Dreaming of Vacation...

My name is Gina Ruggiero and I am an Earth Science teacher in New Jersey. As much as I love New Jersey ( I plan on living here my entire life), I love to travel. Unfortunately, I haven't had many opportunities to travel ( I've been to Playa Del Carmen- Mexico, Fajardo- Puerto Rico, Nevada, Florida, Georgia, Montreal, Vermont, Conneticut, New York, Quebec and Virginia). I'm hoping to take advantage of summers off to explore the World. My next trip will include visiting Oregon, Washington and California. Have you ever been there? Are there any places I MUST visit while there?
