Travel: New York
-
My dh has this thinking that since he flew all the way to NY, he prefers to cover as many places as possible. So with that in mind, we joined SA local tours in June this year. There is a separate discussion by other forumners on tours4fun, etc... For us, we wanted a tour that brings us all around as I thought logistic will be a challenge (especially with the no. of luggages we've)... It was probably the best arrangement for us.
We spent around 7-8 days and covered Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, Atlantic City, Statue of liberty, Niagara falls, Ben & Jerry, Hersheys, Ottawa, Montreal, Ontario. Not forgetting the outlet at woodbury, etc... We also spent close to 1 week in NYC only. It was great and I am so glad we did that hols. Really missed it :love: -

It was ok. As we travelled by coach and it takes time to travel from one place to another.... we actually got lots of time to rest on the bus. So we actually felt rested...was it hectic to cover so many places in 7-8 days ?

Initially wanted to base in NYC and take local tours to those places. But we realised there wasn't much local tours to choose from (grayline does have those 1-2 days type only but not like the ones we did). There was also the complication of luggage, laptop and hotel booking that I had to consider...dh didn't want to drive as he rather relax on the coach. So in the end as the timing match, we joined SA tours. On the last day while the group was touring NYC, they drove us to our NY hotel which we stayed on for a couple more days.
I compared them to insights, globus, etc... and their cost was cheaper. Saw another tour group online called tours4fun. It's alot cheaper but we were skeptical after seeing the review on tripadvisor. But someone on ksp did it and found it ok. Added advantage to us was all Sporeans.... so we had chinese food for dinner. It's wierd that we start to crave for chinese food after too much american food... Also, sporeans focus tour.... eg. guide gave us lots of shopping opportunties. She brought us to 3 outlets (including woodbury) and a duty free at Canada (for cosmetics). So it was happy shopping, sight seeing and eating... -
Washington DC is worth a visit and so is Pennsylvania, where the Amish County is.
If you dont mind driving, (we did) we drove all the way to Boston, Rhode Island and Cape cod, up to Niagara and back down to Pennsylvania, and to atlantic city. And if you are keen there in Dec, and want to ski, catskills is nearby. Vermont has quaint little towns which are all nicely decked out in December. -
