Straight into Chicago, from Seattle to Midway. Not very exciting, but visiting friends and family is never easy. :)

VEGAS, BABY!
Providence, RI to Las Vegas, NV
For me, nothing is more relaxing than a weekend blowing your hard earned money!

I'd fly to San Diego, then rent a car and go to Tijuana. I mean, how did I get to be 33 without ever having gotten drunk on bad tequila in Tijuana? Also, I'd use the money I saved on airfare and buy custom leather sexkitten boots.

Vegas (from BWI)! Believe it or not, my wife has never been and I've never flown with SouthWest yet, so it'd be new experiences all around.
Thx SouthWest and Gadling!

I'd fly to NYC... the job search never ends and I want to take time to look around in a city that I really want to live in.

My daughter Emma sure would like to visit her grandparents in Florida -- and flying SWA from BWI to MCO would be a great way to celebrate 5/5/08!

San Francisco - I definately need a break from stress and would love to go to the west coast and just relax. Maybe take a drive down the coast and not worry about work, or how messy my house is or what I'm going to cook for dinner.
Sink-o de Stress for Cinco de Mayo.
