| Montreal? |
| Saratoga |
July or August (next year). Researching now. |
You are planning this trip 1 year in advance??? |
| Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Block Island, Newport, Black Point Inn in Maine, Hyde Park innHudson River Valley, Nemacolin, Greenbriar, Homestead: all driving distance from NYC. |
I'm researching this trip, 1 year in advance. And for what it's worth we looked at Atlantic city and many hotels are booked for July 2017 so I don't find it too absurd to research. I was able to check AC right off the list. |
Saratoga is ok, but I much prefer Lake Placid. Mirror Lake Inn is an excellent 4 star resort. Great restaurants, a superb spa and walking distance to the village. My other favorite place is the Mirbeau Inn in Skaneateles NY. Skaneateles is a gem of a Finger Lake and the village is cozy and quaint. Mirbeau is outstanding. |
You must not travel much. AC is not sold out 1 year in advance. It is too far in advance to book, just like you sometimes can't book flights over a year in advance. I have booked Borgata the week of for holiday weekends. One year a bunch of friends decided to go for New Year's. Trust me. You do not need to cross off AC due to lack of availability. |
You can cross it off due to it being a crappy place to go though. |
I actually traveled quite a bit, at least 4-5 times a year, prior to my triplets being born. But rarely inside the US. As for AC being crappy, we heard that too so we weren't too upset. |
