Travel Around Your Town

Want to have a weekend getaway but don’t want to travel far?  Try a trip around your city or the nearest major city.

Find a hotel/motel room within your budget check in and pretend you are a tourist!

Grab some of those ever-present tourist brochures near the hotel desk and possibly discover places you never knew about or had forgotten about.  Most large cities have lots of museums, some which rarely get press, visit those, and look under museums in the phone book.

Wander the main streets of downtown (make sure the streets are well traveled and safe for wandering at the time of day) and visit some small bodega’s and shops.

Take the time to notice the architecture of buildings you may normally pass by.  Are there any gargoyles or other decorative pieces looking over the streets?  Street musicians may be found in many cities and some are very good.

You may find that you don’t know the city as well as you thought!
