City Data Friends,

I have some vacation time to burn.

Any ideas for an extended weekend? Maybe a 4 day trip (Thursday - Sunday). This will be around mid-November.

Somewhere warm would be nice, but it's NOT a requirement.

I'd like for there to be interesting things to do. This can be anywhere, from very local, to very far (West Coast). I'd like for there to be at least a little nightlife/restaurants, etc.

It looks like I'll be likely traveling by myself since I cannot find a travel companion. Anybody want to join!??

Any and all ideas are welcomed.

DC, Philly, Boston, Miami (I can only take that town in small doses so 3-4 days is good) If you can do 5 days there are singles cruises.

Las Vegas! I can pack in an hour.

The Bahamas or Puerto Rico are good choices, too.

And there's always New York City. Get a room, go as a tourist.

Haha, well I was in Vegas only a few months ago...

And NYC ... considering I'm in NYC roughly 6-7 days per week, I probably wouldn't "vacation" here!!!

Niagara Falls is a super quick flight away, and a lot of fun! (Not warm though!)

That is a place I'd like to visit, but I'd feel weird (and maybe bored) doing that all by myself!!

Well, if you want to stay local what about NYC? There is soooo many things to do there that people who live in the area take for granted and never do. You can stay in a nice hotel centrally located with the money you would save on airfare to anywhere else. Party it up see a couple shows check out some of the museums, typical "tourist" things

For somewhere warm, what about PR? I LOOOOVE it there! The flights are short enough that it won't be a waste to go there for a long weekend, there is a vibrant nightlife in the Old San Juan area, lots of beautiful old Spanish architecture , casinos, beautiful beaches, friendly people , good food, historical sites things are pretty cheap theres lots of outlet shopping and best part is since its part of the US you don't have the hassel of visas/customs etc. and if you go to the drug store/supermarket you will find all your favorite brands. Jetblue flies there really cheap. If I had some money and vacation time i'd be on the next flight! Sadly, I have neither..
