Hey guys, getting hitched in early April, the soon to be and I are looking for a decent place to take a honeymoon. I dont fly or ride on boats so looking to drive somewhere. Dont want it to be one of these high end places just a nice place with some things to do around. Been looking on the www but havent found much so thought Id come here.

thanks for the help and ideas :D

[hotrodharley]

can't help on a place to go but do want to CONGRATS TO THE BOTH OF YOU

[shawnp]

Dave, I said too that I never would fly. Well, that changed. I love the acceleration of take off and once you get up in the air, you can distract yourself with a video game, Ipod or alcohol!!! It is not that bad, trust me. There are plenty of drivable spots. Niagra Falls, the beaches on the east coast, great places to hit in Tenessee like Nashville and Gattlingsburg or go north into Canada.

Oh yeah... Congrats and remember, do not lock your knees when standing at the alter!!!

[suicidebomb]

Absolutely David, Congrats!!!

[itsabird]

[slowmotion]

Another one bites the dust! :D

Congrats!!

Dave, I said I would never fly then I had to and believe me it is not bad. I've only been to 2 places by plane but it was pretty awesome. You really need to consider it because it would give you many more options not to mention how much less time just driving. Whatever you decide to do have fun and be safe. Congratulations to you and yours.

:arrow: as close to niagra as you are, you might think about that, get a motel overlooking the falls. Im only 25 min. from gatlinburg, tn. we go often, its usually just lots of people walking up and down the streets. lots of small shops and thing to do. there is jewelry, clothing, shoes, candy shops etc. but not to expensive. they have an aquarium there if you have never been to one. you walk under many type of fish like huge shark, sting ray, plus fresh water fish, etc. If you just wate until you get there you can look around for a motel. april 16-19 pigeon forge has a rod run at the grand motel pigeon forge is just a couple of miles from gatlinburg. there both on hwy 66. not a lot of tourist in april., motels are cheeper through the week the prices are advertised on the motel billboard. : : :D congrats. by the way i've been married for 29 happy years. we started in church and we were in church today with two of my three sons and there wives, and 2 grand sons 7mo. and 27 mo. :?:

I with the masses on this one, Pidgenforge/Gatlinburg is a great place to honeymoon, lot's of things to do, a few old car and performance museums, in fact up until last yr. we always had a family camp out at Frozen Head State park for 3 or 4 days. Beautiful area over there and we always spend one day going to Gatlinburg, but hold on too your wallet, your new bride could take away your racing budget for 2009.

And Congrats.

thanks everyone !!

Flying is out for medical reason or I'd be on the big bird. Been looking at cabins in Gatlinburg much better prices then I was figuring on I think we've found a few thank you all, was looking for something just like this not to far, be warmer down that way then up here also.

I will be going that way April 13-18th so weather should be decent. Did I hear a rod show also :lol: mama already knows we will be watching some drag racing on the way home that saturday lol

[lookingaround]

yeah David i believe the grand rod runs is the 17 18 and 19 of April. there is thousand and thousands of people and cars there

[markadams]

David, tomorrow is my and my wifes 20th aniversary. Misery loves company. Just kidding. It has gone very fast. We love to vacation in Florida. Namely Orlando. Love Disney and all the things to do down there. My wife has a web site with a ton of rental properties listed and she e-mails about 10 or so and makes them offers on houses. There are a ton for rent down there. We normally pay about $65-$85 per night for a 3-4 bedroom house. Some tell us GOOD LUCK,(some are not that nice) while others go for it. I think we have done that the past 4 years and have been shocked every time. Many homes just sit empty. Many are owned by people in England. (Don't know why.) But good for anyone who wants to vacation there. Dealing privately cuts costs for you. A little leg work will save you a ton. Myrtle beach in SC is pretty nice at that time also

I lived in Buffalo for 40 years so be careful, it could still be snowing in Niagara Falls in April. I now live in South Carolina and don't miss the cold or snow at all.

Good luck and enjoy. Mark

[mopar1968]

Me and my wife will be at the rod run also, we will be in HER Challenger, vitamin c orange in color.
