I have a free ticket on Southwest that I need to use by early March. I am trying to find a place to visit for a long weekend that would offer some great photo opportunities that are close to where Southwest flies to. I would be flying out of Jacksonville, FL. Any suggestions??

I assume Southwest flies from Jacksonville to Las Vegas? I'd consider flying down there, renting a car, and hitting some of the nearby hotspots in Arizona and/or Utah (Grand and Bryce Canyons, Zion, etc.).

I agree with what Raven Falls said - or you can hit up DV. The PNW will not be in bloom yet, but the Oly coast is always a good time to visit!

Fly to Tucson. Rent a car. Go see:

and more.

Looking at SW's typical schedules, flying into Feenix will save you anywhere from 2 to 5 hours of travel time, as well as ~$60 in fares, but does obviously add a little over 2 hours of extra driving. The slower drive east on US-60 to Superior, then south to Tucson on 177 / 77 is rather pretty.

Hey Steve,

Did you ever take your Dad on the last trip you were asking for advice on? As much as we enjoy being a travel agency to help others plan their trips, don't forget that we are a presentation board, so please post some photo's from these trips we are helping you plan.

As for my idea, how about flying into Southern California and come shoot our wonderful local beaches like Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, etc.. and you can always make a side trip to Disneyland!

Jim

I like Greg's idea. Something different than the usual...

And yes, a final photo presentation should be the general rule if asking for travel advice.

Jim - I plan to post some pics as soon as I can get my dad to decide on a place he wants to go. I gave him a few choices but he hasn't made up his mind. Thanks for the other advice.
