I need help with 3 day weekend vacation ideas?

Question

I live in Ri and am looking to get away for 3 days. I'm not looking to spend more than 500$ in rentals and stuff.

The idea I had was going to New York City, but it is looking a bit expensive.

My other idea is to spend 3 days on a boat, but I can't seem to get any information on renting a boat for 3 days. I don't want a cruise, just rent a power boat or something. One with a cabin. Would that be less than 500$?

I am looking for an answer with at least some details so I'm not looking blind. Perhaps someone in the RI/MA area that has done this before and can give me as much info as possible. Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you need to up your budget, especially with today's gas prices. I would try www.craigslist.com and look in the Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket  area for off  season-(after labor day) . good luck-

Answer 2

I find good prices on Travelocity.  They have a search engine that allows you to search only for deals that depart from your hometown, and many of them are less than $500.  You can include the flight, hotel, car, or take out any of those that you don't want or need.
