"Why not start with the experts for ideas that can take you beyond a state's well-known attractions," notes Nancy Byrne, executive director of the New Jersey Office of Travel and Tourism, who offers these planning tips:
•State tourism Web sites generally offer an annual travel guide, as well as other topic-specific guides and brochures such as golf, outdoor adventures, family attractions, and cultural celebrations.
• Don't try to pack too much into your itinerary-leave extra time to get off the beaten path and explore.
• Experience local culture with alternative accommodations-a kid-friendly bed-and-breakfast or a rustic mountain inn.
• Look for "hands-on" experiences-learn to blow glass, make a wheel of cheese or feed sharks!
• Explore a famous venue-perhaps the historic horse racing park chosen to host the 2007 Breeders' Cup-at your own pace and without the crowds.
New Jersey's travel Web site features "101 Fun Things To Do" -things you
might not expect to find on a New Jersey vacation-from a wolf preserve, to
award-winning wineries, to an authentic rodeo. For a free guide, visit

treasures.
