Jordan Lake is nearby and is a great place to go camping. If the beach is more your thing, Wrightsville is only about two hours away. The area features many affordable accommodations if you plan on staying for multiple days. Keep in mind that some hotels require you to stay multiple days during peak season.
If you have a moderate budget, between $500 and $1,500, a cruise might be a possibility. Cruising starts with a wide range of complimentary dining options all included in your cruise price, and all available on your schedule. The freedom continues with entertainment for everybody from Broadway shows to supervised activities for kids and teens. When it's time to recover from the excitement, you can retreat to luxurious If you have an unrestricted budget, you are free to explore almost anywhere in the world. However, you don’t have to fly halfway around the world to experience other cultures. New York City is a cultural mecca, with residents from every edge of the globe. It features ethnic neighborhoods such as Little Italy and Chinatown. They offer a similar experience as traveling to those countries, all without ever leaving the United States. This is truly a global city, it has something for everyone, from going to a Yankees game to seeing a show on Broadway.
