Hello, I was laid off recently and kind of just want to go somewhere for a few days. Given the layoff, I have a huge amount of flexibility and could leave tomorrow if I wanted (I am job searching, so can’t be too long as to not miss potential interviews). My field is one where I’d be surprised if I didn’t have a job in a month or two, so I’m trying to make the most of it, so don’t worry about that.

A lot of the last minute websites are actually just showing things that are 30-90 days out, but I’m wondering if there’s anywhere that will show me if there’s a 3-day cruise or vacation package that leaves tomorrow, or at least sometime this week, and will be a lot cheaper. I do a decent amount of churning (lots of Chase points), so domestic US flights are relatively cheap through United, and my city is a Delta/Frontier focus city, so lots of options there too.

Ideally, I’d like to stay fairly budget-friendly of a few hundred bucks, but I’m just itching to go somewhere. I figure cruises may be the best deal when it comes to this, but I’m open to all options. I will be traveling by myself, and I live in SW Ohio for driving options.

EDIT: I also have a passport on the off-chance there’s a cheap international trip. Don’t want to burn too many miles for a Europe flight, though, unless it’s under 30k round-trip
