When I travel for business and to visit family/friends and vacation, we typically end up in the larger cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, New York, and I've been to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, Orlando, Tampa and many of the other site suggestions too-I feel like they're more common spots to visit. But somewhere like Austin, Nashville, San Diego, the cities mentioned in CO, etc. would be more of an "adventure" yet would keep cost down because they're still large enough cities, but without the cost of the big cities and doing/seeing the same ol' stuff.
I am excited about it being on one of the coasts, but I would like it to be in a city where everything isn't really expensive and where everyone feels safe. |
I agree with this. I would even be ok with an event actually being in a suburb of a city - sometimes the farther you stay out the better rate you can get on a hotel, etc. Or choose a town that is just a bit smaller, rather than Tampa, choose Clearwater or Sarasota where it is easy to get around.
What are some cities that are fairly close to an airport that are reasonable in Calif? or Georgia or somewhere east?
I love lobster and would love to go to Maine too
OR I like the idea of piggy backing on the Yorkie Fair in Michigan
