Take a Staycation in Philadelphia

"Staycation, all I ever wanted. Staycation, I have to get away." Okay, so maybe a staycation isn't as great as a real vacation but according to the travel pubs, everybody's doing it. So if your budget doesn't afford you that romantic voyage to Paris or even just a regular old road trip to Wally World, you can at least pretend you've left town by checking into a glam hotel or B&B (The Gables, left) right in your own proverbial backyard. It may not be Europe but doesn't it beat tackling that dreaded rainy day "to-do" list?

Eating Out in Atlantic City

Sure. There was a time when Atlantic City's dining choices were limited to cheese steaks, taffy and buffet food that would go uneaten in an army barracks. But times have changed. The city has gone upscale (at least here and there) and part of the change has been the introduction of a few restaurants that would be sought-after in Philadelphia or New York--even if there wasn't a blackjack table calling your name from around the corner.
