They were indeed blooming really late, but they don't call it the Rose City for nothin'.
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Looks like rain tomorrow in our fair city o Roses. Perfect day for pedicures!
What about Provincetown or Martha's Vineyard?

Transportation for either of those would be an enormous pain.
Plus, finding affordable housing that is not camping (since I know how many buffistas feel about camping) in the most crowded time of the year in two of the most expensive vacation areas in the country would be difficult. Pity, though. They both rock.
Cereal: hmm...if I were to pimp se ct and plan it from afar, would anyone be interested? Amazing beaches, parks, museums (including Mystic Seaport) and the two biggest casinos in the country would all be within driving distance. I'd have to find us one of the hotels a bit away from the water, but I bet I could swing something. We'd have to have a few cars in most areas if we wantto avoid outpricing ourselves in the nicer areas.
Eh, yeah, but what a beautiful beach location, right? I've never been, but it would seem so.
How about luxury hut to hut hiking? [link]

PixKristin, where, Connecticut? I'm in already, anyway. I love the thought of something that isn't in the middle of a big city. Seriously, if the price is right, it's a great location, and there are beds, showers, and internet, and it's got accessibility, isn't that the bottom line?

How about luxury hut to hut hiking?
No.
We have a fair number of mobility impaired Buffistas, so anything hiking or similar is out for the main F2F.
SE CT = southeastern Connecticut, yes. I would love to show people around my home stomping grounds, but transportation is always an issue. Getting there wouldn't be too bad with several airports and the awesomely reliable Amtrak and commuter rail, but transportation between a hotel and area attractions would require car rentals since the places that are super walkable would be too expensive in the summer. The easy access is the main reason we tend to end up in cities.
