    I’d love to visit all those places too, and more!
    My TT shares 13 things about Litha (Midsummer).
    Joyous Litha, happy TT!

    Well, when you come to Pittsburgh, be sure to tell me and we can get together! You DO know that the RT convention will be here next year, right?

    The other cities rock. I’d like to see most of them, and will always return to the Tetons.

    Happy TT!

    Happy Thursday!

    Great list! I’d like to visit some of those places as well! The only one I can cross off is #6. Been to Branson several times…live 4 hours North of Branson.

    Huh, Salt Lake. I would never think of it as a destination place, but living 30 minutes away will do that to you. If you ever need ideas on what to see when you come, just ask. I’ve got plenty.

    And the Tetons are gorgeous, but you might as well swing on up to Yellowstone while you’re there, especially if you haven’t been before.

    I’m curious — why Branson, MO? And if you ever get a chance to add a #14, investigate my beloved Chicago. Millenium Park, Lake Michigan, Wrigley Field, the Mag Mile, the museums … (No, I don’t work for the Chamber of Commerce, but I could!)

    Actually whenever I thought about my dream destination I never thought about USA. I’m much more for part of the planet considered as cradle of civilization or Europe.

    Browsing thru your list I’d love to visit some of those places as well (and see my friends I have there…).

    Cheers!
    My TT is up as well but it’s not bright at all…

    That’s quite a varied list of places….wouldn’t it be nice to have the time to drive around the United States?

    I would visit any place in Hawaii anytime. For the rest, even if I know some of the place, I don’t know their attractions!!
    Happy TT!

    I’d love to go to the Rockies someday. And Florida is high on my list, just because I’ve never been there. :)

    Great list!

    The only place I’ve been to on that list is Salt Lake. Kinda random, but still a cool city! There’s a really neat park next to the Greyhound station.

    Angela – I’ll definitely add Colorado!

    Gal – Chicago is beautiful. Love the lake and the shops along Michigan Ave. Home of Jazz next to Harlem, of course! Branson b/c of the bluegrass and amusement for the kids.

    Milan – Europe is cool. Maybe do TT of there next.

    Susan – will be getting in touch when I do the road trip to PA.

    I’ve got wonderful memories of the Great Smoky Mountains–a group of friends organized a readers weekend there a few years back, and it was just the best time. Food, wine, friends, books, and fabulous scenery.

    DC and Savannah are both great cities. The two on your list I’d like to see are the Tetons and Sedona (and Napa Valley, oh what the heck, and Hawaii):smile:. Happy Solstice.
