I say travel to Hawaii!! My grandmother said it is so clean and beautiful, and Im sure you can learn things about the history and culture while still being somewhat in a US comfort zone. I am hesitant to venture out on my own to central America (thats where BF's company flies a lot) so I figured I could start, like you said, here in the US and work my way out. My friends who have gone have loved it, and your a Delta girl so your bennies pretty much take you everywhere, right?
I have never been to Europe so I wouldn't know where to go first, but my friend just went to Greece and she sent me like 1000 pictures. Let me just say that Greece is sooo beautiful. And we all know that Greece has all sorts of history. I agree that you should use the benefits while you have them. My BF may be getting furloughed in a month (he finds out this week). I wish I would have actually used my benefits to go places other than LGA and ISP.
So definitely go travel and have a blast!! Pave the way for the rest of us
