My job keeps me near the equator a lot, so I tend to miss out on the change of seasons that places further north experience. I am thinking of taking a little time off next month and maybe get away somewhere further north for a few days. Any suggestions for where to go to experience the best of Autumn?

New York is full of fun things, of course, but you don't get the color changes in the city that you do elsewhere, unfortunately. Back in my home state of PA, though, I can heartily recommend the Poconos for some gorgeous foliage.

Yeah, NYC's got a lot to do, but was looking for something more nature-y. I'll have to look into the Poconos, see what all's there. Any recommendations for places to stay or things to do out there?

There are some absolutely charming little B&Bs and towns. I suppose it all depends what you're in the mood for.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

I'm in the resort business, but charming little B&B's are great.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Charming B&Bs offer things that resorts don't sometimes. It's all about flexibility.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

There's a personal touch to them that resorts can't quite replicate.

[ill-met.insanejournal.com]

Exactly. You get some perfectly personalized touches. Of course, this also has the downside that someone always has a good idea of what you're up to. ;)

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

I'm an open book, so that wouldn't bother me any.

Pennsylvania also hosts a National Apple Harvest Festival in October, I believe, and there's a PumpkinFest in Confluence that should be coming up soon. If you'd prefer somewhere outside of the United States, I hear the Great Masurian Lakes of Poland are lovely this time of year, as is Hokkaido, Japan.

Little community festivals, now that's a charming idea. I'll definitely have to coordinate my trip around one.

[venusingucci.insanejournal.com]

Every now and again, it's nice to enjoy more rustic charms. I'm sure you'll find one that will delight you.

Washington's always a nice place. And you're always welcome on my doorstep.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

I think I'd get really cold if I'm only allowed on your doorstep.

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

I'll warm you up the same way I do Mel. Hot baths and warm beds.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

That does sound nice.

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

Trust me, you'll love it.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

It is fucking freezing up here. You are a little out of your mind to want to experience it.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

What is freezing to you?

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Anything below 65.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

It'll be a nice change from the norm for me.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Wanna trade?

[She's kidding....kind of.]

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

Don't I keep you warm enough, my delight?

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

You can't keep me wrapped up 24/7, Sunshine. The drafts get in.

[aegletes.insanejournal.com]

Damn. I'll just have to remedy that.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

I don't know about a trade, but if you'd ever want a vacation to somewhere warmer, I could always accommodate.

[inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com]

Tempting. You have no idea.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

The Washington contingent seems welcoming. I hear Maine is really nice for the full autumn experience.

[originaladonis.insanejournal.com]

True. Been up that way before, the weather's a little more gloomy than I care for. Maine might be nice.

[chose-fire.insanejournal.com]

I'm from Maine, so I can say that yes, fall is definitely great there.
