Interesting place(s) to visit?
I have $95 worth of TravelBank credit to burn before 7/25, and I'm not quite sure where to go. Does anyone here have any suggestions as to where on the JetBlue network for places to go, things to see, etc? My hobbies include photography, planespotting, railfanning (train spotting), geocaching, visiting historical landmarks, as well as trying local delicacies.
I am based out of BOS, and do not have a driver's license (so I will not be able to rent a car, and will have to rely on public transportation and/or taxi service)
I'm planning on staying for at least one night.

Ah, budget... not quite sure on that. I'm not really looking to go international. I've been to LAX, IAD, DCA, JFK, EWR, PHL, JAX, and LAS. I wouldn't mind revisiting if there's something new to do. I'd imagine with it being summer that the touristy locations would be crowded.

I's second the nominations for ORD and SFO. Chicago is great for railfanning and, well, it's Chicago 
SFO also has a LOT to offer (I lived there in the late 1960s and it's been too long since I've been back). Neither of those cities will require a car as there is rail service to each airport.

While the summer fares would likely be high, and it's best done with at least a few days in town, PDX is another great destination. Good transit (easy MAX access from the airport to city), great food (and beer if that's of interest), and the Oregon Rail Heritage Center is a good visit for the railfan.
And I forgot about Chicago as well - agree with all the above (been a while since I've been there).
