Where to go for winter weekend? Dallas, Houston, New Orleans?
Some friend are deciding on where to meet for a mid-winter weekend. People will be coming from different part of the U.S.
Requirements are:
1. not Las Vegas, San Francisco, or Los Angeles
2. reasonably well served airport. This would exclude places like Mount Rushmore/Sioux City, SD.
Candidate cities include:
1. New Orleans (drawback include unable to identify things to do besides the French Quarter)
2. Houston (I like it but it may be too generic a city)
3. Dallas
4. Chicago (drawback is that it can be very cold in January and February)
5. Orlando (drawback is that it is Eastern time. Central and Mountain time is easier for many due to flight schedules)
I think it boils down to New Orleans, Houston, and Dallas. What is there to do in Dallas? What is there to do in New Orleans besides the French Quarter.
