View Full Version : You Just Won
lilhave 07-25-2006, 07:15 AM You just won a one week paid vacation to anywhere in the united States but only the lower 48. Just where would you spend it.
I think I would select Montana and some virgin trout stream, and fly fish for the entire week.

gilligan fanatic 07-25-2006, 10:55 AM somewhere in California I guess, I have never been there before.
Brian Damage 07-25-2006, 11:07 AM I think I would pick Las Vegas, Nevada
Jonathan 07-25-2006, 11:28 AM Los Angeles, California.
PZelda 07-25-2006, 12:05 PM New York City. :D
Lex Luthor 07-25-2006, 12:44 PM I would go to New York, I hear Harvey throws a good BBQ
Ireneparalegal 07-25-2006, 12:47 PM I would pick New York and see all the sites.

As Johnny Olson on the "price is right" would say, "come on down" Promise to show you the major hotspots. The latest drive-by shooting, with the chalked off area, where to get the lowest prices on crack, and how to contact certain diseases that modern medicine hasn't named yet.
Just kidding, come to the city and dinner is on me.

*Harvey hears the sounds of all the chit/chat members packing and making flight reservations*:lol:
lilhave 07-25-2006, 12:58 PM New York is really a great place to visit, don't know about living here. If your in to the theater, there are always 10 or 12 plays on broadway and dozens off Broadway. For the arts, you have all the major museums. My favorite is the museum of national history, can keep going back and of course the planatarium. Then the museum of modern art etc. Since the population is made up of so many ethic groups, whatever your food choices are, you will find a authentic extablishment for it. Then the statute of Liberty, the seaport, Radio city, Rockefeller Plaza, the village, Chinatown, little Italy, and all the dept. stores.
Let's have our first annual chit chit get together in New York City. I'll be the tour guide.

May take you up on that next year (vaction already spoken for this year). My sister won tickets from a local radio station in Feb and she loved it down there.
EmoJoe 07-25-2006, 01:52 PM either Florida or California
I'd go to Atlanta so I could visit my cousins. I haven't seen them in 4 years.

MsOrange 07-25-2006, 03:39 PM I think I would pick Las Vegas, Nevada
i'm going there in October :woohoo:
Some random residential town in the Midwest.
LuLu Rogers 07-25-2006, 08:17 PM NYC!!! I got to go there once, but I only got to stay for 2 days, so I'm dying to go back!! :D
Chocoholic 07-26-2006, 12:45 PM I'd go to Nashville and hang out with all the country stars.
Cactus Jack 07-26-2006, 01:09 PM NYC, California, Las Vegas or Chicago
Moonlight Lady 07-26-2006, 01:50 PM Southern California. Northern is nice but i've been there already. :)
I'd like to visit some of the coastal towns in California, maybe drive across
the Golden Gate Bridge.
tdf4077 02-25-2007, 04:48 PM Massachusettes....anywhere a Kennedy has been!!
Number 9 Dream 02-25-2007, 05:41 PM I'd take my best friend and I up to California, preferably Hollywood and the surrounding areas. We could visit all the celebrity hang-outs, take a trip to the beach, do a tour of haunted Hollywood (they do them in hearses! :eek: ) We'd have such a good time :)
Max Whittaker 02-25-2007, 08:45 PM Sanderson, TX. A tiny blip on the Texas landscape, and not really worth much at all. But it's a place I'd like to see again.
catlover79 02-25-2007, 11:26 PM I'd love to go to Atascadero, CA. One of my very best friends lives there, and I'd love to visit Brenda and her family. Maybe one of these days...:D
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 02-26-2007, 01:14 PM Los Angeles. I can go to NYC anytime since Im close enough.
Dude111 10-28-2022, 12:59 AM You just won a one week paid vacation to anywhere in the united States but only the lower 48. Just where would you spend it.Las Vages and hope I would come off a big winner! (Then I would go visit Carole :))
Yong Fang 10-28-2022, 08:48 AM I am an American and have set foot in roughly thirty of the fifty states, mainly all the Southeastern states except South Carolina, most of the Midwest (I like the Midwest, it doesnt get the love it deserves) and most of the Western states except Montana and Idaho, went to Colorado and Wyoming but was a small child then).
I want to take a Northeastern to New England trip. First, West Virginia. I have never been there but from looking at it the landscape is gorgeous but the people are desperately poor. There are actual "ghost towns" in WV, because when coal left, the people left. There are buildings, even a central square where there used to be stores and whatnot, but everyone literally left. It seems to me that the state could have skiing and resorts for the wealthy and lots of camping and hunting but I dont know. Rural Pennsylvania would be fun too.
New Jersey. I think this state gets a bad reputution but doing research on the state, there are some interesting places. Cape May at the southern tip of the state. The Pine Barrens which is basically a huge woodland that has never been cut down or developed. There are lots of small farming communities around there also. Then there is a town by the shore that is the Pinball Hall of Fame. Has over a hundred different pinball machines free to play with an admission price. Then go to the different locations of where The Sopranos was filmed, including the road in front of Satriales (Satriales is not there, it is a parking lot), maybe find where Tony's house is (its there in New Jersey). Have a pizza there. Would go to Yelp and the internet to do some research but want an independent pizza place ran by an Italian with a dirty apron who looks like Danny DeVito. PizzaWorld, the store front. That would rule.
Going to New York City maybe just for the night, do the tourist junk, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, the UN Building. Times Square, Chinatown. Would be aware of the crime, but my hometown is highly ranked in crime and I know to watch my back, but knowing that the odds of getting rolled unless you are unfortunate or drunk are low.
New England. Would go to Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. This time of the year, Fall. Would absolutely love it. Go to the coastline of Maine and get a huge ass lobster (no butter, please America) some corn on the cob and beer overlooking the Atlantic. Try to go up to upper Maine where it is really undeveloped.
Niagra Falls might be fun in New York.
Michigan, from Detroit all the way to the Mackinac Bridge to the Upper Peninsula.
GentlemanJim 10-28-2022, 12:48 PM I think that St George Utah get's my vote. I drove through there about 20 years ago, and really wish I had more time to spend there. Always wanted to go back.
Or, just spending a week driving up Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San Francisco, I did it in a day about 30 years ago, and went through several areas that I'd like to know better.
Caroline13 10-28-2022, 02:46 PM When I landed in So Calif at age 27 in 1967, I never had a desire for visiting other states, it's ALL here, mountains, desert, sea and so so so much to do. I finally visited Hawaii and a good experience but not to live.
MISST3 10-28-2022, 08:15 PM I'd like to cruise down the entire Mississippi River, before it dries up.
