Where are some fun and affordable vacation spots in the US?
We are in our 30′s.
Personally I love museums & sightseeing. My husband loves the outdoors but please no camping (not for me!). We are pretty big partiers and like places with a fun outdoor atmosphere where we can relax and drink.
We just got back from Vegas so please dont suggest that. And we’ve been on a cruise as well. So any suggestions other than a cruise and Vegas would be great!!
Remember please keep AFFORDABLE IN MIND! Any suggestions?

Good vacation spots for the outdoorsman?
I will have 500 bucks, and two weeks of vacation time this spring. Just planning ahead to where I could go.
I would prefer primitive camping, but I wouldn’t mind staying in a lodge since I have some money saved up.
Also, it’s for a college kid going solo… so nothing extreme.
Thanks in advance

Where are some good vacation spots for a young couple near Los Angeles?
My boyfriend and I want to have a mini vacation before we start school again. We will be taking our car and would like to keep the driving under 10 hours.
Any suggestions for fun/romantic places to check out? We were thinking of camping at national park, check out a nice beach to go snorkeling, or visit some caves.
Thanks in advance!
We want to get away from LA, at least a few hours worth away!
What are some good vacation spots in California, Nevada, or Arizona?
I live near Los Angeles and don’t want to travel that far. Are there any good vacation spots near Southern California, Nevada, or Arizona? I want to go sometime in August, so no places that need a reservation far in advance, like camping. I want to stay in a hotel and have it be family-friendly. Also, it has to be kinda cheap because we don’t have a lot of money to spend Any suggestions?

Top African Honeymoon Spots
There are a number of intimate and romantic honeymoon destinations on the exotic African continent, including the balmy islands off Mozambique, teeming wildlife reserves in Kenya, Tanzania and Botswana, as well as the jewel in the African crown, the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa.
Premier wildlife destinations
If the seduction of a traditional African safari honeymoon has hit the mark, there are a range of excellent destinations throughout southern and East Africa. Premier wildlife destinations include Tanzania, Kenya and Botswana, all of which have a number of private and national game parks literally swarming with exotic wild animals.
It is unlikely that newlyweds will opt for scheduled tours, but all reputable African tour operators are equipped to offer specially tailored packages for those couples requiring a little more privacy. So it’s a case of simply choosing your destination and then letting the experts handle the finer details on your behalf.
‘Big 5’ the main attraction
The ’Big 5’ are the main attractions of the world famous Masai Mara and Serengeti Game Reserves as well as the Ngorongoro Crater, tipped as one of Africa’s foremost wildlife viewing areas and a haven for literally thousands of pink flamingos. Both Tanzania and Kenya are regarded as safe safari locations and offer accommodation in luxury lodges.
‘The land of Giants’
While considerably more arid than its northern neighbours, Botswana is a wonderful location to experience the consummate African safari. Dubbed the ‘land of giants’ because the last vast remaining herds of African elephant still traverse the land with impunity and the gigantic upside-down tree, better known as the Baobab, literally dwarfs all other pretenders to the throne, Botswana has a range of interesting activities to take part in aside from the normal safari experience.
