Mexico-cheap and there's always a few bars in the more "touristy" areas
Hawaii-Maui was AMAZING!! You'd have to get a good deal on a flight, but there's a hostel that works out to be $40 a night in Wailuku (a friend stayed there and raved about it) My husband and I stayed in a condo that we found on a "For rent by owner" website. So much to do! but you HAVE to rent a car.
Seattle-nice for a weekend getaway-underground tours, tour of Safeco field or maybe a game, Eperience music project, I think they may even have a few Starbucks there...
Victoria-good weekender. Downtown is full of touristy stuff and the museum is awesome. I don't know about the nightlife anymore, I moved 10 years ago. And you can always go up the island to tofino, but the hotels are expensive but worth it.
Los Angeles-always cheap flights and you can go to DISNEYLAND!
San Fran-Same as above: cheap flights and lots of things to see. They were doing canine police training that day on Alcatraz Island and the island was FILLED with fully armed/vested people from all sorts of law agencies... made it very realistic. I did the SanFrancisco Giants Baseball stadium tour (and being a girl thought it was going to be lame, but was REALLY interesting!)If you get a car you can go to the vineyards in the area.
Phoenix-golfing/shopping.... need I say more?
Those are just a few that come to mind...
