Where to go outside of the continental US for June 14 weekend?

[Anonymous]

Current considerations (based on United shortish nonstop flights): Puerto Rico, Quebec (would have to fly to Montreal - but Montreal is sold out that weekend for racing event), Toronto, St Thomas, Burlington and drive to Canada. It would be just for 2 full days, 2 or 3 nights, no kids, at least good food and somewhere to walk around. Oddly enough, we've never been to Canada.

Canada makes sense given the short time you have and that you've never been there. Plus in June I'd rather go somewhere cooler than DC rather than a warmer place. An option you didn't list is flying to Buffalo and driving to Niagara Falls/Niagara on the Lake; I've done that and had a good time!

Why does it have to be outside the US? It sounds like this is a kid-free weekend so you should maximize the time to "reconnect" and not waste it all day flying.

Hudson Valley, Maine or Berkshires.

Flying all day sucks and if the weather changes it's a crapshoot. Do something local. I love the Salamander in Middleburg or the Pendry in Baltimore, MD.

Toronto is an easy 3 day trip. Plenty to do. Good public transportation. Museums, ferry to the islands, nice gardens and walk along the lake.

With that short amount of time, I think it’s an appropriate question to ask. Why is leaving the country a criteria?

Ottawa is often overlooked. There are direct flights from DC.

Seems pretty obvious why when you look at the date. Personally I don't have any desire to leave town- this is my city, f--k that guy and his fascist parade. But I understand the sentiment, and it's really not that hard or time consuming, plenty of options within 3 hour flight time.
