Seattle! I've taken a sudden interest in Seattle in the last few months. Very vibrant, I enjoy the rain, perfect metro size, and I love mountains! There are plety of landmarks like Pikes Place Market, the Space Needle, and The Seattle Great Wheel. It seems like it would just be a great vacation imo. Don't know a lot abut theother two cities, bu they don't really appeal to me from what I've researched.

Charlotte or Austin

I would have to say Austin. My impression is that there's more going on there on any given weekend. Plus I love the Hill Country.

Milwaukee or Minneapolis?

Monterrey (Mexico), Seattle (USA), or Montreal (Canada)?
Montreal is not Canada's "rich" city. It's more middle-of-the-road.

Pittsburgh, been to Portland already. I like photography and Pittsbrugh is a city I want to get on film. The setting with the hills, several bridges, and skyline look very picturesque. The history and architecture of Pittsburgh seems intriguing.

Santa Fe, NM or Burlington, VT?
