We had been in the deserts of Arizona for 20 years, and longed for GREEN and cold.
We headed to a familiar, close ( but not too close ) place while the house was in escrow, and so we could finish up Dr appointments.
Our first destination was South Lake Tahoe, because it had been our our bucket list for a dozen years. We stayed and explored for a week, then headed North to Sparks, NV, to check out the West side of the Lake, and because we were headed for Oregon.
We got stuck there due to the weather, so that immediately slowed us down. We were actually headed to Coos Bay, mostly because it sounded so beautiful. Short story is we met a few couples in Sparks that both recommended Winchester Bay. Went for a week, and ended up staying for a month.
Since then, we have just explored the Oregon Coast for the last few months, and will be headed North East around mid July.
We are mostly trying to follow the cool weather, and stay in uncrowded, smaller, quaint little towns. If we like it somewhere, we stay. If we don't, we move on.
My only recommendation is to slow down. It's hard to grasp for a while, and to realize you are not on vacation anymore. Doing so ( slowing down ) has really helped to to see and do things we normally wouldn't if we were restricted by time.
Best of luck
