Sisters,

I am organizing a trip (hopefully out of state) for about five of us. Four days in a big city. We want to shop for after Christmas deals. We wouldn’t mind taking in some sights too. Any suggestions?

I hear ya, girl! Not to sound superficial but shopping after Christmas rocks, so many deals so little time. I want to go. Go to New York. Great shopping and great sights. Chicago is cool too, cold but worth it. Not too sure about the sights. Save money by driving and sharing hotel rooms, more cash for shopping. Travel companies often offer after Christmas shopping get aways. The best deal wins. Some travel sites offer student discounts too. You should shop around. I have used studentuniverse.com in the past, not sure if they offer hotel rates, but my plane ticket was cheap. Have a great time.

Not sure what your location is but I couldn’t agree with pretty girl more, the Big Apple is beautiful this time of year and there is no better shopping anywhere. Like I said I don’t know your location and budget but San Francisco is always lovely and L.A. offers great shopping. I would go online or check the newspaper to see if anyone is offering any last-minute deals after Christmas. That seems to be the way to go. Shop around and if you are a student check out Student Universe, I also have heard good things about them. Oh, in my opinion San Diego is a great place to be for any reason.
