Send Me Somewhere Results – Week One

Last week I asked you to send me somewhere and you sure did make your voices heard loud and clear. Just to catch you up in case you missed the announcement last week and were too lazy to click my link in the last sentence, I need help planning my next trip for early next year.

I narrowed my options down to 10 cities, all of which are located within the United States and Canada. They include New Orleans, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Portland OR, Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver, Austin, and Chicago.

With such diverse and amazing locations to choose from, I decided to do something some might see as completely crazy – I let my readers vote on where to send me. The poll located on the right hand side of this page will provide you with the options each week. It started with 10 cities, and each Friday I will kick off the lowest ranking locale. The final city will be announced January 1, 2010.

My trip will take place sometime between mid-January and early-April. It will also be fully covered right here on the site with pictures, videos, and attractions you asked me to check out. If you are located within the winning city maybe we can even get a Guinness or two during my stay.

Without further ado here are this week’s results, with the most voted to least voted:

1. New Orleans – 23%

2. Montreal - 13%

3. San Francisco – 12%

4. Quebec City – (tie) 10%

4. Austin - (tie) 10%

4. Vancouver - (tie) 10%

7. Chicago - 8%

8. Seattle - (tie) 6%

8. Portland, OR. – (tie) 6%

10. San Diego - 4%

Unfortunately I will not be basking in the warm sun of Southern California in early 2010. So long San Diego. Vote again now for your favorite and this Friday come back to see what city gets eliminated next.
