And some lists…
If you have followed Travel Blissful, you probably know that I love lists.
Last year, the American Automobile Association listed the top ten walking-friendly U.S. and Canadian cities. The results were as follows:
1. Old Town Alexandria (Virginia)
2. Boston
3. New Orleans
4. Downtown Los Angeles
5. Washington
6. Charleston
7. St. Augustine
8. Old Québec City
9. Greenwich Village
10. San Francisco
New York Times listed The 53 Places to Go in 2008. Apparently, Vietnam and Cambodia are sooo 2007. Rather travel to Laos, and Vientiane, and enjoy boat cruises down the Mekong river. Lisbon came second, Tunisia third, and Mauritius fourth. Thanks to Latin America’s first five-star gay (and “heterofriendly”) hotel Axel Hotel Buenos Aires, the 27th place went to Buenos Aires. Luckily they didn’t overlook New York City (53rd spot). The Broadway strike is settled and new shows have scheduled their premieres. Lovers of street theater will find what they look for in the Meatpacking District.
Since it’s almost Valentine’s Day, let’s end this post with a bit of romance. In December, the staff at Frommers picked the Most Romantic Travel Destinations. If Southern California, Boston, Patagonia, Angkor Wat, and Costa Rica sound appealing to you, head over to Frommers to read the article.
