OK ladies. BF and I are contemplating going to NYC in April OR Eastern Canada in June. Ideally, we'd go to the place we don't go in the spring, in the fall, but it may not happen. I know you're all full of opinions (and biases), so try to persuade me one way or the other. I am currently leaning to one side, but I could be swayed (I already have been at least once on this issue).
What each trip might look like (very generally, haven't really started planning):
NYC - late April
- fly out of Buffalo to NYC on a Thursday, come home on a Sunday or Monday; BF would have to take time off work, I wouldn't
- stay in a hotel, eat almost every meal out, get around via our legs and public transit
- hit all the key touristy points in NYC that we can in a short period of time
- I've been to NYC before, but not for a few years, and it was with school; BF has never been
Eastern Canada - June
- road trip through Quebec to the Maritime provinces from Ontario (trip would be a week to two weeks); we'd both have to take time off work
- camp in provincial parks primarily, staying in hotels occasionally
- hit as many locations as we can, by driving from place to place
- neither of us have ever been to Quebec or the Maritimes
