Hi everyone, we are a couple in our late 20's who will be driving the loong drive from New Philadelphia,Ohio to Newark,NJ on 12th July this year. Our flight home to N. Ireland is on 13th July, but its not until 9pm.
Another thread suggested somewhere in PA or Delaware might be nice to stay the night and spend the next day before driving onto the airport at Newark?
I guess i was hoping people could maybe expand on that and shout out some areas in and around the PA/ Delaware area that wouldnt be too much hasle or take too long to get to Newark, but also have nice places to eat and see for the day? We arent oo fussy, we are intersested in alot of things....
Thanks in advance!
Where to see/stay for the day/night before driving to Newark airport, NJ?

To clarify -- Delaware Water Gap is on the border between Pennsylavania and New Jersey, on the Delaware River. The state of Delaware is really too far from Newark Airport to be a reasonable choice.
Check the area around Hershey PA or Harrisburg which is 10 miles to the West. Hershey is a nice little town with several things to see about chocolate. Hotel Hershey is very nice but well above your price.
Easy 2 hour drive to Newark Airport via US 78.
capxxx ahh right, no problem thanks
If you like gardens, then Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa would be a possibility. Or would visiting the beach/ocean/boardwalk and amusements be of interest?
i think we are going to go with New Hope, PA and/or Lambertville, NJ. for our one night stay- looks great.
Many thanks to all, and once again apologies for repitition of questions on different states, it has been brought to my attendtion by several people that this has irritated them- however as i explained to them i did not realise all questions by me could be seen by all i thought it was state by state.
thanks
