If you had about $1500 to spend on a five day vacation, departing from the DC area, what would you do with it? The best, most descriptive and creative answer will win a prize. :)
I would spend some of the money on getting a hotel room.
Then, I would do all of the touristy things that locals never do - in particular, I would spend a lot of money on going to museums (how far is the Smithsonean?).
The rest of the money I would spend on two other things:
1. trying to find the best hole-in-the-wall unusal little "only the locals know about it" restaurant I could and 2. Film. Taking lots and lots of pictures.
except I'm trying to leave the DC area :) I'm trying to maximize money/time spent on airfare/driving, and match it with a fun and funky and/or beautiful and/or pampering locale... I just can't seem to narrow it down.
Last time we had that kind of money to play with, we went to Peru for a week :)
Cruises are good because they are usually all inclusive. No worries about rental cars, food or activites. There are also age restrictive cruises, so you can avoid children for a full five days.
If you haven't done New Orleans, South West is running a airfare special $99 each way from BWI.
oooh - age restrictive. are there any of those that leave from Baltimore? all of the cruises we've seen from Balt are Carnival, 10 day, Caribbean. I guess we could suck it up and drive/fly to another port city.
