Most romantic breathtaking place in North America to meet the New Year 2010 for a married couple?
Hey there good people,
I am so puking bored with the party options that are being offered in my area (Washington, DC). Every year it’s same old, same old – trying to small talk with people we will never meet again over dinner or cocktails and a few long term friends, getting drunk towards the midnight, and then leaving the hotel at noon the next day.
I wanna meet this new coming year someplace really cool with my husband. Please help me out here, I need some input from either you well-traveled folks or you with a good imagination.
I want this new year to be really different!!!
We are both very fit and like moderate extreme, so it could be an adventure. We are not at all tied to the area (for all we know, we could meet the New Year in Alaska), however we cannot travel outside of the US this year.
Web links are welcome!
Thanks!
Do you HAVE to “party” ??! If You DON’T, and if you’re still REALLY “in love” with your Husband… -then why don’t you rent a little “well stocked” cabin in the North Woods of New England somewhere- and “Role Play” an Adventure with your Mate !!! You’ll be alone; you BOTH know each others fantasies, and you can go “ALL Out”- to make each others “Dreams”- come True !!! It can be as daring & “exciting” as YOU make it… It could do WONDERS for Your Marriage, -and it could end up being the BEST way “Imaginable”- to start off the New Year !!!

Alaska/The Amazing Panda Adventure [2 Discs] - $24.99 Includes:The Amazing Panda Adventure (1995), MPAA Rating: PG Alaska (1996), MPAA Rating: PG The Amazing Panda Adventure This family adventure concerns Ryan (Ryan Slater), a ten-year-old boy who has traveled to China with his father, a scientist working with a wildlife preserve dedicated to the rescue and protection of giant pandas, who are quickly becoming an endangered species in their native land. However, the preserve is faced with a severe budget cut that would close them down unless they can produce a living panda cub. Ryan, his father Michael (Stephen Lang), and a local girl acting as translator (Huang Fei) set out in search of a baby panda. However, when they find one, the bear is being pursued by poachers. Ryan becomes separated from the rest of the group, and he alone must guide the young panda to the safety of the preserve, with the hunters hot on his trail and without the help of his father or their translator. The Amazing Panda Adventure was shot on location in Mainland China’s Sichuan province. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Alaska Widower Jake Barnes (Dirk Benedict) moves with his daughter and son to a fishing village in Alaska, and earns his keep as a bush pilot by ferrying supplies to remote locations throughout the state. While the daughter loves her new home, the son cannot stand it, and is impatiently waiting until he is grown up enough to move away. However, they join forces to look for their father when they learn that he has gone down in an airplane accident. The official search party is called off and Jake is assumed dead, but the children will have none of it, and go off on their own into the Alaskan wilderness. Along the way, they thwart a big-game poacher (Charlton Heston) and his sidekick, and learn about survival in the wilderness. A highlight of the film is its fine footage of wild Alaska. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi |
