Knowing how you feel about camping and hiking through the mountains...I'll keep those memories to myself. ha ha

Hilton Head is a fun place to unwind, but if you don't play golf...you'll end up driving elsewhere for entertainment and education. Charleston is about an hour away and makes for a great day trip. There's a battleship museum there as well.

Washington DC, with it's endless monuments and fabulously educational and interesting Smithsonian...always a great way to spend time. It's very expensive to stay there and to eat, but I guess that's part of what vacation is all about.

Pennsylvania Dutch Country in Lancaster, PA is supposed to be great. I've been through there but haven't spent much time poking about. It's also close to Hershey, PA. I imagine that to be a more laid back vacation than DC.

I know it's pretty far away, but NYC is convenient for me...I mean interesting for you.
