>>>Vacation Destination<<<
 

Mr. Lil wants to take me away for a long weekend, like Thursday afternoon to Monday evening. We have not had a vacation alone in a long time. Hell, we took people on our honeymoon.:p

I am not looking for anything too busy nor do I wanna just sit and watch the leaves change colors for 3 days.

Any good ideas? We can do plane, car, or ship. I have really not traveled any and am curious where you have been and why you enjoyed it.

Lilith, I'd suggest a cruise. How else could you choose whether to lock youself in your cabin for private fun or get out and enjoy all kinds of activities. You don't have to drive, worry about eats or where you're going to sleep. As for destinations, there's a world of options and I'm sure there's some you haven't seen that would be of interest.

Lilith, Amsterdam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its an absolutely amazing place, from the red light district to the museum quarter, something for everyone.

We only have maybe 3 or 4 days at max and not unlimited resources$$.

Bear~ We have thought cruise, did that for our honeymoon, but have no idea which one, and the viral thing on several of them lately has me a tad nervous. Any one with a specific cruise suggestion please PM me.

Yin~ If I could go to Amsterdam I'd just go to Scotland;) I will make that suggestion to Mr. Lil:D

Sharni~ 4 days would never be enough for me to see all the beautiful things there. Heck we'd prolly want to spend 4 days just playing with you and Bilbo :hot: I would love to see your country!

I hear the "midwest" is really pretty at this time of year.... ;) :D

There's not much foliage on a cruise, but they are definately entertaining.

I'd say New England, but that's only for selfish reasons.

How about the Amish country in PA?

Branson's always good....and not nearly as crowded now that the height of the tourist season has passed. And talk about foliage!! OMG!!! It's gorgeous here right now!!!!!

Diva~ ;)

WilIrish~ I think New England would get me in almost as much trouble as Washington:D We are looking at December but wanna book something now so it's cheaper. Cruises are lookng good.

SS~ I bet it's beautiful. I am heading north to see the leaves next weekend.

OK, since I don't imagine I can sucker you out to Oxford (although I do give one hell of a tour)...I'm declaring myself unbiased.

This time of year, a driving tour of the finger lakes (or just a nice quiet perch near one of them) would be stunning. Beautiful trees, lovely scenery, wine tasting as you go, and all sorts of good things.

Also high on my list, if you've never been....Santa Fe. Any time of year (except mid summer, if you're opposed to heat). The food is stunning, the town is lovely, the O'Keefe museum is a must, the archetecture is fab, and there are galleries and shopping opportunities galore. It's a wanderer's paradise....or you can just sit on your balcony and watch the sunset across the mountains.

Just a couple of thoughts....hope you find the perfect getaway!

Um.................Haven't I told ya'll (there's that southern accent again :rolleyes: ) enough about this neck of the woods to fulfill any inquiring mind?????? Pa. Dutch country is nice......but far from romantic for a couple wanting to get away, alone, for the first time in years! The Amish would really frown on all that public groping and spit swapping!!! LMAO! And.....if it's in December that you want to visit here.......there's only a bunch of buggy's and horse poop in the snow to look at! :D Or you could stay just a bit southeast of Lancaster county.....and visit us here at our homestead Lil and Mr. Lil (in Montgomery county).........but then I've told you how exciting cow tipping is and I wouldn't want you to go home and need a vacation from your vacation! :confused: I'd say if you ever have a need to see Pa. Dutch country and you need a tour guide and it's not going to be a "romantic get-away".......myself and Mr. Lixy would love to show you around! But.......I'd take that cruise if I were you Lil! I hear an Alaskan cruise is wonderful!

3-4 days living where you do ... (I've never been there, but) I'd say New Orleans!!! ... I've always wanted to go there.

GingerV~ If I ever make it to the UK I am surely NOT taking Mr. Lil:o SantaFe sounds lovely!

Lixy~ I grew up in a city with a huge Amish population so they hold no fascination for me either:p We are thinking along the B&B lines...but I'd like one with a BDSM theme :p

fzzy~ Mr. Lil mentioned New Orleans to me at dinner tonight. If he knew about my promise to Wicked Wanda then he'd have booked the hotel already. All I could think about was all that iron and those beautiful cemetaries.

I have not been to New Orleans in 30 years but I would still go for that as a recommendation. Or some where in the great southwest in Dec.

Yup, New Orleans it is!

The Rockies this time of the year would, um rock! :)
