Where to go in Nov or Dec that's not too cold?
I have a free roundtrip ticket I need to use before 2009 to anywhere in the continental U.S. Cities I've been to already: Boston, NY, Detroit, LA, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Miami, New Orleans, Washington D.C.
I'd like to go somewhere totally new and different that isn't freezing cold in Nov or Dec and that lots of people really like. Please go crazy and throw out suggestions for your favorite places.

I like all the ideas mentioned so far. How long do you intend to stay and where do you live? I'd go to some place that would be more expensive for you if you were paying your own way and someplace that has enough to do for the length you intend staying.
I'll also mention wunderground.com (and probably other weather websites) has a trip planner feature where you can get historic average high and low temps. for any given 2 week period to check weather for any location that interests you.

Agree with mclaurie - when I have airline voucher or even FF points, I look at where I might want to go that has the most expensive airfare. So depends on from where you are starting - and often the longest distance is not the most expensive air.

I wouldn't count on Williamsburg not being cold - they can get a lot of snow in winter. I think you need to stick to Fl or S Cal or similar to be sure of not getting cold temps.
Also - in many places early Nov temps will be much warmer than late Dec ones.

Being a San Diego Native...I'm partial to SD. So, that being said my vote would be for San Diego or Los Angeles. SD- much slower pace, beaches, great downtown, parks, outdoors stuff. LA- Hollywood, Bev. Hills, much quicker pace, beaches (in some spots)

Agree with the thought of using the ticket to a more remote destination that the airline flies to (assuming seats are available) that would normally cost more than flying direct to a major city.
Also does depend on how long you will stay and what you want to do there.
So, if you haven't been to the desert Southwest and like the outdoors, there is Phoenix/Sedona/Grand Canyon. Also, Santa Fe for a long weekend with history, scenery and more laid back atmosphere.
I second the Charleston suggestion if you like architecture and history.
Of course, there are the Florida Gulf beaches from Naples up through St Petersburg for sand and sun.
Maybe Monterey, Big Sur, Hearst Castle if you want the western coast.
