Title: 30th bday vacation ideas. Let me hear ya Post by: A8scooter on April 28, 2013, 07:45:33 PM Since ill be 30 I'm a few weeks I'm planning a nice little vacation. Problem is I don't know where. I have 500 ( up to 800) to play with including hotel and car rental. I'm from northern nj so I figure anything up to 6 or 8 hrs away will work. A thurs-Monday type thing. Any ideas? ( NYC sucks in my view so I wouldn't want to go there, don't like going there at work in an ambulance. ). Any good places with thrift shops or flea markets a big plus also a nice place to go with the gf be a plus too. So far I'm thinking(maybe in my range)
Pa Upstate ny Connecticut Vermont Massachusetts Delaware Maryland DC And maybe West Virginia Virginia Also have a nutball thing to drive to Tennessee but at 14 hrs and alot of gas might not be realistic.

If you are going to come to the north east do it during the fall with everyone else. If you are an outdoorsy type you can get some awesome mountain scenery but even for that you might want to head south into Virginia and check out the Blue Mountains. As for thrifts Western MA is a dead zone. The people in Conn are always crying about how dry their area is for finds and then end up finding some of the best shit i have seen.

Dc I never thought for thrift flea market type things. Worth a strong consider.

Also, not kidding; you're totally invited. :) Title: Re: 30th bday vacation ideas.

Title: Re: 30th bday vacation ideas. Let me hear ya Post by: Izret101 on April 29, 2013, 01:09:17 PM As for my DC suggestion I did not factor thrifts into my decision. I can only confirm that Western MA is dead.

What kinda game thrift shops out your way? Most of my pickups, including the latest (CIB Atari XE w/ light gun and about 12 games) is the Exchange, a store catering to all media from records to blu-rays. Never know what'll show up. There's also a Buy Backs (not recommended but interesting stuff sometimes comes through) and two Play N Trades. Oh, and lots and lots of yard sales, depending on the time of year. If we get adventurous and road trip another hour and a half we have the EXCELLENT Video Game Connection (http://www.videogameconnection.com/) with some tough-to-find Atari stuff.

No need to venture outside and blow money on gas. And you don't have to deal with dirtbags, weirdos and other annoyances that make life such a pain in the ass. There's no better vacation than that. You're welcome. |
