Not really aiming towards beaches. Aiming more towards scenery and green.

Yep. A DDFer scored an upgrade to the presidential suite there last year.

so its time for vacation planning soon. I'm looking for a quick getaway weekend out of NYC and out of the states. The issue I cant take off so much from work. I have done in the past weekends in Cancun and Antigua because they have great flights either Thursday night or early Friday morning. If anyone has any idea for leaving nyc latest 7 p.m Thursday night and coming back Sunday night i am happy to hear!miles and points are no issue at all

Depends what one wants to do on this weekend getaway. Not too short to sit by a pool/beach and do nothing.

I love the folk who go to Oahu for 3 days and then complain to me via email about how lame it was. Probably never even left the city.

You dont need a month. Even a week. Or a Sun to Thurs. For a weekend at the beach I'd go to one of the other places I mentioned. What about key west ?
