Looking for short trip ideas in these states: New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts ... any ideas? -

I m looking for a place to visit before or just after the holidays for a few days in these areas but nothing as far as Philadelphia or Boston.

Just after the holidays: the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA(http://www.nrm.org/)...and just being in the Berkshires at that time of year is unforgettable. You ll love it.And from Western Mass., Vermont is only a short ride north. Manchester/Arlington/Bennington: lovely places.Head west from there and you re in Saratoga within 45 mins. Relax in the mineral baths. No tourists, no hassles, no problem.

None of them. Avoid the Northeast in the winter, it is cold and the area is prone to crippling winter storms that can easily ruin your vacation. My advice: come back in the summer when it s nice

Visit the Poconos. They are very scenic and beautiful.http://www.800poconos.com

So whats this nonsense I hear about racism in Austin Texas? -

I thought that this was the cool part of Texas? what s up people?

There are ignorant people found in populations all across the United States, but luckily, since Austin is ranked as one of the more educated and diverse communities in the nation, run ins with racism are few and far between around here.So, you heard wrong this time. I hope this helps.

I ve lived in Austin for most of my life and I have seen very little racism. I m black and I live in a really diverse neighborhood. There are people from Kenya, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Mexico all on my street. One year a woman that worked in Lakeline Mall was caught following black people around the store because she thought they were going to steal things. It was caught all on tape and broadcast on every news station. Everyone was pretty upset.Austin is really diverse. Almost half of the population is Mexican, at this point anyone racist just would nt be accepted.

As much as most Austintes pride themselves on being liberal, diverse, and forward thinking, I m sad to say that there is still a portion of the population that doesn t fit that mold. Frankly THEY are in the minority, so it s possible to encounter them but it doesn t reflect the feelings of the community as a whole. Let s face it, there are people of all kinds everywhere you go.

I want to visit USA next summer for a holiday but unsure where to go:? -

Ive visited the west coast, ie L.A, San Fran, Seattle etc so I would rather focus on other parts. I cant make a decision on where to choose. I want to visit a couple of cities, anyone have any ideas? Which cities are underrated in your opinion. If you think i should visit certain areas, let me know and back up your thoughts too , thanks
