Hopefully you and your wife have a great trip |
We all can make more money, but I don't think paying 4k to surprise visit Flint, Michigan is what I'd call an ace invesfment.

WGAF, sounds like a lot of fun could be had.
Some of you sound like cheapskates that would call meating Sweet's at motel 6 good value vacation |
I do understand the laughs at the idea of St. Louis being your destination, but that's kind of the whole point of an idea like this - explore fun things to do in the U.S. that you might not have thought of. I'm confident that you could find a way to successfully occupy yourselves in St. Louis for three days and have a great time. Pretty much any decently-sized city will have a few cool museums, a few sporting events, maybe a random concert you could go to, some nice restaurants, and a brewery or distillery you've never heard of.
As a caveat (and possibly an explanation for the polarized responses in this thread), my wife and I really value travel and probably get on 2-3 mini-vacations per year. If you're the type to only travel once every couple years, a program like this might not work for you, and that's OK. |
I wonder where the people were from who got St. Louis
This type of thing is a gateway vacation. Next thing you know you are getting kidnapped by strangers from some adventure website and wake up on an ocean freighter. Be careful, have fun, like was stated before it’s just money memories > money |

For that budget, I'm sure it'll be DC, NYC, SF, Seattle, San Diego, etc; and if it is somewhere off the radar, it'll still be pretty damn nice. |
I'm curious as to how much they put down for Budget to get St Louis...

I don't know. I can see how it would appeal to some folks, but based on the testimonials, it seems like a lot of folks end up in Denver.
If they are asking where you want to go, why not just go there? I would also hate to stay in a hotel anymore. I suppose the right compromise for me would be either my wife or myself surprising the other with a trip to a city staying at an AirBnB and letting our host give recommendations on what to do in the area that is off the beaten path. That said, good luck, have fun, and make a lot of memories! |
Here is a trip for around $2,000:
Flight from Des Moines to Atlanta for two: $726 Two night stay at cool Tree House AirBnB: $750 https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1415908 City Pass for two (Gets you into Georgia Aquarium, Coca Cola World, CNN, and other museums: $166 Helicopter Tour for two: $130 Southern Food Walking Tour for two: $150 Total: $1922 I had never thought about a quick Atlanta vacation, but that AirBnB looked pretty cool..... |
