Girlfriend and I are looking to get away this August, and we're looking for destinations. We want to spend ~10 days relaxing, experiencing some natural beauty, being warm, eating delicious food (both of the restaurant variety and the pick-up-bread-and-cheese-from-the-local-vendor variety) and generally unplugging from day-to-day life. Not big partiers, but we'd frequent the local cafe/pub. Something like a little cottage in the south of France would be our dream, but we're working with a budget of ~$4000 all-inclusive, so France may have to wait. We're 30ish and live in Boston. Idea us please!

San Francisco Bay Area (and CA) - can you think of any mysterious, or interesting or secret places? Legends/myths? Strange rewards for a bit of driving, or walking, or an Expedition
TM of Discovery, etc? Difficulty: not looking for woo, or establishments of commerce, no-matter how good hole-in-the-wall-food may be :) Examples inside...

“ I like doing things more than seeing things” our 11 year old granddaughter (tweener) told us when we were talking about fun trips. Any thoughts about a destination that an 11 year old girl would enjoy and her grandparents could believe she would be learning something about different parts of her country (US). She’s been to Florida and California, but not much of the Northeast (except for NYC) or the MidWest. She does like scenery but is much more into going someplace every day and having an agenda of events that are different each day - yet staying in the same ”home base” hotel. Enjoys arts and crafts, music, and museums but not sitting on the beach.

The future Mrs. timing and I have been pondering where & how we'd like to get married. One of the options we're considering is a destination wedding in or near the coastal redwoods in northern California (around Crescent City and Eureka). The catch is that we live in Chicago.

Trying to figure out the prefect trip for late July. So far my top two choices are Upstate New York and Montana. I'm not set on either but we have family in Milton and Cold Spring NY and I have heard that Montana is nice in the summer. I'd love any and all suggestions. We are in Texas so we are looking for a cool climate break (70s or 80s are ideal). Also we will have our 5 month old with us.

The last few years of my life have been fairly difficult for any number of reasons. But things are finally looking up: in May I'll finally graduate with my long sought-after PhD, and I have one firm job offer and a few tentative ones, any of which I'd take in a heartbeat. As a present to myself for making it through, I want to take a few weeks and do some traveling. I'm American and would like to go someplace new and exotic and international. The only question: where?

Spanish aggro rap sing-yelling over Alex Gaudino's 'Destination Calibria' horn hook. I heard this briefly, probably on LA's Power 108, as I scrolled through radio stations the other month and I can't get it out of my mind. Who's the artist and what's the song called?
