Lancaster, Pa., doubles your holiday tripping by half

Many Washingtonians begin the Yule-time season with a trip to see a Broadway show, followed by fine dining, gallery visits and, of course, shopping, shopping and more shopping.

These same people are often programmed to sign up for bus trips to New York which offer, for one group price, an exhausting day of activities that starts at 6 a.m. and ends with a bleary-eyed drive home from a cold parking lot after midnight.
