[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 748599, member: 18958"] I have been to Vermont in the summer, a private island near Burlington. I went related to a wedding. Near the water it was beautiful and very relaxing. This is where somebody would go to have quiet and calm and natural beauty. As far as a bar scene and great restaurants I am not sure. I would love this, too. I have heard that upstate NY is marvelous now. I have heard there are great old hotels in areas like the Catskills that have been restored and renewed (think Dirty Dancing) that might have all-inclusive type arrangements. Do you prefer and urban, big city vacation of hustle and bustle and great shopping, museums and sites or do you want low key, natural beauty, a laid back retreat? These would be two very different vacations. Honestly, this post is making me very, very envious. (If you were traveling in Spring or Fall I would recommend Las Vegas.) M and I had a very good time there. And I don't gamble. There is no place like it, that I have ever been. As far as big cities that would be cool (both cool climate and cool), there are Seattle and Portland. Both are beautiful, have marvelous restaurants, and natural beauty. So this kind of place would combine urban with beauty. I would have suggested San Francisco but it has changed. It is geographically beautiful but has been taken over by tech. As far as vacation areas that would have great restaurants and a great scene, but be relaxed, laid back, and beautiful too, I would think of Martha's Vineyard, the Napa Valley, specifically Calistoga, or the Hamptons on Long Island. I have not been to Martha's Vineyards but would love to go. I have been to both Napa and the Hamptons in the summer. I recall that it was warm but not insufferable. Napa has dry heat. Calistoga is a hot springs town but there are regular pools too. It is wonderful. I've been going for almost 60 years. There are vineyards, and wineries, and great restaurants. You could really, really relax. It is laid back and about 80 minutes or so to San Francisco. [/QUOTE]
