Smart travel choices for brilliant babes

Golden Gate BridgeI love traveling to new cities, dreaming of a day when I might relocate, and until now, I didn't have a clue how to decide which cities are best for a cultured and confident woman. I usually use word of mouth to pick up on cities with a thriving arts scene and innovative cuisine, but my travel research just got easier.

WomenCo has a girl-power fueled index of the top 25 cities for women in the US. Yes, they use a lot of the same data as other best-of lists, but they look at female-specific stats too.

Better jobs for women and high diversity scores also equal a smoking hot cultural scene. From the top 3, Sexy San Francisco has the edgy Mission District; Boston has museums about everything and great New England Seafood; and New York is obviously America's cultural capital. But hit up any city on the list for your fix of world-class music, galleries, and ~~restaurants!~~ museums.

Plan a southern-belle style road-trip from Atlanta, Georgia to Nashville's country scene and cowboys in Austin. Or follow my try-before-I-die list with a visit to Oprah in Chicago; a cheese steak in Philly; and a Broadway show in New York City. And that isn't even touching the West Coast.

Glad to see Madison, Wisconsin on this list! Madison is my hometown. I've traveled all over the country and still nothing beats the Mad town scene! Even in the wintertime there is always something to do, and skiing nearby. :)

On Chinese Earthquake Shakes Tourists in Chengdu , Steve said "Although the initial concerns are warranted, travelers should not intentionally avoid Chengdu. I am currently living in Chengdu and was here for the earthquake. Although some of the nearby cities suffered major damage, damage in Chengdu was very limited. I have heard reports of a building that collapsed and a couple buildings suffered minor structural damage but, by in large, tourist trips to the area will not be impeded at all. The day following the quake most stores in the city were closed but everything in Chengdu should return to normal by the weekend at the latest. It is a great city and I would encourage people not to change their travel plans. "
