ACtually thought about LA. Would depend on if Dane and Tiny would be available to show us around.

My top ten (from the perspective of someone born and raised in Philly and living near DC eliminating KC, StL and Denver which are high on my list): Boston in early autumn, Seattle/Portland/Vancouver whenever it's relatively dry, San Diego in January (beach+city+Tijuana), Miami/FL Keys, Albequerque/Santa Fe, Arizona, Yellowstone, Dallas, San Francisco, New York in Spring. For the record, DC is a wonderful pace to visit during the Cherry Blossom Festival in early spring.

Actually my advice would be go some place you don't need to dick around with a rental car.

Yeah, that is why Vegas is top on our list at this point.

You have to take cabs everywhere, which can get very expensive. Just keep that in mind.

We have legs and will just go for the $20 3-day bus pass if need be.

It takes a long time to walk up and down the strip. The bus is okay, but super inconvenient.

My wife and I went on a long weekend trip to Seattle. I'd recommend it. You can take the light rail from the airport to downtown where there is plenty to do. Lunch or Dinner on the Space Needle, EMP museum, Pikes fish market, etc...and everything is within walking distance. They also have a monorail that takes you from downtown to the Space Needle/museum area.

You'd love the EMP museum. They have a really cool Sci-Fi area there.

More expensive was my poker club spending enough in the casino to have the concierge hook us up with an all-day private limo.

If you are into wine you could also consider the CA wine country. I've also wanted to go to Maine in summer or car trip through New England in autumn.

Just got to thinking, might be a good opportunity to go on my first cruise. Just a 3 or 4 nighter.

/NOT WORTH IT

I don't think a 3 or 4 night cruise would be worth blowing 2 RT fares on. JMO.
