And the travel winner is…
(Okay, we have not been blogging recently. Our internet connection was very iffy, but now we seem to have resolved those issues.)
After reviewing travel options for our nine-day excursion, we have decided to choose - ta da da da dah da!-
IDAHO!
Our choice of Idaho was for the following reasons:
- We have never been there.
- They sent us information very quickly – we like responsiveness!
- We know images can be enhanced, but the stunning views of mountains and lakes were irresistible.
- After living in the Arizona desert, an abundance of lakes, waterfalls and rivers will be a welcome change.
- The scenic byways sound entrancing and the diversity of climates is always a great idea if you want to see a lot in very little time.
- Boise sounds like our idea of a great city to visit. A university town, that always seems to add something special to the life of a community. “A vibrant downtown bordered by a 25-mile greenbelt and seven grand parks, line the city’s waterfront.” (Although there is a punctuation/grammatical error there, we get the point.)
- My husband wants to get some golfing in. Idaho has an abundance of that.
- Towns with names like “Bliss,” “Eden” and “Cascade” are so evocative we can’t resist.
- We once met a Coeur d’Alene resident who couldn’t say enough great things about the city. We want to see Coeur d’Alene – scenery, culture and golf – sounds almost too good to be true!
10. After looking randomly at the Idaho Web site, I was hooked! www.visitidaho.org
More to come as we refine our travel adventure!
