Hi,

I am getting remarried in mid August. My fiance and myself are in our mmid 40's and we are a little late in planning a honeymoon. We live in New York City and both enjoy beaches and good food and wine. WE both need a relaxing vacation. Can anyone suggest some place special to go that doesn't cost a fortune? I appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Maria

Maine would be my first choice. From the 'big city' of Portland to Acadia National Park, Maine has beaches, scenery, shopping, parks, about anything you would want.

Maybe Nova Scotia or another Maritime Province of Canada? I've never been there, but with the exchange rate, you get a good bang for the buck.

I'd have agree. You could drive up from NYC to Bar Harbor. (8-9 hours). Make a stop over in Boston for a night or two. Then up to Maine. Bar Harbor has plenty of B&B's that are under $100 per night.

Hi Maria,

Congrats on your wedding! I also live in near NYC. My husband and I enjoy going to Cape May, NJ for a weekend getaways. Very relaxing with great B&B's. August is still peak season but prices aren't that crazy. We honeymooned in Hawaii!! Best of luck with everything.

For good food and wine at great prices, no place can beat Montreal, or Quebec City. No beaches, but unbeatable places for a honeymoon eurpoean, urban setting. Of course there are lots of lakes in French canada not too far from these cities if you desire some time in the country also.

To the top for Maria
