I grew up moving every few years. This conversation reminds me of the joke where the guy asks the old-timer what kind of folks live in the town up ahead. Old-timer asks him what kind of folks lived in the last town - same kind just ahead. The point being that your experiences completely influence your perception.

Personally my favorite vacation spot is as far north on the Outer Banks as possible. My butt is parked by the pool or on the beach. Any sightseeing might be done on the way to or from vacation.

Boston (Have lived there, love the old world charm)
Hyannisport (Where I got engaged, so for memories sake)
Washington DC

Least:

Detroit (No comment)
Newark, NJ (too New Yorkish without the charm, but has plenty of bad attitude)
Atlantic City (nothing to do but gamble and hello- I'd rather spend my money on something worthwhile

Faves:

1. Portland, Oregon, hands-down: livable, beautiful, laid-back, the perfect size, Seattle and S.F. are close
2. Boston -history, architecture
3. NY, NY - anything for anyone at any time.

The worst:

1. Grand Rapids, MI - cheesy furniture stores, not much else.
2. L.A. - a hell-hole
3. any town in Idaho - scary, backwards people

Sorry if I offended anyone...

Loads of character and culture and great for walking.

Least favorites:
1. Houston

Houston is too smoggy and conservative; Dallas is too snooty and elitist; Las Vegas has too much cigarette smoke.

I definitely prefer either coast and am not crazy about the mid-west.

3. ???

Favorites in no order:
Dallas--I live here & the people are great, lots of cultural activities, volunteerism, convenient airport to get places, sports, no state income tax
Washington, D.C.--how can anyone go to D.C. and not be proud and excited about the U.S.
San Antonio--great city to visit
San Francisco--beautiful, multi-cultural

Don't have a dislike list because each city is unique and it is up to me to find the good.

1. Burlington, Vermont -- small city with the magical appeal of a large one. Great shops, restaurants and views of the Adirondacks. Minutes away from Stowe and Sugarbush! A great college town, too!

2. Orlando - so much fun for all. We love Disney because it is fun for every age.

3. Washington, DC because of the great museums and the wonderful walking.

4. San Francisco, need I say more?

Favorite:
New Orleans
San Francisco
Key Largo
