Need A New U.S. City
Hello
We've been to NY, NJ, orlando, tamp and miami FL, Aspen & Vale Colorado, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Denver and Washington (Capital)
What other U.S. Cities would you recommend for the month of Feb? We don't plan to go skiing/snowboarding this year, so it doesn't necessary have to be a snow town. - unless there is something better than aspen
we are a couple of 21 + 25
Thanks!!
Ashmita

There are sooooo many cities in the US. I guess just list some here?
Chicago, Boston, New Orleans, Charleston (SC), Atlanta, Savannah, Phoenix, Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, LA, San Diego, Seattle
And there are so many more. Any of them would be good any time of year. Obviously the northern cities are colder, but you can still survive and enjoy them plenty. I'd suggest either getting out a map and just seeing what strikes your fancy, or else post here with a LOT more information (budget & interests primarily) and people can help narrow it down for you.

New Orleans for Mardi Gras first weekend in Feb. Then on Wednesday after Mardi Gras Day, recover with a leisurely drive up to St. Francisville, Louisiana and Natchez, Mississippi and stay at a few plantations and B&B's.

Atlanta in Feb would be ok,you could get very lucky weather wise and enjoy a few 70degree days or highs of 20 and snow/ice! Exploring the North Ga mountains would be less crowds,and a trip up Stone Mountain would offer great,clear views with no haze/smoke!

TripleSec--I have a friend who does use the dart, a blindfold, and a big world map. That is how she and her SIL decide where they are going for 2 weeks every year. She has been to some amazing places. I'm not sure I have the guts to do that. I would probably keep throwing the dart until it came to a place I wanted to go to, lol!

What about Scottsdale AZ and the Sedona area of Arizona? The desert has weather that would not be too hot or too cold. It is a different climate than your used to. It also has great spas and golf if you like that sort of thing!

Well now knowing where you're from etc. I do think a month exploring southern California from the Baja peninsula up to maybe the Hearst Castle would be great. Otherwise, pick a few key southern cities to explore. New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston...
