Free Delta Tickets-where to go?
We have won two free ($500 each) tickets on Delta. We have been to most of the usual US attractions, national parks and big cities. Any suggestions for an out-of-the-way, off the beaten track, trip? Must travel by end of May, 2012 coming from Richmond, VA.

so amazing that you suggested that! we were just looking at that option. any more detailed thoughts on that area--time to spend, where to stay, time of year to go, etc. ? we love that area--have been to Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, North Cascades, but not the islands. Thanks in advance!

with car rental cheap carrentals.com pretty awesome in summer
definitely out of the way...
anywhere in Alaska really though amazing.
Hawaii is nice if you have not been Big Island
Konaweb.com Stayhawaii.com my fav there
Volcanoes beaches less rain clouds than SEA
though I like Port Angeles Olympic NP area

I fell in love with the San Juans when I first visited. There are several islands with lodging options. You might want to flesh out the details on what you would want, secluded or in town?, luxury or casual?, budget limitations,and what kind of activities you enjoy. There is a wonderful blend of scenic beauty, outdoor activities and history on the islands.

Mackinac Island is in the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan. Delta flies in to the Emmet County airport 15 miles awya, or you can go into a larger airport downstate.
Although now a state park, the Island was originally America's

Fordor lost half of my post and I can't remove it. Lets try again...
Mackinac Island is in the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan. Delta flies into the Emmet County airport 15 miles away, or you can go into a larger airport down state.
Although now a state park, the Island was originally America's 2nd National Park. The Island is beautiful and 85% of the Island is undeveloped. The small community includes Fort Mackinac which was built during the American Revolution & contested during the War of 1812, the summer residence of the Michigan Governor, many small shops, restaurants & museums, perhaps 20 fudge shops, other smaller hotels and the world famous Grand Hotel where the movie Somewhere in Time was filmed.
No automobiles are permitted on the Island. You get around by food, bicycle, horse & carriage or horseback.
