I'm almost 74yo and I hate travelling more and more each year, especially the thought of a long flight overseas. I don't have anyplace on my bucket list to see. Hopefully, I don't forget anything, but I've been to Portland, ME, Providence, RI, skiing all thru VT and NH, Boston, various cities in CT, Long Island and NYC, upstate NY, Jersey shore, Philly and Amish country, DC and northern VA, Charleston, Savannah, Disney World, S.E. FL, New Orleans, Santa Fe and Albuquerque , Skiing in CO, Yellowstone and Big Sky, MT, Badlands and Mt. Rushmore, Custer's Last Stand, Devil's Tower, all of AZ, all of UT, Sun Valley, ID, Jackson Hole, WY, Vegas/Reno/Lake Tahoe (winter and summer) NV, Seattle, Portland and the northern coast of OR (unfortunately missed Crater Lake, but wouldn't go back just to see that), Frisco, Monterey/Carmel, Wine country-Napa/Sonoma, San Diego- haven't been to Yosemite, but I don't think I'd make a trip just to see that, Maui and Big Island, Southern Alaska cruise and fishing near Anchorage.
Is there something left in the States that I would regret not seeing? Not interested in a beach area, and has to have some good restaurants
Thanks
Thanks, Matty. I'll look it up
Haven't been to Taos, but I've been to a lot of ski towns

Magical place. Two cities in one. Never have I used my camera more. And it's not far from Austin, if you want to see both in one trip.
I've heard that what's left of the Alamo is a big disappointment, but if I did Austin, I'd certainly make the sidetrip
I wasn't disappointed by the Alamo, but that isn't why I'd go back. It's the River Walk that makes it a magical place. Link - ( New Window )
Thanks for the link. I just did a riverwalk in New Orleans, but this looks better
Thanks. I've done most of the West Coast and my Alaska cruise stopped in Vancouver Island
Thanks, I'll take a look at that when I get a chance
haven't been there. That and Banff, Lake Louise might be worth a look
Plenty of good eating available downtown and in the surrounding areas. Jeff Ruby’s and BOCA are must do restaurants if you can get in. Location also makes it perfect for some great side trips. Very convenient if you like Bourbon to drive over the bridge into Kentucky and do the Bourbon trail. The trail could be a day trip or multiple days. Short drive over to Columbus to see an Ohio State game at a great venue. Cleveland is a 3 hour or so drive and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and other activities available. Just a few thoughts for you….

We're heading to Salt Lake City, Yellowstone, Tetons, Jackson and Park City in a few months. Any suggestions for us?
First off, the Mountain West is great if you're outdoors people- hiking, biking, fishing. In SLC, of course you've got to tour the Temple. Not really a lot of great sightseeing, but the mountain views are breathtaking. My favorite restaurant is Tiburon, in Sandy, just south of SLC. Park City is about 45 minutes east. The temps there will be 10-15 degrees cooler. Great for outdoors, spend half a day walking the shops on Main Street. Some good restaurants there. Sunday brunch at Stein Erikson's Lodge is nice, but I think it runs about $85pp now. The Winter Olympics training center still operates in PC and you can ride up a ski lift at some of the resorts if you've never done that. You can also take a bike up on the lifts if you're so inclined. They also have outdoor concerts on the grass at Deer Valley, you might want to look into that. Yellowstone is great, you can probably do a couple of days there. Haven't been to the Tetons, only saw them in the distance while driving. Might also consider Sun Valley/Ketchum ID. We got into a long conversation once with Dick Riordon, Mayor of Los Angeles, who was having dinner with his wife at the next table. Only been to Jackson Hole in the summer. Nice town/area. Expensive. I still remember I had the best rack of lamb ever at The Blue Lion- I just looked and it's still open. Enjoy your trip
Thanks for the info.
