New Years roadtrip, need some ideas

My girlfriend and I had hopes of taking a couple weeks after Christmas to make a nice roadtrip through the south, maybe to New Orleans. I was just laid-off unexpectedly and she can't afford to single-handedly pay for the trip.

So now we are looking for something a little bit closer to home. Something within 15- to 20-hour drive of Boston that we can spend a couple days at would be good. We were thinking Nova Scotia, but the high-speed cat ferry doesn't run in the winter months.

Thanks!

One of my favorite places in the world at Christmas time is Quebec City. Montreal is a close second. Quebec especially has an old-world flavor of Christmas that I love. Wherever you go, have a wonderful trip.

I AGREE GO TO QUEBEC CITY AND STAY IN THE OLD SECTION. ON YOUR WAY GO THRU "JACKMAN" MAINE THEY HAVE A WEBSITE. THIS IS EASTERN WILDERNESS AT ITS BEST. THERE IS A NEW MOTEL IN JACKMAN IF BOARDING TYPE HOUSES DO NOT APPEAL TO YOU. GOOD LUCK GEO.
