If you could go on a weekend getaway from your home (be it Chicago or elsewhere), where would you go, and why?

Is this just places in the U.S. we're talking about here?
Well, weekend getaway. Chances are if you live in Chicago you're not flying to London on Friday night and coming back Sunday.

Anywhere where there is no tupperware, snow or work. Even Carefree, AZ.

It's been a while, but we used to go there all the time. We own a lot in the territory and a keep boat in the marina. Great fishing!
We've caught some HUGE muskie in there.

Considering the time constraints to travel for merely a weekend, and doing it this time of the year...
Florida

During baseball season, Chicago. I try to do this once a year...mostly to catch a Cubs game of course but also a day of doing something touristy in Chicago just hasn't gotten old yet.

During winter, Vegas. I've actually never been there but it seems like a day or 2 is all you really need to have a fun time.

Plus a day or two to recover.

Skiing, out west, I prefer New Mexico, more laid back, less crowded.

I live in LA, so San Diego is always a nice weekend getaway. It's a 2 hour drive, and a nice place to just chill for the weekend. It's so much cleaner and relaxing than LA. Another option is Vegas, which is a 3.5 hour drive or a 1 hour flight.
