Where should I go?
I had a job interview in Philadelpia, and they wanted me to fly out there and meet with them. I would book the airline and they would reimburse me for the cost of the ticket. Since they wanted to meet with me 4 days from then, the ticket was $700. So I go ahead and book it. Later that day, they told me the flight got in too late for them to be there, and that they would need to reschedule it for sometime after the new year.
The ticket I purchased was a non-refundable ticket. All the airline can do is issue a voucher for the price of the ticket, which was fine because I was going to reschedule it anyways. Well, this morning I got an e-mail saying that they had just filled the position, so they were cancelling my interview, but will still pay for the airfare.
Here's the deal, I now have a $700 travel voucher to go anywhere Continental Airlines flies, it has to be used in whole, cannot be split up between two people and cannot be used more than once.
I was thinking a nice weekend getaway in Hawaii, or maybe a trip to Europe, finally get a stamp in my Passport. Or maybe even fly somewhere closer, but fly first class. What do you all think?
Oh, and this will have to be on a major budget, like renting a car and sleeping in it or staying at the Bates Motel! Just sucks that wherever I go I have to go by myself, luckly I'm good at going to new places and finding all kinds of things to do and meet new people.

Haha, I'm actually renting a car and driving to Cleveland on Thursday......
I'm thinking someplace exotic, where I can do some Scuba Diving. Maybe Belize, or Costa Rica, Aruba.....or go even a little further down into Equadore or Peru.
Or I can avoid all the international stuff and just go to Hawaii for the weekend. I'm sure one of the Hawaii S2k perople will help me out! Haha
