Where to use Air Tran tickets before 8/31 in US??

Have a pair of tickets (bought at charity auction) that HAVE to be used before end of this month. Starting from Connecticut, my husband loves to golf and I like looking at the water etc where should we go and why? A nice resort with American plan, spa. Our original plan had been to see Colorado but with little time left and a need to R&R where can we go for a week or so and find something great and reasonable? H

I would start by checking the AirTran website and studying their route map.

The suggestion to look at the AirTran site and see WHERE they go that looks intriguing to you is a good one - narrow it down, and maybe you will get more insight.

There are a LOT of Florida options on AirTran, which would easily give you the golf and water, but I think Florida is oppressive in August...maybe too hot for golf?

From what I know of where AirTran goes - how about Vegas? Golf courses & nice resorts to lounge by the pool at. Or maybe Biloxi?

You could still go to Colorado...fly to Denver, rent a car, head out to one of the ski resorts that maybe has a golf course associated...Vail claims 13 associated golf courses...http://vail.snow.com Definitely luxury lodging available, likely at off-season rates. Don't know about the water, though.

Hope that gives you some ideas to think about...

We definitely will steer clear of Florida for August but Colorado is avery good possibility. Perhaps a nice lake setting withgolf nearby?

It has been 90* in Denver. But it's a dry heat!! Of course, it has been 90* everywhere.
You might think about the SC coast. Fly to Myrtle Beach and leave immediately for Pawley's Island/Litchfield. Look up Litchfield Beach and Golf Resort. The beach is beautiful, the golf is awesome, the shopping excellent, and the seafood absolutely the best.

Okay guys I think I got it. If we fly to Denver and stay on Lake Dillon (with a view for me). There are said to be several golf courses in that area for the husband. He says he wants to relax this time but if we are there a week I am sure he will itch for a day trip or two. Any rec's in this regard? H

Hi Reeder, you might consider starting a new thread--something along the lines of day trips from Lake Dillon, CO.
