Yeah I might have to move my trip back a week do to coverage issues at work.

So I want to buy weed legal, never done it...so are there Massachusetts dispensaries close to the Connecticut border? Or New York? I’m think I may stay in Woodstock ny one night.

Depends on what u like, if you are the Beach type that likes to chill out. Sarasota FLA is awesome. Great atmosphere and food.

Pittsfield, Great Barrington, and now Lee all have dispensaries, all very close to the NY border, not too far from CT

Rented a house in Rehobeth Beach last weekend with a group. Really nice house maybe a mile from the beach. This place would probably be 3k a weekend during the summer, we got it for 1k or so.

Funland was closed but the weather was great, not too crowded but still crowded.

I always love doing a weekend beach trip in September.

Agree...in outer banks nc this weekend for some sound side fishing and lil beach time. Beach trips in September highly underrated...last year went to Virginia Beach and stayed cheap as hell as well. I enjoy missing the large groups of people

Key west is a top 5 trip

I love the Outer Banks. Very relaxing but not much to do. We went in May this year. Very good weather and much better rates than in-season. Try the Kitty Hawk Grill for lunch (it looks like a diner). Very good food prepared by two crazy chefs who own the place. Get there when it opens because the great specials go fast.

Not much to do is kinda my speed...on the beach cup of drank in my palm...at night, some of the best, fresh seafood restaurant and hands down some of the the best saltwater fishing in the country period. Also a hub for kite surfing and paddle boarding due to the sound.

this morning I was on the sound, glass water and a slight breeze, 79 degrees pulling in speckle trout and puppy drum on an inshore fishing rig...#islandlife.

You might enjoy Key West. My wife and I love it there. A vacation there is a wonderful combination of fun and serenity. It is a very mellow place with a subtropical climate.

Key West is an island that is only 4 mi. long and 1 mi. wide. It is 129 mi. SW of Miami and 95 mi. N of Cuba. It is filled with Victorian Mansions, Boutique Hotels, and beautiful bungalows painted in pastel colors with gingerbread trim, most of them with front porches and many of them with balconies. There are over 16 blocks of buildings on the National Historic Registry. So, a trolley tour of the entire island (which doesn't take a whole lot of time) is a real pleasure and a "must do".

The heart of Key West is the famous Duval Street which extends 1.1 mi. from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. It's always party time on Duval Street. There are over 100 bars in the span of 15 blocks, including favorites such as the iconic Sloppy Joe's and the original Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Regular arrivals of cruise ship passengers keep things lively.

There are many other things to do such as deep sea fishing, sunset sailing cruises, snorkeling trips, museums, and many nice restaurants. There are even regular free outdoor concerts at the Mallory Square pier.

You can fly to Key West and, if you do, you don't necessarily need to rent a car. You can get around by bicycle, pedicab, trolley, rent an electric cart, or walk.

BTW, I'm not an employee of the Key west tourist board. I just love the place.

Going to Tucson in January. Cheap trip. Probably not a lot to do, but a lot of relaxing by the pool, and I'm ok with that.

Anybody looking for a good deal right now, Southwest is running sale fares through Thursday. Saw some good prices on there.

Nonstop/one way
BWI to:

Boston $50
Cancun $179
Ft. Lauderdale $79
Midway $89
Vegas or LA $150

I think the fares only apply through the end of this year though.
