What is a nice cheap weekend getaway for a couple in New Jersey?

Go to upstate New York and find a bed and breakfast. Or, go to Long Branch or one of the places along the Jersey shore. It’s the off season so the place will be dead, and you can visit all the little shops and stuff.

Create a video blog…instantly.

Visit New York City – Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The very best getaway I ever experienced was to tell everyone I was going to NYC. Then I just stayed home, stayed in doors so they didn’t know I was there, and later pulled out old photos and made up stories about all the things I had done. It’s harder to pull this off than you think because it’s very tempting to go outside.

One time I did that, and while everyone knew I wasn’t gone, I had a great time. That time I MADE myself go to all the tourist attractions close to home and just see my local community as a tourist would. Believe it or not, that was a better getaway than taking a trip. The key on this one was to go to TOURIST things, and to not fall into the trap of going to the mall, the grocery store, etc – all the things that are part of your daily work. One way to make it more that way is to eat every single meal out that week (or whatever time period) and to not turn your television on AT ALL during that time period. Make sure you go to a lot of movies, museums, art galleries, and all the other fun stuff you might overlook in the hustle and bustle of your daily life.

You’ll be surprised how much fun you’ll have. Better than taking a trip, and less expensive, too.

New Jersey

Cape May (the city) is well known for its romantic B&B’s.

There’s still walking on the beach even tho’ the weather’s getting cool and there’s a downtown pedestrian mall that has excellent food and shopping.

As it’s off-season, rates will be lower and crowds will be non-existant.

Really recommend it highly.
