If you were to take a 3 day mini-vacation .... - Toyota Yaris Forums

J_Lynn · 03-06-2012, 09:55 AM

somewhere in the states, where would you go? And why?

eTiMaGo · 03-06-2012, 10:26 AM

LA cuz that's where all the cool people are?

J_Lynn · 03-06-2012, 10:53 AM

lol .... have you been to LA? haha

47_MasoN_47 · 03-06-2012, 10:55 AM

Vegas.

Why?

Here's a few of our three day weekend getaways that we've done:

1. Key West, FL - Fun place with perfect weather to get away from the New England Winter.

2. Memphis, TN in January - My wife's birthday is the same day as Elvis Presley, so this year for her 45th birthday I surprised her with a trip to Memphis to visit Graceland on their Birthday weekend.

3. San Francisco, CA - Tricky for a 3 day weekend from the East Coast, but we packed in seeing the sites of the city, a tour of Alcatraz, a hike through Muir Woods, and a run up to Sonoma wine country.

4. Los Angeles, CA - Plenty to see, do, and eat for a long weekend getaway.

5. Orlando, FL - We've done a few separate ones there either hitting Disney or Universal for a couple of days. With the new Harry Potter park, Universal is definitely worth a couple day trip.

6. Sedona, AZ - Another nice escape from the cold to a picturesque and quirky place.

7. Newport, RI - Typically visited by tourists in the Summer, but a more peaceful place for a long weekend when the tourists are headed to warmer venues.

I so badly want to go to Orlando, and Arizona has been on my "to do" list as well! Your whole list was great! :)

marcus · 03-06-2012, 01:23 PM

i say NEW YORK... might as well watch knicks game as well..lol

Kioshi · 03-06-2012, 01:33 PM

3 day vacation? Hmm....

Seattle, Washington because i heard there are scenic routes to take and things to see/eat.
Clam chowder i heard is good there - from Kaotic.

Denver, Colorado because the view is nice and it would be def be cool to go snowboarding there for a change.
People are friendly.

I want to see nice country roads for a change. Of course I'd be renting a car and not taking my car there with all the dead bugs :P

Where ever my new female Yaris owner would like to go.

SilverBack · 03-07-2012, 06:43 AM

Hawaii. Why not?

DevilGirl · 03-07-2012, 06:46 AM

Stay at home. Why? So I can actually just relax for once without fretting about getting something done or worrying about time constraints.

ilikerice · 03-07-2012, 08:37 AM

I work 4 days a week 10 hour shifts... i get 3 day weekends all the time.. unless I work Overtime on friday.. Yet I stay home and relax every week. I feel 3 days isn't enough to really enjoy a vacation. I need a week.. lol

Still Learning · 03-07-2012, 08:56 AM

I would go to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. It's very quiet and scenic there.

I would kill for 3 days to relax - hell, an hour every night would tickle me plum to death.

CPALK719 · 03-07-2012, 07:15 PM

speaking on 3 dayer vacations... im taking one myself to Daytona beach, florida this weeken for Bike week. i cant wait !!!!

fnkngrv · 03-07-2012, 09:54 PM

yup...3 days isn't enough...but I guess if it was only 3 days since I live in the north corner of the country and I would lose 2 of the three days to flying I might as well instead say that I would visit Prince Edward Island. I could drive there and at least enjoy most of the 3 days.

J_Lynn · 03-07-2012, 11:49 PM

It's mainly just hard to go anywhere for a long amount of time because of Radley, it's hard to take an animal on vacations and because of his disability - there is no way I will leave him alone with anyone; I just can't trust it. If something was to happen to him, well, I'd hate to know what I'd do to the person who didn't care of him properly. So my "time away" is pretty much none. 3 days would be pushing it, but I could find someone to watch him for one or two full days. I wouldn't push it beyond that. Unless I could get my sister to watch him.

I need to escape for a few days so I am looking for ideas. lol
