i don't really have to, but i got a gps for christmas and i'm sick of long island.  i'm pretty much just looking for realistic mini road trips along the east coast and even canada. i really wanna get away and find cool places (doesn't have to be ski-related) to go with a friend for like a day or weekend trips.  recommend if you've been to places, or if you've heard of places to go.  gracias

montreal is a pretty cool city . it takes 6 hours from manhattan . im not sure where long island is compared to that . the drinking age is 18 but as long as your over 16 people are pretty mellow about it and its got better strip clubs than anywhere else close

Boothbay Bay Harbor Maine (Idk the actual town name just Google "Boothbay Bay Harbor Maine")
its more of a summer trip though, but they have the illest chinese resteraunt ever and its also just a really nice place, try to go around windjammer days or fourth of july (im almost positive they're the same week) the parades there are pretty good


and

If you like to camp then Coolidge State Park in Vermont, but be sure to book well in advance, especially Columbus Day Weekend, or around then, Columbus Day weekend 2008 was sold out on the day when you can start to register (11 months ahead of time)

if you need any more PM me

Go to Eastern Canada to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia (Bay of Fundy), Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick etc, you will never find people so hospitable, friendly and upbeat, defiantly a cool place. (I've never been myself, I know many who have that have loved it more than anything)

Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, highest tides in the world.

Newfoundland, beautiful landscapes, friendly people.

I'm just suggesting the Martimes because it seems like the place to see something completely new and different, probably a good place to relieve stress.

^ yea those places look real unique and just cool so it'd be a nice change from the norm.  and with road trips for me, getting there really is half the fun, so i'm sure anywhere would be great.  thanks for the suggestions
