U.S. Vacation Spots
 
Want to plan a vacation next year. What is/are your favorite city/cities? What one thing would you recommend in that city?

Personally I enjoy visiting Ocean City, MD

Really nice beach, good restaurants, and you can find fairly inexpensive accommodations!

Flyfishing around Mammoth Lakes is one of my go to vacations.

Big Cities: This is going to sound crazy but I really like Detroit. Great food and fun nightlife downtown. Tip, if you like strip clubs, cross the border into Windsor Canada, their women have never been shot or stabbed.

Small Cities: I like driving so I usually end up in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, or Monterey if I want to spend a 3day weekend relaxing.

Santa Fe, NM is always a nice place to visit especially if you like spicy food. They put green chili on everything including fast food.

Coeur D'alene Idaho is on my todo list.

I like these places too. I've done little mini vacations at all of them.

Idaho is nice, my aunt has a cabin up there.

Definitely will need to get to New Orleans at some point. Have heard great things about Chicago from other people as well.

I used to live in San Clemente. Any of the beach cities from Newport all the way down to San Diego were great places to visit, ha,ha. You need to list what you like for good advice, your age and relationship status.

I live in San Diego so I've been to just about every spot down here. San Clements is nice. Love Dana Point too.

36 and my gf would 99.99% be coming with me. She is the foodie. I'm the beer, sports, and history part.

DC has a lot of great museums covering various subjects, there are also a lot of historic sights to tour in the area. Driving in DC is a PITA, parking is scare and usually expensive but the Metro Rail system covers most of the DC area. It is under repair and should be up and running soon.

As for vacationing in Cali, it is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. I lived there for 50 years, ha,ha. For those that have never been the varied topography is what is the most amazing. I lived a couple years in Lake Arrowhead, over 5,000 feet in elevation, it was less than 10 miles from a couple ski resorts and many a late fall and winter snow stayed on the ground with iced over roads for weeks at a time. Go in a different direction 30 miles and you were in the high desert that could hit 110 degrees in summer time. A 70 mile trip another direction got you to Pacific Ocean beaches or the same distance could get you into the Los Angeles area if crowded big cities are your thing.

The downside to Cali is there are a lot of areas that are gang infested and have very high crime rates. A lot of areas of towns look like 3rd world countries. It is hard to travel any distance without encountering gang graffiti, poorly maintained roads, heavy traffic and illegal dumping sites.

Asheville NC will cover all your bases. Beers? It is beer city and awesome. Sports? You have mountain biking, rock climbing, white water rafting, hiking and in the winter local snow resorts and there is history. Tons of good music and food too. Personally I like Burlington Vermont too. Lots of sports to participate in and good beer and food.

I've been to Ashville. Went with my parents when they were thinking about moving there. It's an interesting place. Definitely a sweet location. Time flies though, that was like 10+ years ago. I liked Raleigh too. Went there on same trip.

Went to Nashville this summer and that has become bachelorette party central. Lots of drunk woo girls. Great place to weekend with the boys.

Nashville is freaking awesome. If I move out of CA that's definitely one of the top 2 or 3 places I would think about moving to. I like Charleston, SC too.

I am from Chucktown. Used to be great now it is too crowded and too much traffic. To many Yankees from VA, DC, NJ and NY moving there. The hospitality we had is gone. oh well.

I went to Nashville for a couple of nights and my buddy got us all hangover treatments every morning. It actually worked.

Hi guys, the Catskills very little but I do hit the Berkshire's . In October should be very nice. Leaf peepers are at their peek on Columbus day weekend up there so expect it to be busy if that is when you're up there.
Depending on where in Conn you are it shouldn't be far to get to . Great Barrington,Stockbridge ,Lenox ,Lee all great little spots. All of them along Rt 7/ Rt 20 Some good craft beer up there.


Chico pretty sure you would love this place.........

If you're going up and take the NY State Thruway "Woodstock" ...yes that one, is a pretty cool little town.

I use to spend summers in Lenox as a kid which is how I got to know the area. We usually stay in Stockbridge at the Redlion Inn , it's pricey specially during leaf peeper time but the Mrs loves it and it's a treat to ourselves, it's all so Norman Rockwell's home ,the Museum is there ,very cool.

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.

LOL, wish I could help you but I know nothing about that. I drove through Woodstock once it's a cool little place that embrace's it's past although the Concert was actually in Bethel NY.

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.
