Because of work commitments and conflicting interests I am always on the lookout for "quickie" destinations that would be doable on a 3 or possibly 4 day weekend. For e.g. doable on a Thanksgiving or Christmass or Martin Luther King etc weekend possibly with an extra day off.
Requirements:
1.Spectacular or interesting. My main interest is B&W but destinations more suitable for color are also welcome.
2. Close to a major airport with easy availability of car rental. Ideally within a 1 hour, max 2 hours, drive.
3. Once there little further travel is needed. This way the weekend is not too hectic and I don't need a vacation to recover from my quickie vacation.
4. I live in New England and therefore may be partial to locations more easily reachable to me. One offering a warm retreat from the New England winter is welcome but not essential.
One example I can think of is Yosemite although Fresno's airport is less than ideal for someone traveling from the east coast. Once in the Valley however little further travel is needed. Another possiblity which I have never been to is Death Valley.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Hany.
