New Journal Entry

Image6/3/10 - Made reservation at the HIE in Lititz for 3 nights starting 6/17, as work schedule has been rough.

6/14/10 - Modified reservation as would get there too late to appreciate the fine room after work.  Decision was made to start from home Friday morning (6/18 - only 1 hour+ from South Jersey). Already had a list of places to check out via yahoo travel, but others via the visitpa web site (and links from there...) to have various options for the weekend.

6/22/10 - Post trip view for all.  We used the schedule function to show the when and where of what we actually did, and left the "unscheduled" for another time...or for you!  Check out helpful hints on the trip plan for info.  Hope you enjoy your fine weekend or vacation stop as well!  Chuck and Beth

Enjoyed your trip report. Others can benefit from your experiences. We were there in 04 before I started putting trips on Yahoo. My biggest disappointment was the food, after a few days, I was dying for a good Mexican or Thai place.

Thanks and I hear you Kenny. I only recommend a 3-day weekend at most, and less if a vacation stop. Because there is a lot more to explore close by... Like Gettysburg (close), or anywhere in all directions within 3 hours. Check out visitpa.com. You're within reach of many cool destinations with a variety of different opportunities.

I have done all these things and more. I have stayed out in this area dozens of times over the past four years, and befriended some amish people. I have eaten in their homes and attend sunday services (mennonite). There is still much for you to see and learn there .. you did the more commercial end of it. I never get tired of it..such peaceful, loving people We need more of that. If three days,or even overnight, is all I have, it is worth the two hour drive from NJ out there. I have brought people with me and they saay the same thing - and are amazed by the beauty of simplicity.

I hope you enjoyed your trip, Brenda! The Jersey shore is very cool, and Amish Country is, as well! Outside the cities (not to say views there too!), there is so much history and awesome scenery!
