Default Road trip with my IS (where?)

Its probably not too appropriate to ask this here but I will as anyway, I live in NY I had never took my IS for a road trip yet and I want to go somewhere nice maybe a few hundreds miles around NY, anyone got any recommendation? It’s going to be over the weekend so two days. (going with my girl by the way, somewhere nice an romantic? lol)

don't forget to fit your IS with the special OCEAN body kit or the WINGS + JETS add-on to make this trip

Forgive my ignorance as to distance and feasibility, but how about Niagra Falls? I hope to one day visit there myself.

Niagara Falls is also like a 10-12 hour drive... NY is a -big- state... If you don't want LI then you've got the near-upstate mountains or go with Eastern Shore of Maryland... there's a little town called Chestertown for example that's very pretty, several "romantic" B&B type places, some nice shops, etc... plenty of other cute little towns over there too if the moutains (near upstate) isn't your thing

OK. Where I come from a long drive is 1-2 hours. And that's a looong drive around here.

Other than that I was just thinking that there are a bunch of B&B-type places like Kurtz just mentioned that are always showcased in the sitcoms.

OP, try posting in the NELOC forums. That may be more appropriate. GL with ur weekend. I'd suggest going to a winery somewhere, such as Ithaca, NY.

Take a ride to the Poconos. There are some lovely falls around that area and some fun curvy roads to drive on. I haven't lived up in that area for awhile, so I don't know a good place to stay. Try to find a nice bed and breakfast.

Years ago, the only place to stay had the big champagne glass tubs. I just looked this up for you. Maybe it would help.
