BEST US-HOLIDAY DESTINATION ?

[spartacus53]

Not a problem, besides, I was enjoying the banter with Treasure_Hunter and Dano I just hope it was also somewhat informative. It seems that we are both fond respectfully fond of your states and I am sure you would enjoy either destination. You may also want to consider a two week holiday and spend a week in each to get a full flavor of each state's uniqueness. That way there are no hard feeling when you appreciate New Jersey more :P

Then again, you may want to go back to my first post and read my disclaimer

I suggest a couple days in NY/NJ beaches, then Virgina Beach Va, then last head south to Florida beaches.......What better way to enjoy water hunting then to hunt several different beaches in different locations.........Plus that way your saving the best beaches for last...

Juneau, Alaska is nice in July,close to the ocean and some nice uncrowded beaches, and a chance to maybe find some gold. Good fishing and boating.Nice scenery and lots of wildlife to photograph. Just my 2 cents. rockhound

Alaska would be a fine destination too.

Then you can then drive 1865.40 miles (39.5 Hour drive) to hit Seattle, WA, which is just one of the 48 continuous states.

Just remember it's illegal in Alaska to feed the bears with your body parts!

If biscuits/gravy and grits are not on the menu,it's not worth going to.This should be your number one disqualifier.

I would also say NJ beaches. Also you are close enough to visit New York city, Philadelphia and Washington, DC within a days drive. You can get the most for your sightseeing in this area. The only problem is that the water is cold...

Amen , just try to find a good bowl of white or even the more tasty yellow grits North of a Southern State......In fact I think I will have a bowl now..............Mmmmmmmmmm

Ooops... Instant grits? Time between posts 11 minutes

Plain grits take 2 minutes to prepare and about 40 minutes to cook. Instant grits are available but (quote) “no true Southerner would serve instant grits”. (Does anyone remember the movie “My Cousin Vinny”?)

Great movie. And I will give NJ/NY the A+ in their great desserts they have in those Diners that I use to visit in the 50's.In the mid 50's,there was a great little bar also(can't remember the name)right under the GW bridge,NY side.Use to stop there before going on up Riverside Dr and onto the Merrit Pkwy and on up thru Ct.I loved NYC in those days.I was from KC,MO but born street-wise and got along/fit in with everyone.I was up in Maine when a boy from our old gang in KC graduated from the Merchant Marine Academy and was getting married to a girl he met who lived out on Long Island(Jew Town).I went down for the wedding and afterwards drove them to the airport and I went back to the reception which lasted for 3 days.What a time!

warsawdaddy; well if you're ever back up in this area again, I would not look for that diner and stay clear of that area even in the daytime. I bet it was a Greek diner too. My cousin owns 2, one is one of the most popular in NJ, the other is right up there in the middle of NYC If I had said the name most people in NJ have probably already eaten there. One thing that hasn't changed in NY, every ethnicity still has a niche here.

Parts of NY are not like they once were when I lived there. I am very street smart and wise enough to steer clear of many of these areas, especially outside of Manhattan.

Guess I should have said fixing, not fixed.....Not instant, Dixie Lily course ground quick yellow grits, not instant, not quite as good as old-fashioned grits, but almost and ready in 20 mins, I prefer mine a little coarse, and with cheddar cheese, not available at the time of My Cousin Vinny.....A fantastic movie I might add.....

Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, and Fred Gwynne are fantastic in the movie, it was also the great Fred Gwynne's last movie.

If you want grits in Alaska, I would recommend you taking your own with you. Almost everything else on the menu is available on the hoof, or in the stream.Happy hunting. rockhound
