Plan B -- (not the birth control, but the travel plan)

[sun_set_bravely]

I've fallen in love with nickelchief's description of Nova Scotia's beauty. I called to make the reservation but my flight voucher only covers continental U.S. My well-traveled LJ friends, do you know of anything in the Eastern/mid-U.S. area that has similar landscapes? I've not given up on New Orleans, but I could really dig some good solitary, melancholic landscapes.

what about maine? i could go on and on about my love for maine..... it always grabs something deep within me and helps me tune into that muse for writing.

A few other places come to mind ... Maine of course, along Acadia National Park ... the upper peninsula of Michigan ... the Great Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina ... the beaches along the coast of Delaware ... none of which I know well enough to offer any specifics.

I think the Hudson River valley is inspiring this time of year, I have plenty of ideas for that, but you're IN it already, it doesn't require air travel.

If you want to fly to Denver, I could set you up in a free, cozy cabin near Rocky Mountain National Park, in Estes Park, Colorado ... gentle hikes during the day and writing at night ... the amusing sound of elk rutting ... coffee and omelettes in town ... only two-something hours' flight from NYC.

It may be a good thing you weren't able to make it to Nova Scotia right now; Hurricane Juan (http://reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=3520655) is about to make landfall there.

It really is a wonderful place if you get a chance to go sometime. I was there a few times while in the navy. The people in Halifax were extremely nice, some of the crew were practically adopted by families there, and the surrounding area in Nova Scotia were beautiful.
