Where should I go? Just got a huge tax refund, have heard nothing but bad news from every person I know in the world for weeks, and just finished a big deadline.

AA says last-minute deals to Seattle, Salt Lake, Tahoe, Montreal, Toronto, someothers. Votes? Only ever been to Montreal, and didn't seem super friendly, but I was there for work.

EDIT: Seattle wins - recs?

If you're not going skiing somewhere, go someplace warm.

Eh, we're getting warm for the next millenium, don't you read the news? I grew up with warm, I'm over it. Seattle does sound possible.

I know there are some Seatellites hereabouts.

I'm jealous. I've always wanted to see that city.

Unfriendly French-Canadians? You're pulling my leg.

I've got to get out of the city so I've convinced myself I'm getting out of here no matter what the weather is this weekend. I'll be going to the village of Ballachulish which is basically the four buildings at the bottom of this mountain.

If the weather is good enough I'll do some climbing, if not I'll just stick to the glens and go for a long tramp. Right now the forecast is 60% chance of sun with some snow showers on the hills, here's hoping!
