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!
I think you should head on over to DFW, hop a plane to Napa Valley, and then enjoy the beautiful wineries. I’ve never done it but I’ve always wanted to!

thanks 🙂
This may sound a bit crazy, but I would just get in a car and drive. Just drive until you find some place new and exciting and have that be your weekend getaway! I have always wanted to do that- just start driving and see where I end up. All about the mystery!

You should go to Hershey PA! Because that’s where I want to go!! Take a plane… it’s a long drive from Texas. And hit up the chocolate while you’re there!

For a quick weekend getaway I think you should fly to Savannah for tours of the homes and learn about the history and ghost stories. I have always wanted to do that!
I would suggest traveling by plane to visit Indianapolis, Indiana.
There are plenty of interesting and enjoyable places to visit in the area, such as the Fountain Square (for duck pin bowling and swing dancing), Monument Circle, and the Indianapolis Canal. If you enjoy the theater and music, plan to visit the Indiana Repertory Theater, Murat Theater, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and the Beef and Boards Dinner Theater. Those who enjoy art and history will appreciate the Indianapolis Art Museum, Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, and Indiana World War Memorial Plaza. Sports fans should visit NCAA Hall of Champions and Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the Speedway Hall of Fame Museum, as well as Victory Field, Lucas Oil Stadium, and Conseco Fieldhouse. Children will enjoy the Conner Prairie, Indianapolis Zoo, and Indianapolis Children’s Museum. For meals, visit Broad Ripple or Mass Ave for a wide variety unique restaurants, including Bazbeaux Pizza. If you want to travel outside Indianapolis, then take a day trip to Brown County, particularly Nashville, Indiana…or drive north to the Indiana Dunes. Of course, my suggestions include too many for one trip…but there’s plenty of options for a delightful vacation!
I would suggest you take a quick trip to Jackson, MS for some good music and good food. I tweeted the giveaway.
If I was Holly I would take a nice 9 hour flight over to Greece, from there Holly can enjoy a train ride from the famous city of Athens, to the shore town or Bari. Once in Bari holy can hop on a giant boat where she can travel to the island of Corfu. Corfu is an amazing island with its northern city views of Albania. The reason you should go here is because it is one of the most beautiful and friendly places I have been. The locals are extremely friendly and the sun is always shining bright.
My dream weekend would be a luxury Hawaiian or Bahama island cruise. Fly to the port of entry.
