goal, and the cottages on the islands off the New England coast during summer. I though about Montreal for the Kinetik Fest in May, but yeah- the tickets were Europe-expensive! I love traveling, so any place sounds great to me!
