I have been tasked with the grueling chore of designing a weekend getaway from Dallas using Membership Rewards points.
I know! I know!
It is pure torture!
I live 20 minutes from DFW airport and would like to come up with something fun, fabulous and a bit off the beaten path.

American Express is also placing 150,000 Membership Rewards points in my newly opened rewards account to plan this trip. Thanks American Express!
Fly to Rome (or Pisa for that matter), train to the Cinque Terre, hike the 5 towns (they are easy hikes). The best part is that you can stop for a real lunch AND gelatos in each town! (yes, for me it is all about the food!)
Go check out Yellowstone and go by plane! It is beautiful!
Fly to San Francisco and take the Alcatraz tour. You can get some haunted vibes, take a lot of memorable pictures, and see the amazing sights of the Golden Gate city. It’s a photographer’s haven, and I guarantee you won’t be bored!

I’m going to send you on my photography dream trip:
You should travel by car through New Mexico and Colorado taking pictures of the beautiful sites. I love movies filmed in the midwest and one movie that always inspires my photography dreams is Boys on the Side. What I remember most about that movie, besides how cute Drew Barrymore was, is the scenery and I’ve always wanted to take pictures in that area.
So grab your car keys, your camera ,and an energy drink (you’ll need to stay hydrated) and have fun!
You should go to Philadelphia by plane.
The Philadelphia zoo is the oldest zoo in the US the kids would love it! After that the Please Touch Museum again awesome for the kids and then head into downtown to the constitution center and the Liberty Bell. Tons fun things to do while learning history. Then when you are tired of the history you can head down the road to the Jersey shore for fun in the sun or over to Hershey Park the sweetest place on earth for candy and amusements while mom hits the chocolate spa for relaxation. It would be a great family vacation
I’d go by car (I love driving and seeing new country), and head to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon!
Go to the Grapevine Sea Life Aquarium http://www.visitsealife.com/Grapevine/ and take the Shark Walk!
When I go to new cities I always love to visit the zoo! So I vote for some time getting to see it. http://www.dallaszoo.com/
