Help on where to stay in PA within 1-2 hours of Newark, NJ Airport??
Hi everyone, we are a couple in our late 20's who will be driving the loong drive from New Philadelphia,Ohio to Newark on 12th July this year. Our flight home to N. Ireland is on 13th July, but its not until 9pm.
Another thread suggested somewhere in PA or Delaware might be nice to stay the night and spend the next day before driving onto the airport at Newark?
I guess i was hoping people could maybe expand on that and shout out some areas in and around the PA/ delaware area that wouldnt be too much hasle or take too long to get to Newark, but also have nice places to eat and see for the day? We arent oo fussy, we are intersested in alot of things....
Also any suggestions for places of interest/ eateriers in the PA area that will be on our route from Ohio would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Are you traveling I-80 or I-76 PA Turnpike?
Bloomsburg is a nice college town along I-80 with McGee Carpet factory. If you want to be closer to Newark, Check out Stroudsburg along the Delaware River which is the eastern boundary of Pennsylvania.

nytraveler- yeh i realise that now, again, understand that im in northern ireland and usa is another world, but thanks for pointing it out however. I had considered Philly but wasnt sure if it was maybe going to be too much of a detour?

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is just east of Stroudsburgh, PA (which is about an hour and a half from Newark). If you drive north of I-80 on route 209, you go through some commercial area then into the Recreation Area. There are several waterfalls that you can visit, don't go to the one you have to pay to get into, the others are run by the park service and are free. There are paths through the woods to get to them and it is quite pretty. We've seen deer and wild turkeys along the route several times.

Doug_Stallings and lincasanova- sorry if i am irritating you, i had not realised this. I had thought that each state was if you like a separate forum and that there were helpful posters simply for each state..that is why you scan to the state you wish to talk about. It is not very clear for newcomers. my apologies.
