An event that I was planning to work at this year, for my "vacation", has been canceled. I'm therefore left with no vacation plans. My work schedule can be relatively flexible at this point, so I don't have to take that pre-scheduled time off, I can schedule it for any time this year except October... so I'm looking for suggestions. My problem is that I don't have any idea what I do want to do, I just know what doesn't sound good to me.
Ohio's Hocking Hills are my back yard, so anything involving destinations in Ohio (particularly if they are geared toward scenic wonder) is absolutely ruled out. I usually go to Chicago and visit with friends/family for a week or two every year as a vacation... it's an easy drive for me, and I don't mind driving out there by myself frequently, as I know the people I'm seeing and, to some extent, where I'm going. I'm thinking that perhaps something else is in order for this year.
I don't like to see the outdoors, really couldn't care less about the ocean, beach, canyons, etc. I don't like the south because of warm temperatures (I like it cold). Technology-geared stuff is up my alley... museums, urban exploration, businesses/factories with tours, etc. I'll be by myself on this vacation, nobody is going with me. My budget is at most a couple thousand, though I want to do this as inexpensively as possible.
In short:
Less than $1,500 for everything
Not Ohio: I'm tired of this state
Not Washington DC: going there later this year
Not Orlando, FL: going there later this year
Not Louisville, KY: going there later this year
Not Chicago, IL: been there, done that
Not Nashville, TN: been there, done that
Not Gatlinburg, TN: been there, done that
Not a fan of roller coasters, the outdoors, scenery.
Nowhere outside of US/CAN.
So far, Seattle or Montreal sounds good.
