Denver, Colorado

Denver is a clean, young and green city with more than 200 parks and dozens of tree lined boulevards. 5,300 hotel rooms, the city's convention complex, performing arts complex, and a wide variety of shops, department stores, restaurants and nightspots are within easy walking distance. Denver has a mild, dry and arid climate. The city receives only 8.15 inches (20.3 38 cm) of precipitation a year (about the same as Los Angeles) and records 300 days of sunshine a year more annual hours of sun than San Diego or Miami Beach. Trivial info: With the exception of Kansas City, Denver is closer to the exact center of the nation than any other metropolitan area. The 13th step on the west side of the State Capitol Building is exactly 5,280 feet (1,609 m) one mile above sea level. Info courtesy of The Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau (DMCVB).

Galveston, Texas

According to the Galveston Island Convention and Visitors Bureau, Galveston is a small romantic island tucked deep within the heart of south Texas possessing all the charm of a small southern town and just 40 minutes south of the fourth largest city in the United States. At 32 miles long and two and a half miles wide, most residents can't remember the last time they visited the mainland and, if circumstances permitted, they would never leave. From soft sandy beaches to famous 19th century architecture, the island is surrounded with incredible history and unique beauty.

Philadelphia

In addition to being the birthplace of the nation, Philadelphia can claim the first reading of the Declaration of Independence (1776), first Fourth of July celebration (1777), first capital of the United States (1790-1800), first Mother’s Day (1908) and the first Thanksgiving Day Parade (1920). Philadelphia is a two-hour drive from New York City, two-and-a-half hours from Washington, DC and 45 minutes from Atlantic City and Philadelphia International Airport is located about seven miles from Center City. Amtrak’s 30th Street Station is a major East Coast hub, with trains that run along the northeast corridor. Philadelphia experiences four distinct seasons with a moderately cold winter and hot, humid summer. January average temperature, 32 degrees Fahrenheit; July average temperature, 78 degrees; average yearly rainfall, 41 inches; normal seasonal snowfall, 21 inches. Info courtesy of www.gophila.com

San Francisco

There's more to San Francisco than Rice-a-Roni. There is the curviest street (Lombard), China Town, Street Cars, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf and Alcatraz and that's just naming a few that come to mind. Some things about San Francisco can't be put into words, you just have to experience it. The painted ladies (Victorian Homes as seen at the beginning of Full House), the Skyline, the San Francisco Bay are all breathtaking. There is plenty to see and do in the city but you can also venture out into the bay on a ferry or travel up the coast to Napa Valley for some great wine-tastings. The possibilities are endless. Be sure to visit the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau for travel podcasts. www.sfcvb.org/travel_media/podcasts.asp
