Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I am forced to do this clicky poll.

Where should H and I spend a long weekend for our anniversary in October?

There will not be any children with us.

  • NYC all the way!   There's so much to do.

    If you wanted somewhere tropical Playa Del Carmen is very nice as well!

  • If it's early October, I'd do the Berkshires, the Poconos, or North Country for folliage and stay in a B&B
  • If it were me, I'd probably go to a southern beach. It's still warm, but not crowded at all. Maybe Savannah, Charleston or Wilmington. We love Wilmington, but have never been there in the fall. So it may not be that good of a suggestion since I don't know anything about that time of year.

  • i firstly vote for NYC. it is the BEST!!! but i also vote for chicago b/c that's where i am!!! 

    philly and ac are strange. everything at philly closes at like 7 which weirded me out. i had to live there for 2 weeks when i was in rehearsals for a show once and it just was an.... interesting town. pretty architecture though. 

    and ac is skeevy. i mean there are some nice hotels there, but you won't want to leave them. there is NO excuse to be so close to nyc and actually be there! ;)

  • I should have added that H doesn't want to fly anywhere which is why I chose East Coast locations. 
  • It is so hard. I love Philly and D.C. soooooo much!!

    I love getting a hotel room at the Jefferson (DC) and eating at Old Ebbitt and going all over town. You have to make 100 trips there to see everything, you never run out.

    But Philly is so much fun too! 

  • I voted Chicago because lodging in NYC is so expensive. And, it's such an awesome city. Priceline yourself a 4-star hotel!

  • Salt Lake City or San Francisco = <3!

      In that case..... I'd do Chicago.  Closer for you, probably cheaper than NYC but still has alot of nice restaurants, bars and places to shop.

    Or priceline one for NYC. :)  I have never paid more than 130 a night (during peak times) for 4 star hotels in NYC on priceline.

  • I voted "other."  Crush is going on in California wine country in October - it's when they harvest the grapes.  We stayed in Sonoma and then went down to San Fran for a couple of days on our honeymoon.

     what part of philly were you in? were you "of age" when you were here? lolz.  everything closes at a 'normal' time, just like every other city!

     

  • NYC or how about Niagara Falls?

  • DH and I are going to New Orleans next month for our anniversary.  He's never been and I've only gone once for work when I was pregnant.  We're really looking forward to it!  
  • have you been to Montreal?

    Then that means I am forced to get my passport updated with my married name.  Hmmm, we have always wanted to go to Niagara....this sucks.

    Someone just make the decision and plan everything for me and I will be happy.  

  • Originally I posted other, and I would have chosen somewhere warm with a beach.  But since you want to drive, NYC is a lot of fun.

    October is still hurricane season. Chances are probably pretty low at one of those places. Just something to think about.

  • Denver!  but really...beautiful weather that time of yr...check out a concert at Red Rocks, go to a Rockies game, if you wanted to make a trip to the mtns. go to Grand Lake(not as far as other mtn towns), otherwise go to Blackhawk(casinos), and they recently remodelled this hotel and it is supposed to be wonderful(never been, but going in a few wks).

    sorry, dont know how to make it clicky 

  • NYC.  Don't go to AC it's dirty and nasty looking.
  • spend one night in AC at the Borgata and then head down the shore for a fun night of dancing/drinking and a good restaurant.  Kind of like Vegas, get in/get out!  Only difference is its one night vs. 2/3 nights I can usually handle in Vegas!

    just purchase your ticket in your maiden name. The names have to match on your ticket and passport only. They won't ask for any other Id

    i was 22. we stayed downtown. even kmart closed at like 7. and walgreens. bars & restaurants were open later, but i thought it was weird that shops closed so early. i have lived in nyc, stl, & chicago and things always stayed open til 9. that was not the case there. pretty city, i just thought it was .... different.

    But if were driving won't they want to see my passport and something else or am I not thinking correctly? 

  • If you are driving - you don't need to show anything other than your passport. You should be good to go.

    OR you can get a passport card which is good for driving and/or sailing to Canada. It's cheaper than a new passport!

    all you need is your passport to gain entry to canada.  good time to visit too!

    Perfect!  Now that makes my decision THAT much harder.  :)

  • I clicked other and think you should do something more west.. like Vegas or San Diego. =)

  • I vote vegas or someplace near the ocean! 
  • imageToosdai:

    definitely NYC. niagra is ok, but SOOO expensive.  you will pay the same sort of money for things in NYC but have muuch more to see/do.

    Yeah, this! I'm "down the shore". :) Oh, and I LOVE the Borgata. DH and I stayed there last month and went to Bobby Flay for dinner. SOOOOO good. The rooms at Borgata are beautiful and there are lots of great bars and things to do there.

  • I am kind of late but I picked other... I say Vegas all the way. I took DH there for his bithday last year and we both had too much fun. Plus you can always find great deals for flights and hotels. Have fun!
