Need some help from the PA guys

[brian ziegler]

Hey all,
I got a trip coming up in may to Middletown, Penn. and ill be staying up there for a couple of weeks for school at the Harrisburg campus. Im hoping maybe some of you PA guys could give me some tips on a cheap place to stay, good places to eat and maybe some of the sites worth taking in. The wifes coming with so its sort of a half-assed vacation, even though ill be in class 8 hours a day. The school has an offer to stay at the Best Western for $74 a night. Seems kind of steep seeing ill be there for 2 weeks. Anything you guys could tell me would surely be appreciated, and maybe save me a little bit of headache.

Theres a lot of good flyfishing in that area...it's also turkey season. If you can't hunt or fish you have to at least go check out the Hershey Chocolate factory in Hershey, PA. Its not to far from there. I'm not really close enough to give you more insight than that. That's a 5 hour drive for me.

Hershey is close for a hockey game and chocolate world. There is plenty of good craft brewers in the area. That price of the hotel sounds reasonable. Havre De grace is about and hour and a half away. There is Hollywood Casino in Grantville as well as a horse track.

There is a playhouse in Boiling Springs on the banks of Yellow Breeches that is pretty nice, a quick search will find it for you, they may have something going. Nice area to spend an afternoon and not far from where you will be.
