Where would you go? 4 days off

I need some help. We are both pilots so we can jump on most flights that aren't oversold!! We tried Mexico but no go and are fishing around for another place to go tomorrow(Friday) through Monday.

We just went to Disneyworld, Seattle, and NYC.

Love to hear about your favorite winter getaways!

Key West!

(Most of the Caribbean takes too long to get to and you said Mexico was out so that is the only warm and sunny I can think of.)

Key West! Also Bermuda, Miami (if you like to go out on the town), New Orleans or the Caribbean.

Thanks for the great suggestions - Key West, New Orleans...

Honolulu is too far

Palm springs? Huh - never been.

San Juan is a good one too

Everything sounds better than Cleveland right now! Not complaining about the mild winter but I need to get out of town!!

Just got back from a week in San Francisco...spent time in the city and also toured wineries in Sonoma. Loved it - great beer, wine, and food...what more do you need?

Pilot, I just recieved a call from a friend today, she said Palm Springs International Film Festival is this weekend. If you're not interested, there are always good places for golf, and spa in Palm Springs. On your way to Palm Springs they have an excellent outlet mall.

Also, you can catch the Aerial tram in Palm Springs where it takes you to the San Jacinto mountains. You can either do the 11 mile hike up the top, or just take a nature tour. I believe they also transport cross-country skiers (I know of all places in Palm Springs!) but the elevation is about 11-12,000. When I took the hike last April, there were still patches of snow along the trails. If anything else, the ride on the tram and the view is beautiful. It reminded me of the Swiss Alps (at least the tram did).
