For about six years I went there every six weeks with work

East coast, Boston-NYC-DC or the other way around on the Acela. Also other places (SF, Dallas, Georgia, etc) but mostly East Coast. I loved Boston and NYC, DC not so much (but walking round the Monuments etc was nice).

Swore during Trump One I would never go back and I never will. The issue for me was the airport treatment of a mate whose skin is brown and surname Iraqi, though he was born here and has the habits and mannerisms of most of the rest of us. This was during the "Muslim Ban" period (spoiler, he's not a Muslim, not that that should make any difference whatsoever).

Interesting someone mentioned Dubai. Went there with work too and hated it.
