Anything that are must see, in the south eastern states.

katiebear21 0 #2 October 14, 2004 North Carolina - the Outer Banks. Beautiful in the fall. Maryland/Washington D.C. The monuments are pretty cool. New York. The statue of liberty. Pretty cool. You could leave from Orlando, make it up to New York, and back down in 10 days. I could find some super cool places for you to stop.

Well, before going to the statue in "NY" stop by Atlantic City, or even close to NY, go to Hoboken, NJ lots of bars, restaurants, depends on what you want to do or go.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

skymama 37 #8 October 14, 2004 What month? That'll make a difference. If it's the winter, I wouldn't go too far north because of the snow. New Orleans is also a great place to visit and very unique.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Will_I_Am 0 #15 October 14, 2004 Stone Mountian is a pretty cool park. I used to live about 15 minutes from there. I'm not sure if the light show is going on in January though. The Outer Banks is a beautiful place anytime of the year. DC is worth seeing, but make sure you stay in the main tourist area. Most of the town is a little less then desirable. Make your way north up 95, and hit Philly. Granted, it's cold as hell there in JAnuary, but I love my hometown, so the cold wouldn't hold me back. (but that's just me.) Actually Philly in January will be a decent place to be, seeing how all of us Eagles fans will be getting ready for a trip to Jacksonville. (hint hint) Atlantic City is a good stop, but just like DC, keep in mind where you go. Stay clear of central Jersey, not much ot see there. But like Ivan said, lots of corner/neighborhood bars up in Hoboken. And what else needs to be said about NYC? The city that never sleeps. That statement could be more dead on. No matter what time, or what day of the week, there is always something going on in NY. And again, if you feel brave enough to stand the cold, hop on the ferry and go out to the Statue of Liberty. They have opened the statue again, so you can go up to the crown. Unfortunatly when I took Imperfect out there last summer for her first visit, they were still working on fireproofing her. And if you do manage to go up to NYC, stop by Ground Zero and pay your respects. For $20 I'll call the guy a CHICKENFUCKER!
