Dear FList, a dilemma

posted by [personal profile] puszysty at 07:12pm on 16/02/2010
A large wrench has essentially been thrown in my New Zealand plans. It seems that when assessing my finances, I'd forgotten that I have 2 weddings I need to be at this spring/summer.

So Flist, where can I go that is relatively cheap? I'd really like to use it on *something*, and I'll still have over a week left even after I visit the colleges I'm looking at.

By relatively cheap, I mean:
Someplace I can fly to for $400 or less. Or drive.
Someplace that has a lot of fun things to do without breaking the bank (so like, no Vegas, Disneyworld, etc)

Any places you'd recommend? Fun vacations you've taken in the past?

I actually have relatives in both places. Though I believe my relative in NM recently had a stroke.

Maine. My mom has a kick ass bed and breakfast at an old farmhouse and there's hiking, coastal stuff, etc nearby. :D

San Antonio is an hour away from me. It's hardly a vacation. Lol

However, I have never been to the Grand Canyon

I've been there once. I found it funny that they served root beer. It was good root beer though

Given that you are in Texas, try Guatajuato in Mexico. It's beautiful and inexpensive.

If I haven't started law school by then, it's a possibility.
