Where should I go?
come out to La Jolla in San Diego ... it is lovely and delicious California
town "Sarah" wrote in message ... I realize this is a pretty broad question. I have a free ticket on Southwest, so I'm limited to places they fly. I'm from Maryland and have been up & down the east coast, and besides, since the ticket is free, I'd rather go somewhere farther (which would be more expensive if I were paying for the ticket). I may or may not go by myself, depending on if I can talk a friend or friends to take some time off work and come with me. I'd like to go for around a week in March. Things I enjoy: scenery (I loved Utah & Colorado when I was out there), walking around cool towns (old coal mining towns in Colorado, artsy towns like Taos, etc.), and seeing things that are unique to a place (Opryland in Nashville, walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in SF). I'm not especially interested in museums unless they're really different. Looking at the Southwest map, and leaving out the east coast and places I've been, leaves: 1) Southern California (LA/San Diego) 2) Omaha (worth a week??) 3) Portland (horrible connections on Southwest, though) 4) Boise (I've been to SLC & Yellowstone--is it worth a week there?) 5) Reno/Lake Tahoe (is March a good time to go there? I ski the really easy slopes on the east coast, so skiing out there may be beyond me and too much work to be fun) 6) Little Rock (maybe drive to Memphis--what else is there besides Graceland) 7) New Orleans (I was told definitely not to go there by myself--is that the case?) 8) Spokane (I'm going to Seattle on business this summer, though), 9) Various Texas towns (I've been to Austin, and I spent a day in San Antonio--Riverwalk & Alamo mainly, but is there another week's worth?) Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks! Sarah (If you reply by e-mail, please remove the nospams) |

Any suggestions/ideas? Obtain a globe. Locate the position on the globe of places like Texas, California, Arkansas etc. Locate the position on the globe of Australia and New Zealand. Note how very, very far away from each other they are. Contemplate the meaning of the terms "lost" and "geographically challenged". HTH |
