OK, I am finishing up the old Masters Degree this year, and my wife has told me that I get a vacation - wherever I want, in the US. Any ideas? What to do when we get there? Make it good (and clean!) folks...

If it has to be in the US I personally would suggest Portland Oregon. If it was your dream vacation I would say Istanbul Turkey.

Not my call...

We had a good time on a Caribbean cruise, but I guess that's not in the US. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Just remember, when you get that cramp below the belt that doubles you up, you have about 2 min to find a toilet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Assuming you'd fly, I'd head for Portland, OR and use it as a base for seeing the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon Coast, wineries, Crater Lake, and Mt. Saint Helens. As much as I like Yosemite and Lake Tahoe, I don't think there is a single area with as much to see/do as well as lot's of opportunities for relaxation as the coast of Oregon. My mouth waters just thinking about Tillamook ice cream!

If you need to drive from Indiana, I think I'd head for New England, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Yes, I know the last two are not U.S. but they are close and the natives are friendly. I haven't been to that area since 1960, but I remember that the coast of Maine and all of Nova Scotia were very special places and they've long been on my list of places to go back to.

If I weren't restricted to the U.S., I'd go to Paris France.

Which is legal, by the way.

I'd go to Vegas. Anything that happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, so I'd get all spendy, and leave the bill.

The West Coast of Mexico or Canada would be my first choices if youre going to stay on the continent. Vancouver BC and Victoria are incredible until September. I'd go there before Portland. Portland is nice, but not nearly as scenic as Vancouver BC area. You also can take ferries to small islands like Salt Spring Island or Orcas Island.

I go to Puerto Escondido, a "sleepy" little fishing village in Mexcio every year for a couple weeks. Very fun place but very much off the beaten path. You fly in on a single engine 8 to 10 passenger Cessna from the city of Oaxaca.

Northern California has Yosemite, San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas, all nice.


Maine is beautiful too.

You said to keep it clean so I figured that eliminated Sin City.

I'll add portland as well, head to the coast, north up to seattle, go to the olympic peninsuala and see the rain forest and from there head up to the San Juan islands, victoria and vancouver. Lotsa fun.

Hit the badlands, visit the head rocks, then venture on down to the grand canyon. Hiking, rafting, etc. Been planning this for a while myself. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
