Need Vacation advise from OSA!

[PUMPKIN]

My wife and i took a week off in july for our vacation. We thought about driving around colorado, pikes peak, durango and so on but gas is high and we have a tahoe. WHERE else in the 48 states could we enjoy for a week and fly in and out??? New york? california? Anyone know of any hot spots?? We have done vegas several times dont think i can go to the hoover dam again. Thanks OSA...

How much you looking to spend?

If you wanted to to Colorado... Fly in and rent a gas saver. Other places I like:

Carmel California (If you stay around Palo Alto, not to far to Monterey/Carmel/San Fran. Besides, only need 3 words, Pebble Beach, Lone Cypress and Spyglass )
Yakima, WA (Tietons, Mt Rainier, awesome nature... AWESOME)
Any of our national parks...

The cost of two round trip tickets plus a rental car would buy a lot of gas. You might run the numbers and stick to your original plan. We had planned a fly-away family vacation this year and decided to drive instead, of course we were looking at round trip tix for a family of five so YMMV.

Stay in this bed and breakfast called Pikes peak resort. Its in woodland park, CO and it is amazing. You can rent cabins that are semi-secluded or you can stay in his mansion like B&B and it is also amazing. I highly recommend it.

Plane tickets are surprisingly cheap in the middle of the summer to the Virgin Islands...

The wife and I always go to Branson Or Vegas . Very different spectrum's in the vacation spots but we always have fun

If you've never been, I would recommend Mt Rushmore & Yellowstone. You can fly in to Jackson, but I would drive.

PS I think gas may be coming back down. I heard on the radio as much as fity-cents a gallon.

Drive or TSA pat-down? Which do you find more stimulating?
North out of Durango thru Silverton is a fantasticly scenic drive.

This would be my choice and in July take a jacket for the nights.
