500 smackers for vacation

[oceanlux]

Long story short, I've got about five hundred dollars that I can spend on a vacation. Thinking four or five days would be nice

Bud: here is a package for $358. on Hotwire to Columbus for four days/five nights the second week of April. It includes three nights/four days at the Holiday Inn in the downtown area as well as roundtrip airfare, including all taxes. That would give you some bucks for expenses, although not a ton (free airport shuttles and walking to most sites downtown would help, cabs would be cheap.) Just an idea, I always prefer flying to driving! Happy shopping. Bob PS St. Louis packages are even cheaper

Have you been to Columbus?

You know, I haven't, although I have heard good things. I guess I sent this along as an example, it was the least expensive package I could find on Hotwire. You might be able to find another one with more definite dates of when you'd like to go, and as I said, St. Louis was definitely cheaper (I think that you you could do a rental car on your budget whereas this one did not include a rental car.)

Thanks. Much appreciated....!

Bud: I just got a notice from sidestep.com that Jet Blue has $59. fares from Chicago to Minneapolis, and I've always found they are just as good of a site as Hotwire for finding good fares. How is your back doing? Hope you're feeling better.
