Oahu

Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach is allowed to be an easy beach week: boardwalk, seafood, mini golf, repeat. The fun disappears when you keep trying to turn it into something grander.
California
Anaheim
A Southern California trip base for Disneyland days, resort-district convenience, polished family logistics, and enough food and off-park options to keep the vacation from turning into a queue-only marathon.
Georgia
Atlanta
Atlanta pays off when you pick a side of town, give food and neighborhoods equal weight, and refuse to spend the weekend proving you can sit in traffic.

UtahSalt Lake CityA crisp mountain-city weekend for travelers who want a walkable downtown, unexpectedly strong food, and Wasatch scenery close enough to change the rhythm of the whole trip.
VirginiaVirginia BeachA big Atlantic beach city that works best when you treat the boardwalk as one chapter, then make room for quiet Sandbridge sand, maritime forest, a working inlet, and the bay-side history that gives the coast its shape.
