Travel

Pending: 100 miles drive (to The Needles?). Need AWD, permit and min 2 days.

Seems to be awesome. Rafting until mid july. Some hikes here. July/August seems to be the best time. Expensive flights to Glacier Park International Airport, 10 hour drive from seattle. Also: The pros about coming in summer are that most of the trails are open, the flowers are blooming and the weather is nice (usually).July and August is our summer.

Saturday Night Market at Arpora. Anjuna flea market, every Wednesday? Stroll along the Mala & Fontainhas, Goa’s historic Latin Quarters. Reis Magos Fort? Fort overlooking Mandovi river has been beautifully restored into a cultural centre with a museum. Spice plantation tour in Ponda? Savoi Plantations- http://www.savoiplantation.com/ South Goa beaches like Agonda, Betul or Palolem. Try Palolem at least. Maybe Agonda again. Saligao – North Goa- rural way of life along with the touristic buzz on the beaches. Local life of Goa. Cabo De Rama Fort- amongst one of the oldest Portuguese establishments. Kayaking: http://goakayaking.com/ Churches in old Goa: Church of Santa Monica. Church of our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Panjim. Local food: https://the-shooting-star.com/2013/09/27/best-goan-restaurants-in-goa/ Crocodile spotting: http://www.johnboattours.com/CrocodileSpotting.html Salcete, the old Portuguese heartland of Goa. Jila Bakery? Assagao, a picturesque valley village a few miles inland from Anjuna beach, which in recent years has grown into something of a creative hub. Gunpowder restaurant here.

Don’t fucking go to Las Vegas: it’s a useless city. Everything at The Strip is unnecessarily expensive. (For e.g., beer in any pub costs ~$10 or more and the same is the case with food.) There’s nothing much to do in the city other than hanging around in casinos - and how much can you even do that? I’ve already seen 2 shows and the last one, Ka by Cirque du Soleil, was a waste of money. There might be better ways to enjoy shows, such as attending music concerts or plays in Seattle. Night clubs are pretty expensive and have lesser ROI than going to them in the city you live in.

Nearby Malibu - 1 hour away. Probably expensive and not much to do there because film stars live there. Six Flags. Santa Catalina Island - stay is a bit expensive and getting there might be a bit tricky. So, plan early. Joshua National Park.

To go: Sunrise Area and Ohanapecosh.

Things left to do Walk/cycle across Brooklyn Bridge. Guggenheim Museum. Greenwich Village. Niagara Falls. Top of Empire State or Rockefeller Building. Free tickets for Jimmy Fallon Show (Saturday Night Live). Statue of Liberty - try to get tickets to go up to its crown. Highline + Chelsea Market. Could repeat Met Museum. The Halal Guys.

Good hikes on All Trails website. Lodging: https://glacierpeakresortandwinery.com

Left to checkout Hurricane Ridge. 1-2 stops along Crescent Lake. Hoh Rainforest: I already did the two short hikes here. What remains is the 18 mile trail along the river. Sol Duc Falls and the nearby hot springs. (Apparently, the waterfall is very beautiful.) Maybe go to La Push if I am on far west near Forks. Hoh River Trail backpacking ~35 miles roundtrip. Mostly flat without a lot of elevation gains. Bunch of campsites along the way, so can stop anywhere you want. July-August (and maybe June and September) are better times when it doesn’t rain. What’s the bear situation? Hike to the end, Blue Glacier, is a day hike and involves serious elevation gain. Hoh River Trail - Backpacking/Camping | RootsRated ...
