Closest Airport: Phoenix - Sky Harbor (PHX)

Why here?
"My favorite thing about Dranks has always been the chance to celebrate our friendships and honor our shared history. Phoenix offers the perfect backdrop for Dranks 2026! As a popular group vacation destination, it has a ton of options for places to stay, from massive villas to adjoining condos where we can enjoy indoor/outdoor fun. Phoenix is also a perfect mix of big city and suburban convenience, with easily accessible restaurants, museums, and parks. It's also easy to fly in to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport! Please enjoy the attached slideshow, complete with clickable links."

Closest Airport: Boise Airport (BOI)

Why here?
"Boise is the perfect mix of cozy relaxation and adventure. With a great combination of a big city while also having nature all around. Nestled right underneath the foothills of the Boise Mountains, in the city of trees we will have access to the following:

• - High quality pacific northwest beer/breweries 

• - Wine from local award-winning vineyards

• - Stunning nature and wildlife at all levels of investment - from day long hikes to easy walks or scooter rides along the Boise River

• - Ability to visit three of the best cats in the world (Eleanor, Ginny and Rhaenyra)

• - A walkable downtown that is packed full of shops, coffee, restaurants, and bars 

• Further-out, Boise continues to deliver exceptional experiences:

• - Natural hot springs at varying levels of accessibility within 2 hours of the city center. Hike into the mountains to find natural warm pools in the brisk fall weather, or cannonball into a pool filled with naturally heated waters.

We love our home in Boise and would love nothing more then to get to share everything wonderful about it with our favorite people in the world!"

Closest Airport(s): O'Hare (ORD) & Midway (MDW)

Why here?
"The Spirit of Dranks goes from place to place  - always bringing cheer, beer, and a bathing suit. 

We think 2026 ought to  grace Chicago with that Spirit. Easy to get to (and around),  we 'll have more  food, breweries,  art, and architecture than our Malort-filled-hearts will know what to do with!"
