I loved London last year . . . . and New York the year before that.
Plunked ourselves down in the dead center of both cities and found both had plenty to do just from walking all day.
I think I'll be checking out Boston in a few months as well.
The drive between San Francisco and LA along the number one, Big Sur, etc is beautiful.
Been to Maui three times . . . . October is a nice time to be there, tail end of summer but before the winter tourists.
Been to lots of other places but the above would be the highlights.
And frankly, where we live - the Calgary area and BC - is a fabulous place to drive around. We shouldn't forget that.
An obscure Monty Python "In Search Of The Holy Grail" gathering at Russell Square in London, only a block or so from where the bus blew up last summer.
