Been to both New Orleans and Boston. Would recommend either. Boston in the summertime, so you can catch a Sox game. New Orleans...well....anytime. The food in New Orleans was tremendous. If I stayed longer than 4 or 5 days, I would have gained 15 lbs between the alcohol and the food. I went to New Orleans during the Jazz Festival and had a frigging blast. Going back to "The Big Easy" is a post-divorce goal of mine, most definitely.

Also on my post-divorce travel list: California. I spent a week in San Diego 5 years ago on business and loved it. Would love to spend 2 weeks in Cali, going from North to South, spending time in the various cities (i.e.-- SF, LA, SD, etc.).

My cousin moved to Maine after she got married and won't shut the hell up about it. She loves it and is actively recruiting folks to come up and visit. Everyone that has gone likes it, and I look forward to visiting her up there at some point.

You can go to the bunny ranch.

I lived in the heart of Wine Country for 10 years. And, it is the best. Every day was like a vacation.

I also like the mountians. In particular I like the Grand Teteon and Targee areas. When I vacate... I love going there and just losing myself.

Take a vacation on the state.

There's a few key "passwords" you need to know first to get it though. (They don't give these out free to everyone.)

First drive a bit too fast on the highway.
(This is to alert the local vacation planners that you're interested. They hide among the common citizens in white cars with bright lights and loud sirens on top.)

Then, as they alert all motorists that you might have won, and to be envious of you, they will drive up behind you.

DON'T pull over right away though. You want everyone for at least a few miles to know of your luck.

When you do pull over, tell the nice gentleman to F... It. This is could for how 'Fantastic' your vacation will be.

If you are truely lucky, he will give you a pair of nice shiny bracelets as your first souvenier.

Then you'll be off to a nice All Inclusive, Vacation on the State.

Please leave your cell phone behind (they'll give you one call free), then just relax and injoy the escape from real life.

It's vacations like those that cause me to get teh tattoo "EXIT ONLY" on my backside.

If you go to niagara falls, lemmie know, i'm close.

Vegas. VEGAS VEGAS!!!!

I love vegas.

Rman, the Bean and I went on an 8-day whirlwind tour of New England, including lobster dinners in Connecticut and Maine. SW flies for about $39 into Providence (from BWI). If you're looking for a little tranquility, Mount Desert Island, ME is the place to be!!

What are you looking for? History? Peace and quiet? Fun fun fun? Water activities?

I went to New Mexico in July, it was very different. Sante Fe was so lovely, I would go back in a heartbeat. Dallas is very cool. We also just got back from the Outer Banks NC, and that's beautiful there too. Lots of kayaking, fishing, swimming, etc. Plus cool stuff to see like the Wright Brothers museum.

Get on lastminutevacation.com or something like that. They run last minute short trips. Just have to watch your prices.

I like the monterey, CA area. The ocean, great food, relaxed attitudes and not too much to do. There are B & Bs on the coast. I lived there for a while.

Maryland is awesome.

I hear they have crabs.

4 days is screaming Vegas........

The Oregon Coast wild raw ocean and some neat lttle towns.

Im close to the falls too..it really is beautiful. Vegas is SO much fun! Im heading to the Jersey Shore tomorrow for the weekend......some beach time and then Im sure we will head into NYC for dinner and shopping.

whatever you decide Rman..have fun!

I am taking 4 days next week and going to the Mendocino coast in California with my dog. It's beautiful there. Of course, I can drive there in a few hours, so it makes it really accessible and do-able, too. I seek peace and quiet and natural surroundings.
