These are among my favorite places visited (note that this doesn't include places where I visited my classmates, simply because it's a given that those places are obviously worth going to just because of getting to see said classmates again - grin!):

Toronto, Ontario, Canada - I'm not quite as fond of it as I used to be, since downtown now has a flashy, Times Square feel to it, but there are still lots of places to go and things to do while there.  You now need a passport to go, but it's worth it.  If you do go, check out the following: the islands that are just across the water (they're mostly public parks and offer an interesting contrast to the bustle of the city, since they still seem little-known); Casa Loma; the CN Tower and Rogers Centre (formerly the Skydome); the CNE in August (known to locals as the Ex, it's the Canadian National Exhibition, not unlike the World's Fair, only modern); all the different areas of the city reflecting various nationalities (believe me, you'll know when you're in each); Eaton Centre (if you like the glitz and the flash); Yonge Street; the University of Toronto; and Maple Leaf Gardens (if just to see the old building - the new hockey arena is just around the corner), to name a few.  There are plenty of B&Bs that are reasonably-priced, which I'd recommend over the hotels, which are more expensive and are often not even as nice.  I've loved Toronto enough to have been there seven times, and I'm sure I'll go there again.  (By the way, almost everyone there is fluent in English, so you won't have to worry about it like you might in Montreal.)

Boston, Massachusetts - I've been here four times now, I think, and if there was a place in the US that's as trendy as Toronto, this would be it.  There's a lot of history to the place, but it's also a hip joint to check out.  Places to see:  The Granary Burying Ground (one of the oldest cemeteries in the country, there are several noted historic figures laid to rest here, including Samuel Adams and relatives of Benjamin Franklin); the Holocaust memorial (it's not as big as the one in DC but nevertheless left me shaking when I got through it); the Bell in Hand (the nation's oldest pub); Samuel Adams Brewery (in nearby Jamaica Plain); Salem (about a half-hour or so north of Boston - Hallowe'en is crazy up there!); the original Cheers (which was the Bull and Finch beforehand) and the one at Fanueil Hall (for that matter, check out Fanueil Hall); Boston Common; Harvard and MIT; and the south side of Boston (there are a lot of good restaurants and pubs there).  Enjoy - I did!

Key West, Florida - I've been there twice now, and if it wasn't as pricey and as far away, I'd go again.  For as small as it is, there's lots to do, and it's about as close to looking like you're in the Carribean without actually being there.  And yes, you can still find reasonable hotel rates even there (the northern part of Key West is cheaper, since it's about three miles from downtown).  Places of interest: mile marker 0; the buoy marking the southernmost point in the continental US; the Hemingway Home; Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville; Mallory Square; Duval Street; and the keys outside of Key West (the Bahia Honda key has a state park where it's only $3.00 per person in a vehicle, and the water is crystal clear); oh, and Tower of Pizza in Key Largo has some killer slices!

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming - Even without having had the chance to see Old Faithful, what I did get to see there was amazing.  Having moose, buffalo, wolves, and all sorts of other wildlife all around you along with the vastness of it all was nothing short of exhilarating.  If you do go, though, make sure you stay across the border in Montana, because the only three or four hotels the park has have outrageous rates - go across the line and there are tons, all with competetive rates.  (If you're on the other side of the park, try the hotels in Idaho - I would suspect it's the same way there.)  Speaking of Wyoming, if you're there, check out Shell Falls, which is just outside of Coty - only make sure you fill up in Sheridan or Coty beforehand!

Snoqualmie Falls, Washington - Whether you're a "Twin Peaks" fan or not, these falls, while not as massive as the ones at Niagara, are still worth taking a look at, simply because hiking the woods around the area is worth it as well.  The Salish Lodge (which was The Great Northern in the show) is definitely not cheap - you're probably better off staying somewhere near or in Seattle.  And since the falls are only about 20 minutes away anyway, check out some of the stuff in Seattle while you're there:  the Space Needle; Pike Place Market; and Seahawk Stadium.

Provincetown, Massachusetts - it's a small town, but it's nice if you're looking to kick back and relax, and it's right on Cape Cod, so you're not going to have to go far to get there if that's where you want to go.  As long as you're going off-season, the room rates aren't too bad, and it's a day trip from Boston anyhow, so if you're looking for something to do with a coastline, it's a good choice.

Lake Winipesaukee, New Hampshire - this lake makes Raystown look small by comparison!  I had never been further north than Massachusetts until a couple of years ago, but this place is amazing.  There is at least one boat rental place there (I'm sure there are more), and just going around the lake and taking it all in is worth the trip alone.  I understand there are some really good ski resorts there as well, but as I went in the fall and have never gone skiing, I wouldn't know myself.  As far as finding a place to stay, well, you're on your own as far as how rates go, as I stayed with a friend of a friend who had her own summer place nearby and have no idea as to how they run up there.  It is beautiful though.

Orlando, Florida - I'm not one for being too touristy, but everyone has to go see the Mouse at least once, if not just for their kids' sakes!  (I've always been a Tigger fan myself, though.) Having friends that worked there and at Universal Studios didn't hurt me either - I've been to Disney four times and never had to pay a cent, thus further proving that yes, free is good.  The Everglades are not too far away, and definitely worth a look-see, especially at sunset (again, make sure you have enough gas).

Vero Beach, Melbourne Beach, Cocoa Beach, Sebastian and Melbourne, Florida - Even though my sister lives in Vero, the place itself is actually a good one to go if you don't want to deal with crowds of tourists.  There are three beaches (that I know of) there, and the weather is nice since Vero is about halfway down the coast.  Moreover, Cocoa Beach isn't too far from there (about an hour), so if you wanted to check out Kennedy Space Center or the original Ron Jon Surf Shop, it's pretty much a stone's throw.  Melbourne and Melbourne Beach  (about 40 minutes north of Vero) are nice because again, they aren't terribly touristy and have nice beaches as well (my mom and Jake stayed up there a couple of winters ago).  Other places of interest: Captain Hiram's Resort in Sebastian (near Vero) - a sand bar/restaurant with good food and bands; the botanical gardens at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne (it's like being in the jungle!); Costa d' Este, near Humiston Park in Vero (it's Gloria Estefan's new hotel); and nearby Jaycee Beach.  Another interesting bit:  Arlo Guthrie lives in Sebastian.

O`ahu, Hawai`i - Even though I did get beaten up while I was there back in 2001, O`ahu isn't such a bad place as long as you know where and when to go.  The North Beach area is good if you're a surfer or just like to watch them, Mount Pali is definitely worth checking out, and just driving around the island is worth doing if you have a rental car.  Honolulu can be rough, especially at night, so you might want to avoid going there, and as the whole island is crammed with tourists, you might not get such a warm welcome when it comes to the locals there.  Moreover, everything there is pretty expensive, so make sure you budget well for your trip when you go.  Finally, as O`ahu has been the main tourist island for a long time now, it has somewhat diminished in its natural beauty as a result - you might want to check out Maui or the Big Island if you want more out of your trip.

Well, that's it for now - if I can think of any other places, I'll make sure to post 'em!
