Based out of PHL, can easily drive to ABE/NYC/WAS or other northeast/midatlantic departure points, or position flights if necessary. Ideally looking for options on weekends, or the week of Dec 26-31. Less ideal would be something between Dec 19-22. Int'l ok as long as no visa requirements.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Try round trip to HNL. Its 10K, one long miserable trip and you could be done. I did it from BDL twice this year (work not milage runs) it is no more horrible than any other option.
