Vacation to California or BosWash?

I live in Toronto and I'm planning to go on a vacation in the Spring (end of April, beginning of May) for a couple of weeks and I was wondering if I should go to BosWash or California? I've sort of been to both, but here I'll let you guys know: BosWash - The only place I've been between Boston and Washington is New York City. I've seen most of NYC and been to all its boroughs in a week. I heard getting around the cities in the Northeast US is cheap. I want to visit Boston, NYC for a bit again, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and maybe Virginia Beach. The only problem is that Baltimore, Washington and Philly seem like dangerous cities to visit. California - I went to California last year for a week (Los Angeles for 3 days, San Francisco for 4 days). I didn't get to see everything, so I want to visit again. If I go, I'm planning to see SF again, Sacremento, maybe the central coast/wine valley, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. The only thing is, I can't drive in the U.S. right now and it would make my trip in L.A. a lot more fun if I could. So what do you guys think? Should I go to BosWash or California this spring? :)

Good, sweet red wines...?

With the chilly weather finally setting in here in central Texas it is time for me to put away the beer and warm up to the wine. I love a chilly night with several glasses of wine, it is so warming and yummy - ah the warm head sensation. I prefer reds to white wine, but don't discriminate with alcohol much. I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I have had the pleasure of a wine tour through Napa Valley so I have some knowledge of the wines, but not the brands as much and I love experimenting with wine. It is rare for me to purchase the same bottle, but I do have a small list of favorites. My preference are sweet reds, ports are of course great and shiraz has been my current companion. So please tell me what are some great red wines to try and if there is a food that you really like them with. My recommendation to share, Escape Shiraz a very sweet, affordable wine! Worth the try! I do like reisling when I go white. The shiraz is great with some spice the sweet of sets it, but is equaly good with a truffle or berries. Well thank you for the correction, I feel so helped. I am well aware of where to find recommendations, how google works and even go to some wine and cheese tastings... Ohh and those guys at central market are always a great help too as are the cards next to the wine that tells you what the tasters thought and describes the wine. No they are generally sweeter than a Cab I know what I like and Shiraz is one of them and it is an Australian wine and in Texas it should be chilled as optimum serving temp is 64 degrees. Sorry, but I don't like it when people assume that others are dumb. And you know the best bottles I have had were given to me or recommended, I have one friend who has a differnent pallette than I and he and I don't agree, but my girl-friends are pretty much always helpful. So if my bests are recommendations then I figured maybe someone else might have some wines that I would enjoy... hmm. I actually don't generally care for zinfandels, I prefer a more full bodied wine.

Going to Sydney for 8 days, how's this looking?

Ok me and my girlfriend coming in early August, both fit, late 20's, staying roughly in the Darling Harbour area, here's what we got so far... price EXCLUDES lodging, food, and drinks. Day 1 Begins early 8am ish, head to Darling Harbour, check out the Royal Botanical Gardens, Art Gallery of New South Wales, shops, restaurant the opera house, walk over the harbour bridge (not doing the climb, on a tight budget. Once over the bridge, i draw a blank? I know I've been in some cities when you cross the bridge their ain't too much, so any suggestions at this point? Night 1 the Aquarium. Cost: $62.00 ASD (aquarium) Day 2 The blue mountains, want to see Katoomba falls, this fall aboutaustralia.com/a2it_package/… the caves, and whatever wildlife we can spot. Ok, question 1, walk way, cable way, sky ride? Can we get by with just a rental car and good hiking shoes? Speaking of rental cars, looks like cost of the train is over $40ASD each, so logic tells me we should just rent a car? We'd like to get there at sunrise, leave at sunset (can we do that stuff in that time?). Back to Sydney, night 2, bars! Cost $80-??? ASD (car or train+bus) Day 3 Assuming we rented the car... UIuru, Hunter Valley for the wine stuff, or Jervis Bay, whale watch or just enjoy an isolated beach. Probable overnight stay here. COST: Rental Car. Day 4 Return the car. Take the ferry to Manly beach, do the Manly to spit bridge walk. I know it's August, but i'm thinking of doing it polar bear style and jumping in some of the rock pools along the way if applicable. Okay we're at the spit bridge, now what? Night 3, dinner or drinks around the rocks. Cost: $14.00 ASD Manly Ferry Day 5 Back to the beach, from central station take the 374 bus to Coogee Beach (no transfers right?) head to Coogee, walk to Bondi Beach. Put on my polar bear costume, rent surf board and wet suit, brave the water for whatever I can tolerate. Anything else while here? Take bus back to darling harbour. Night 5 Kings Cross. Bus best bet here for transport? Cost: $8 transport, $25 wet suit and board rental Day 6 Suggestions welcome? Night 6, looking for some romantic suggestions, nice evening walk, good restaurant? etc. Day 7 OPEN in case new stuff pops up. Day 8 Enjoy Darling Harbour till about 1pm before Returning to United States. Cost: Don't know. Additional ?'s August what time is sunset? Is the 7 day pass worth it based on my itinerary, or do you think it's better to pay as we go? What's the best option for currency exchange (got screwed not doing my homework for this in Tokyo)?
