I live in NYC and I am trying to plan a Birthday trip, not near a Hurricane and not expense and probably close to home to save money I am racking my brain trying to come up with something. I was thinking maybe a cruise, a train trip or a vacation house rental. I would appreciate some suggestions.
Thanks!!
Birthday Trip

Quebec amazing cool close
Cheap direct flights on Porter Air
who? when? how many? how much? how old? what likes? what dislikes? Answering this question with little info you provided is like batting in the dark...
I was coming to suggest Mexico because it can be very reasonably priced. But it's not "close to home" and depending WHEN this trip is may or may not have great weather.
Magic words-train trip: I have ridden Amtrak many times since 9/11/01. All kinds of possibilities. My idea would be from NYP to Chicago on the Lakeshore Limited. From Chicago take the "City of New Orleans" to NO. If you wanted to see Memphis for 24 hours this is possible.
From New Orleans, take the Crescent all the way to New York with possible stops in Atlanta or Washington.
Double check to see if a 15 day USA Rail Pass would be cheaper than the individual tickets. amtrak.com
Chicago or Arizona would be nice. Or you could go to LA, although I know it's really far from NYC. How about Miami?
Would be nice if you mention the date and the budget. However, here is some suggestion for you.
Since you are at NYC, let me suggest something really close, not too expensive, and it gets you out of the BIG city and into a small quaint lake front.
How about a wine country tour right here at home in the state of New York? Cayuga Lake would be beautiful from May to September/October. It would be stress free and very relaxing.
For mid to late October, a New England cruise would be great, round trip NYC.
For Novmember and early December, a Caribeban cruise round trip BYC is possible.
Mid to Late Decemebr would be too expensive to go anywhere as it is high travel season.
