If you were between jobs and wanted to go on a 7-10 day vacation by yourself with a $1000 budget, where would you go?

Beach somewhere. Place where I could unwind and relax for a week or so.

If I could go to Puerto Rico for under a grand that is where I would go.

Does that have to include airfare? If so, than Ixtapa, Mecico if my plane ticket was covered I would go to Istanbul. And dude you can definitely go to Puerto Rico for under a grand.

Snot rockets.

Portland - Seattle - Vancouver. Never been to the Pacific NW.

I just did Istanbul for a bit over $1200 (airfare incl.). Also, Damascus is fun...

Otherwise, um... Philly?

The Raven.

Costa Rica. Hello surf camp!

Alternatively, Barcelona.

Or London.

Love the Portland/Seattle/Vancouver idea.

I don't think these exotic locales are very doable for 1k, so I'm going to be a loser and do Chicago, my most common vacation spot, but I'd do it right by making it rain all over the city--including buying the best tickets in Wriglely

When I think beach for under $1000, I think Mexico, all inclusive resort. The ancient Mayans believed that frozen, blended drinks were an essential part of relaxation and celebration.

British Columbia! Those ads on the Olympics worked like a charm. If airfare to there was too expensive, I'd find a cheap ticket to Denver and go skiing.

i backpacked through europe for 6 weeks on about $2500. you could totally do a week to 10 days on $1000.

Leslie said...

I retract my answer. I would go visit Josh and Evan in London.

Andrew said...

Either visit my friend Ellen in London, my friend Amy in Paris or my friend Rita in San Diego.

Andrew said...

Oh and GO MIDGE!

hmm state college. specifically, the cafe.

or a big city where i could just sightsee solo, like vancouver or montreal.

pinchie said...

I'd fly to San Diego then drive north up the coast of Cali all the way to Portland, Ore. But to keep it under 1,000, would probably have to camp.

Or yeah, an all-inclusive in Mexico costs about $600 right now (including food and airfare).

Also really want to hit up Austin, Tx.

John said...

Holy hell, I didn't realize I could travel that far for that cheap.

Cate said...

omg, i'd go to austin
