Williamsburg, Virgina is the #3 vacation spot in the US--about 5 to 5 1/2 hours from York, PA (above Baltimore,MD) but you can make it in 3 1/2 hours or less if you travel back routes! It's full of Colonial History--been there a couple of times ! Plus you can now buy Busch Gardens/Water Country tickets for $69.00/adult for a 7 day unlimited, bounce ticket! Eat at one of the taverns in Colonial Williamsburg--worth the cost--but go in the evening and book early! Yorktown and Jamestown--more history stuff--home of Pocahontas! Ocean City, Maryland for the beach--not the prettiest of beaches (I've been to the Carribean--nothing compares) but the atmosphere is awesome and there's tons of stuff to do and it's about 3 hours from York also! check out Assateque(?--Spelling) to see the horses on the beach! O.C,'s boardwalk is right along the beach and has a 2 smaller amusement parks and tons of stores and popular bars and side street shops and restaurants! Maryland Blue crabs are the best! Phillips Seafood Restaurant out around 134th street area is a great seafood buffet for around $25.00/adults and $10.00 for kids! Rehobeth Beach, DE has cobblestone streets and small bourtiques but not a lot of activities--Henlopen Beach is nice in Rehobeth but you pay a fee to swim for the day! New Jersey has similar beach areas! Raystown Lake is nice for camping/lake swimming--located in PA! Poconos are nice resorts but a little pricey! Philly has alot of Culture but certain areas are dangerous and Philly can be expensive! take a tour of the most Haunted Prison in America--it housed Al Capone! Called Eastern State Pentitentary! Lancaster, PA to see the Amish if you're into that! Gettysburg, Pa if you're into the Civil War! Tons of Battlefield areas to tour--take a Ghost Walk tour--it's spooky if you like that stuff--try eating at the Dobbin House_-authentic, original tavern! depending where you are in Pa--New York City is within a couple of hours drive! Washington, D.C. is about 90 minutes from York, Pa! Tons of free stuff to do--lots of walking! Virginia has a place called Crystal City that is a hotel/shopping area completely underground! Virgina Beach, Virgina(about 6 hours from York,PA) is a nice beach but the boardwalk is one block back from the beach--the boardwalk/shopping strip id fairly safe--tons of police patrols but don't stay more than 3 blocks back from the beach--police will tell you it's very dangerous! Inner harbor in Baltimore, MD is nice and along the water(not the beach) but in town can be dangerous! Fells Point for the bars/clubs! Annapolis, MD for cobblestone streets, intimate shops and tons of boats! Very Nauitcal! Hershey, Pa for the chocolate experience--nice amusement park! Chocolate tours! Hope all this helps! If all else fails go to Disney World in Orlando, Florida or my personal favorite Miami's South Beach in Miami Beach, Florida!

Answer 2

Where are you starting from? Even the country would be helpful.

Edit, well local things I guess but you could drive to Ontario in less than a day. The US dollar is worth about 10% more than the Canadian dollar so that's a bit of a savings right off the top.

Also you can look at this site for ecoupons:

Here's a site for general info:

Passports are not required to cross the border if you are driving.

Hopefully, you can get some more people to help out with ideas.
