East Coast Vacations

Easy Access Vacations Year Round

Spring Break and Easter (and related Jewish Holidays) have come and gone, and we're gearing up for many people's vacations as school gets out.

Due to the slow economy however, there's a ton of discounts available and low room rates. That's true in both the East Coast and Las Vegas who was recently hurt by not only the recession but some remarks by President OBama.

Speaking of the economy.. when I'm not being a webmaster, I am a full time health insurance broker here in Fl and I just came across a tool that I use there in marketing and to create good will and help clients. It's a new and free prescription discount card. Even if you have health insurance, you many not have the Rx plan part, so this can help you. I'll give you the link in a moment. Also, if you would like some extra money to pay for your vacation this year, when you get to the site, look at the "join our team" link. If you don't like to sell, don't want to invest in a business, have very little time you can still make money with these cards.. just get your own number and start giving the cards away. It doesn't get any easier.

The Atlantic remains a bit cool for swimming to say the least, but there's much coastal vacation fun NOT involving getting into the ocean. But you can have fun NEAR the ocean. Have you ever heard of "The Treasure Coast"? This is a part of the Fla coast from around Vero Beach to Sebastian.. and it's called this because a major Spanish treasure fleet, carrying literally tons of gold, silver, and jewels, and comprised of 5 ships, all floundered and sunk just off the coast during a storm as the fleet was headed back to Spain with all this. Just "why" they were was an intersting story. You can learn a whole lot about this af the state museum at Sebastian Inlet (admission only $1!) then you can walk the beach and maybe find your own gemstone or reals. Tip: bring a GOOD metal detector and plan this visit after a strong offshore wind or storm. Hundreds of people STILL do this every week and find treasure!

We've still not had time to add a blog to this site, but we do like to keep it updated with fresh content.. and to sorta get through this little East Coast Vacation dry spell.. we've added what might seem to be totally unrelated.. but isn't.. a page on Las Vegas! Read it to see an exceptional bargain and find out HOW a LasVegas vacation can relate. OK.. we'll continue with some of last months content..

Now I want to share a little tip on budget vacationing. Admitedly, it's not for everyone, but there are so many nice bed and breakfasts that can be stayed in for about 30% less money than a nice hotel... and if its the same budget as a Tier B hotel/motel, you'll probably enjoy it so much more. Then for activitiy, forget all the commercial full price venues... head to the local Chamber of Commerce. So many times these places not only can point you toward what is happening, but they have discount cupons and deals not in the conventional tourist literature. You can really save.

As to your lodging, if you have never stayed at a nice vacation condo, once you do, you'll never want to go back to just a hotel other than for a room in transit. Now if you own a time share (and we do not recommend that.. or at least the purchase on the retail new market), you can rent timeshare condos many, many, many places on line. You have so much room, a nice kitchen, and usually all the amenities.

Back to the Miami area for a moment... if you want the beach and plan on swimming, thicken your blood! The water temp was only around 70Deg, but.. if you just want water and some nice beach, but don't care as much about the waves, check out the water and beaches on Biscayne Bay! It's so much more shallow and the water is warmer.

 

This site is here for you, and the best way to enjoy and use it is to pick a location from the left. In many cases, as your web master we've been there and the entry page shares our experience or recommendations. Other resources on the page are commercial ads, some offering discounts.

As I ramble here, my thoughts have been to convert this to a blog format. It will take some time, and we'll be transisitioning gradcually with the blog first being in it's own directory.... after .biz/blog.

We'll give you some chance for feedback then.

East Coast Vacations come in so many flavors from winter to sub tropics. I don't have to tell anyone about the New England or Aridondack Area skiing. New England ski resorts are offering bargains this year due to the economy.

Moving south, and coming up in Feb, Daytona Beach again is featured with the Daytona 500 and then Bike Week. The "500" has run and while cut short with rain, was exciting,  but if you are a "biker" you know where you want to be.  The climate is still mild and you can get around in a light jacket and sweater, although the beach and water may only appeal to the most hardy.

Going a little further south, plan a stop in Miami and visit Vizcaya if you have not all ready done so. (http://www.vizcayamuseum.org/  ). You'll think you ended up in Italy.. and it's very inexpensive.

Then truck on down to the Keys. Key Largo is first and has some great seafood and scuba diving as well as spectacular sunsets.. and you don't have to go all the way down to Key West.. but even that and the museums, including the shipwrecks are worth it. Enjoy!

EAST COAST VACATIONS can be enjoyed year round, and we hope this web site, updated at least seasonally, will be a really great tool for you to enjoy yours!

East Coast vacations
An East Coast Vacation Beachwalk at Sunset

Your East Coast Vacation can span an entire generation from starting your marriage and family and enjoying east coast beaches with your kids, east coast amusement parks such as Busch Gardens at Va Beach. As your family grows and possibly your leisure, you can enjoy Myrtle Beach Golfing, or deep sea fishing, or kit flying at Kitty Hawk. History abounds as you can visit numerous lighthouses. Like to Gamble? Atlantic City Gamlbling is famous, but there's many gambling ships and cruises, many available virtually free and you can find these in Fla and other places. Quiet beaches to boardwalks and the "tourist" of Myrtle Beach are all here. Great seafood is available anywhere. New England Clam chowder to accompany Whale Watching, or you can watch dolphins in Fla. It never ends. This page has offered the experiences of the writer and his family who started their travels and vacations in the early 60s. Certainly not the ONLY place this now retired Air Force Officer and his wife have vacationed, but certainly one of the most favored that continues to be visited, and now returned to with grown children and grandchildren. Nothing quite as nice as a nice large beach house with wrap around porch that the family gathers on after a day of swimming, biking, hiking, golf, plantation visiting, historic site visiting and all the things there are to do. Put yourself in this picture! Your East Coast vacation WILL last a lifetime.
