I was talking to a patient today about our winter excursions.
Poor thing...I wholeheartedly recommended Costa Rica for his wife and his annual retreat. Lets just say, it wasn't all they dreamed of. I don't take back my recommendation at all, although maybe next time i'll be more selective in whom i tell. Maybe it's just for someone who is more in the mood for adventure, or someone who can deal with "bars on the windows" (oooo soo scary!). But I'm not here to tell you their story, or talk you out of (or into) visiting
Costa Rica, rather I introduce him because I was talking to him about my next trip, well at least, 'an upcoming trip', and it led to all this...
My next road trip would include driving west through New Orleans and Arizona (i mention these two b/c I'd like to stop and enjoy the culture of these two places, but I know that more states would obviously be included). Then North to the Grand Canyon to do some white water rafting and hiking....and who knows MAYBE I'll end up in Vegas for a couple days. ;)
Anyways, he was talking to me about visiting California and the Redwoods. It's always been appealing to me but never at the top of my bucket list. But look at this...it looks amazing, and I know that pictures never do beautiful scenery justice.

Then he mentioned visiting Western Canada for the landscape and even a
"Heli Glacier Walk"! Yes. You go in a helicopter, they land on a glacier, and you take a hike...ON A GLACIER!
So, I'm tempted to do some more research on what places, people, and parks are accessible by car (or helicopter)
Where do you want to go? What do you want to see? What do you want to do?
