Planning An East Coast Vacation

By Joseph Tranturder


If a family lives on the west coast of the United States, then chances are that an affordable, fun, and new vacation destination for this year's family get away could include the east coast of the country. The eastern United States is full of history, large cities, tourist destinations, and plenty of fun, which makes it a great option for those families that want to get away from their norm while not overspending or even leaving the country.

Planning a trip to the east coast is much like planning for other vacation destinations; expect that United States citizens do not need to worry about hassles with passports or other worries of foreign travel. Still, however, a family should plan carefully their vacation to the east coast so that the trip can be enjoyable for all without the family having to overspend.

Consideration 2: shady side. Put the wedding and festivities on the east side of a building or the trees to block the heat of the setting sun. You should also consider holding the reception after your wedding in a hotel. Many hotels offer beautiful spaces that would be perfectly appropriate for a wedding reception. If you live in the Stamford area, there are many hotels in Stamford that offer their spaces for weddings and wedding receptions. You could hold your wedding outside and then hold your reception in one of the many beautiful hotels in Stamford.

If, however, a family does decide to take a vacation to the east coast during the winter months, they should remember that the central to northern parts of the east coast will have winter weather and will perhaps have fewer attractions open to the public during the winter season. New England winters can be a great skiing destination, however, so if that is the type of vacation the family desires than winter would the appropriate season.

Consideration 4: wood furniture instead of cloth. Cloth seats soak up the heat from the sun and hold it inside for your guests. Wooden chairs resist the heat for longer, helping guests stay cool in their seats. Consider getting seats with open backs, or just putting your guests on open benches to allow a nice breeze to keep them dry.

Wedding venues and hotels in Stamford also often offer deals for those people who want to schedule their wedding during the off-season. Another thing you can do to save money is to have your wedding ceremony in the afternoon, on a weekday, or on a Friday night.

The first tip is that the east coast utilizes trains much more than does the west coast. For this reason, often a ticket on a train is all one will need to travel from city to city in the upper north east.

The second tip is directed to finding hotels. To save money and time, a family may wish to find lodging in hotels that are near but yet outside major population areas, bouncing from one hotel to the next on their way up or down the east coast.

Consideration 8: bug spray. This particular favor will largely be circumstantial. Some areas are more bug infested than others. If yours isn't too bad, you might not need to purchase this. If your location attracts a lot of mosquitos, bees, or other obnoxious pests though, you'll want to provide bug spray for guests to use on their way in. Also consider putting up a few bug lamps throughout to make sure the bugs have no inkling to come near. With the heat of the day at your backs, your guests won't suffer, and your wedding photography will reflect that. You'll be better satisfied with the events of the day, as will your guests. It's not too late for that dream spring wedding.
