California Coast: San Diego (favorite-- I love everything about SD other than the cost of living (and hotel rooms!) and the pace of the drivers there), San Francisco (least favorite-- that's right-- it's not my kind of place at all!)
Desert Southwest: Las Vegas (favorite-- 'nuff said.) El Centro, CA (least favorite-- it's quite possibly the hottest city in North America, being BELOW sea level. It also smells like ****).
Mountain West: Denver (favorite-- my hometown). Provo, UT (least favorite-- not my religion-- I feel like I don't belong there).
Pacific Northwest: Seattle (favorite). Pullman, WA (least favorite....heh heh... Cougars suck!)
East Coast: Washington, DC (favorite-- it's a beautiful city with tons of history and things to do) New York City (least favorite-- great city, actually, just way too intense for me!)
