By the way..........Santa Fe is a most open and welcoming place.....I have walked around the Plaza holding hands with my wife (at the time). There is no one gay area.....it's pretty integrated and the majority of all folks who live there could care less about queers.....dykes have been around there for at least 100 years........

edited to add: go in July/Aug....unless climate change has fucked it up.........just about every afternoon in July/Aug you can expect a big ole thunderstorm around 3:00-4:00pm....loud booming t-storms, lightening, sometimes hail....lasts about half hour to an hour then it's gone...........poof............

Has anyone been to Puerto Rico?

My sweetie and I were looking at a resort in PR that looks magnificent...I just wondered how gay friendly the area might or might not be.

Frontier Ranch, Kirkersville OH

If you are visiting Asheville but want a "cabin" getaway, we stayed here http://www.sunriselookout.com/ last August. It was so lovely, peaceful and well, the hottub on the deck, we never made it down to the camping group we had planned on meeting!

Its not "family owned" but we plan on another stay there in the near future. Its not too terribly far from Asheville.

Loved the Biltmore Estate !!! Asheville is extremely Queer Friendly .... Have lots of friends there ;)

travel agencies, etc

A discussion on another thread reminded me about this thread. Here are a few more alternatives to add to those mentioned earlier in this thread!

Happy travels folks!

oh my gay I almost forgot about this thread
 

Right down the highway from us....

Many place in Guernville, CA for lesbians to stay with several lesbian-owned businesses and eateries! And there is always Bolinas for the more hippy of us! I am getting so old!

We had looked at the Pearl's Rainbow earlier this year, but were tentative with the gulf spill. It looks like a really nice place. Hope the mess down there didn't screw up their tourist season.

We stayed at Pearl's for my birthday weekend a few years ago. It's a sweet little place. The rooms are a bit on the cozy side. The poolside bar scene is fun at night with karaoke and such. It's a great respite from the fratty, drunken hordes of Key West. It's clothing-optional and many women exercise that option. While drinking red wine. And singing in the hot tub. So I hear, anyway.:sunglass:

LMAO! So you hear??? Too funny! Thanks for the review! Mayhaps the lady and I will do that Key West adventure someday. We both looked at the site and were very impressed! Always great to hear first hand experience!

Perhaps this one too Chad BUMP BUMP............

My spouse and I were going to take a cruise with friends before she had her first stroke, but something come up and we didn't go. Now those friends have both passed away and my butch isn't well enough to travel. But I love reading about cruises to Aruba, Thailand, Bahamas, etc.

I LOVE Cruises! I also love PTOWN and Florida.

On Cruises everyone is too busy enjoying their vacation to worry about you... and then there are some good peeps that you can stay in touch with.

PTOWN is just awesome, everything about it except the prices.

Florida is just fun (but I have never been there in the summer)

2 year wedding anniversary
 

Anyone have ideas for a good vacation. My wife and I will be married 2 years at the end of July and are wanting tho go some where. We just don't want to pay nearly 200 a night for a room. We live in Kentucky and don't want to drive more than 6 or 7 hours. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello Kristopher; Are you too far away from Chicago? Hostels, I just read, were going for $75.00 a night, and some are private. Just type in Vacation Chicago. Or, you can check out the Indiana dunes where I live. If you can rent something to sleep in, I can offer you free parking here. I can also offer you free access to a place to cook, bathe, and a toilet, for a week. Our B&B has already been rented for the entire summer. :)
