With the airlines adding high “fuel over charges” to the cost of expensive peak-season plane tickets, many Americans are working on a Plan B for their vacations this summer. Okay, so spending two weeks skipping around Europe might be best saved for the following years, but what to do, and moreover, where? Remember that you can still spend a cool summer no matter the costs and place, if you have the right entourage, the right friends and the right mood to make each day special and more fun than the previous one.

If, by mistake, your brain gets creative during summer, you will realize that there are loads of fun and rather cheap ways to best spent the coolest summer in US, without ultra-glamorous but dull and boring parties and persons you won’t see again. Scratch off your list crowdy cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles or any other Californian major city, cause this summer we’ll be doing it country-style. Sure, you might want to double consider not going to Las Vegas, because what better place to spend your hangover, if not surrounded by large casinos, palm trees and beautiful girls?
So, going back to the country-like summer vacation, here are some top destinations you want to cross off your list this summer while on your road trip. Vacation options near home are almost endless, tend to be charming and there are so many outdoors activities that you might want to check up, and why not, even like? If you are heading to New England, make a detour to Connecticut, Mystic Seaport. The historic fishing village also “features” a cool aquarium, wonderful downtown and, I know you think it- yes, Mystic Pizza. In New Hampshire, White Mountains you will get excellent hiking, gorgeous backgrownds and a full range of activities that will keep the entire family busy. You can also go from New Hampshire to Rhode Island, in Narragansett, where you definetely find the best beaches in the whole New England which are also surrounded by plenty of summer entertainment activities. Still, if you love hiking, you can’t possibly leave the area without going to Vermont to experiment Long Trail, the longest distance hiking trail that runs the length of the entire state.
Head then to Delaware in Dewey Beach where beaches are filled with a powdery sand that looks more like Copacabana beaches in Cuba. The island is one huge beach party that will last all summer long. Bikinis not required. Fore some more excitement added to your road trip, next stop to Pennsylvania in the Dutch County where you will find a large comunity of Amish. “It fell from the sky” is the only line that comes through my mind, from that Dexter’s Lab episode… So, what more to add? Bring a bunch of friends with you, keep your car filled with gas and a cool beer next to you, and you will have one hell of a s
ummer wandering through US.

We mainly all live in large communities of people, we have over-crowded buildings, streets, shops and so on. And while for some this hectic life may seem vivid and pure daily adrenaline, some got tired of their agitated existence and feel like trying something new. And this “something new” may be concreted in many ways, from talking to a psychologist for over-stressful periods, to going to spas, relaxation centers or taking a well-deserved vacation.
<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->
Sure, Caribbeans, Costa Rica, Australia or Europe sound delightful and will assure you a relaxed vacation and charge your batteries, but about those of us who really don’t afford paying a three-month salary or more just fore one week or 10 days of get-away? In the late years, the concept of budget travel has become highly popular for both families who can’t afford that much, as well as for wealthier people who got tired of getting scammed by travel agencies which large commissions. Just one click-away, on the Internet, you will find thousands of low-cost or budget travel holidays with special discounts for larger groups of people, students, new founded families and so on. And while many agencies propose to you far get-aways, mainly abroad, maybe this year could be a good year to start exploring intern tourism. Sure, large cities are always the most attractive ones, due to the vivid nightlife, colorful streets, multi brands store and many others methods of entertainment, but there are still noizy and may not appeal to those of you who want a more peaceful and quiet experience.
This is why you might want to consider going on a budget travel vacation, exploring the national tourism, in a quiet place where you can rebound with nature and learn new skills. I’m guessing you’re wondering where you can find all that? By going to a small town in America, of course.
Small towns developed their tourism a lot during the last decade, by investing in their local attractions and perfectly combining nature, fresh air to more city-like experiences such as non-stop markets, good designed bars and so on. So what is to say more than enjoy a funny road trip and visit some of these
coolest small towns in America: Milford, Pennsylvania is only 71 miles away from crowded Big Apple. Milford is popular with newcomers interested in its Victorian houses, while also being nearby the The 70,000-acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where you can experience bathing in waterfalls with no interdiction signs, long picnics and fresh, green grass smell near a well-done barbecue. What better way to spend at least one weekend of full recreation?
This proves that small communities can still have a solid economy, plus great schools, afforadable houses to rent or buy, low crime and a piece of that country-like so delicious and fresh existence that we all have forgotten about, in favor of greasy cheeseburgers and crowded night bars. Some other cool towns are:

New York, New York. The city of lights. The city that never sleeps. The big apple. Call it whatever you want, New York is just one, it’s unique and here you can find the peak of cosmopolitan life, people from regions across the globe, soul mates and best restaurants. Some come for pursuing happiness, some come for following bold, crazy dreams. Some succeed, some leave, some are born and never even get out of their district, but all of them are really blessed for being able to experience the quintessence of human development in the 21st century. And there are some more who came here for business, pleasure or any other short-term purposes, who will only get to see a little slice from this truly cosmopolitan experience that is called, in short terms, the New York City. Regardless to what you may see on television, to NYPD Blue, CSI New York or any other shows, life in New York is a one time experience that many want to live, at least for a couple of days. It is truly a city where bold dreams might come true if you really believe in them, a place where contemporary art found a new meaning, where designers make a statement, where people, by their attitudes, make an urban statement of what life really is, at the end of the day.

Oh, yes, we were talking about those of you who who are part of the 44 millions visitors annually that come in town and need a place to stay. If you are in search for the coolest hotel in New York, well, my friend, you are really in the search for the philosophical stone, as there is no such thing. You can’t slaughter so many hotels and determine just one as the coolest in town, as many luxury hotels fight year after year for the first position. Still, here’s a brief list of what some of the coolest hotels in New York look like:
East Village Bed and Coffee, best suitable for party animals. Though still packed with dive bars and pizza joints, this hotel also has its share of luxury condos, boho boutiques and fine bistros. Each room has a theme, you’re mintues away from classic bars that will allow you to party all night long, and you can rest your hangover in the morning, in the backyard under trees. Extra Jack included.
The Bowery Hotel is by far the best downtown hotel, which combines the neo-Edwardian vibe with the wonders of technology. Good prices for not so good area and brutal designs that float to gothic. Stripped floors and exposed piperework will guide you to decent restaurants that serve delicious Italian disges.
Hotel QT is the perfect place to crash in for all MySpace and Facebook generations. While it totally lacks baths and rooms for inhibitions, with sliding doors between the budoir and shower and small rooms, QT remains an einfant terrible. Stylish bunk beds, LCD TVs, iPod stations builtcoo into your bedside radio, free wi-fi access and a breakfast that will make you recover your strength. Topping with a swim- bar in the lobby that offers an incredible view of Times Square, QT is the kind of place from which you will walk away more tired than you arrived. Add daily Red Bulls to your menu and cancel sleeping hours, as multimedia experiences breath through each pore of the 140 rooms hotel.
