          1. It’s an hour away. I live in Port Orford and have a small art/gift shop. It’s a wonderful little town.

    1. Hi Matt. Thank you so much for your suggestions. My folks used to live in Port Townsend…lovely place. I’ve only driven through Wenatchee, so I don’t have any experience really there. I appreciate ya stopping by and sharing. Cheers, Mike

    1. Hi Mike, Payson is indeed a wonderful place. I have been there many times. It does however lacks higher end lodging and fine dining restaurants, don’t you think? Thank you so much for the suggestion. Cheers, Mike

    1. Hi Karen. Oh, you are so right. Cannon Beach is fantastic, and, really fits the criteria too. If we can get a few more to recommend it, I might just have to include it in the poll. Thank you so much for the fantastic suggestions. Cheers, Mike

    1. Hi Dee…I have been to many parts of KY, but can’t say I recall or have even heard of Henderson. I will have to check it out. Thank you so much for sharing your suggestion. Cheers, Mike

  1. Charleston, South Carolina! Fantastic restaurants (Top Chef was here last season). Historic homes,
    gorgeous architecture, top rated hotels from boutique to B&B, scenic beaches and islands.

    1. Hi Jane. This is a very good suggestion. If we can get a few more people to also suggest it, I may have to add it to the list. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your suggestion. A very good one! Cheers, Mike

    1. Hi Sandra…oh, I love Plattsburgh! I spent a week there. The one area that it falls short if I recall correctly is higher end lodging. Some great restaurants though and tons of history, culture and things to do. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your suggestion. Cheers, Mike

  2. I love Walla Walla WA. L am a senior senior and have traveled some. No place as nice to visit or live.

  3. Providence, Rhode Island. Can’t beat this beautiful little city! Cuisines from all over the globe! universites, BROWN,JWU,PC,RIC….
    FUN, Art, Culture, Historical, Night life, Theatre, Music…LGBQT. It’s never a question of what to do. Just a question of how much you can squeeze in!
