No, do go. See the Oregon coast. Spend a week in Bandon during storm season. Get an oceanfront room in one of the inns there & enjoy the 70-mile-per-hour storms as they roar in from the Pacific. Bandon is famed for its storm season.
I want to go to the Olympia peninsula in Washington. I also want to go to Alaska.

I used to spend Summers in the Queets River rain forest http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/pac...130/cover.html on the Olympic Peninsula. I wnet back for the first time in over 20 years, back in '97, and I was horrified to see how the land around the highways leading to the park are stripped of trees. The park itself, though, still looks just like I remember it: ferns, clear water, moist forest paths, and trees covered with lichen and moss. It is a paradise.
The Hoh rainforest is also amazing, and Second Beach is a wild beautiful beach - not sure if you can camp there.

let's see, I want to go to Yelapa, South of Puerto Vallarta
I want to go back to Santiago De Compostela, and back to Lisbon.
I would like to spend some time in Montreal
It would be swell to go the Big Island of Hawaii
Make it so!

My parents just got back from an Alaskan cruise and they said it was gorgeous! They also said don't go on a cruise unless all you wanna do is lounge around eat!! Apparently the food is decadent and plentiful. Sounds good to me!

I want to go to Iceland. I know, I know, sounds boring but I studied Old Norse in graduate school and read all the old Icelandic sagas in the original Old Norse, so I'd like to visit all the sites mentioned in those stories. I know, I 'm a nerd. Well, I'd also like to take a dip in those famous hot springs! That'd be cool, just get out of your car and dive into a spring on the side of the road. Awesomeness.

Girl, you and I need to go to Dollywood. If anyone has a problem with you, I can be all "Hey, you gotta problem with my Mexican friend?! Bring it on, redneck beyotches!"

Then, we'll fight and beat them up and go get on the log ride.

There are a billion places I'd kill to go. A million things I'd love to see...

Paris
Alaska
Vancouver
Washington
Oregon (This and Washington MAY be a reality within the next couple of years...fingers crossed)
New York City
Chicago
Egypt
Germany (Neuschwanstein Castle!!)
Italy
Switzerland
Montana (This was actually on our planned trip 6 years ago before all hell broke loose in my family. We were gonna drive that Going to the Sun Road that David mentioned.)
Hawaii
New England in the fall
New Zealand and Australia

And the list goes on and on and on....

And we can take Jazzy!!! It'll be a fabulous time...but we'll all have to go when Dolly is actually there...hey, do you think she'll sing "Smoky Mountain Christmas" for us?

wondergirl9847 · #22 06-02-2006, 02:15 PM

Sure she will.

Then, she'll sing Hard Candy Christmas...dang, I love that song.

I really do wanna go up into the Smokies (or Rockies or something) during Christmas in the snow, freezing cold. HEY, where is that little cabin in the movie?! Let's rent it!

It's probably in frickin' California.

Well, I ate, drank and gambled for nine days

Also, I was getting a massage while looking at the Hubbard Glacier ( http://www.hubbardglacier.info/history.html ) - which words cannot describe!

I want to go as well. In fact a buddy of mine is supposed to go and I cannot join him

Dollywood's really the only place left that I'm dying to go to.

yep. it's number 1 on my list too.

chiliD · #26 06-02-2006, 04:15 PM

Sometime before I call it quits in this lifetime, I would like to hit the 9 states I have not been to, so I can say I "saw 'em all":

Alaska
North Dakota
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Michigan (I was within not just miles or yards, but FEET and didn't cross the border)
Florida
North Carolina
South Carolina
Kentucky

Well, while I'm at it, maybe the other 5 Canadian provinces, too:
Nova Scotia
Manitoba
Newfoundland
Prince Edward Island
New Brunswick

Umm...ok, just looked at a Canadian map...when was Nunavut split from the Northwest Territories??

Never mind, just found out...April 1, 1999. Obviously, the news of that never made it to the US news agencies.

Next time Dolly does a show there, I'm going. She used to do yearly shows to benefit her foundation, but is skipping this year.

Ugh she is? That sucks....I totally want to go - but only when she's there. And as much as I love Dolly I want to go before she gets any creepier looking

ooh Paula ... you must get to Boston! It is the coolest place. I just got back from there about two weeks ago. It was my 3rd time there. My brother lives there so it's even better!!!! So many things to see and do .... eat & drink. This time we took a tour of the Sam Adams brewery. Free tastings!!!!!!! Lots and lots of fun.

I'm not sure what more can be done to her.
