Destinations
I'm looking for destinations to plan a trip. Probably will be sometime later next year (not sure exactly when) but have several places I've been thinking of for a lot of different reasons.
Not really looking for a typical "go to the beach" kind of outing. It's not really our thing. Looking more for historical, cool night life/music, shop local kind of places.
I've thought of places like:
Boston (she's been, I haven't)
Savannah GA or Carolinas (just always thought that would be a super cool port city with a lot of history and things to do, but neither of us have been to the E/SE)
Montana
Vermont/NH
We've both been to the west coast several times. She's been NW. Also lots of trips to CO (one of our favorites).
Would love the feedback and why you recommend it.
Thanks!

I'm a Bostonian.😎...and your gang would love it here...lots to do and see...exactly what you're looking for from your requirements I think....historical...lots of great new areas to walk and eat and browse and listen to music.....the around Fenway Park is brand new and even the Wharf area near Faneuil Hall Marketplace is all new.... it's always changing for the better...it's really close to NH which is gorgeous if you want to split the trip...I actually go summer and winter there so if you have any questions on either give me a holler hun!!
Um I'm really not a paid representative from their tourism office....I just think you'd dig it😎👊😉🤣

I don't get it. What about the rest of the world? When I think about going somewhere it usually is out of my country. I do have an interesting country but I think back to Greece is next. I'm from Australia. Lets go to Vietnam? See you there? Food is good

Jamestown, New York. It is the birthplace of Lucille Ball. There are two museums there that are her legacy, if not vision. One is a museum dedicated to her and Desi Arnaz, their lives and careers. The other is a terrific and very interactive place called The National Comedy Center. I visited both in September and had a great time. Lucy is buried in Jamestown. I didn't realize that until after I got home. Lake Erie is a half hour or so away, but I didn't make the drive that way.1

I would love to. Sorry, I forgot to mention cost. It unfortunately is a consideration and for this trip would be too much.
Santorini is my pie-in-the-sky trip. Probably won't happen, but a guy can dream, right? 😀0 -

I know I would. It's the placeholder for me and has been for a lot of years. Bucket list for me.... 😁0 -
OMG! I did go to Santorini on my honeymoon which is why I want to get back to Greece. So beautiful! Don't worry, one day you will if you want it to happen. I saved enough as a teenager just from babysitting to get to Europe so it can be done. You'll get there! Put your pennies away and it'll all add up. Big hugs.1

Glad to hear Santorini is all I expect it will be. 😁
Going to be awhile, but I do want to go there!0 -
Yes do it! So romantic. I rode a donkey up from the bottom! We went to the volcanic island. Caldera. I haven't made it to USA yet so guess I should read all your notes too.

Did you go thru New Mexico? Albuquerque balloon fest is going on now, so same time next year. Santa Fe, Sandia mountains, Taos all in one trip.2

Because you mentioned you're looking for historical, St. Augustine is the oldest city in the US and I always enjoyed visiting there when I lived in Florida.1

I've been to Pensacola, but that's as far E/SE I've made it. That part of FL is an interesting thought. Thanks!1 -
Charleston, SC is great, hubby and I took a long weekend there a couple years ago. We're taking a short trip to Chicago in December, it will be my first time and sometime next year we're taking all our kids for a long weekend in New Orleans.2

I agree about NM and also highly recommend heading up into the Moab, Utah area. Canyonlands and The Arches National Parks are two of my favorites and very close to one another. Gorgeous.
We also love CO, but once in awhile I've gotta get out to UT and NM!2 -

Good to know. Have friends who go to different parts of Utah but hadn't thought about that. Definitely heard of Moab. Thanks for the suggestions!1 -

Agreed.
Boston is high on the list.
If you're looking for history, it's a must.
Stay in the Back Bay and walk everywhere.2 -
New Orleans!1

Recently, I spent a week in New Orleans. We heard live music every day. There are many small music venues around town. Small enough that the audience can talk to the musicians. Too much good food. And such an interesting history. I didn’t get to see and do half of what I wanted to do. I will like to visit New Orleans again.3

I feel a trend.......😀
Seriously though, my wife has been and she knew/has known how much of a bucket list item it is for me, so it will probably be top of the list at this point....
Thanks for the suggestions!1 -

New Orleans is great. Been there a few times. Thanks!1 -
someone else mentioned New Mexico & it too would be a good choice.
head up north to Santa Fe & Taos.
rent a car and drive west on I-40 and visit the Grand Canyon2 -
Or if you end up going Nowhere
At least it’s cheap. Bring a tent.1 -

Charleston, South Carolina (charming colonial style architecture + a good bit of history)
political BS + horrible traffic aside, Portland, Oregon
Asheville, North Carolina (outstanding mountain biking + hiking, breweries, Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate [I'm not too keen on it, but it is the largest home in America and the architecture is quite beautiful], beautiful mountain ranges with dense forests, clean air, some of the cleanest water/locally sourced, no shortage of small, local art studios, Grove Park Inn, etc)
Have a friend who goes to Park City often. It looks amazing. Asheville sounds really cool too.

keep in mind, that many think because The Grand Canyon is located in Arizona that it's going to be warm there year round .... it ain't.1
