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.

What about Miami?

Key West is always fun. :-) And we're having nice weather in FL right now.

I'd vote for Key West, too.

I was thinking that, too. Lots of food, shopping and night life in South Beach.

I thought of Miami too and one of my good friends from college lives down there. I just wasn't sure how much a decent hotel would cost and was thinking Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa might be a little cheaper. Is Key West worth it for a weekend? Is it beach weather still in December or are there other things to do during the day?
That's OK that San Antonio is touristy.. I'm a tourist!

Check the weather for Key West and if it's good, then go...good eating there and besides...just go to relax for a few days...you know...kick your feet up...
...I guess Vegas is out huh?

Austin is a great city with fun nightlife, especially if you like music. San Antonio is a short drive away, so you could go down for the day.
Agree that Riverwalk is a bit touristy, but it is still okay to visit. Just know that the margaritas are cheaper and better off the beaten path.

Don't get me started on Vegas! I'd LOVE to go but would like to go with a group of friends or other couples, not just with the bf. None of my friends seem to have any interest in going for some reason. A bunch of my sisters and I are trying to plan a long weekend away in May and I suggested Vegas and everyone else wanted Miami.
