Stay someplace nice…with a comfy bed.

Walkable or easy to get a cab/uber if I fly.

Good food.

Something to do during the day. Could be the beach, or could be sightseeing. I’m an urban hiker who enjoys 30k steps in a city or bustling town, but I have zero interest in hiking in the woods.

I have a passport and I’m fine with a long flight even for a short trip as long as it’s nonstop.

I’m truly curious what others would do: where would you go, where would you stay, where would you eat, and how would you spend a fabulous few days?

I already posted but with this I’d reiterate Chicago or New Orleans. Maybe San Juan but I’d be a little nervous about hurricane season so wpikd want refundable (I guess that could also be true for New Orleans). Mexico City also a solid option but you’d lose basically two full travel days with having to get to airport early for international flight, customs, etc.

Thx, pp!

I regularly travel to Chicago for business and have visited New Orleans several times in the last decade. Ditto for San Juan, but it’s on my list since it’s so easy and always fun…plus, I love the beach.

I love Charleston and coastal SC, but I heard The Sanctuary is charging obscene rates this fall.

I found cheap flights to Iceland and Lisbon, but there’s a part of me that wonders if I should just push it and head to London or Paris. I far prefer Italy, but that’s too far for a long weekend.

Any tips on a nice beach resort/hotel in southern Florida that wasn’t impacted by the recent hurricane? I’m not a fan of South Beach; I prefer quiet beaches.

Any Caribbean destinations with direct flights? I found one to Grand Cayman if I’m flexible with dates (they don’t have nonstop flights every day).

Charleston or La Jolla/San Diego

I would go to San Antonio, San Diego, New York, or Chicago. Or lodge at woodloch for a not urban experience

Also Savannah, New Orleans

Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Mexico City, San Fran, Boston

I would go here and pick what looked both interesting to me and a good price: https://www.united.com/en/us/destination-map/

Your mileage and budget may vary, but I'd probably pick Minneapolis or Milwaukee if I hadn't already been to both. My reasoning is I like cities and leaves are probably gone most places by late October anyway.

If driving, Philly, Brandywine Valley + Delaware, Richmond, Roanoke, Staunton, but this depends so heavily on what you like, why you're going, and what other places you've been recently or ever.

Charleston, Austin, NYC, Santa Fe.
For foliage, any towns down I81.

I would either go to Puerto Rico or New York City. I would have said Asheville or North Georgia but they will probably still be recovering from the hurricane.

Inspired by a travel forum I used to hang on:

OP's descendants from Mars, in a few hundred years: "I'm going to Earth for a few days. What's there to do there?"

Chicago. Go to a museum, maybe a show, eat good food.

Or New Orleans, same.

Or drive up to Shenandoah with a couple good books and stay in one of the NPS cabins. Sit outside and read. If they are still serving the blackberry cobbler, that alone is worth the drive.

I need to go somewhere…anywhere.

Where would you go? What would you do?

I can drive or fly from the DC metro area.
