Specifically the beginning of december, I'll have a nice chunk of changed saved up by then only problem is I dont know what I want to do. I dont get out a whole lot other than to work or run errands, up until now I've either been stuck on campus or stuck at home but now that I have my car back and some free time I feel the urge to do something. I was thinking maybe volunteer work, sight seeing or just driving my car in one direction for about 3 days then see where I am. Dont exactly drink a whole lot, smoke pot or what have you, so I dont really see myself partying the whole time. Ideas?

First - at the beginning of December, you'll have to take into consideration weather conditions. Colorado is beautiful, but probably not for driving at that time (unless you are used to snow).

Florida? New Orleans?

Just going to a beach is a ton of fun (and relaxing, to boot). I'd stay in the southern states, though - as the further north you go, the more snow/dead grass you are likely to see (and again - if you do not have experience driving in it, for the rest of us, please don't).

You could go and see the World's Largest Ball of Twine and visit Crawdad and myself on the way!

How much money do you want to spend on it?
How much total time do you have off?
Foreign or domestic travel?

I'd go see a concert. Preferably one that's far enough to make it feel like a trip. :)

I think my budget would be around 3-500 for atleast a week, I'll have the whole month of december off and will probably stay within the states. yeah since it doesnt snow or even freeze here very often in central texas, heading far north would probably be a bad idea.

Leave Texas and come to California for a month and find out what it's like to NOT have the man in charge of your children's education be a nutjob fundamentalist christian agenda pusher.

And, you know, no offense intended to Christians, but they should NOT be in charge of public education if they're going to try to replace every textbook with the Bible.

Do you like animals? I'd totally take the time to volunteer at Best Friends Animal Society in Utah.

They are the ones on whom the show Dog Town is based. They are always in need of help - so is your local humane society, for that matter.

Word.

If you have credit card debt, you should consider paying that down so you don't have the high interest rate eating away at you.
You should be more like Cantrip.

If you come to penguinlan, I'm sure someone will shelter you.

Seattle isn't that expensive.

Not that I'd necessarily encourage it, since it sounds like you want to go more vacationy.
