Planning

[lyciasjo]

In this day and age, when the dollars does not seem to go as far, I am trying to decide where I can go for a non-work getaway. I mean, I do not have to go to some sort of hotel like in a Hitchcock movie, but I do not want to try to do something that is seen on TMZ.  I been to Europe a few times, but I would like to stay in the country I live in

Enough reasons? You need more "seafood" lines?

Food on your mind?

Let me take a stab in the dark....The seafood is good there?

Have you been there? Honestly I know next to nothing (which would be as much as I know about Portlan) about the city, except it rains a lot.

I went there a few years back and I have family in Tacoma. It is beautiful up there. Mt. Ranier (sp?) is pretty cool..One of the few places you can go in the US and go sking all year around.

And there wine country is 3rd in the USA, behind Napa and up state NY wineries.

You will love it up there.

And again..great seafood...

The rain isn't as bad has people make it out to be. Kinda reminds me of London in the Fall.

Well it sounds like a good idea, but drinking wine while skiing down a rain mountain sounds like madness :-P You know me, I am sane and calm person, not into mad acts.

I was in San Francisco in March, and I loooved it. :) I stayed at the Westin BUT there are also cheap hotels (we went for a conference).

[lyciasjo]

Now that is a good idea!

I always wanted to spend a good amount of time there., like a week. I was there for like 2 days awhile ago, but I was not able to take in the city that much because I was there for work also. I always thought of San Francisco kind of the gateway to Western America, and a crossroads to many cultures.

Thanks, I will seriously consider it :-)

I live in San Francisco, and I absolutely love it. I can't think of any place I'd rather be.

[lyciasjo]

That is two votes for San Francisco, well 2 & 1/2 if I could Zen's. I think I might serious consider going there in early September. Since you are a native, is there any must sees places and things to do?

um... Minneapolis? :)

Well will you be my tour guild?
