Anyone know of a beach house I can rent for a few weeks on the California coast?

Might be a good idea to write exactly what it would take to accomplish the list. Then maybe people could try to find a way to help.

I just wanted to say that I love your list. I just got back from Niagara Falls (Canadian side) and it’s wonderful the spray you feel from the Horseshoe Falls on a ninety degree day. The Falls are something best appreciated from a variety of angles and in the early morning before the crowds, in my opinion. I keep a list of travel goals on a site called 43places.com. There is also the website 43things.com for general goals. I would recommend checking those out. Just a nice way for people with the same goals to connect and communicate…

Being from Southern Califorina spending a night at the beach is something I have done A LOT. I have slept in the sand, in the car, in a tent, a hotel and a B&B or two. I can suggest a few: San Felipe, Mex., Huatulco, Mex., Big Sur, CA., and Sylvia Beach, OR. Mexico is the best, because it harks back yearly family vacations in Loreto and San Felipe, and my Honeymoon, which was in Huatulco. There is nothing more blissfiul than to lay scantily or unclothed next to your beloved, feeling the balmy air on your skin and the sound of the ocean lulling you to sleep. The sea of Cortez is an amazing place.

I am also enamored with the notion of pine trees lining the beach, so I love the beaches of the Northwest. My husband is from OR but has spent most of his 20s and 30s living in Seattle. We have taken several road trips through OR and I need to stop a lot to take in the beautiful beaches on the Oregon Coastline.

If you ever want ton come to San Diego, hit some dives, a cemetery, great Mexican food, hit some pretty neat coffee shops and greasy spoon, I invite you.

Great list. Honestly, I’m not sure there *are* dive hotels in New York anymore! No, there are, I’m sure. But they are few and far between, compared to the “glory” days of the Bowery.

And btw, you *have* written a novella. It’s called your blog.

I have several guns of my own if you want to go shooting, I would love to help with that if you’re interested. There are a couple of machine gun shoots a year in Hernando county if that is something you would like to check out. I would suggest seeing a night shoot as well, they use tracers and that in itself is cool to watch. Check out my friends site, at the very bottom of the page you will see a night shoot on video, it’s really quite entertaining.

From all the things you have written, I would have thought you’d written a novella by now. Not even a novella but most likely a novel! Your writings are awesome and I praise you.

Lafayette #2 is a good cemetery as well. When I was there, some local drunk/”caretaker” gave us an informal tour. We tipped him and he followed us to the neighborhood bar and continued his drinking. As for dive hotels, there are plenty. I hope you get a chance to make it down there.

When you come to the Canadian side of the falls, you must contact me. Come stay a couple of days in Toronto… and I know some great goth bars that will blow your mind.
