New York State Vacations
from: Michael RussellThere are numerous opportunities for memorable vacations all
across New York State. You have the whole spectrum between
exotic or entertaining vacations in New York City, capitalizing
on the hustle and bustle of urban sophistication, to the quiet
and peaceful relaxing vacations "getting away from it all" and
innumerable possibilities in between!
A popular vacation spot is located in and around Niagara Falls,
on the north-western corner of the state. Boat tours right in
the Niagara River that go behind the Falls for an exciting new
perspective are always popular. Many people like to bring a
picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful views. Open all year round,
it is just as spectacular in the winter with its partially
frozen pillars and tremendous ice jams, as it is in the late
spring when the rushing water is at its greatest volume. Other
attractions in the area include the Aquarium and the numerous
dining facilities. Some people think of Niagara Falls as the
"honeymoon capital of the world," while others just think of it
as an "awesome display of God's handiwork in Creation." A visit
there for a day or a week or longer would certainly be a
satisfying New York vacation. Accommodation would range from a
KOA (Kampgrounds of America) campsite, where you can pitch your
family tent, to the 5-star resorts with elaborate honeymoon
suites to suit everyone's tastes.
Traveling east along the southern shore of Lake Ontario brings
further opportunities for a satisfying vacation, and many people
try to arrange their year so that their vacation coincides with
the NY State Fair in Syracuse. Families whose children belong to
various 4-H Clubs around the state will come for a week's
vacation to show all their achievements of the year, and
triumphantly come home with as many blue ribbons as possible.
Other families and groups have been known to take extensive
fishing vacations at various locations across the state where
the lakes and rivers have excellent reputations for various
types of fish.
Upstate New York around Lake George and surrounding areas is a
very commercialized vacation area where thousands of people
flock each summer to participate in the many water-play
facilities which are available. Anyone who enjoys vacationing
where there are vast crowds and noisy entertainment would enjoy
this vacation area. Here again are many choices for lodging from
the simple to the sublime.
The last type of New York vacation I'll mention in this article
would be to spend a few days or more in New York City, itself,
the great symbol of our national "melting pot" heritage. Book a
motel or hotel room or suite. This can easily be done online
many months in advance if you wish. Your only problem would be
the large selection to choose from! You can narrow it down by
price, location or amenities. Some of the top New York
attractions are: Central Park, The Empire State Building, The
Statue of Liberty, and almost 200 Museums! (The most popular are
the Museums of History and Art especially). Lots of people like
to visit Times Square, Ground Zero (former site of the World
Trade Center that was destroyed on 9/11/01 by terrorists) and
Ellis Island as well. So as not to be totally overwhelmed,
probably the best idea for someone planning to spend their
vacation in NYC would be to check some travel guides ahead of
time for activities, entertainment and restaurants. That way a
general itinerary could be established before the actual
vacation began. After that, just have fun!
