Camping?? Uh, no. I HAVE gone river rafting in Colorado, though to please my daughter and husband. Sports? I could break a nail! Hahahaha Again, no. We travel in early summer because I'm a teacher. We do sometimes go for spring break but the weather can be less nice than June. Thanks for all the great ideas. I just wish I could stay away from surfing the net for places to stay in Santorini!!!! My husband is giving me the evil eye because it was just a month ago that I told him I didn't need to go to Europe next summer and I'm starting to talk about Greece. I've gotta find another hobby!

Agree with Quebec-City and Montreal, the language and food considerations would make those two top contenders for me. Sausalito in San Francisco area had the most European feel on the West Coast for me, you might consider San Diego/La Jolla as well;
New York, of course;
perhaps, Bar Harbor, ME for a more rural, "sleepy" but somehow European feel

I have to agree with the posters who have mentioned Montreal. My brother and I were there a few years ago and had a great time. I would also recommend, as did others, New Orleans and Savannah. Great cities that I would definitely go back to. Both had that old time (world) charm to them. You also might want to consider Vancouver, BC.

As for other places in the U.S., I don't know if it has a European feel to it, but definitely visit Philadelphia for the history. Of course, since I have lived my entire life in the Philly suburbs I could be a little biased.

Other places I would recommend would be Bar Harbor, ME or anywhere in Alaska if you like the outdoors and quiet, slow paced life. San Antonio, TX is another great choice.

After returning from Spain, Prague and Croatia this June, I have to say that I really love the Pacific NW. Although our public transportation can't even compare (Seattle's especially), Portland is home to some fabulous restaurants that really emphasize local resources - very similar to the uniqueness we found in Spain and Croatia.

The scenery is absolutely gorgeous; there are wineries, oceans, mountains, orchards, farms, shopping, great cities, beautiful small towns, and everything in between. The Oregon Coast is a wonderful way to spend a week. Visit fishing villages, take a crabbing boat, stay in a beachside cottage, take a glass-blowing class, and feast on all the fresh seafood you can find. mmmm....

Just my two cents...
