weekend getaway ideas... (passports, trip, old, drive)

[spritle]

i am trying to come up with ideas for a long weekend in the spring for 4 girlfriends. we would prefer to stay near the east coast. as far as destinations or even itineraries, we are open to suggestions. thanks for your input!

Where do you live and what places have you been to in the East Coast?

[spritle]

we are scattered about in the southeast. this is our first trip together so anything is fair game.

Camden/ Kennbunkport area - Maine ( I recommend the "Timbercliffe Cottage" B&B in Camden and "Captain Fairfield" B&B in Kennebunkport - If you are Girly Girls drive down to Kittery for some retail therapy). Gorgeous area, lots of nice places to eat .




Boston , North Shore and Cape Cod - Too much to see and do and plenty to keep you occupied


Charleston/ Savannah - Beautiful places with lovely coastline ( mostly) , great dining , shopping, cultural stuff to do ( concerts etc...)

If you have passports Montreal and/or Quebec city might be something different.

second; is DC for Cherry Blossom Fest

Savannah / Charleston too,
Great Smoky NP ??

plan your Montreal, QC trip for early fall, then quickly down to Maine for end of Lobster season, and on into Boston /VT / NH for fall colors

have a blast.

BTW: Age / interests...???
80 yr old Girlfriends may have different tastes than 18 yr old, but maybe not!!, especially in the spring.

Great time to go anywhere.
