I found this blurb on msn so I’m making this place my #2 to visit
1. Hiking in Bulgaria
Walk into history—almost literally—with Country Walkers, a Vermont-based specialist with a most unusual 8-day itinerary. Little-known Bulgaria, a new EU member, boasts one-and-a-half millennia-worth of architecture and artifacts, as well as some of Europe’s most splendid scenery: mountain ranges, lush valleys, wildflower meadows, and sandstone pyramids carved by the elements. Hike from a still-active 13th-century Orthodox monastery to a ruined Roman amphitheater; discover the perfectly preserved medieval crafts town of Tryavna and the unique national revival architecture of the 19th century. CW has also unearthed fabulous family-run inns and hotels with home-cooked meals. $2,600 for 8 days, all-inclusive; www.countrywalkers.com

I had a better time in the one night we were on Freemont Street than the 4 other days we were on the strip. The Strip was crowded and lacking in character compared to Freemont St. which is the offspring of a love affair between Time Square and Bourbon Street. Its bright and flashy like Time Square, but laid back and fun like Bourbon St (without the strong stench of urine). When my husband and I go back to LV, we’re staying in one of the Freemont St. hotels rather than on the strip.

you’re in the mood to just wander around a cute town. There are a few over priced boutiques, resturants, a good bagel place and not much else.

when there is no one inside. Usually the cramped interior is full of snotty town-folk and Sarah Lawrence students drinking crappy coffee (the only thing good is the Brain Freeze). Starbucks is just around the corner and Dunkin Donuts is a few blocks away. Or go to Gillards for Green Mountain Coffee.

if you can’t make it to Florida

My favorite place in the world. It has the most awesome vibe to it

...because its my home state

I only live here because I can’t afford to not live in the ghetto. Yes, my neighborhood is in the ghetto, but it has a pretty view of the river from my kitchen
