OMG - My Friend Just Gave Me 2 Airline Tickets

[elizabethann]

My friend won 2 Southwest airline tickets at an SPCA event last year. She never used them and just offered them to me! I have to use them by October 15th. I have the last week of September off so I'm thinking of using them then. I just emailed my sister and asked her if she could babysit Fenway that week. I hope she says yes.

I'm so excited. I don't know where I'm going to go. I was thinking either Disney or Las Vegas. I've always wanted to go to the Grand Canyon so maybe this is a great opportunity.

I'm just so excited. Nothing like this ever happens to me!

Anybody have any suggestions as to where I should visit?

OMG- Congrats !

As for where to go, it depends what you want to do. I like Lake George/Lake Placid. I'm obsessed with water, though. There are a lot of water parks and beaches Especially this one place called "The Great Escape " it's soo fun !

If you're heading in the florida direction. Do you have kids? What ages? Because Disney has mostly attraction for younger children ( I'd say probably about -10, bepends how mature they are... ). Universal Studios has attractions for adults and older children ( 11+ ). I prefered Universal. Disney might have been larger, though, I can't remember....

I would say Las Vegas. I've been to the Grand Canyon a few times, and it wasn't that exciting...

I've also been to Disney World, when I was in second grade, and it wasn't fun either. I was TOO little to do anything, and you probably wouldn't have any fun, since you aren't a little kid (unless you have kids).

I've been to Las Vegas twice. I was actually just there about 3 weeks ago. I love it there. There is always something going on. I would suggest going there to ANYONE because there is a lot to do and see.

Have you decided where you are going?

Wow, that is so cool! What a great friend! If you really like gambling and shows, then Las Vegas is a good spot, especially if you have a lot of money to throw around. Basically, if you've got the money there is a way to spend it there.

I was in Las Vegas for someone's wedding (they lived there, and had a very un-Vegas type wedding) and I found the casinos to be bit tiring after a while. I don't care about gambling that much and I didn't have a ton of money, so I couldn't spend $100+ to see something like Cirque de Soleil. That's just me though. I've been to the Grand Canyon, too, and I think it is just amazing! It's about 300 miles from Vegas so if you did decide to go there you could see both maybe.

My favorite city in the US is San Francisco! It's near redwoods and Yosemite, the ocean, and it's a nice city with a ton of things to do. Sorry to write a book here, good luck on deciding where to go. I'm sure you'll have fun no matter where you go!

Of the ones you mentioned, I would say DISNEY!!!!!! You could do Universal, too, of course, as they aren't far apart, as well as SeaWorld. I don't think you can ever get too old for Disney. I'm 43 and I still love the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, MGM and the Animal Kingdom.
