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

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.

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.

I would love to go to Seattle, as that is one of the few places I have never visited!

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!
