Where to go with 5 days off?

[HUNCH]

What's your total price range for the whole trip?

[GrayStangGT]

Haven't really set a budget, but anything under $1500 would be acceptable.

Phoenix, I hear it's beautiful this time of year.

[Geor!]

Vegas!!!!

I thought the same thing!!!!

[Baba Ganoush]

Pick a spot on the gulf coast to drive to, rent a nice little place near the beach, you'll figure out the rest.

Gulf Coast, Historic Route 66 to Vegas, Taos, Shreveport, New Orleans all come immediately to mind.

Shreveport? Really?

[GrayStangGT]

Just checked on Vegas flights and southwest wants $759, screw that I payed less than that last year for flight and hotel at Aria. Unfortunately they are the only ones that offer nonstop to vegas from Midland.

Drive up to Colorado (SW/SE, skip the burny portions).

$438 on Spirit, nonstop
$464 on US Air, nonstop

you just need to leave and return to DFW....

Well it is sort of last minute...

[GrayStangGT]

Yea but if I'm going to vegas the ticket has to be cheap so I can justify what I'm going to spend at craps. It is looking more and more like I'm just going to pack my bag and drive somewhere I've never had a beer before, then figure out where I'm going next from there.

I know this isn't what you asked, but I'd stay at home and leave that $1500 in the bank and wait until I could form more concrete plans.

Camping? You don't know camping...

We just got back from a week here:



The last one shows the clouds rolling in over the mountains. It was awesome!
