Last Minute Vacation

[WVU alpha phi]

My boyfriend found out yesterday that it's looking like he will get 2 free plane tickets from one of his corporate accounts. They have to be used in 2008 so with the holidays, next weekend is probably the time we'd travel. He finds out for sure tomorrow if he gets them, so last night we brainstormed on where we'd want to go. We also have to stay in the US, and will most likely be traveling Thursday night-Sunday.

I'd like our flight to be no more than 3 hours (from Charlotte, NC), and we both want to go somewhere warm. So far we like Texas best, and possibly Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa. We're really just looking for a city with fun nightlife and something cool to do during the day.

Anyone in Texas have a recommendation on which city to go to? My friend suggested San Antonio because of the River Walk. As far as Ft. Lauderdale or Tampa go, we don't know anything about these places so any info is appreciated.
