For those of you who identified Ohio as the dark horse in the 2009 vacation election, you were correct. B has been planning a road trip that involves stopping at Cedar Point and the neighboring coaster parks (I think there are 2-3 in the area) with a possible stop at a coaster park in PA (Pittsburgh maybe?). If a week of screaming our heads off isn't enough fun, we can stop at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame for a sock hoppin' good time and maybe schedule a detour to Toronto or Niagara Falls.
B's trip sounded coasterific, and I thought that it could be balanced well with something a little more sedate, white gloves optional (no, we're not joining the Junior League). One of my coworkers recently came back from a visit to the new Hard Rock coaster park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and he raved about it. I knew that B wanted to visit a coaster park, so I planned a trip around the Hard Rock park.
We could begin in Myrtle Beach and visit the park and other MB attractions (a new shopping area is getting rave reviews) and maybe take a beach or pool day. Next we'd drive to Charleston and take in some history--plantation tours, Fort Sumter, the old town, and all of the fabulous Southern cooking these two Yanks can eat. Our final stop would be Hilton Head for some golf (for B), spa fun (me), and relaxation.
We're not going to make any decisions until we get back from Italy, so we have several months to think about these itineraries and any others that pop into our heads. We don't know where we'll end up next year, but with the euro crossing $1.60 today, I think it's safe to say that we won't find ourselves back in Europe any time soon...
