cheap vacation ideas

[sbpebbles]

ok so here's the story: was suppose to go to FL with my mother and daughter back in November but did not and now I have $89.70 in travel credits from Southwest..originally a friend wanted to go to FL with me in February but she is not working so there's no way I can come up with that extra cash..so now said friend and I are looking to a cheap vacation place..yes, it looks like I'll be paying her way(must be nice huh, but I don't want to go alone so..)..i wanna go some place nice with things to do..i like exploring new cities but my friend however can not deal with HUGE HUGE crowds(anxiety issues)...I'd like to stay as far below $1000 as I can lol..I can go anytime before the end of June since that's when my credits expire..I was thinking sometime in May..anyone have any ideas? I don't want to be out those credits but it seems a $89.70 airfare credit is gonna cost me a lot more lol..thanks everyone!
