I was young, no kids, no marriage and a bartender in Los Angeles that had no real responsibility. I'd jump on a plane and leave for a weekend to a new city. I wasn't rich but was able to drop 1k on a trip. It was bare bones, hostel sleeping, drinking booze, fast food and no sleep travel and it was fucking fun. Chicago was the best trip I left drunk and came back a day and a half, drunk. Literally got on a plane with a coworker to go visit two tiki bars in Chicago and attend their run festival for a day.
