The West
Vancouver, BC, Canada: Undiscovered Gem! (so
stay away! :P
Anchorage, AK area: Is this still the US?
Cambria, CA: California coastal retreat
Honolulu, HI
- Quick, cheap place to eat: Yummy Korean BBQ
This is a chain -- one in
the Kamehameha Shopping Center, one in the Ala Moana Mall food court, others
elsewhere. Big, delicious plate of food for under $5.
- Place to Dessert: Bubbie's
You won't leave with a straight face. All
desserts are named with a sexual innuendo. But their homemade ice cream is
great. Just don't blame me when you order the Bite Me.
Volcano Village, HI
- Place to Eat: Thai Thai
In a very small town without much there, this
was a gem for us. Yummy Thai food.
- Thing to Do: go into Volcanoes Park and hike the Kilauea Iki trail, a
4-mile loop through rainforest and across a crater. My favorite hike in the
park.
Seattle, WA: once a nice place, ruined by the
internet industry.
Jackson Hole, WY
- Place to Eat: Bubba's Barbecue
All right, so it's been 15 years since I
ate here. But I have fond, fond memories of their food. Especially the
chocolate buttermilk pie.
- Thing to Do: drive north not too far and hit Grand Teton National Park.
Just as charming as Yellowstone without all the crowds.

In The Middle
Unfortunately the last time I was in the midwest for an extended time, I was about 10. I can't
remember much!!

East Coast
Great Neck, NY
- Place to Eat: Scotto's Pizza and Restaurant
Along the main drag in
Great Neck is a restaurant and pizzeria owned by the Scotto family. The best
Italian food I've had outside of Italy. What else can I say? Very reasonable
prices for all that you get. Wonderful homemade noodles. YUMMMM.
Princeton, NJ: "You're from Jersey? What exit
number?"
Mystic, CT: Much more than Mystic Pizza!
Washington, DC: Full Of Tourists!
