ChoudeBruxelles did a similar thread last week but didn't want to piggy back onto that, although great suggestions there.
I have a return flight to JFK in September flying solo but no accommodation as yet. I was planning on JFK -flying to Niagara Falls - fly to Boston - then train to NYC (I think I posted prev about this). I'm on a very tight budget and that trip is now looking pricey.
I really can't decide what to do/where to go and it's hurting my brain.
I swing between getting the train to Washington via somewhere (Pittsburgh maybe?) and back up. Do I go to Boston (v. expensive so I have found) and explore around there? Is there another east coast train route I should do within the week?
Do I look for the cheapest JetBlue flight from JFK and go elsewhere?
Someone help me! Important info is I will be travelling alone, would prefer not to drive, I like trains, I'm happy travelling alone and don't mind moving about as being alone I get loads done in a shorter space of time. Ideally looking for cheap motel accommodation rather than hostel dorms (bit old for that now). I have been to NYC twice before so happy to explore other areas. Will prob do a night or two there on way back.
Has anyone travelled for a week solo on the East Coast or flown out of JFK for a cheap jaunt?!
