Random travel destination wheel

Half domestic, half abroad

The 48 places are split roughly in half. About 18 are in the US, from Boston and Savannah to Yellowstone, the Florida Keys and the Big Island of Hawaii. The rest are cities and regions abroad that first-time international travelers from the US often consider: Lisbon, Mexico City, Kyoto, Edinburgh, Cape Town.

A random pick is only useful if you could actually go. So the first job is to strip the list down. No passport yet? Delete everything outside the US and Puerto Rico. Only a long weekend? Keep places within a few hours' flight. On a tight budget, Oaxaca, Hanoi or Prague go a lot further than Copenhagen or Santorini.

Some people use it for a game instead of a real booking: spin once a month and cook a dish or read a book from wherever comes up.

Letting the wheel choose a trip

1. Open Entries and delete every place you would not go this year, for any reason: cost, season, flight time.
2. Add your own shortlist if you have one, such as the three beach towns your family keeps debating.
3. Press Spin. To decide between the last two, take the loser off with Remove from wheel and spin once more for the final answer.
