Hi,

With the U.S. dollar relatively weak, where are some affordable places to go in late-November / December that offer decent weather? I am interested in destinations that offer history, culture, nature, wildlife, and/or hiking, rather than a beach location. Suggestions?

Thanks.

Are you coming from Chicago? If so, Ride the "City of New Orleans". You can even make a 24 hour stop in Memphis. Just guessing from your post name.
