Agree on Amsterdam temperature-wise, great city. Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco for good Christmasy places? SF can be unexpectedly S.Cold, as can Lisbon.

GregP Dec 2024 6:11am, 7 Dec 2024 154,040 posts	0 GregP PNW probably doesn’t include Anchorage - I’m not even sure it includes Vancouver. A lot of the time it strikes me as shorthand for ‘Washington and Oregon’. I’ve got the Lonely Planet down by my bed somewhere- I’ll check later. [I have a lot of Lonely Planet guides- I sort of collect them]
GregP Dec 2024 10:31am, 7 Dec 2024 154,043 posts	0 GregP Gosh - eight completely one-sided games. Not a lot of point in keeping them open. Will do the needful today or tomorrow.
