Well that was damn expensive so we ditched that plan and decided on NY. That was better bacause at Al's concert in Feb. he spoke to us. Not literally of course, but the opening number was "In Brooklyn" so we knew it was a sign from Al. Good thing too since the plane tickets had been purchased.

Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
