what's a good place to go to alone for 2-3 days in the spring? i was looking at going to a sharks game in maybe Vancouver (might be more than i want to spend) or Nashville. open to other non-hockey suggestions
You'd probably want to do 3-4 to justify traveling all the way to vancouver. Vancouver's cheap b/c canada. All the prices seem reasonable by american standards and you charge everything and you get your bill and it all ends up having been 30% off.
If it's expensive to fly there, get a cheap direct flight on alaska air from kc to seattle and take a $50 train up or an alaska air flight via avios for 7500 each way.
Alaska credit card would take care of your flights, any hotel card would take care of your rooms, pretty easy to make that a free trip by next spring.
