It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a trip out of the general Baltimore/Washington area. I spent two weeks in Lewes, DE this summer and before that there was a trip to LA for work, which doesn’t really count. Somehow, Lewes still feels like it’s very connected to DC – WAMU is now broadcasting on 88.3 there for god’s sake. I’ve got the wanderlust pretty bad. I need a trip to somewhere that is completely unlike where I live.
Shortly after meeting Mrs. TKD (then simply TKD) we took a trip to Sedona, AZ. She was on business, and I was along for the ride over the weekend. We had a blast. I got out into the desert for a few walks. Sedona itself was kind of tacky to be honest – the main street is littered with shops selling low quality goods at high quality prices, but the area around Sedona — breathtaking. I don’t want to go back to Sedona right now, but will some day. Right now, here’s my list of places I’d like to visit for the pure pleasure of visiting them:
- Portland, Oregon
- Seattle, Washington
- Vancouver, British Columbia
- Bar Harbor, Maine
- Camden, Maine
- Boulder, Colorado
- Breckenridge, Colorado
- Boise, Idaho
- San Francisco, California
- Sonoma County, California
Clearly, a number of these destinations could be combined into single visits. In fact, some probably should – I can’t imagine spending a week in Bar Harbor, Maine without tagging a day or two in Camden on the trip and I really can’t imagine spending a whole week in Camden. That being said, many of these destinations, even though they are close to each other, warrant a full week to explore.
Dreaming for now, but a trip is going to be put on the books at some point.
ahhh…wanderlust. I totally understand!
I noticed park city wasn’t on the list. ;-/ But, I would recommend it over Boulder for sure, and it is a heck of a lot easier to get to than Breck. Plus you have a guest room in Park City! and as for Maine, don’t forget Boothbay Harbor! ask the Schwingers about it…maybe we can plan a group trip!
cheers,

Breck is a pain in the ass to get to for sure. Park City is now on the list!
