2 day "fuck off" pass this week

[immamac 42852]

I'm entering my last full week of being funemployed, but since the wife is still employed, all my friends are still employed and I have an 18 month old I haven't really enjoyed my freedom from responsibility. 

I told my wife about this and she told me I could go somewhere for 2 days and just leave the kid with her.

Can be 3 days and 2 nights if lots of travel. Don't want to drive somewhere, unless the destination is about driving cool roads. Can fly from ABIA, SAT, or the houston airports. No real cost concerns - but doesn't need to be expensive for the sake of expensive. 

What would you do? Where would you go? Where should I go.

[Ten Bears 2481]

What would I do? Two chicks at the same time, man.

[TexasHooch 5122]

If I have a 3 day vacation, I'm not going to want to spend too much time in transit, particularly between locations. I'd probably just go with one primary spot and day trip from there. I'd also not want to play around too much with drastically different time-zones.

So with that in mind... Reykjavik.

Or go back to the place y’all stayed in Mexico when she made you leave early to go to the icepocalypse. Get those two days back!

No where did I read that he wanted to get shot.

I'd hop a nonstop to NYC, or Chicago if you want to save a whopping 1 hour of flying time.

[bluto 4929]

Gotta factor in covid closings and immediate weather forecasts.

Yeah, not sure if NYC and Chicago are open enough to make it worthwhile. That’s why I vote for New Orleans/

In Key West.  Enjoy the hall pass.

[immamac 42852]

NOLA, Vegas and Key West are leaders in the clubhouse right now. 

I looked at going to nurbrugring, but I think the flight there and back kinda ruins any value of doing a full track day in a rental. 

I love the iceland recommendation, but feel like that would be a much cooler family trip. 

Also, I'm fully vaxxed + 6 weeks so I don't give a fuck about covid, but want to go somewhere that isn't closed or a pain in the ass to get in and out of. 

[Mo Horn 8843]

How about Cabo?  Good food, scenery, weather, and probably completly open. 

[jimmyjazz 45958]

Key West sounds awesome, but that's a lot of transit time.  At least the drive should have great scenery.

[6th Street 6407]

I would go to Vegas since you'll be without your wife and kid and be on your own schedule. Craps table, pool, bar, tables, steak, etc

[brown water 3777]

I’d find the place with the longest post arrival quarantine requirement. And then conveniently forget to mention the requirement.

I could fly into MIA - rent a convertible M4 or a ferrari or something, drive to key west - get hammered and eat well, sleep - drive back to miami, rinse repeat wake up fly home.

That actually sounds like a pretty cool "solo" trip.

[Hank Scorpio 17729]

If I could get 2 days away from the family I too would go to Florida to do some drunk driving. 

[deadshank 24653]

I have a bunch of rocks that need to be moved. You can get your low back and hamstrings tuned up. 

[South Austin 52510]

I did the drive in a convertible from Miami to Key West for a long weekend in 2000, and it was fantastic, but quite the haul. 

Pro tip - Put on a ton of sunscreen. I didn’t think to do that, and got the worst sunburn in my life on the drive down.

FLL is actually easier than MIA.  There is a toll road from there down to US 1 (west of Miami proper) so you don't have to mess with Miami traffic and such.  There is also a cool Hard Rock Seminole Casino with the Guitar Hotel along your way if you wanted to get your gambling game on this trip.

Chrysler LeBaron?

Seabring, as I recall. Went with the first woman who let me do anal. God bless her, wherever she is.

[Deej 76796]

Two days and $500 at a hotel at Rundberg and I-35 will buy you an interesting time. 

[immamac 42852]

I mean this is a pretty good deal isn't it? 

That's the night before flying home hotel at the airport - and round trip airfare. Only other thing I need is hotel in key west for 1 night and the car rental.

[HenryJames 66058]

Staying at an airport hotel is a baller move.

I would select my days based on having this for 3 days. You're gonna have some mileage charge but so what.

CHIEF

[immamac 42852]

it's 338 miles with no detours or anything else. so you have to assume 400 miles. In a 2 day rental that's 3k (+ whatever bullshit fees) + 1k for mileage.

488 spider isn't a dream experience of mine and I don't really care about "stunting" on this trip. I doubt I could even open the thing up for real. 

I'm thinking an AMG GT or an M4/M8 or something similar would do the trick at 500-700/day with the mileage. Maybe even less (780 for unlimited mileage from enterprise exotics)

She sounds like a woman with high standards. 

[deadshank 24653]

And impeccable taste

[immamac 42852]

Alright - Miami is happening booked flights and that hotel, have free cancellation of the hotel with a 131 dollar credit up until Tuesday at noon.

Places to stay either in Key West or in Miami - I've only ever stayed in Miami Beach, never been to Key West.

Was she gentle?

[DalTxHornFan 3101]

Duval Street is the biggest part of a successful debauched Key West trip.  You will be chucking your car once you get there.  There is a cool Hyatt, the Jimmy Buffett place, I'm not Googling right now, but there are lots more places that will work.  You want to be on the south side of Key West near Duval Street.

yeah this was the plan - looks like this place https://tattoosandscarssaloon.com/pages/experience would be really fun.

[CHIEF 5089]

That little Jag F-Type SVR convertible and the 911 Cab from Enterprise would be sweet rides as well. It's a short notice, but there are 4-5 good options, if others are already taken.

CHIEF

[immamac 42852]

https://www.pegasuskeywest.com/ - This place seems good, 1 king room left.

[immamac 42852]

I guess Key West is way cooler than Miami, fuck it maybe I'll just stay there 2 nights and drive to Miami since the flight is at 9PM back. Have to stay sober on the last day if I do that though, which eats into my time being a degenerate.

This is what I was thinking - just something that is fun to drive + convertible. Not some v6 mustang or a sebring. lol

Uber each way.  ~ $1K-$1.3K round trip.

[immamac 42852]

I would totally pay someone to sober drive me in a convertible that I rented back and forth lol, maybe I should make a craigslist ad.

Lots of instamodels in Miami you could probably pay to drive you there and back. Price TBD. 

[immamac 42852]

Is Angie Varona available? 

[TexasHooch 5122]

If I recall, there is a small airport in the Keys. You could do a one way car rental and puddle jump back.

doubt they are renting luxury convertibles one way - but I can try, because I agree the drive back would suck balls.

Just pay someone to tow it back.  Probably about equal to the mileage surcharges.

[immamac 42852]

Not actually a bad idea...I mean I'm not going to be driving much, if at all after I get to Key West...maybe I just do the mustang shit convertible for the views as a one way

Silver has flights for 88 bucks 1 way back to Miami and I could get drunk as fuck and do that instead of having to stay sober the last day before the drive. Of course the other option is 1 day in Key West till 4-5AM - sleep until checkout - get food and sober up, then drive to miami check in take a nap then party balls all night in MIA - thing is I don't think partying in miami will be as much my scene as much as key west. I don't like the clerbs and I'm flying solo - dive bars would be heaven.
