Just before the pandemic started I did get a chance to go to Honolulu though, one of the U.S. cities on my bucket list. Can't wait to go back, but boy is that long plane trip! Aside from maybe an eventual visit to a national park, I can skip most of the mountain west and great plains states.
Portland Oregon - Connected in the airport going to Vancouver once. I’d like to check out the city.
Charleston SC
Pittsburgh- Another place where I once connected a lot in the US Air days but never got to the city.
I wouldn’t go there to see Pensacola or Mobile but I’d like to check out the Redneck Riviera.

My “no desire” list is failed cities in the Northeast. I’ve had plenty of exposure. I have no desire to ever get to the couple in Connecticut or the longer list in New Jersey and upstate NY I haven’t been to.
I have used TF Green Airport in Warwick many times. I’ve been on the Route 1 strip. I go to Cranston next to it occasionally. They have the closest REI and some other retail storefronts in that shopping area. I can’t imagine why Warwick would make a list.

Speaking of those 3 states, I know at least for damn sure that I wouldn't want to visit Camden or Atlantic City in New Jersey. Maybe also Newark, at least from the little I've heard about it(will say I hadn't looked at its City Data statistics page more, to make a better determination on that one). In Connecticut, I wouldn't have any interest in visiting Bridgeport. Also seeing it from the Metro North Train other than a minor league ballpark, there wasn't much that struck me of any interest there.
That said, I wouldn't mind possibly visiting Hartford someday. And for NJ I kinda want to see Asbury Park, if just for its history. And the fact Bruce Springsteen was if I recall correctly, from here. Honestly, Asbury Park is one of the few places I'd have interest in visiting, on NJ's coast. Maybe I could be swayed to visit other places on NJ's coast, if I investigated them further(i.e. Cape May)?
For upstate NY, I think I'd want to visit the Finger Lakes area(west of Ithaca) the most, and perhaps also Cortland and Binghamton. And on a side note wouldn't mind also seeing Cooperstown for the Baseball HOF, and perhaps Woodstock, NY if that festival's original 1960s festival site is one you can visit? For further north NY state(north of I-90 and the NY Turnpike), I wouldn't mind visiting Wehle State Park, the 'Thousand Islands' region of islands near the NY and Ontario border, the Adirondack Park, and maybe potentially some of the other smaller towns further north? I.e. Potsdam, Lake Placid, Plattsburgh to name examples. It's one of those regions(Adirondack Park plus the towns north and east of there), I'd like to someday research further. If anyone else wants to respond and recommend their favorite places to visit near the Adirondacks, that'd be appreciated.
Further west in NY, wouldn't mind one day visiting Rochester and Buffalo, and of course also see Niagara Falls(the falls itself, not so much spend time in Niagara Falls, NY or or the touristy Ontario city). And whenever the NY/ON land border reopens, maybe do a side trip or 2 into Ontario.
It'd be tricky to get to Portland, ME without passing through the Boston area.
Such is life. If I were in the area I'd spend time in Boston, for whatever reason it's just one of those places that's never really peaked my personal interest. I wouldn't seek it out as a specific destination, me listing it wasn't meant as a slight to anyone. Everyone has those places, typically they are the places that I like lol.
Someday I am going to go on a reverse city tour. Meaning, all the cities that I reallty don't want to visit.
Memphis Tennessee
Detroit Michigan
St. Louis, Misery
Cleveland, Ohio
Tulsa Oklahoma
Tuscon Arizona
Little Rock Arkansas
Birmingham Alabama
Buffalo New York
Guess I haven't really thought about it. If pressed, I suppose I'm not all that interested in visiting Detroit, Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, Tampa, San Jose, or Indianapolis.
In any case, if you end up visiting Portland, you may want to stop if not in Boston proper then in some of the cities between it and Portland (e.g. Salem, Newburyport, and Portsmouth).

Newburyport(MA) and Portsmouth(NH) I'd love to visit, for sure. In the past I street viewed both those 2 places, and liked how nice they looked. Hadn't researched Salem(MA I assume) yet on street view, but I bet that'd be nice to visit as well.
Would you guys say Nashua(NH) is nice to visit? I know at least at one brief time one of my relatives lived there, and liked living there. Not sure if she still lives there, as of now.
Not reeally. Nashua’s nice enough as far as small New England cities go. It has a decent mix of shops and restaurants downtown but it just doesn’t cater to tourists in the same way that the coastal cities do. You’d probably run out of things to see and do pretty quickly as a visitor.
