Southeast city to escape NE cold and snow.

Seeking inexpensive interesting destination end January early February. Not necessarily Florida. Perhaps North Carolina to Georgia. The less actual travel the better. No snow. Temperatures above 50 degrees. Single male traveling alone. Any suggestions?

HHHMM, I lived in Atlanta and it only snowed usually one day or so, but it is still very, very cold, North Carolina even colder...Maybe consider New Orleans or Savannah if you want "the Southern" charm without coming as far south as Florida. I am looking forward to some other suggestions you may get...have a good time wherever you go !

We loved Charleston, SC. Beautiful waterfront, interesting history, lovely town, good food.

New Orleans is an interesting idea. I've been in northern Fla. (St Augustine) in Jan/Feb & it's been freezing! Charleston or Savannah might work too. Check temps on wunderground.com

You'll have to go to a coastal region. The weather buffs here can explain it better than I can, but the temperature doesn't vary as much at the coast as it does inland.

Historically, the third week in January is the coldest in central North Carolina. About the time of year we get snow. Yuck. I dream of the Caribbean at that time of the year.

Not sure what you mean by 'the less actual travel the better.' A two hour plane trip to Miami is shorter than a 12 hour drive to Myrtle Beach. Though dealing with TSA might be more frustrating.
