| For various reasons, I'm really in the mood to go away someplace; however having started a new job, I have no time off and the most I could do would be leave from DCA on Friday evening and return Sunday afternoon. Question is -- where? I'd like to stay in the U.S. and a direct flight. I'd also love to be someplace where once you land, you can cab it to your location and be walkable -- so as to decrease the time renting a car, figuring out where to go, returning the car before the flight etc. I love small cities, music, football (too soon for that -- though I guess any sports are ok). And given that I'm a single woman, it has to be someplace where it's ok for a woman to be out alone at 10 pm. Thoughts? All I can come up with is Nashville. |

| Oh and I don't swim so I'm not a beach person. Much prefer to walk around a city/town than lying on the beach. |

Austin? Not sure how long of a flight, but if you could get direct that could be great.

Nashville is not 100% walkable, but is compact enough that cab rides are quick. Music, food, and lively.
Burlington VT also comes to mind. But might be smaller and sleepier than you want. |

| Burlington, vermont. Easy plane ride. i stayed at Hotel vermont which has free bicycles. Vibrant downtown within walking distance of hotel. |

Athens is awesome--great food and great music--but I can't imagine you can get the flights you want in and out of Athens, and flying in and out of Atlanta is a total PITA. I would take regular trips to Athens if it wasn't so damn hard to get there. |

| Boston is a good suggestion. Chicago? |

| Another vote for Boston. So much to do there. |

| I immediately thought Boston. North End for food, shopping, historic places, you could go up to Marblehead for a day. |

| Definitely either Boston or Charleston. They are both easy, short direct flights. I lean just a little more toward Charleston. So much charm and just about perfect for a quick weekend trip. |

| Savannah or Charleston. More direct flights to Charleston, I think. Both cities you can walk around for days. |
