JBaLLEN66 02/01/18 8:24:02 PM #1:	I'm trying to schedule a trip that will be a week either after mid march or early April and I really cannot think of a place to visit. Also, I'm worried about visiting these places by myself. 1) Austin- Never been to Texas, popular city, has in n out but I'm scared it's going to be Nashville 2.0 2) NYC- I've already been to this place, but I wasn't 21 and only stayed in Nashville. I can see it getting old after a week though. 3) Salt Lake City- Seems like a nice chill city, but I can see it getting boring 4) Vegas- self explanatory 5) DC- seems too basic, but I've only driven thru it. 6) San Juan- Puerto Rico-got devastated by the hurricane 7) Costa rica --- Him being greedy is a good thing. That means he'll want to spend less and help us get out of this debt. Gamefreak36 <cite>JBaLLEN66 posted [p:895276906] in Is Austin ...
