While we have our Spring Break plans laid out my wife and I are still thinking about what to do when the kids get out of school.

In the process of combing through beach towns and cool destinations, I thought I'd ask ChatGPT where Illinois residents if they're flying, would go on vacation.

I asked ChatGPT how it came up with those 10 distinct destinations and this is what I got back:

These destinations are commonly chosen for their warm weather, outdoor activities, nightlife, and overall appeal. Factors such as accessibility, diverse attractions, and popularity among travelers from the Midwest, including Illinois residents, were considered in compiling the list.
