[quote]Looking for a vacation destination that will offer my family an enriching experience. We have two children, 11 and 14. Want to stay in the region (Carolinas, Virginia). Considering The Smithsonian (Washington, DC), Colonial Williamsburg, VA, Biltmore Estates (Asheville, NC), Historic Charleston, SC, Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens (New Bern, NC). Any opinion of which way to go?[/quote]
Since you mentioned about enriching experience and you have two children, so i guess museum will never be a wrong choice. Smithsonian Museum will be a great option for your family.
Here is the link, http://www.si.edu/ for the museum..

[quote:fea4984703="sac_aga"]Hi.........New York, Portland and Chicago are considered to be the greenest cities in U.S.A.
To know more about the green cities in U.S.A, check out the following two links:

How can New York be called green?
But i also give my vote to Portland. Really, really green, comfortable climate and not so crowded, at least it gave me such impression when i went Portland for business last year..

Amazing~~
You know what, you make me want to take a road trip to Massachusetts in the coming fall~
Then maybe i could record my experiences for you guys here! :P.

[quote:1214c08996="Dawn Patrol"]Hmmm, not very practical in the city, ( freeway traffic and parking) especially if youre visiting tourist sports. Besides, I doubt youll want to unhook, just to spend a few hours at Disneyland.
BTW, take a look at [url]http://www.koa.com/[/url] nice lists of RV parks. They even have one right on the Strip- Circus Circus. (nice pool).[/quote:1214c08996]
Yeah it's a bit of a pickle. The RV park looks like a good idea maybe we could find those throughout citys on the trip and just use other transport to do the tourist stuff, from those. Thanks.

hello guys,
I will drive direct Texas to California in two solid days. So there are an extra 12 days to fit all kinds of stuff in. I can do many of the things I want to do inside that time,
and if you budget your time well. And, since you're young, you'll be able to solidly cover many of the htings. a couple of times a day. Two weeks, Texas to California? Easy!!
8 :P.

I guess the first thing you have to decide is whether your time is worth more than money. If it is, fly into New York City (preferably Laguardia) . If not, and you don't mind a long communte, then flying into Newark Liberty is a good way to save some cash..

Hi,
I have just found out that the ESTA system for online authorisation of entry into the USA will incur a charge of $14 per person as from 8th September 2010. If you are travelling or think you may be travelling within the next two years go online at the official website which can be found on the USA embassy UK website and you will still be able to register online for free and this covers you for two years.

HI and thanks for your replie!!!
I get a car and could drive in two parts:
Montreal ] Dover and Dover Avon cap hatteras. I planned to stop driving and sleep to Dover and in the morning take back the drive to Cap hetteras.
My concern is the money/time i will spendthe trip: fot the gas; aroud 300$ for the trip Montreal-Avon-Montreal. Add the price of the hotel and i get around 400$ for 20 hours driving trip. On the back i can doit non-stop drving.
For the same price or close to is there ANOTHER WAY??
Thanks again for all!.

Hey, your trip sounds really fun! I'd really love to do a road trip across the states one of these days. I've found that if you are looking for a way to plan out your trip (if you decide to do that) using an online travel planner can be helpful for managing everything from sights you're going to see and places you plan on staying. I've been using a website called "Travel withMe" for now and so far it's proved useful..

Does anyone know of a tent campsite in or very near to Fort Bridger Wyoming.
They have a Mountain Man event on in September that we would like to visit while we are in the greater Yellowstone area.

Hi all,
My friends and I were looking to take a roadtrip to a beach that offered a good party scene and nightlife. I am not sure if there's quite anything like it at this time of year, but we were looking for something that would be comparable to South Padre Island, TX during Spring Break.
We had a blast when we went recently, so we were looking to do something similar to that again. Does anyone know if there's something similar to that during early-mid August?
We contacted South Padre Island locals, and we were told that it would be mostly families there, so I figured it wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable or appropriate for us to go there.
We considered Destin, FL/Panama City, FL, but do not know much about it?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a ton! :!:.

Not sure what tour you mean, I took train from Denali/McKinely to Anchorage when returning from the Park with a group. It was okay but not exciting and slow. Our group was driven up to the park in a coach as part of our trip, so the train was an option but personally if I was by myself I'd drive so I could do more in the area..
