I'd save your $ and fly in the 152.

but if you want to take yourself, your girlfriend and a small bag for a
weekend hideaway and if you want to top off and you are MSL and it is more
than 25 degrees warm than you want to go for the C172, I guess.


Agreed, but that wasn't the question. For actual travel, the 172 is a far more
capable airplane than the 152. For training, (assuming modestly-sized
instructor& student) the 152 is fine.

well, W&B and oberall weight: just calculate what pilot +1 may weight
.... plus fuel ... calculate typical weather (has the OP mentioned the
location?) ...

For local solo rental flying, I prefer
the 152.

agreed, shooting holes in the air this is way cool. just like riding a
bike in the neighborhood. :-)
