Vacations in the US
Going to England this year is out of the question for us...too expensive! We are looking last minute for somewhere good (and cheap) to go. Where are some good vacation spots?

Re: Vacations in the US
What do you want to do and how long do you plan to be there?. City hop? lay on a beach etc etc.

Yes, the choice is pretty much unlimited in the US, what is it you want to do?

Re: Vacations in the US
What kind of holiday are you looking for? Beach based, city based, culture based?
Do you prefer a location where you don't have to rent a car? What about the maximum no. of hours travel? Are you not bothered? NC Penguin |

Outside of the US, Dominican Republic (helps if you speak Spanish) and Cancun. Dollar does well there. Plus they have charter flights from some US cities to there. |

My husband has only been on vacation once in the US- we went to NY and he didn't really like it. A beach would probably be good. How about beaches on the east coast? |

I highly recommend the Outer Banks, but honestly by this point it's probably too late in the summer season to make any cottage reservations. That said, my brother takes his family there almost every year now, but they wait until September. It's still warm enough to go but the cottage rates drop drastically. Sadly I haven't been to OBX in about 5 years, and Mark's never been. I can't wait to take him! And yes -- "The Lost Colony" play is a MUST-SEE -- I've seen it four times already, and I'd see it again! ~ Jenney |

I like the Redneck Riviera for beaches in Florida, however so do the sharks. :eek: St Augustine is neat though and on the opposite side. What about mountains-Smokies? New England? |
