We also went to San Antonio a few years ago (DH is a MEGA Spurs fan) and I really enjoyed it there too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-822054 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 06:08:28 +0000 Girl X 822054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New York City, February 8th - 10th!!!!<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dates-for-2013-nyc-meetup-28---2102013---please-mark-your-calendars" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-calendars</a></p> <p>ETA: Just read the other comments, ah well - NYC is way too cold for a February visit anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-822021 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 04:56:04 +0000 Jenava 822021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Austin sounds fab!

It's a *magical* place. There are concerts, and then there are concerts in amazing places - One World theatre is one of those amazing places, imo. File away for future reference in case you decide to spend a few days in Austin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821907 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 03:01:01 +0000 deb 821907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One year I spent a long weekend in Portland, Oregon. I stayed at a wonderful hotel on the Willamette river with rocking chairs on the porch. It is a cute city to visit when you have only a short time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821722 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:51:39 +0000 Diana 821722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, bummer. Well, NYC is fun at any time! (although I prefer not in high summer). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821668 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 22:06:29 +0000 annagybe 821668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Diana, I won't have enough vacation accumulated by then. I had to use some of my vacation days when my Dad was in the hospital. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821624 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:11:26 +0000 Diana 821624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NYC for fashion week! There is a meetup happening... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821609 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:02:10 +0000 velvetychocolate 821609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And here I was getting all excited about the Newport Beach jazz festival...lol!</p> <p>Austin is a neat place! You'd get to visit and catch up with family, while still enjoying a vacation on your own in a fun city. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821608 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:57:42 +0000 annagybe 821608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I might just go to Austin. My uncle lives there and I haven't seen him and his wife in ages. Bonus, don't have to pay for a hotel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821602 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:47:28 +0000 velvetychocolate 821602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure what you like to do, but a few years ago, on a whim - I bought tickets to a concert in Austin,TX at the OneWorld theatre (we were living in Boulder CO area at the time). I'd never been to Austin, and we went for just three days...having nothing planned other than the concert. </p> <p>Really enjoyed it - wandered around funky streets (South Congress I think it was), visited the presidential library/museum, and so on. We didn't go *during* the SXSW festival - I think we were there the weekend before it started, but it was a fun time because there was a lot of musical energy gearing up for the upcoming festival. I remember driving around this beautiful lake area as well, looking at the hills. Got to see the Whole Foods headquarters (just for fun, since we didn't have any major plans). Walked all through the state capitol and just wandered around all over the place at our leisure. I would definitely go back there if I had the opportunity. </p> <p>It was March when we went - and pants/sweater and trenchcoat was just fine for that time of year. It wasn't cold, but it wasn't "summery" either, if you know what I mean. I would say that March, April or May would be good months to visit Austin. </p> <p>Alternatively - what about Boston (area)? Thoroughly enjoyed a trip there too (although it was a business trip for my husband). Ended up staying at an unexciting chain hotel, in a quaint suburb (Marlborough), near his work ...but we drove all the way to Marconi Beach on the weekend...just *fabulous*. I loved that drive up the Cape and the amazing beach. Found little lobster roll sandwich stands along the way, as if they were hot dog carts or something Marconi beach is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Just incredible, and well worth the beautiful drive up the Cape. September is a beautiful month for this idea (imo). This is probably a little far (flight-wise) for just a long weekend though. </p> <p>These two suggestions aren't anything like Vegas though! I'm just suggesting places that maybe most people wouldn't think of at first for a nice getaway. Lots of people think of Vegas, Hawaii, San Fran, NY etc. but not so much Austin or even Cape Cod.</p> <p>eta: I have another one....Newport Beach! Nice in September. Do you like jazz at all? How about the jazz festival at Newport Beach?? (ack, now I've gone and given myself a bit of a travel bug...) </p> <p><a href="http://www.travelcostamesa.com/play/costa-mesa-arts-and-recreation/newport-beach-jazz-festival/" rel="nofollow">http://www.travelcostamesa.com.....-festival/</a></p> <p>I'd recommend staying at the Hyatt Newport Beach if you were going to the jazz festival. It's an older hotel, but still wonderful.</p> <p><a href="http://newportbeach.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-newportbeach/index.jsp?null" rel="nofollow">http://newportbeach.hyatt.com/.....x.jsp?null</a></p> <p>PS - the Hyatt Newport beach hotel is in close proximity to Fashion Island shopping center too...</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopfashionisland.com/Search.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopfashionisland.com/Search.aspx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/solo-vacation#post-821506 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:29:32 +0000 annagybe 821506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Due to the Vegas debacle with Alaska airlines last October I have a $400 flight credit with them.<br /> I think I need a solo vacation somewhere. I must use it by the end of September. I was thinking a long weekend somewhere.<br /> Any suggestions? </p>
