I hope the background music is Moon River.
Surely better places to eat unless it has some fancy dining hall and it's about the atmosphere?
We are headed to Quebec for a week to attend a music festival. After that wandering thru Nova Scotia and North East US, ending in Boston. Spending a couple days in Boston visiting our son (lives in Cambridge) and outlaws who live in a small town outside of Boston. Also hitting a Red Sox ball game while we are there.
My first time in North east Canada and US.
After 5 trips to Europe in 3 1/2 years, we are staying close to home. Going back to the North Georgia.Mountains next week to stay in our RV.
In Malawi for the third time in 9 months.
What brings you back there?
Not sure how far North you are going, but if you are going up towards Traverse City, the Glen Haven/Glen arbor area are beautiful - lighthouses, Sleeping Bear Dunes Nat'l Park, and many things to do/see in Traverse City area. If you venture further North, Charlevoix/Petoskey/Harbor Springs all have great downtowns and waterfronts to explore, and take M119 the "Tunnel of Trees" north 25 miles from Harbor Springs to Legs in in Cross Village, beautiful drive along the shore bluffs, Legs Inn is great dining (mid price) with outdoor patio and gardens on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. All Beautiful!Husband and I are looking to take a driving trip along the west edge of Michigan........parks, beaches, lighthouses, sand dunes. We will be entering the state from the south. Any REALLY special places to see, stop, or stay ? We like 'people-watching' a day or so at the beach catching some sun. We are 'walkers', in other words we don't do strenuous hiking, but like to go for a couple mile walk seeing "stuff". Not into fancy-smanchy food, but into good local home cooking.
Suggestions ! Thanks.
Just booked a round trip business class from SFO to London for just under $2600 for next April and May. It's a sale on United, BA and Virgin Atlantic and some others.
Gonna look for a separate flight to somewhere warmer than the UK though.
+100 for Business Class. We have been flying BA LAX-LHR on Business Class and love it. One of the benefits is the Lounges at each end. At LAX on the 5th floor is a beautiful lounge to get away from the commotion in the Bradley Terminal.Is that for a direct flight to LHR? I don't see any direct flight deals from LAX like that for next May. We are leaving tomorrow for London on Virgin Atlantic but the fare was just over $3700 each for the LAX to LHR leg for non-refundable business class. We booked in January.

The lounge at LHR is wonderful also. On our last flight home, they put us in a jitney and drove us under all the runways to our gate. It was an experience.
DW loves Business Class as she can sleep on her side.

You have to play around with the dates. It's not valid for certain days of the week so I fly from Tuesday and return on a Thursday, 3 weeks later.
But if I tried to return on Friday instead, the fare goes up.
And I'm not taking a nonstop in this case from SFO-LHR because I want to arrive there early in the morning to connect with the separate flight.
There are two nonstops for SFO-LHR each day and only one of them is on sale and that's the one that arrives at 14:10, whereas the one that arrives at 6:55 is not on sale.
But for the return, I got a nonstop.
DW and I got married on Santorini, and after the ceremony we toured the island. May I suggest a great restaurant named Gallini, which is near the airport.. London has direct flights to Santorini and we always like visiting London plus driving in England is a blast. I'm actually getting used to shifting with my left hand.
