I live in Chicago and I'm frikkin dying over here. I moved here two years ago from the south and this winter has been brutal. Just the worst.
I'm starting a new job soon and am off for two weeks right now. I feel like I should take a short trip to MIA...I don't know when is the next time I'll have two weeks off. It would be soooo awesome to get a short break from this scenery, and to clear my mind before starting the next job. Also my depression is really really bad right now and I'm hoping some sun would help
My issue is budget...I have $700 total to spend. I'm thinking $300 for flight, $300 for hotel, and $100 for food/going out. I would mainly just chill on the beach. With this budget I can only do like 2 1/2 days. Does this seem not worth even doing for the amount I'd be spending? Also, I can't find any flights that cheap for the weekend. I'd have to do a trip where I leave on a Monday and come back on a Wed night :/

for 2.5 days? stay at a cheaper hotel a few blocks from the beach and eat cheap at hole in the wall places by the beach.

There are better "chill out" beaches then Miami, as you have all the stresses of a big metropolitan area as well. Other places may be cheaper as well.
If you want florida - maybe further up the coast, or the west coast (as long as you don't mind sharing the beaches with the cast from "The Golden Girls").
I don't want to but it's high season in Miami right now and I don't know many hotels over 2.5 stars that are coming in less than low hundreds per night. I mean, I plan on bidding on the hotel do maybe it'll come in cheaper but I was accounting for if it didn't.

Hey buddy, i know how you feel.
i did a bit of searching for you and found the following....which i think is a better deal for you than going to MIA for 2 1/2 days.
take a look:
3 nights 4 days in Cancun. Direct flight included from MDW. All inclusive hotel. for $775
Source: Expedia
I'm sure you can search around and find even better deals.
MDW 7:03 AM CUN 9:41 AM Nonstop 3h 38m
CUN 10:35 AM MDW 3:12 PM Nonstop 3h 37m
Hotel: All inclusive Holiday Inn Cancun Arenas
Price: $775
Good luck.
Ps. I noticed that at checkout, they'll take another 100 off if you open a Credit Card with them. The total will then be around $670

Awww thank you so much for looking into that for me. I will take a look into this. Miami was really my preference but I'm open if I can get something for a longer number of days and still within budget.

You are welcome.
Also look into Punta Cana, La Romana, Puerta Valerta, and Puerto Rico, although i doubt you'd find direct flights there...and nothing beats a direct flight like the one i showed you to cancun. with so little time you have (3 nights), the less you can spend in transit the better.

I lived in Miami, I would second on the all inclusive for 775 over the trip to Miami.
One thing about Miami.. it is ALWAYS more expensive than you budget.

Agreed, especially if you just want to chill on the beach. Miami beaches are great but right now they are packed too. I guess Cancun would be packed too but it's a much better deal and IMO a better place to just chill.
