Now that my girlfriend has returned to England we are planning to meet up again over Christmas. The problem is we have no idea where to go. We’re considering meeting up half-way on the east coast and doing something over there, but since I don’t know anything about the east coast and neither does my girlfriend, we’re both sort of lost.
So, if anyone has some ideas of cool places we can spend about a week at, here is what we’re looking for:
- We have to be able to get to it. Duh :P.
- Snow, but not too much (we don’t want to get snowed in).
- Hotels, since we have to have somewhere to stay. Maybe an Holiday Inn or something like that.
- Stuff to do. We like museums, book stores, book things, things related to science fiction and fantasy, more book things, history, and pretty scenery. It’s only for a week, so if there’s enough to entertain us for a week, great. Obviously some of that time can be spent walking or doing romantic snuggly things. We just don’t want to be bored, obviously.
- Relatively safe. This goes without saying I suppose.
- Somewhere nice. We just want to enjoy ourselves. It’s a romantic, Christmas getaway. Enough said.
- Public transportation options other than taxies a plus (free transportation even better).
So, do you have any suggestions? I don’t know if I can rent a car, but I should be able to. I’m 24 and I don’t have terrible credit or anything, but I don’t know much about renting cars, so I don’t know if they’ll let me. I’m not really interested in driving wherever we’re at, so if we can walk around or something, that’s great. Small towns/cities are a big plus for us. We like that cute town feel.
Anywho, thanks for your suggestions!
