Need a cheap Vacation

Hoover · 01-28-2005, 11:58 AM

My wife will be done with Law School this spring. I can't wait to add a second income!!!!!!!! Anyway I would like to suprise her with a quick 4 day or so vacation. Where can I go for a reasonable price. I just want to go some place cool, to reward her.

Any Ideas, I'd like to keep it under 3K

Deadwood South Dakota.....then you could see Mount Rushmore, SPearfish, and all the other things, even go to Devils Tower

I went on a cheap vacation for New Years and it cost about $350, I think.

It seem like everytime we go someplace it costs us 3K...

Anyway, unless the location is Chicago, KC, or the Twin Cities we will need to fly, she doesn't like to ride in the car. Can you even fly to South Dakota?

Now I would like to go to Vegas. She is not into gambling so I wonder, but there is a ton of cool stuff to do there.

I was also thinking about going to DC, for an extended weekend.

If it's only four days, you're not going overseas, I presume.

It's hard to beat Manhattan as a quick getaway. I stayed at the Algonquin Hotel recently for about $300 a night, and it's got a great location just off Times Square. You can walk to Broadway Shows, go check out David Letterman, go through Central Park, and eat some really good food.

My second choice would be Charleston, South Carolina, but I think you can get more action in Manhattan if you're limited to four days.

Vegas.

Cheap and it has it all.

For a long time, I've wanted to go to Lake Tahoe. I like the whole quiet-cabin-on-the-lake thing, tho. If this vacation is a surprise for her, it really depends on what kind of vacations she prefers.

Yeah, we are both into that too, but we just went to Brithis Columbia again last year.

Deadwood is less than one hour drive from Rapid City's airport. You can get a taste of a mini-Vegas, coupled with cooler scenic beauty, and some interesting historic stuff too...

Skiing, snow-mobiling, fishing and hunting that you won't find in Vegas too.

I'm not sure how good an idea the surprise part is. She just might want a say in where she's going. And you should appreciate her input since she's smarter than you.

Ghostof · 01-28-2005, 12:17 PM

I plan on heading up to Deadwood and hitting all the sights in the area in a few more months, like May or June.

I-29 North to I think 90 West...

Btw,,,,DEADWOOD comes out on DVD on 2/8/05...just a few more days..Finally

ahhh she doesn't care, but I'd tell her if it was Vegas

Drop a couple hits of acid, you will take a trip without ever leaving home.
