Got a free flight credit from Alaskan Airlines for a round trip to anywhere they fly (mostly america some parts of mexico) I'm from Vancouver and would to go explore somewhere different and interesting, thinking Portland, San fransico, Austen but pretty much down for whatever, so if you guys had a free flight where to?

I mean I guess it depends on how much you are willing to spend there. If I had a free flight AND enough money for a decent vacation I'd go somewhere like Hawaii.

Ya I'm thinking Hawaii, seeing those waves on the northshore of ohau would be deadly! Im not strapped for cash but it would be more of a budget trip, i enjoy staying in hostels anyways, i always like going to places locals love too not a huge fan of tourist spots.

Alaska. possibly the most beautiful place in the states. glacier bay, denali, kitchener, haines, juneau. all absolutely beautiful. there are many things to discover up there, even about yourself.

Sanfransisco is a sick ass city, id go there since you could easliy drive to seattle or portland from vancouver. All four of those cities are my favorite ones ive ever been to in north america and the only metropolises i would want to live in, vancouver being at the top of the list. Hawaii is also awesome. Fuck the east coast...

He lives in Vancouver, fuck Alaska.

Go somewhere that isn't the same climate at least like Mexico or somewhere awesome. Also, when are you planning on going? Could you save it for winter?

if you want food new york or portland, if you want to do fun stuff then go to SOCAL, but there is always good stuff to do anywhere.

Alaska does sound interesting just because I've done the Honolulu/mexico/LA/Orlando thing, any spot in Alaska in particular, Anchorage? Fairbanks? Juneau? leaning towards Hawaii cause its a wicked flight deal and i could explore somewhere less touristy, although staying there for a week or so could be pricey,, the voucher is good untill the end of april

depends, like a lot of places plenty of good and bad things. I try and stay the fuck away from touristy places. I live inland generally so being able to stop at a random break at any point up route 1.


Any place get's boring if you're there to long. I live in place that people come from all over the country to visit. Was cool but eventually got old and became meh. Driving around the country see some mountains and it's like wow those mountains are beautiful. Then I was thinking, fuck where I live is awesome too.


That was the adks in ny. North conway I would have prolly gone nuts if I was still there through the summer.
